No wonder he has back problems carrying those huge ass birds around the bases!

Spoiler

I've seen that before :lol

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

California has way better food than Massachusetts. Panda is in for a rude awakening.

Cali has better everything other than taxes and rain.

 

[Enron]

Dr Andrews found no structural damage on Mike Minor. Will be out for two weeks and taking anti-inflammatories.

Well the Yankees were interested in Heyward. I guess we know where he's going next FA period.

Rather have Upton.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Rather have Upton.

Heyward's only going to be 26 and the Yankees seem to want to focus on Defense.

 

[BFIB]

I just don't see the Cardinals trading a piece like Miller for one year of Heyward. My guess is he's signed before he hits FA. At least I hope that's the case.

Guy on MLBTR said he can get the largest FA contract in history if his power goes up near 2012 levels. So he would have to love it in STL to not go to FA.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

For some reason Mike Olt decided to become good this ST.
This complicates things.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Double E is hurt. Yaaay.

Hopefully that puts an end to the idea of him as the starting 1B. Let him sit on the bench as DH and just get a few at-bats every day, and it'll all be fine. If he wants to play the field, just save that for interleague play.

News on Lee

@JSalisburyCSN: Cliff Lee still has tear in flexor tendon. Will try to throw for a short period of time and see if improves. If not surgery likely

 

[XiaNaphryz]

News on Lee

Wait, they're hoping that throwing with a torn tendon will somehow improve things?

wat

 

[Malo]

Heyward's only going to be 26 and the Yankees seem to want to focus on Defense.

And Upton is going to be 28, it's not a big difference. They already have two plus defenders in the outfield. Yankees desperately need power and Upton would give them that.

Can Dioner play 1B? :lol

Yanks need players who add value no matter how they get it. Heyward provides more value than Upton while being a couple years younger.

 

[Parch]

Can Dioner play 1B? :lol

Maybe he should learn. Or somebody teach Smoak which end of the bat to hold.
It's starting to look like Chris Colabello has a much better chance of making the team.

 

[CygnusXS]

After watching Melvin's huge and sudden drop-off, plus Justin's massive problem making contact on pitches in the middle of the zone, I don't know if I'd want to take the long-term bet there.

jays season already over before it began

AHAHA


HAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHA

@ShiDavidi: Marcus Stroman suffered a torn ACL during pitchers fielding practice today. #BlueJays Alex Anthopoulos says Stroman was "crushed" by news

 

[Enron]

RIP Jays

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Jays need to go after Edwin Jackson now.

He would fill that veteran leadership position they need and is really underrated.

 

[Varshes]

Stroman nooooooooooooooooo fuck

 

[Rock And Roll]

Had absolutely no hopes for the Jays but this is terrible. Much love to the MaeStro and it's a damn shame he won't get a chance to follow up his fantastic first year.

 

[Parch]

Testing the depth already. New kids on the mound plus we get to see Marco Estrada throw home-run derby practice.

 

[matthewwhatever]

@ShiDavidi: Marcus Stroman suffered a torn ACL during pitchers fielding practice today. #BlueJays Alex Anthopoulos says Stroman was "crushed" by news

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Just...gah. I hate this team. No Stro for the whole year.

 

[The Elite]

Never has a status update on my phone struck me with that much dread and disappointment.

Jays...

 

[Varshes]

Hey uh can I refund my mlb.tv sub?

 

[Frozenprince]

I guess it's Norris time.

 

[Syrinx]

Obviously the Jays should panic and go ham for Dillon Gee.

 

[The Elite]

So both Norris and Sanchez in the starting rotation, I guess. They really need to get some bullpen arms now.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Obviously the Jays should panic and go ham for Dillon Gee.

Or they could just invest in a time machine and still have Syndergaard and D'Arnaud.

I was fully ready for the Jays to be out of it by June/July. Having Stroman gone in spring training and EE likely suffering from back trouble all year means it'll just suck right out of the gate.

Jays...

I re-read it like 3 times just to be sure it actually said the whole season

argh

 

[Beckx]

This spring is murder. I love Fangraphs' silver lining on Darvish is that he has no chance to void the final year of his contract.

Liriano had a nice outing today, 3 innings, one hit, 21 strikes out of 30 pitches. Bucs bats continue to be quiet for the starters though.

 

[ShaneB]

Just seeing the news. Blue Jays are cursed.

The spring is always like this. It's why I don't like doing fantasy league drafts until the 30th.

Johan Santana will be comeback player of the year!

 

[Malo]

Yanks need players who add value no matter how they get it. Heyward provides more value than Upton while being a couple years younger.

A lot of his value comes from his defense and some of it is going to negated by having Ellsbury in center. I really rather not have 3 light hitting outfielders in the power department unless, of course, Heyward regains some of that power this season.

Sucks for Stroman and the jays. They should have really gone after Shields.

 

[Dominican Power]

And Upton is going to be 28, it's not a big difference. They already have two plus defenders in the outfield. Yankees desperately need power and Upton would give them that.

Aaron Judge is going to play RF when Beltran's contract is up.

 

[Humidex]

Stroman out for the season with torn ACL?

Jays already cursed even before the season has started!

 

[Dominican Power]

Baseball players are made out of glass.

 

[Fox318]

At least the jays have lost hope early this year.

 

[Rock And Roll]

Sucks for Stroman and the jays. They should have really gone after Shields.

I would have rather them waited for them to sign someone after this season as Shields is getting up there in age and could fall off completely at any given moment.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Baseball players are made out of glass.

Seriously. Torn ACL while fielding in practice? Fucking really?

 

[The Elite]

Maybe they can just remove the ACL.

 

[zroid]

Saunders is probably wishing he opted for the surgery which left him out till July now

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Seriously. Torn ACL while fielding in practice? Fucking really?

Freak ACL injuries aren't too uncommon. You hear about it enough in even NFL mini-camps when people are just jogging or changing direction.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Seriously. Torn ACL while fielding in practice? Fucking really?

Almost as bizarre as a reliever tearing his ACL while shagging flyballs in the OF.
