Great move
- Canada Cup

Especially considering Lawrie is made of glass. I live in Langley and have watched him grow up and play. Loved his enthusiasm.

But his health and the fact that he often showed TOO much emotion is why im alright with this trade.

He was my favorite player, Likely because of his birth city than anything. You know, Im a little bias.

regardless. Welcome Mr Donaldson

GO JAYS GO

It must be black friday because the Jays got one hell of a deal

Really hope we can sign Melky . We need him back.

I read he has no interest in signing because of the turf.

Seriously, Will the Jays ever freakin go to real grass. Its caused so many injuries.

I played my first ball game on turf 4 months ago. Screwed up my back and missed a month of ball.

yup...(frank)ing pissed. I don't know much about Donaldson, but I heard he's a really good hitter.

This is a great deal for the jays. As far as im concerned any knowledgeable blue jay fan is glad to see him go

Donaldson brings it every night. A take no prisoners, get your jersey dirty type player

Plays a great third base and carries a stick.

Need to get a left handed bat.

Cant wait to see JD hit in a hitters park. 35-40 is within range.

What a trade!

I got the chance to play on tge same ball field against lawrie when he was on team BC... Guy is good. A little too 'pretty' for me but thats all good

I busted my foot rounding a left tackle on the turf. I didn't miss any games though. I'm just hard like that and willing to play with pain for my team.

what did you do to your back?

Injury resulting from a strained vagina.



Mornin'


(Hi Vancity )

Morning, my Leafy friends.

Flyers fans want to buy out Lecavalier.

So he'd be paid by two teams to not play.

1st world problems!

Not gonna lie to you: when he was bought out by Tampa, I thought he would be a perfect fit for Toronto.

Yup. Oilers won, either 2-1 or 3-2 if I recall.

Melky won't be back, he's already said the jays aren't on the top of list cause of the turf

The jays paid a steep steep price but got the best player in the deal. Giving up Barreto was foolish.

The rover in front of me should have had an easy grounder, I was playing left field. Ball went right through him, I wasnt expecting it and when I turn to run after the ball, I tried to spinmy cleets and run. Which would have worked on real grass.

My feet essentially stuck to the ground and I pulled a few muscles in my lower back.

Its been and ongoing health problem ever since. Pain comes back out of nowhere all the time.

Time to bust out the heat pad!

waiting on an 18 year old ss for 5 years to develop though?
the jays got a very good player..the top 5 in the order looks great.. still holes to fill other places of course

At first I was like WTF? ..but having time to think and read some reviews of the trade.. sounds like the right move for this team

No I understand, but in the meantime we are stuck with Reyes for the next 4-5 years.
