Joel Zumaya threw for scouts today. They said he hit 105 on the gun a few times.

Nice. He should be good to go now that they stopped making Guitar Hero games.

 

[Lambtron]

Zumaya's problem has never been hitting triple digits.

Yeah, it's been Jim Leyland.

 

[BigJonsson]

There are Beltran to the Jays rumors? Really?

 

[darkside31337]

There are Beltran to the Jays rumors? Really?

Why not? He had a great season last year.

 

[BigJonsson]

Why not? He had a great season last year.

Wouldn't expect the Jays to be going after him

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Wouldn't expect the Jays to be going after him

They're gonna need someone to replace Bautista's bat in the lineup during his inevitable 50 game suspension.

 

[BigJonsson]

If he tests positive for anything it would be awesomeness, and you can't get suspended for that yet

rumor is, at least 1 darvish bid was "sky" high. may have been "north'' of $50M. again, unconfirmed.

Heyman is trolling Jays fans hard.

Sports "journalism" is every bit as atrocious as games "journalism"

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

One team--let's call them the "B. Jays". Wait, no, that's too obvious. Let's say the "Blue J's".

 

[Doytch]

Journalists was straw #1 in me quitting vidja games. Hopefully 'straw #2: wealth of idiot fans' doesn't permeate this thread. (How do I keep the Leafs fans out of this thread once the Jays become good???)

And yes, I am aware that having multiple straws breaks the metaphor. Blow me.

 

[eznark]

"rumor is"
"word is"
"sources say"

All things John Heyman led reports with. Earlier in the day he ripped rumor mongers for starting Rollins to Tigers.

I would not be surprised if you looked through his tweets and saw he was the one who started it.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

Man, I'd love to see that Prado/Jurrjens for Adam Jones trade. So if you're a Braves fan, that pretty much means you should hope they don't do it.

 

[Doytch]

I lol'd at work today when I read the O's were in on Prado/Jurrjens. "Oh, those Orioles." :jnc

 

[talisayNon]

Are bandwagon Jays fans going to create starting lineups in this thread like Manics does in the NHL thread?

That'd be cool

here i'll start

1. DrWho LF
2. brinbe RF
3. DevelopmentArrested 3B
4. Doytch 1B
5. RGill C
...
...
...

Rotation:
1. ...
2. ...
3. ...
4. ...
5. ...

50 game ped suspension:
..

 

[BigJonsson]

Put me on there

 

[R_GILL]

Heyman is trolling Jays fans hard.

:jnc

I will admit that I didn't see the subtle references when I first read that.

That being said I can't see the Jays bidding more then maybe 30ish million. Even that just seems so out of character for Anthopolous.

Okay, okay fine not so subtle.

By "Leafs fans" he means people currently advocating trading Rasmus and/or will ask why the Jays don't trade their first round picks for impact players.

Where does reality fit in that squad? The Jays are not better than a 3rd place "who gives a crap" squad, as usual.

Title will come from one of the following: Boston, LAA, Texas, Detroit"

LOL, NL

LOL, Gaffers

Meh I doubt it would be worse then the 7th circle of hell that is the official Blue Jays forum.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Blue Jays, Cubs, Rangers, and Yankees all bid on Darvish.

Blue Jays believed to be the winner.

I had Danny Knobler commenting on it before Heyman, but looked more like he was trying to walk it back.

Says who

 

[Doytch]

Srsly. Whenever someone mentions trading a pick, I just tune out immediately. Can't even get the rules straight, smfh.

This Darvish stuff won't get sorted out til next week. Can we keep the "Heard this" tweets out, and only stick with seemingly credible stuff?

 

[talisayNon]

heard the cubs won. source from cubs say he wouldn't be surprised if they were the winning bid

 

[Windu]

He's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Darvish pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

 

[rinse82]

I too see the Jays only puttting in a modest bid, that way Rogers can tell its fanbase - "hey guys we tried, tough luck right?"

Still holding out hope for a Fielder/Darvish future by next week

That essentially rules out all of twitter.

Hearing Heyman live was hilarious as he tried to report news like the whole Pujols deal without making anyone look bad. Got to protect those awesome sources, eh Heyman?

Are you referring to his sources as plural to protect his lone font of information (and his true benefactor) Scott Boras?

Hey man, Scott Boras is an official Friend of the Nats(TM) and ain't nothing gonna change my mind about that. After all, he got us prizes like Jayson Werth!

That's the plan!

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Chuck James signs with the Mets! Who needs Darvish.

 

[Brinbe]

The "buzz" is that Toronto had whopper of offer on Darvish. Many reasons for Jays to bid more than $50mm. Believe Rangers bid. Prob. in $40s

Noooo, I refuse to get hyped... =(

 

[Doytch]

"Why don't you shut up?" </Apu>

For serious, Evan Grant? Dude's a tool.

hahaha, damn twitter...
and there's more.

Sounds like Blue Jays may have won the bid on Darvish. at least that is what i am hearing #cubs #darvish

 

[Doytch]

Who the fuuuuuck is HotStoveCubbies...

This is about as stupid as posting Eklund rumours.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Blue Jays have won the bidding, according to my gut feeling.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Blue Jays have won the bidding, according to the Man In White.

 

[cashman]

Noooo, I refuse to get hyped... =(

It's okay, that tweet was from the same guy who voted Michael young MVP

 

[eznark]

Sources indicated to me that Yu Darvish died of herpes.

 

[Kave_Man]

By "Leafs fans" he means people currently advocating trading Rasmus and/or will ask why the Jays don't trade their first round picks for impact players.

Then we are cool once again.

I'm hoping to become a card carrying member of Jays-Age...but I think I need a laptop to do that since my TV is no longer right across from my computer.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Sources indicated to me that Yu Darvish died of herpes.

Jon Heyman believes it was passed on to him by Braun, who was courting him.

 

[Windu]

so did jeter, braun and darvish have some kind of gay orgy then?
