jays basically decided between arencibia and d'arnuad

i dont mind this trade we still have arencibia and buck backing him up, in terms of pitching we still ahve deck mcguire and kyle drabek when they get healthy, happ and cecil go to the bull pen

Buck was also traded.

I didn't think Sandy could get this type of package for dikkey but :noah:

RA dikkey is going to get LIT up in the AL next year...

I guess some teams just want to try too hard to make news. At least the Mets got good prospects.

He's playing 90 - 95 games in domes(Rogers Centre and Tropicana Field), he excels in dry conditions, he'll be straight. Don't expect dikkey to be a Cy Young player, more like a 3.40 - 3.60 ERA guy w/ 200 innings. Still given that's a legit #2 , and he can be a mentor to some of the young pitchers.

2.20 ERA in the AL in 10 starts over the last 3 years, sure it's a small sample size, but Kuroda did well going from a pitcher's park in Dodger Stadium to the the Yankees.

I have no idea how Hurricane Sandy pulled this off. Three top 50 prospects for Beltran and dikkey is a great job.

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....

I hear what you are saying @Miggs . But you know what, I have been to over a 150 games since Joe touched them all(shyt I still some what remember the games I went to at the EX for fukk sakes). I do not give a fukk about our batting line up in 2016. Sure your doubts are a 100% correct, but like I said I don't give a fukk at this point.

AA has pushed the Jays Chips all in. Honestly if this does not work out, how bad are we really off compared to the last 20 years?

Man fukk it, I am all in with AA. At the very least I will not be pissed about paying my Rogers bill till June this year.. :yeshrug:

dikkey, johnson, morrow, buehrle, romero



i changed my minds f prospects you never know if there gonna turn out or not

fukk it at this point. If this team flops, it flops. But fukk it, let's at least put our chips on the table.

We build prospect to make these types of moves. With the extra WC spot why not go all in?

Even if this teams flops, will it be any worse then what we have gone through since 93?

It's a good deal for the Mets. TD was on fire hitting .333 in triple A Las Vegas before he blew his left Knee out..
