A couple responses to some posts:
- Travis' D has been wayyyy better than advertised, to the point where it is at least average and maybe slightly above average, and he is a good hitter that is getting better.
- I read that internally the Jays had Hansal (Gretel?) Rodriguez outside of their top 30 internally, so that trade just becomes better and better, plus Upton has come in with the right attitude.
- The Jays are only paying the difference between the salaries of Storen and Benoit which is about $375,000.00, less than a league minimum player. That is money they were going to have to spend when Storen's DFA time ran out as there was no way he was going to the minors, he would have opted for free agency leaving the Jays on the hook anyway. If Benoit gives the team anything, a huge win. If he doesn't, nothing lost.
- Moving Dickey up is smart as:
a) Baltimore would feast on him
b) Gives Martin two full days off
c) Top three starters face the O's
