What about the sure to be declining STH's over the next few years?

My dad is a STH and they usually chartered a plane for STH to go to the first spring training game in Dunedin and gave a free box to STH. They took both of those away this year, which is insane.

my Dad has shared seasons tickets with a few of his friends since day 1 (always good seats- 12 rows back of the Jays dugout @ the Skydome) (My dad now gets the most tickets, but they are in his friend's name. My dad has never heard of this chartered plane thing tho, and he's sure he would have had his friend been going to Florida each year.

League was never going to live up to his potential. I'm OK with this trade.

Yeah, League was the real life Rick Vaughn.

League would be great every 3rd or 4th appearance and it would be easy to tell after 3 or 4 pitches if he had his control. When League was on he was one of the most unhittable pitchers in baseball. Problem was ~75% of the time last year he couldn't locate at all and walked batter after batter and then threw a fastball up over the middle and it would be taken for a 3run HR.

Apparently, this is the prospect we gave up in the Morrow deal. Looks like he's got power.

Can someone who does that even make it to the majors? I have to think that MLB pitchers would make quick work of him.

Ya, that's my point. He is so young so he can obviously develop, but the guy you don't want on your team is the Jose Canseco type who will destroy weak pitchers, but get completely pwned by good ones. This guy seemed to be getting owned too often by lower A pitching for him to turn out good in the MLB.
I think the .290 hitter that hits .330 against awful pitching, .300 against mediocre pitching and .260 against great pitching is so much more valuable than the .300 hitter that hits .400 against awful pitching .280 against mediocre and .180 against great pitching. This prospect just seems like another Josh Phelps, but at a much lower level.

Great move if this is true. I'll just crib Dave Cameron's take on Chavez:

"Chavez is Toronto’s version of Greg Halman – toolsy RH outfielder with power and terrible plate discipline, hit well repeating low-A ball as a 20-year-old last year. Upside, sure, but a long way from the majors and lots of flaws."

Brandon League kinda sucked, but who's gonna check George Posada next time he gets out of line?

I'm fine with us shipping League to Seattle. It's been pretty clear that he's never going to materialize into the big-league closer that everone was hoping he would.

Firework explodes near infielder's face

Quote:

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Edwin Encarnacion was released Saturday from a Miami hospital after being treated for minor facial injuries caused by fireworks during the New Year's festivities in his native Dominican Republic.

Let's hope it's a career-ending injury.

Also, doesn't the DR have hospitals? Why was he flown to Miami?
