I wonder if illy still thinks Cordero is a good closer?

Hopefully xAIRNESSx is around to make the next series thread.

[Homer Jay]

Jeff Mathis with the 1.202 OPS. W T F?

He's juicing.....

Jeff Mathis with the 1.202 OPS. W T F?

He's juicing.....

He hit 2/3rds of the amount of HR he did last season. In 5% of the PA.

I always said his offensive numbers would come up this year and he'd have a career year.

Mathis makes up a lot of ground defensively on JPA and is coming to a hitters ballpark. I bet Mathis post a OBP north of .260 this year.

Another good value signing. IMO he'd win us more games than JPA (unless JP improves a lot).

Some were more skeptical.

Jeff Mathis has 500 MLB games under his belt and we can safely say he is one of the worst hitters in Baseball history. Why would you expect him to improve his offensive numbers? Just because he's now joining a team you support? The levels of homerism on here is insane, how you can try to portray a terrible player as anything less than terrible just because he's a Jay now is beyond me.

Jeff Mathis is a negative asset, he will actively hurt the team every game he plays. Anybody who thinks that's debatable is an idiot.

Also I'm surprised of how many people didn't want EE to be playing in the off season.

I think he is an above average player at best, I keep him around because Jose and Yunel along with EE have a good bond and they work well together and in the locker room. I much rather see JP or someone like Snider or who ever does not fill the LF spot fill the void at DH. I was surprised we brought him back he is the def of finishing strong and playing for a contract. I really had no want or need in having him back. He isnt really young and we know what his max potential is (not a high ceiling at all) But!!! He did make a few plays last year that I thought were AWESOME!!

He is like 7th in fWAR as a DH, which puts him at average/above average (there are 15 DH's, not 30)

The fact that he sucked for half the year is the best part. He struggled and still managed to be average. If he has a good year (which he can) he will be lights out.

JPA DHing over EE? Really.

Anyways its nice to see some of the least favorite players on the team (a lot of people hated EE DHing and also hated the Mathis trade even though all we gave up was Brad Mills)

Let's see if they can keep it up.

Frank is good, Rauch is terrible.

I'd take Francisco over Cordero any day.

all well and good on your part flat, but you called the season very early too a couple of days ago for the Jays, so I'll personally hold you to that one and see how you make out when it's all said and done.

I called the season? You mean I said they won't make playoffs? Yeah I don't think we jumped the 10+ wins required to make playoffs. You can sig that all you want.

Still won't stop me from going to as many games as possible while watching the rest. The best feeling ever is knowing that we are just at the beginning and not the end.

Hopefully xAIRNESSx is around to make the next series thread.

Definitely. I wasn't sure what the etiquette was for the series threads.

[Santoki]

lol did someone just yell hit him in the face?

Yup, that guy was just a section over from me. Figgins thought it was going to be him - he was just glad he could get back to the bench without getting nailed.

[Relentless88]

Anyone remember this play? Aaron Hill stealing home. One of my favourite Aaron Hill moments.

Make CJ the closer please!

The league has figured out Jansen's tricks, he needs to come up with new ones.
