Kansas City not able to hold on to its superstar...that's weird.

Is this why Toronto traded Marcum? That deal made no sense to me.

They couldn't extend his contract so they felt they needed to move him to get something back.

Got ya. Thanks.

I figured it had to be contract related, not necessarily baseball related.

Marcum had two more years at a reasonable price. This was about getting a part for the future....not about a contract.

This makes sense for Toronto, pair him with Drabek (if he pans out) in a few years and could have a formidable top of the rotation... that being if playing more games in NY and Boston doesn't send Greinke all the way to the looney bin this time.

Said it before and i'll say it again, giving Drabek should be an absolute non-starter for the Jays. Period. If they don't want something else, move on.

"Are the Blue Jays willing to surrender minor-league pitcher Kyle Drabek and outfielder Travis Snider as part of a potential package?"...

Greinke is a head case and can't handle NY or BOS pressure & scrutiny. 2 types of players......the ones who can handle NY/BOS and the ones who can't. He can't.

I thought it was just NY, Boston has had players go there and not be able to handle the media etc? Just out of curiosity, who?

Please go to Toronto Zach...then I won't have to hear another damn thing about you ever again. Well, other than reports of "he kinda kept to himself" and "he was always staring at people and writing in his little notebook" and the proverbial "12 ga shells were scattered about the apartment"

any team that could put runs up would be a good fit. He lost a ton of games giving up 1,2,3 runs. Toronto definitely has the offense to help him, I think the Yankees should go after him and save money on the Lee sweepstakes.

Seems wasteful as the Yankees already have a man who folds into the fetal position on the mound. His name?

AJ Burnett

wow, bravo. Youre making it sound like every team doesnt have players like him? Anywho which one of these horrid teams do you root for? Because let me tell you bro, one way or another these teams will continue being buttom dwellers from years to come....even if ALL of them somehow turn into all stars. I think thats a MUCHH sadder reality.

What color is the sky in your world?

Humor, it was a funny comment.

AJ has been a big let down, it is OK to say it...

Just a question...

Is the NHL over, or do you love NH? I can't quite figure it out.

As an aside, I don't think the Jays should give up much for Greinke and certainly not Drabek. They are probably tempted, that way they can say "Look, we lost Halladay, but we ended up getting another Ace for him in the long run so it's a wash." Sorry, won't fool me.
