I'm biased I'm a casual basketball fan at best that gets annoyed when there is so much Raptors coverage when there's games that actually matter on in the NHL

Storen was exceptional last season (and the season before). I don't know how you expect them to know that he'd lose 2 MPH off all his pitches and see a 300% increase in the flyball/hr ratio.

From 2 years ago to last season there were a few warning signs, including his ERA going from 1.12 to 3.44, walks per 9 was worse as was his WHIP. I understand they didn't have a crystal ball, but there were some red flags there. Perhaps I'm just being a little too critical as I'm not sold on the new management set up at all.

Looks like Gibby's not going anywhere anytime soon.


Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi
#BlueJays GM Ross Atkins voiced support for mgr John Gibbons and coaching staff, telling me they are “absolutely part of the solution.”

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi
Ross Atkins on John Gibbons: “Gibby and the coaching staff are as committed as all of us to seeing this through.” #BlueJays

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi
More Atkins: “Gibby’s consistency and respect for how long and difficult a season is . . . will continue to be one of his many strengths.”

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi
Atkins: "We have greater expectations than a team under 500. We have key divisional games (ahead). That is where our focus is right now."

Goins was never a viable starter in my eyes. I think he makes a good bench player/backup middle infielder though.

With a tulo/davis middle infield though don't you want the bat of Barney on the bench rather then Goins?

More runners stranded! Surely we will be cashing those runners in sooner or later.
