I agree with you that they have to be at least over $100M to be taken seriously and make a legit World Series run...
I agree.Gonna wait air to see how those two major league arms Pan out
Early on this deal favors the Blue Jays, but the true winner of this deal will not be determined, like archie said, until a couple years go by and how these young prospects develop and contribute.
The A's scouts must see something in these young players.
Yes. This looks to be a really nice deal for Toronto...Toronto gets Josh Donaldson from the A's for Brett Lawrie and 3 prospects. Got to like that deal if you are a Jays fan.
Teams that suck really bad at the time, have to pay for players more than they are worth.He's definitely not "Werth" that contract, in my opinion.
I remember referring to him as Jayson "Werth-less" when he was with the Dodgers.
I've just never been a fan of this guy...
Sean Rodriguez?
interesting
Just watched the Doc Ellis story "No No: Dockumentary".
The Pirate that pitched a no-hitter on LSD against the Padres on June 12, 1970.
Here's the box score from that game... http://www.baseball-reference.com/bo...97006121.shtml
Far from a gem for Doc as he walked 8 and beamed one batter, But never less a No-Hitter.
As for "No No: Dockumentary". It is a must see for all baseball fans, especially Pirate fans.

Word! I'm still not convinced someone could pitch a game while tripping, let alone throw a no-hitter.pretty amazing
LSD must have affected him differently than everyone else that I know of...
Arch, I must admit that I'm sad to see Clint Barmes go, he signed with San Diego.Sean Rodriguez?
interesting
He was smoother than silk at shortstop, plus a great guy in mentoring the younger players.
Granted, he was making entirely too much money, in my opinion.
Coming from someone that played the position, the Padres got a nice deal with this signing...
yeah Barmes grew on me for sure
I'm going to predict the Pirates starters for Opening Day 2015:
C: Cervelli
1B: Pedro
2B: Walker
SS: Mercer
3B: J-Hay
OF: Marte, Cutch, Polanco
I really hope El Toro works his butt off this winter to become a legit first baseman.
Need his bat in the lineup, just don't think he's the answer at the hot corner anymore...
looks right, now try to predict the batting orderI'm going to predict the Pirates starters for Opening Day 2015:
