Thanks for the DL memories. Thanks for your sterling contribution to the team.
I loved having you on our team, but in the end I realized I loved the idea rather than the reality of having you on our team. Nice to see you contributing to another team (in a spring training game), and good to see you've re-discovered the competitive fire that you were seldom able to display here because you were broken all the time. I was going to wish you well, but you spat on my team today, and you spat on the fans of this team across Canada, so get stuffed...

I feel your pain. If there's any justice here, the Yanks will release Flopsbury, the Jays will sign him, and he'll rediscover the fine art of playing baseball on something other than a PlayStation 4.
He'd actually be a great fit for the Jays, if he could stay healthy for more than twenty seconds, that is. Ellsbury's skill set is exactly what teams who played on turf used to look for back in the day: Speed & gap power.
Oh well. What can you do? As Captain Quint would say: "Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women."
