I would have had to pick up his $4.5 million contract and i want to have room to bring up Diaz in a little bit.

Just kidding around.    I love Nick, but he makes no strategic sense for this team.   What was he hitting?    That’s pretty quick for Atlanta to waive him.

He was a part-timer batting just .222 (2-for-9) when they waived him. The Braves are 20-10 and in first place so they're doing well.

Are the Jays paying him 4.5M?  WTH are they thinking?

Actually his contract was 4 million, I was mistaken, but yes, they picked that up. It appears he's going to play everyday with them.

Crazy, I would have tried to sign him on the open market and let the Braves pay him.

Jays think they are contenders?

They went out and added Ryu, Chase Anderson, and Shoemaker in the offseason.   They were trying to do SOMETHING, I guess.

They are 15-14 and in 3rd place.

Ryu has been good 4-0, 3.02
Shoemaker has been good 3-0, 2.53
Anderson has been bad so far 0-3, 6.41

The Blue Jays was starting Teoscar Hernandez in RF (.590 OPS in 116 PAs) so Markakis (.768), who is scheduled to DH every 3 games against righthanders and play every 7th game in RF could start to get more playing time.

This is a team that gave a big contract to Randal Grichuk because has some pop, but is a giant out machine (.300 OBP the last three years) including my sim year where he's seemingly done most of his damage against the Orioles.
