dont cut him
if the jays are looking for a top prospect in return for either Scott downs or Jason Frasor, package him in to get that prospect
Encarnacion's Parrot
Adding Overbay with Downs or Frasor would almost certainly negate whatever trade value they have. Anthopolous should just cut ties with Overbay once Wallace has no chance in becoming a Super Two candidate and move on.
Yeah, because that’s the only way to trade guys after the trade deadline.

the jays are surely just waiting to make sure that wallace has no chance of being a super 2, and in the mean time when snider is off the dl i would play batista at 1st.

I hope the Jays call up Wallace once there is no chance of him being a super two. I doubt Wallace would do any worse than Overbay and I always enjoy seeing the young guys getting a chance.
I would guess the Jays would have to release Overbay, despite the large number of idiotic GM’s in baseball I’m sure none would be willing to trade for him.
I know that Wallace is raking, but Alex said the plan was to keep him in AAA the whole time. I wonder if he’ll stick to the plan.

Jays have bigger problem coming up with Synder almost ready. What to do with E.E and baustia(my spelling is brutal). Synder needs to play so who sits? I think you have to play baustia at 1st and put synder in the field. Lyle is down in the lineup and almost out the door.
I would rather see them move Encarnacion to first. Bautista is a much better fielder at third, and I think Encarnacion actually played a little first base in Cinci.

I agree, Bautista is way better at 3rd. But I do fear E.E’s defense, and he will have considerable more action at 1st.

E.E. is actually not that bad on defence. If you look st it statistically, most of his errors are throwing ones. He actually has a pretty good glove, its just throwing

Releasing Overbay would be a mistake. Thins are going very right for the Jays right now and that would create a negative atmosphere in the clubhouse.
Trade him, even if it means picking up his entire contract and only getting a Grade D prospect (which it would). It might just FEEL different to the team.

Overbay has an .800+ OPS after his horrible 2 week stint to open April. I don’t think releasing him would benefit the Jays offense at all.
