digitalmonkey 929 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 he can make up for Jose's walks As long as Travis isn't hitting behind him Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Sounds like it'll take $18M per to get Fowler...4 years $60M won't do it. Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,312 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 As long as Travis isn't hitting behind him he hit into 6 DP's all season which isn't that many. Travis does strike out too much though. Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Sounds like it'll take $18M per to get Fowler...4 years $60M won't do it. There are only St. Louis and Toronto going after him. His market may drop too Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 he hit into 6 DP's all season which isn't that many. Travis does strike out too much though. Plus 3 in 2 games in the playoffs. Small sample size, sure, but it's all moot...he'll be injured soon. Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Travis is fine. If he can work on his defense and patience at the plate a bit, he could be a star. As it is, he's not hurting them at 2B. his K% is actually fine at 20%, he just doesn't walk much because he puts a ton of balls in play, so his k/BB ratio is pretty bad.

FCP Bob 1,312 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Sad to see Edwin go David Singh @_DavidSingh 6h6 hours ago Quite the paragraph on Blue Jays/Edwin by Keith Law http://www.espn.com/blog/keith-law/insider/post?id=6094&ex_cid=InsiderTwitter_law_encarnacioncolossalcoupforcleveland … Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Yeah Jays are dumb for this one. I don't think they ever wanted to re-sign Edwin. They offered him 4/80 out of the gate knowing he wouldn't accept so they could tell their fans they tried. The Kendrys Morales signing, in a vacuum, is pretty bad, but not crippling. Given that it probably stopped us from paying money to Fowler or Edwin, the signing is looking like a complete disaster. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 The Jays say they're going to have an increased payroll this season. I'm curious what they're going to spend it on. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I kind of like Morales. And I actually really liked the Pearce signing. But man, what a screw up this is. 2017: 20mill Edwin, or 16.25mill Morales+Pearce 2018: 20mill Edwin, or 17.25mill Morales+Pearce 2019: 20mill Edwin, or 12mill Morales only This choice is a no brainer for me. Good luck spending the balance left from the above on anything that makes up for what you are losing in Edwin. And even if the Jays say they are spending more this year, they have already spent most of the "edwin money" Overall, the way I see it, its baseball, and anything could happen. Edwins back could give out once and for all, and Morales could get back to some of his better years, still only 33, not that old. And Pearce could hit 30hr in Toronto with some playing time, and even help out at 2B and all over the field. But if I had a choice today, and Im guessing if anyone had a choice today, they would pick Edwin. Link to post Share on other sites

digitalmonkey 929 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I get the feeling they're gonna make a big trade. Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Not sure who pissed off or didn't want who. For a player of Edwin's skills and age, 4/80 has to be as good or very close to 3/66. You'd think if that was the Jays offer and they really wanted each other, they'd have made a pairing. I'd imagine EE's camp was none too pleased with the Morales signing, which seems reasonable Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I agree with Arp re: Pearce...I think he can hit 30 if he gets enough ABs. Link to post Share on other sites
pezeveng 207 Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 I find that over the last 20 years, sports gambling has desensitized me from caring about actual players on my fav teams. As a Toronto sports fan the only players I was pissed about losing were Clark, Holladay, and Mcgrady. I can now add Edwin to that list. Typical of a Toronto sports franchise to have a he said she said bullshit over a guy signing or not signing. Like I said at the beginning of the year, to me Uncle Eddy was the guy we needed to sign. That being said this is still a solid team, and unlike basketball where you basically have no chance to win with a solid team, in baseball you can. and btw Andrew Mccutchen will help me get over losing Edwin.
