Fire J.P!

Nice job as a T&R writer. Cruise websites and steal other peoples stuff and call it Truth and Rumours.

One option huh? Sounds like Ricciardi.

Ummm, isn't that exactly the point?!? T&R is nothing but a collection of stories gleaned off the wire. Everything here is taken from another newspaper or website

Burnett is overrated. He has a career losing record.

Judging a pitcher by wins/losses is stupid. However, Burnett's career record is 87-76.

Burnett or Bust?

Bust.

Make it good.

We can elevate the plane of this debate by a universal deployment of the spendid device shown at the left.

fire J.P. Ricciardi!! 7 years and no playoffs you gotta wonder why the guy is still around?? now more than ever they need to dump salary and start all over again! Even if it means trading arguable the best pitcher in the Majors Roy Halliday! This guy will get you some young prospects guaranteed from almost every team in the league! If you can get anything for Vernon Wells now do it b/c he is in decline! Keep Marcum and Mc Gowan! Dont even bother chasing the Red Sox, Yankees and Rays with this team.. it's too late!!

Hate when they actually do their job!

i think everyone here doesn't know what they are talking about. Trading Halladay will just mean we are giving up on the next like 5 seasons. Halladay and Wells are the franchise for years to come. Anyone who thinks Wells is in decline didn't watch this season because if Wells played the whole season he would have had MVP numbers (based on his numbers if he played all 162 games). They need to trade Ryan and Overbay for prospects. Accardo can close for us while having League as our set-up man. And i think they can turn
Snider into a first baseman based on his build and keep Lind in left and just look for a DH through free agency...Bullpen is awesome and signing a descent man to the rotation will be fine. If we make all of those changes, I'm not saying we will win the division or anything, but we will put up a fight that's for sure. Go after Orlando Cabrera and Lowe and you got yourself a playoff team

Burnett, finger and all, should remember his numerous visits to DL, soft injuries that a halliday would pitch through. The blue jays knew going in what they were getting, so he has a better than average year, now he wants the money. Was 12 mil not enough for the first 2 years with the jays for doing nothing. With Burnett, 3rd place, without him probably 4th. At least we will not hold our breath every pitch, to see if he is walking off with the trainer for a revisit to the DL. The players in all sports want money, jumbotron and adulation, ahead of team. Now that Halliday is Jays pitcher of year, Burnett must be really peaved.

Wow you are a stupid Jays fan. you are chirping people saying they didn't watch this season when its quite obvious you have no clue about this team. yes trading Ryan and Overbay would be a good idea but moving Snider to first base based only on his build is retarded. he is by far much much better than Lind will ever be as an outfielder. then we don't sign a short stop we already have the best defensive shortstop in the game in Johnny Mac then you should sign someone like a Pedro Martinez to be our 3rd or 4th starter then you might have a play off team.
