What is going on here? How is he pitching so well since the all star break? It is too small of a sample size but what should they do with him? Pretty sure we got to bring him back with they way he pitched lately. Maybe not in the same role but he would be helpful.

How is he doing it? He's been doing it for 4 years in a row, it shouldn't be a surprise that he's pretty good.

Yeah, he's a decent reliever. Not sure why we had to trade Mike Napoli for a decent reliever, but we did.

Anyway, we'll offer him arbitration, it will be up to him whether to accept it. I suspect the Jays would prefer the pick over his return, though.

Francisco is a really good setup man. What he showed earlier in the season was partially small sample size and injury. He's never going to be a real closer but if you need a lockdown setup man he can do that for you.

I'd bring him back on this year's salary if we could.

He's been great since the all star game and I wouldn't mind bringing him back. I guessing we'll offer him arbitration and see what happens.

he was one of the guys out of the all the lame bullpin I said I would considering giving a chance next season because of his history in Texas.... other than that Janssen and Villanueva are are the only other guys that deserve to be back.

Perez is fine too, but he is likely a starter in the future... if not with the Jays, then elsewhere

We never really had him and I miss Napoli :(

But Francisco is a decent 8th-inning guy, I guess.
