For those that didn't know, Lawrie injured his leg on a slide that looked rather painful, and the official update is 'day to day.' Let's hope that isn't Blue Jays talk for 'career over.'

 

That doesn't sound bad, but given how the Jays have underestimated injuries this year, a 15 day DL stint seems likely. Short bench again for a few games.

People seem to forget just how f***ing horrible Edwin was at 3B.

 

Bautista is the clear option for a full time fill-in, but I dont know if Gibby will risk getting him injured again.

jose to third

 

Last time that happened, he hurt his back & was out for several games.

 

I think it's Derosa at 3B for now. I think Izturis can also play 3B.

Can Negrych play 3B?

 

I don't think he has the arm... from what I hear.... I was thinking the same thing.

Lawrie is so injury prone. He runs like a cement head out of control. We better get used to the idea of him being on the DL on a regular basis. Too bad the guy has no brain, he has so much talent.

Again, the lack of fundamental skills shining through for the Jays.

 

Can't properly slide. Zero understanding of situational baseball. Also throw in that inexplicable slow-down at 2nd base yesterday when Bonifacio doubled down the RF line (he could've possibly scored).

 

This is a blessing in disguise. His glove will be missed, but it'll be refreshing to see someone with their head in the game actually playing.

The Mariners just sent Ackley down.

 

Could Lawrie be next? I honestly wouldn't mind it. He's needs a reality check.

 

Over his last 500 PA

 

.254/.311/.411

 

Aw jeez

 

Poor plate discipline

 

Poor self control

 

Unrefined swing

 

Very little extra base power

 

Yeah he's just not getting it done at the plate. His defense is the only reason he's an acceptable MLB player right now.
