Melky was incredibly underwhelming when facing the AL East pitching, so I wouldn't expect roider-level production, but for a two year deal on a 28 year old? Amazing value.

 

[Fenix]

Where's awwwwyeaaaahh.jpg when you need it.

 

[BigJonsson]

Reyes and Melky are both going to hit over .330 right?

 

[darkside31337]

Reyes and Melky are both going to hit over .330 right?

Yes after they both go see the man in the white lab coat.

 

[BigJonsson]

And the Jays still have JPA/D'Arnaud/Gose/Sanchez/Sydengaard/Rasmus if any other needs arise

 

[Sanjuro]

How are the Jays going to perform without the legendary John Farrell?

 

[BigJonsson]

Yes after they both go see the man in the white lab coat.

You mean Brian McNamee in the Skydome hotel


Marcus Stroman ‏@MStrooo7

Wow! The Toronto #BlueJays welcome Melky Cabrera to the organization! Unbelievable talent. Let's go! #Canada



lol, Stroman was also caught using a PED this season.....

 

[Fenix]

4 switch hitters now.

 

[yankeehater]

Stroking it!

You are going to need a new tag after this season. I was 1 year early on predicting a Blue Jays WS.

 

[BigJonsson]

4 switch hitters now.

Top 4 in lineup are potentially all Dominican


But who will be the manager lol

 

[yankeehater]

Ozzie.

Acta (though I'd honestly want Ozzie, if only for the hilarity).

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Thank god no more Melky.

 

[Fenix]

Seriously, I really hope it's Acta.

BBWAA voted overwhelmingly for Cabrera.

People who follow and write about baseball for a living > people who post in a baseball thread on a videogame forum.

It's hilarious to me that the same sort of guys who would vote for Cabrera for MVP, are the ones who would keep scrappy utility players around because of their "intangibles." Trout was better at all of those "intangibles" than Cabrera, but they voted on his fancy numbers.

But whatever, Cabrera is still a massive piece of human shit. Looking forward to next year's regression.

 

[Foil]

Cool, team PEDS. I am excite. And that's LF sorted out.

Team Booster Juice.

Canada is the best place for steroid users to go to.

 

[rinse82]

Is this real life?

 

[Windu]

Acta (though I'd honestly want Ozzie, if only for the hilarity).

Acta is underrated so he probably will sign him.

 

[McNei1y]

Now trade for Doc Halladay Blue Jays! Make it work!

You mean like the guy that gave Michael Young a first place vote last year?

You are going to use 1 bad vote to dismiss all the voters?

 

[BFIB]

Melky signed by the Jays?

Now TLR has to manage this team. I want the GAF MLB-Age meltdown.

 

[BigJonsson]

Now trade for Doc Halladay Blue Jays! Make it work!

King Felix!

 

[Heart Attack]

I would love for the Blue Jays to win the wild card, or even the division, but i'm not buying them as a playoff team even with Melky and those shitty players (except Josh Johnson) they got from the Marlins.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

How about all those GGs that Jeter has won? Idiotic voting by baseball writers is not a new phenomenon.

 

[Dominican Power]

Thank god no more Melky.

You're so ungrateful. Melky is one of the reasons why y'all won a world series. He carried that team in the first half and helped y'all win home field in the all star game.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

You are going to use 1 bad vote to dismiss all the voters?

Well you seem to be using the fact that they are called "baseball writers" to mean that they are all smart and credible so aren''t you just generalizing too?

 

[Macattk15]

God damnit Mariners. Do something! Besides putting up the giganticust video screen ever.

Beats even Cowboy Stadium's I think? 57 ft x 201 /12 ft.

edit : Nah nvm it doesn't due to the height of the Cowboy's screen. 11,425 sqft compared to 11,520 sqft.

Spend that shit on players! I kind of wanted Melky, roids aside.

Cardinals introduced an alternate home jersey to be worn on Saturday home games. They're also doing away with the blue road hats and will wear red hats all the time now.

I really hope that the guys voting for Braun are doing the same for Barry every year.

All that extra money after dropping Ichiro is being used decent.

 

[Foil]

Oh god, the bagged melk jokes are already starting.

 

[Macattk15]

Indeed.

I actually read somewhere that Safeco Insurance is funding it and not the Mariners ... so who knows.

 

[see5harp]

8 million a year for Melky is highway robbery. He obviously wasn't getting many offers.

 

[rekameohs]

Those Red Sox / Yankees games will be really exciting when they're last and second to last in the division!

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

he wants to be a part of the New Dominican Order. Melky, Bautista, Reyes, Encarncion among others

AA last Fri: "we’ve been able to open it up a little ... with a little more room payroll wise" Since then, $52m added in '13 #understatement

"Green light, pull the trigger."

 

[Opiate]

Hanging on pure stats is just as lacking as using grit as a reason to give an MVP.

Can you explain why that should be the case? "Stats" are things which we can actually observe and measure. Things like "Grit" are "intangibles" or, as I like to consider them, magic.

Did Mike Trout lack the Will of a Warrior?

 

[yankeehater]

Well you seem to be using the fact that they are called "baseball writers" to mean that they are all smart and credible so aren''t you just generalizing too?

No I am just going off the idea that they are people who are paid to watch/write about baseball and most years we dont hear any complaints about their votes, or at least just a few.

Life long Jays fan signing in.

Pretty sure there are lots of complaints about their votes every single year. Some more than others.

 

[Malo]

Fuck the AL East.

probably wasnt seeing many 2 year offers. gotta love that signing for the boys in blue. bautista rbi over/under starts at.. 140?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

If Melky is ATL bad, horrible deal for the Jays. Giving him a multi-year deal is a huge risk.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Team with best unis need to be good.

 

[Kave_Man]

Life long Jays fan signing in.

Do I get a pass?

Besides I am fairly confident you won't see me post much during the season anyways. I tend to go to more games or hang out at a buddy's place watching the game then post on here during the summer.

 

[RobotHaus]

Team with best unis need to be good.

They are.

The Cardinals are unveiling new road and alternate home uniforms. This new uni will be worn on Saturday home games for the 2013 season, along with a road uni in the same form factor, just a grey color scheme.

Me likey!

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Damn dats nice! Baseball looking so good.
