    Like I said, hold off until he finishes any higher than fourth in his division.

     

    Agreed. While all of these look great on paper, we're still dealing with unknowns here. The only move that we can safely say has helped their team at this point has been unloading Wells' contract. A GM should be judged on the performance of the team so can we please wait until the Jays make the playoffs and some of these prospects pan out before anointing this man "the best GM in baseball?" I know they're in a incredibly tough division but we saw with the Rays that it's entirely possible to compete in if not win the AL East with good young talent.

     

    Also, regarding the Wells trade, I would say that AA just got lucky with that one. Anybody in his situation would try to trade the guy given his contract and lack of production, and AA just found someone stupid enough to take on the entire contract and even send back a couple of mediocre prospects. KW is definitely dangling Rios out there and will trade him for almost anything if it means the other team taking on the entire contract. That doesn't make him a great GM, just not f***ing stupid.

    WS WINNA!

    Well, I suspect de Aza will be the lead off hitter next year, replacing Pierre. I sure hope so, at least vs. RHP.

    He can do a lot more things than Juan.

     

    i don't see why people keep ripping pierre as much as they do. he has at the very least been serviceable and is probably our fourth best hitter at this point (although thats not saying much). hell, he has the third highest obp on the team. and while his defense isn't great, it's definitely not horrendous either.

     

    this is not saying i would want him back next year though
