Lind is getting full time at first that way..
The more this shapes out, the less likely I feel it is that the Jays will make a push for Prince in the off season.

Then again, all I want is for Lawrie to play 3B. We need to get a 2B because Hill isn't going to get resigned for anything more than 1 year.


Suggestions that the Jays will go after Reyes and either stick him at 2B or Escobar there. No chance they get him though so I don't know what they'll do.

That would be sweeeet.
I was reading Baseball America and Reyes stated we wanted to remain a Met, but they don't have the cash. BoSox will probably take him, because they're not too great there.
Stankees have Jeter, so they won't I don't think.

E: Do you think the Jays might take a run at Heath Bell? There's a reliever for the pen right there.

Jays will probably try to trade for him because even if they can't sign him he's a Type A FA so they'll get a top pick for him. I bet AA will get Bell. This guy really is an amazing GM.

If Adam Lind didn't get injured earlier in the season he'd be right up there with Prince Fielder.

So it is Dotel, Zipper and Jackson. Fuck that's a steal. How the fuck does AA do this.

I hope so.
I've been dying for a decent closer for a couple years. AA does A LOT better than Riccardi (sp?). That guy sucked, and thought he was the best.

Riccardi was good at finding gems but he was too conservetive in drafting and was never charming enough to do these trades. AA is really turning this franchise around. SInce he came the Jays farm system has become one of the best, if not the best.

I'm stoked.
The two trades combined made it work out like this:

Jays Acquire: Mark Teahen and Colby Rasmus
Jays Trade: Jason Frasor, Zach Stewart, Octavio Dotel, Mark Rzepczynski and Cash

Correct?

That's exciting. With this working out, I wouldn't mind seeing something like this for a line-up.

LF: Snider
CF: Rasmus
RF: Bautista

1B: Lind
2B: Hill
3B: Lawrie (PEACE EE)
SS: Escobar

C: Arencibia
DH: Thames

Davis needs to be a bench guy..
