I don't see AA giving that up so quickly. Plus he does love his picks.....<br /><br />Now on a pitching front it may be an extremely interesting post if you looked at the Jays options this winter. Between potential trades and free agent signings. It could be an interesting off season........<br /><br />Great siteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8963275550388939753.post-28117725297649901312011-10-22T19:31:31.550-07:002011-10-22T19:31:31.550-07:00I completely agree with you as that was kind of th...I completely agree with you as that was kind of the point I was trying to make, I think we really need more pitching than hitting, but why I really don't Wat is to give up what it's would costs to get fielderAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745310082030693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8963275550388939753.post-60809502896209051152011-10-22T19:23:37.609-07:002011-10-22T19:23:37.609-07:00I agree with what you have written I.e go after Fe...I agree with what you have written I.e go after Feilder if you need a bat. Personally I think the Jays won't do a thing on the offensive side this off season. <br />When you look at the batting line up we will be better with a full season of Rasmus and Lawrie. Plus if we sign Johnson that should be an upgrade over Hill. JPA should be able to adjust and increase the abysmal BA and OBP. That's possibly 4 slots in the lineup where we should be better. <br />For me the biggest issues were the construction of the lineup. We should see Rasmus batting 2nd not Thames. As much as I hate Lind hitting clean up I can't see another way around it.<br />Escobar, Rasmus, Bautista, Lind, Lawrie, Johnson, encarnacion, Snider/ Thames, JPA<br />The only other solution I see is<br />Rasmus, Escobar, Johnson, Bautista, Lind, Lawrie, snider/ Thames, EE, JPA <br />Either way I don't anticipate anything on the offensive side until mid season when after a half season of Lind sucking and continuing to swing at everything, he finally goes out and gets us a clean up hitter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
