Should have been last off season, could have got the moon. But yeah, second best would be this off season, if they wait and use him to sell tickets and then lose him for nothing that'll be a huge piss off.

Biagini is either lights out or terrible. No middle ground with this guy.

Getting yanked with the bases loaded and one out in the 2nd inning and leading 5-3.

Biagini is not a starter, and that experiment needs to end

Yup. Time for parties to accept he's a 7th/8th inning guy.

The experiment doesnt need to end yet. They are just playing out the string now so no harm in keeping it going and he has looked down right dominant at times.

Very inconsistent though no doubt.

Next years rotation:

Happ
Stroman
Sanchez

Koehler?
Bolsinger?
Biagini?
Rowley?
Santos?
Borucki?

Estrada? (UFA)
Anderson? (UFA)

Only 3 set guys right now for next year and one of them is Aaron "the blister" Sanchez. No harm in trotting a guy like Biagini out there for the rest of the season to see if he can find some consistency IMO

IMO, with Biagini they're looking for something that's just not there. Bullpen is important too

I think they have little choice but to re-sign Estrada. Trying to woo other UFAs won't be cheap. At least he wants to be there.

I'm thinking they will bring back Estrada - he only really had the one rough patch in the middle of the year. Other than that his work has been good and I'd like to see him back in the rotation. No idea who number 5 or 6 would be.

And personally I think there is no way JD gets moved this offseason. Toronto is 5th in the MLB and 2nd in the AL for average attendance (39,532 per game). Having a star name in the line-up is huge for attendance numbers, so there is no way they'd want to give up JD and take a big hit to the attendance. It might be the best baseball move (though I'd debate that personally), but I just don't see it happening.

Great night for Joey Bats tonight. Made 2 great catches to save extra base hits from the Royals.

Jon Heyman is reporting a 1 year, $13 million extension, which would be a million less than what he made this season.

I will be in attendance for the weekend game versus the Yankees! First jays game and was hoping for a playoff push, but the game should still be fun!

Doesn't look like they are going to trade Donaldson

They should try to sign Anderson to a 1 year deal too. He should come cheap and has some tantalizing upside (so long as you price in the likelihood he misses most of the season). Do that and you lock-up your rotation early and have some prospects above "org fodder" to fill in later along with multi-role relievers (Biagini types).
