gashouser27 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 $55 million for Burnett..The Jays must have some money..Is that the best way to spend it?I am kind of glad the Cardinals backed off..They need more than another 15-15 pitcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amare32 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 According to this, the Cardinals seem to be in the running for A.J. Burnett. This would be huge if they could get it done.Full Story Well well well, let the bidding war begin! very nice, may the best man win.. Who do you like the next 5 years?Toronto: Roy Halladay, AJ Burnett, BJ Ryan, Vernon Wells, Josh Towers, Alexis RiosSt. Lous: Albert Pujols, Chris Carpenter, Scott Rolen*, Jason Isringhausen, Mark Mulder, Jim EdmondsI think the Cardinals are a better team even if Toronto nabs both those arms. The Jays would have to land that and a fearsome bat to even be in the question. If I were Burnett, for comparable money I'd sign in the STL.We know the American dollar is worth more. Well, for an extra $15M, I'd join the Jays, too. I hear Toronto is lovely in the summertime.Congrats to our Canadian friends. Now go get yourselves a slugger!

HatCityEnforcer Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Burnett's a great pickup for the Jays...suddenly, they have a pretty solid staff (Halladay-Burnett-Lilly-Chacin-?) a halfway decent pen anchored by Ryan and a somewhat solid lineup...All the Jays need is another bat. Lyle Overbay and/or Kevin Mench anyone?So far, if ya ask me...the Jays and Mets look to be this year's big winners in the off-season so far. FANTASY TEAMSHousatonic U.

Camden Crazy Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 If I was Miguel Tejada, I'd demand a trade and give Peter Angelos a big :censored: You on the way out. I know I'll be following him wherever he goes. What kinds of prick does Angelos think he is, promising to contend next year and letting all of these players slip by them. SELL.

The rotation is as good as any outside of Houston, but that's a lot of "ifs" on offense. Good pitching is tougher to get, tho, so they've done well. Let's see if they win any other prizes at the winter meetings.BTW, Javy Vazquez is still available. We'll soon learn what Josh Byrnes is made of.

I agree that Angelos is a horrible owner and has destroyed the team. But I don't think we can blame him for not signing anyone. It is hard to sign top players when you have had 8 straight losing seasons. Also the offseason is far from over. There could be a big signing or trade during the winter meetings. Not everyone has signed. I hear Ramon Hernandez is still very close to signing with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone has signed. I hear Ramon Hernandez is still very close to signing with us. As though Angelos didn't have a hand in those 8 losing seasons.I lived in DC from 1998 until 2001. I strongly resented the Orioles' claim that DC was "their market." It would have been less offensive had the O's put a quality team on the field, but we were stuck following mediocre-to-poor ballclubs. Angelos's own mismanagement was a huge part of that.I'm back in Phoenix now, but I cheer the arrival of the Washington Nationals and the liberation of DC from the clutches of Angelos. Hurrah!

Cujo Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Sweet, the Jays still getting ignored... So I'll update y'all with the happenings of baseballs forgotten team (best non-new york/boston team in the AL East 7 of the last 8 seasons!).A.J. Burnett was spotted at a Raptors game with Roy Halladay the other day.B.J. Ryan (who apparently only the Yanks are interested in) is supposed to be in Toronto touring the city.Brian Giles and Mike Piazza are both supposedly very interested in coming to Toronto.I would be shocked if Toronto aquired any of those guys you just listed, but good luck anyways. *coughs* Consider me shocked.
