Toronto Blue Jays Talk

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah!

The Yanks will do whatever they have to to get Lee now. Joy.

I hope he sticks with the Rangers, he is a greaft fit on that team...although I wouldn't mind him going to the Yanks, it would just add to the rivalry.

As for Boston,

Crawford-Ellsbury/Cameron-Drew
Youkilis-Scutaro-Pedroia-Gonzalez
Salty-Varitek

Beckett
Lester
Buchholz
Lackey
Dice-K


Mmmm I like...I still hope they can woo Russell Martin to sign in Beantown, he would be a big upgrade to Salty.

and how could I forget my boy Big Papi as DH! Wow!

as jawal mentioned earlier, the Sox are also on the verge of signing Scott Downs for some bullpen help.

The Jays won't lie down for anyone, that much you can count on. The Yanks and the Sox look awesome, the Orioles are trying to buy their way out of suckland and the Rays are obviously still really strong. Tough year coming for everyone - but probably mostly the Jays and Orioles again.

Man, Crawford will get a lot of triples if he hits well into the 420 triangle in centrefield at Fenway...I like this signing for the Sox also because they don't have to see Crawford steal 5 bases a game against them

I was wrong on this prediction. Downs signs 3 years $15 million with the Angels.

Damn...well I hope the Sox can still get Russell Martin. Apparently they're the favourite.

Wow, Halladay and Lee back together.

Screw the Yanks, they got what they deserve! That's for spitting on Lee's wife during the playoffs!

Yeah, looks like the Yanks will be buried by the Sox.

They were never together before.....but my god, the phillies did a number. Give them the series already!

can you imagine...the phillies had cliff lee, traded him and got assets in return (albeit not the variety they gave up to get halladay but some amount of offset) and then sign him long-term a year later with Halladay.

I mean, HOLY COW!!!!!!

I forgot that they have Oswalt too.

Halladay-Lee-Oswalt-Hamels-ball boy/hot dog vendor, it doesn't matter who the 5th starter is lol

FWIW their #5 is Joe Blanton, but he's rumoured to be headed out of town (being clearly under-utilized in Philly)
