wow my hat is off to you and your research i agree with it 95% i am still looking for that 5% to disagree on

First of all, I just wanted to say that I absolutely love this thread. It's not exactly about news and gossip anymore but that's okay. I also wanted to say that I don't know if it's intentional or not but when we're listing our all-time Jays teams, we seem to be leaving off rent-a-players. This is a good thing, if you ask me.big dogie said:
That being said, if they weren't being left off on purpose, there are some names that should also garner some consideration. big dogie called Dave Collins the best Jay base stealer ever. I do believe the numbers support this claim but do not forget that the best base stealer of all time, Rickey Henderson, played with the Jays in 1993 I believe. In case you forgot Rickey was the greatest, just ask him and he'll tell you. Do you guys remember his on-field speech after breaking the SB record?
Also, if rent-a-players were eligible for this thead, then we MIGHT just have to bump someone like Hentgen off the starting rotation in favour of David Cone. Though again, I don't have any of his numbers in front of me, sorry.
on another topic.....
it was good to see Olerud playing first for the Red Sox
and see Pat Borders catching for the Mariners

Mark Whiten
Anyone remember Whiten's cannon of an arm from right field? He came in with monster potential (tremendous "up-side") but he never really panned out. Although, he did hammer 4 homers for St. Louis.

if lilly keeps pitching the way he has in the past 4 or 5 games and Chacin goes back to do whatever he did in the first month of the season the Jays will have 3 very decent pitchers (Halladay being the third)
Lilly was great tonight vs Baltimore, let's see how Chacin does tomorrow

well it looks like Mike Cameron or is it Floyd ??? is being shopped around in NY now is Toronto's chance to acquire a proven power and contact hitter
If things go 'bad' ...
... the Jays could become sellers ... who would be possible to go? I would figure ...
Orlando Hudson - Could put Hill or Adams at 2nd, even Menechino or McDonald as a stop gap. Teams possibly looking to upgrade include Boston, Minnesota.
Shea Hillenbrand - With Koskie @ 3rd and Hinske all but untradable in a sense that he sucks. He has no position other than DH, where they could fit anyone.
Eric Hinske - Doubt anyone wants him though.
Frank Cattalanotto - Could be a useful left handed bat on the bench for someone.
Ted Lilly - A lefty who could go 4th in a contender's rotation.
Miguel Batista - Could be a good setup man for a contender.
I'm not saying that we should trade these guys ... just looking at some options.

Jays are better off stacking up in the off-season, they wont do much this year, so I'd rather see them sell as opposed to buy...
