2011 Blue Jays/MLB Thread

Why wouldn't these guys take a video of the guy stealing signs? It amazes me that we haven't seen video evidence of this claim by now and because of the lack of it, it makes me question their claims.

Jays lost to the Angels last night, 5-1.  It was an emotional Wells, receiving a standing ovation from the Jays' faithful....


The former Blue Jays star stepped back and raised his helmet in acknowledgment as he made his first plate appearance in Toronto in another team's uniform.

"I just tried to hold back the emotion in that moment," Wells said.... It's just a moment I'll never forget."

I (like a lot of fans) was hard on Wells towards the end too but with that said, a standing "O" is well deserved. - I missed this one... I would have liked to have seen that. 
 
Cecil gives up a 2-run shot in the first. Pretty much all his pitches to that point had been up in the strike zone so it wasn't a surprise to me that he got rocked. The last out was better, keeping the ball down, so here's hoping he settles down.
 
Jays win today 5-4 over the Angels.  Edwin Encarnacion singled in the 10th inning for the winning run.  Prior to that, Brett Lawrie doubled in the ninth to tie the game.

John Rauch got the win.

Rajal Davis of the Blue Jays pulled a hamstring in the game, and was placed on the 15-day disabled list.  Call-up Mike McCoy is his replacement.

I heard it was a torn hamstring.....

It will be interesting to see if Beede signs before tomorrow by midnight.
 
Love the new blood with Rasmus and Lawrie.... I hope it leads to better things... I am hopefully optimistic

Yes, it was a torn left hamstring.
 
With only minutes remaining before the signing deadline for players taken in the 2011 MLB draft, I'd like to, once again, express my disdain for the current system.

Could change... But hopefully not to the extent where we miss compinsation if it comes down to that of course.

There's a good chance compensation for free agents will be gone after this winter, which kinda sucks, as taking advantage of appears to be a favoured tactic of AA, but, at the same time, in a way, punishes teams like the BoSox and Yankees a little more, as they tend to have more Type A guys. I just really think the whole slotting system is a joke - no one seems to pay attention to it. Hard slotting or a rookie cap is the way to go, and the signing deadline shoudl really be extended - I'd give teams until 48 hours before the next draft or something like that instead of the 2 and a half months they get to sign 50 rounds of picks.
 
Lawrie just homered to put the Jays up 5-4, in front of 50 or so family/friends in Seattle.

EDIT: And I would have posted this earlier if it didn't stop my post because someone else had posted again.  Rage. >:(

Yeah, I don't get it either... and I do hope compensatipon remains.

Looks like the Jays missed out on Beede, but managed to sign Norris. At least they got one of the two.

Actually, it looks like we didn't sign Comer either who, like Norris, was the other unsigned sandwich pick. All in all, still not a bad haul at the draft.... Now let's see how they do...

Edit: Pardon me... Norris was a second rounder, Comer was a sammy.
