Breaking News: Hardcore Blue Jays Fans Lose Their Minds

Yesterday Blue Jays General Manager Alex Anthopoulos made a deal to obtain the recently acquired Anthony Gose from the Houston Astros for Blue Jays Superstar first baseman of the future Brett Wallace.

For the most part fan reaction across various Jays forums and comments sections has been a little on the extreme side.
Which is somewhat fair considering that Wallace was part of the Halladay deal, noted for his special bat and very much hyped to be our first baseman in the near future.

As for Gose this is a player that AA has been high on for a long time. They tried to make him part of the Halladay deal and have failed to acquire him in spring training and during the season.

AA has been quick to mention that Gose is "an athletic center fielder with outstanding competitiveness, makeup, leadership skills. He's someone who's in a tough league at a young age, but really a guy who is a game changer."

Something must be up with Wallace for AA to sour on him so quick. His stats in AAA Las Vegas haven't exactly been jaw dropping and he is a player that has been included in three blockbuster trades before he even hits the majors.

Gose isn't exactly lighting the world on fire either. He has 103 K's in 103 games and has been caught stealing 27 times already this year.
He is however noted for his defensive skills and his arm, which has been clocked in the high 90s off the mound.

He has been compared to both Michael Bourn and Carl Crawford already in his young career. Needless to say at the age of 18 he still has a lot of developing to do and is at least 2-3 years away from making any impact on the big league club.

I don't expect first base to remain a problem in the near future. Adam Lind has made a lot of progress in his training in first base and played first in college.

I would like to give the benefit of doubt to AA on this one. He hasn't steered us wrong yet when it comes obtaining players via trade.

The trade deadline isn't over yet either and AA might be obtaining a new first basemen of future in the next few days. Let's just hope that it isn't Mike Jacobs.
