Anthopoulos on Kevin Pillar

[Angrioter]

#Bluejays Anthopoulos on OF prospect Kevin Pillar: "The reports are he's ready to come up if we ever had a need. He's playing that well."

[BabbaGanoush]

There will be a need if Lind goes on the dl. Put him at lf/dh

[John_Havok]

Only problem is they'd have to make room on the 40 man roster.

 

Maybe DFA one of the Buffalo relievers ...

[flafson]

We should really put him on the 40, otherwise someone might steal him.

[Laika]

They can do that? Just STEAL HIM!?!? WHENEVER THEY WANT??????????????????

[flafson]

Rule 5 draft, as long as the team who takes him put him on the 25 roster for don't remember how many years, they can.

So if he's MLB ready, why wouldn't someone bet on him?

Not whenever they want. Only in Rule V draft that takes place in December. Any guys with a few years of minor league experience and not on the 40 man can be drafted (can't remember exact years, differs for highschool and college draftees I believe).

 

Catch is player has to be kept in the majors all the next year. Or be offerred back to the other team.

 

If he is put on the 40 man then has to be removed for some reason another team can grab him then.

Well then FFS drop a bullpen arm and call him up

 

I don't want to go day after day after day with Lind and Edwin on the bench unable to play but not bad enough for the DL

 

He will find playing time

[HERPDERP]

Rajai leaves for free agency

Melky gets traded

Gose becomes left fielder

Pillar becomes platfoom left fielder or 4th outfielder

Pitching is a bigger problem for us right now, keep those 8 arms.

Except, there are now 9...

[flafson]

1 of them is the roving starter so it doesn't really count.

[BabbaGanoush]

AA just trying to hype him up the same way he did with Nestor Molina.

[ElNik2013]

I'd like to hear Anthopoulos on Syndergaard.

[Atothe]

He really is smh lol

[Caper]

I'd like to hear Anthopoulos on Syndergaard.

 

Why?

[AdamGreenwood]

"AA just trying to hype him up the same way he did with Nestor Molina."

 

This is probably true. AA doesn't care about outfielders who aren't 5-tool natural athletes.

He's probably trying to set up Pillar for a trade to acquire a failed middle reliever who throws 95 MPH or a 5-tool guy hitting under .150

[ElNik2013]

Why?

 

 

 

Just want to know if he's aware of what Syndergaard's doing.

[G-Snarls]

Pat Gillick taught him to not worry about the prospects you trade away...

ALA Delabar for Thames

You should hope they do very, very well... that's about it.
