Love him. Let’s just take a minute to appreciate the elegance of his name.

AGREED… Great Name

He reminds me of a wrestler with the same last name that is not even with us anymore…

Theres really nothing wrong with this gamble.
Edubray Ramos, Hector Neris, Joaquin Benoit, Jeanmar Gomez, Pat Neshek, Joely Rodriguez and one of Appel/Asher/Sevy Gonzalez isn’t a bad bullpen. If you ignore the last two months of Gomez season, he was a real good reliever
Diablo 2
Ignore? That’s funny. Lets just ignore every players worst months. Every player now seems like a real good player.
Brixton
Hes like the 6th most important reliever they have, hes almost a nonfaxtor

what gamble, it’s a one year deal

Benoit’s a good addition if they do it. Travis Wood would be a good signing to have 2 lefties in the pen, including one veteran.
I would welcome a complete audition for the closer’s role in ’17 since no one under contract is a sure thing.
Doc Halladay
I was really hoping he’d come back to TO.

Same here. But then I think that bridge was burned. He blamed the Jays for the injury and then one would assume the front office were none too impressed with him coming out and lambasting everyone in the media about it afterwards.
patborders92
Yeah he through his team under the bus, douchebag comments
stormie
Meh, the price was too high for a 39-year-old coming off an injury and not that great a season (sure he was great with the Jays, but his overall numbers were still his worst in some time: 3.90 FIP and 1.27 WHIP). Can’t blame them for passing even if they did have interest.
Doc Halladay
Yeah seeing the price being $7.5 million, I would have passed on that too.
ronan
Agreed. (Jays fan here). Our bullpen needs a lot of help. I’m terrified. Lol.
