The Official DFA Emilio Bonifacio Thread

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Post in this thread if you agree with DFA'ing this sack of s***.

 

Might be the only way to wipe that stupid smile off of his fat face.

 

What is the tipping point, -2 WAR? -3?

 

He's one of the least skilled ballplayers in baseball without question.

[96MPHFB-----]

Sign me up, guy is a piece of s*** at 2B.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

He's supposed to be a small-ball type of guy who can play multiple positions

 

1.) He's probably the worst bunter I have ever seen. He can barely even make contact with that stupid little chop thing that he does

2.) He is below average at literally every position he plays. Terrible arm and an iron glove

 

Yet Gibbons continues to use him as a pinch hitter in crucial situations and plays him frequently.

 

One of the worst baseball players I have ever seen.

[bzapple]

Terrible defense, no power, worse OBP than JPA...yeah, I wouldn't miss him.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

3.6% walk rate

.204/.234/.308

Some of the worst D you will ever see

 

BETTER PLAY HIM EVERYDAY

when Lawrie returns.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

So another game lost because of the incompetence of this f***ing loser.

 

This is mind blowing.

[Abomination]

Most definitely NOT in favor of this. If you can get a decent return for him (and apparently there were a few gm's drooling over him in the offseason), I'm okay with trading him. DFA'ing him, absolutely not.

[ElNik2013]

He shouldn't even be on the roster let alone playing over Kawasaki. Gibbons doesn't much care for defense it seems, I don't think the pitchers appreciate this.

[TheHurl]

so many liked him in the off season. There were a bunch of threads like this.

Marlins deal doesn't go down without him.

[deekman81]

This ship is sinking.

[Chappy]

Might as well, he is a joke and I doubt at this point he has any value.

Watch Dwayne Murphy turn him into a 40 HR hitter! #FalseHope

[havok24]

I get the feeling that this comment buys Bonifacio a significant amount of time. It would if I was the GM and said something so stupid about such a marginal player.

 

lol one of greater quotes from the AA era, when he claimed he wouldn't do the Marlins trade without the inclusion of Bonifacio.

[Dr. Dinger]

Just a f***ing terrible hitter. And somehow, a worse defender.

Boni's annoying smug demeanor is so much more irritating than JPA's misplaced arrogance IMO

[eastcoastjaysfan]

The hate. It runs through me.

 

Not even Kawasaki's off the charts adorable personality can salvage that GIF

[ElNik2013]

I have a bigger issue with management and the coaching staff for tolerating Bonifacio than I do with him and same goes with JPA

[bzapple]

I know this isn't the "Find minor positives about Emilio Bonifacio" thread, but I really have no problem with Boni's personality. Seems like a genuinely likeable guy and a good teammate.

 

He's just a terrible baseball player.

You don't have an issue with awful players saying "look at me" every time they hit a chopper through a hole? That kin of embarrasses me as a fan tbh.

Meh, I've always seen it as just having fun with the team, as opposed to arrogance. It's like that ridiculous bow and arrow thing that the Rays are always doing.

I liked Bonifacio when he came over in the trade and thought he has potential.

I still think he does, but he's been brutal this season.

I think he needs a new swing and a lot more reps defensively at any position in the minors.

I just don't think AA wants to let go of him yet, because he'll probably have to trade him once he gets claimed through DFA.

[8D]

For me, if I decided this is no longer a contending year (which I think it is),

then I wouldn't mind him on the team to try and develop him for next season.

If you still think Jays are in contending mode then he probably should be DFA'd pretty damn soon.

One half of the team is trying to keep the team afloat (Bautista, Eddy, Lind, Reyes, Rogers, Buehrle, Rasmus and the bullpen) and the rest is sinking them. AA has done a lot of stupid things and has a case of bad luck (Johnson, Morrow, Lawrie and Dickey). I think they finish around .500 and AA comes back. Strange f***ing year
