Ugh i dont want to give up two upper tier prospects for a 38 yr old knuckleballer..AA is about to make a stupid trade for one season...

I dont even care if they get to the world series in 2013 its not worth givin away all these high calibre picks.The payoff for D'Arnaud and Syndegaard should be alot higher than RA dikkey...

hes had one great year,we have seen how up and down knuckleball pitchers are...stupid move by AA,i really hope dikkey doesnt accept the extension...Only thing that can save this dumb decision...
more than one great year...but the age does concern me.

that being said...age doesnt mean much for pitchers

From the Jays standpoint it doesnt make alot of sense to give overpay for a guy that seems to have a limited market...PLus you only need a 5th starter to fill out the rotation,so why overpay with your best prospect to get a pitcher to be your 5th guy who isnt a 5th guy...

It makes no sense why dont you just spend that same money and go after Dempster or Edwin Jackson in FA without giving away these prospects....I wonder about Anthopoulos decision making now that the teams close...

With the team you got NOW your a competitive team whos probably no worse than 2nd in your own division...you dont need to make this move...

Its a move AA dont need to make,you need a 5th starter NOT a Cy young winner with question marks whos going to command 2 of your top 5 prospects...

Why doesnt he just throw some of Rogers cash at a FA where you dont have to give up DArnaud,he rly the guy i dont want to move....

They got a deadline til Tuesday to negotiate. They can always call the trade off.

Anybody calling this a dumb move for the Mets is thinking real short term. These dudes about to give us 2 of their top prospects when teams were doing nothing but bullshytting when Sandy said top prospects or gtfo.

Jays might make me forget about the NHL lockout this season.
