Steve9347 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 I love it. Sell high on a closer before paying him (always a bad idea), and Molina will clearly wind up in our rotation at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 If this means a full out rebuild, sign me the f*** up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed in '05 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) This team is definitely being blown up. No reason to trade a very affordable closer like this. Edited December 6, 2011 by Whitewashed in '05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 The thing with Santos is pitchers who rely so much on their slider seem to fall apart quickly. I loved watching Sergio, but we're selling high on him. Good luck Sergio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to trade a very affordable closer like this. Unless they forsee some serious holes in the rotation that they need to fill in the next year or two.

Mr. Showtime Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Wasn't one of the scouts we just hired from the Jays? Interesting that we deal with them right away if I am remembering correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Still not sure if this means rebuild mode though, might just be dumping Serg because of Addy, we'll see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved watching Sergio, but we're selling high on him. Good luck Sergio! I thought they could have gotten 2 players instead of one for Santos (around the quality of the one we are getting back), but it's most definitely saying that the Sox weren't sure on Santos lasting for very long, which is a fair assessment. Â I like the move for both teams though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I don't see this move being a sign of blowing up the team or a full rebuild. I see it as Toronto had a starting prospect the Sox are really high on, Santos is what it took to get him, and the bullpen is the area where the Sox have the most depth and can afford to let a guy go.

RockRaines Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 11:57 AM) That's a good call. Â Like it as well. These are the type of deals that need to made for the future of this organization. I forgot about that. Hopefully this guy is as good as his numbers project, I have to admit I have never heard of the guy. Is there anyone with some knowledge of the Jays system that can give us an overview?

southsider2k5 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prosp...11/2612251.html  phillip (long beach, ca): What is Nestor Molina's stuff? He is making double a look very easy.   Jim Callis: It's all solid: fastball, slider, changeup, occasional curveball. Not sure you'd call any of his offerings a plus pitch, but he mixes them well and moves the ball around the strike zone. Not the sexiest scouting report, but that's the type of guy who winds up in the big leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitewashed in '05 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Looks like it's Crain's job to lose at closer now. I can't see them putting Matt back in there... if he's still here. I don't see them handing the job to Reed just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
