Hey Yankees... you can take your apology and your trophy and shove 'em straight up your ass!
maybe the problem is we are not in alphabeitcal order
it should be like this:
A. Iwamura
B.J. Upton
C. Crawford
C. Pena
D. Navarro
E. Longoria
E. Hinske
G. Gross
J. Bartlett
either that’s the problem, or maybe we’re just too 1st half of the alphabet heavy. we need some guys who’s first names start after M…
kind of funny
the lead off and the last two hitters do not move

why do you think i'm posting?
point. counterpoint.
why is this in pacific time?
did you ever wonder that?
something to look at
on baseball reference you can see how teams do against diff type pitchers. The Rays are terrible against power pitchers. I looked at a couple of other teams and no one’s differences are as drastic as ours. Perhaps because the Rays strike out a ton and don’t walk that much (better than we used to be though).
MVP: Blue Jays not putting up anything offensive
No really folks, Gross to have a breakout game. That’s my story and I am sticking to it…

I bet he’s happy he doesn’t have to face our hack-tastic hitters that seem to enjoy pummeling him.
We have two hits off of him in his 7 inning MLB career.

Call me a CC Hater now
He can’t field, he can’t take a fucking pitch to save his life…and he’s basically speed and nothing more..
I hope we can get great value when we trade him…

No...
He’s going to get traded, he’s a total wimp in addition to my list…
He’s not willing to hit leadoff because “he thinks it takes his freedom as a hitter because he’s forced to take pitches” and he won’t play CF(nor would I want him to)
Read my lips, Crawford needs to be dealt. I wonder if we could trade him for Lincecum and Villalona.

See:
The failure to bat leadoff thing and the CF thing.
I know you’re our “franchise” player, but damn dude…you’re a one-pitch out machine….in real-life, in video games, everywhere…
Garza's ERA: 4.92
But his ratios aren’t good, needs to step it up.

Now I know why Buck Showwalter got canned...
Toronto isn’t that good of a team, nor can JP Riccardi put together a roster without trying to overload on the “scrappy, small white guy” infielders.
Toronto will finish in second place this year in the ALE.
