The **** do we need with Lincoln, then? Delabar is actually better than him, at a lower cost. Yay, we have a bullpen filled with guys having good seasons...our rotation is still putrid, and our lineup has several holes, but at least now Farrell can't **** us in the **** face with the same ferocity.

Lincoln starts.

He will also not be a FA until 2018.

Good trade. I like.

This is a decent trade.

It's almost as if AA has been scarred with how badly his bullpen projects have gone the last couple years.

Meaningless trade but at least I won't ever have to see eric thames play for the jays again.

Other than Luis Perez it's been pretty damn awful for sure... and except for maybe Evan Crawford and Marcus Stroman nobody else looks even close. Honestly they should have kept Joel Carreno as a BP arm. He flourished there.

Good trade. Prediction: AA is going after an outfielder.

BTW, Farrell said Lincoln will be used out of the pen.

Is AA sleeping with Rajai Davis or something??

At least it would't hurt to try with jokers like Romero and Cecil pooping the mound each start.

Lincoln is godawful as a starter. Trust, it could hurt.

I've switched to whiskey after getting home, as I don't have gin here. I'm one more trade for a reliever away from switching to heroin, though.

Thames' facial hair will make him a cult hero in Seattle #hipsters

@jonmorosi
Like the Delabar trade for #BlueJays. He has 11.3 SO/9 and .927 WHIP this year.

So if we had traded Snider for Delabar and Thames for Lincoln, everybody would have been happy :lol:
