Can Ryan Goins stick?

[Flamingweazel]

Stick to what? Double AA? He is over matched in MLB,

[eastcoastjaysfan]

BUMP

 

0-3, 3K's tonight

 

Currently sporting a .178 OPS

 

Still think he has a .300 average in that bat Seitzer/AA/Gibbons? Do the right thing and call up Kawasaki instead of this bum. His glove has to be at least 5 WAR to offset his atrocious bat.

 

It's sad that Saki is still in AAA.

 

Guy was legitimately valuable last year.

With Diaz on this team we don't need Goins as well. Agreed that Kawasaki should be on this team.

A -61 wRC+ is bad, right?

 

Considering 130 is average yeah it's pretty bad.

[Anemic0ffense]

I don't think I've ever seen one that low lol

[Anemic0ffense]

Small Sample Size guys, He hasn't been given enough time to prove himself yet. Bump this thread at the end of June

 

Sarcasm, right? Just checking because you're smarter than this. No way we can allow this to continue. Tillman isn't even that great, and he made Goins his bitch tonight. Goins cannot handle MLB pitching, and it's embarrassing that AA thought so off of a September call up last year.

If Tillman is so poor, you should probably demote the whole team.

[shortstop]

he's overmatched at the plate at this level right now...he'll be given till the end of April, perhaps Mid-May to see if he can hit at least .150...can see him go down when Reyes comes back...can Diaz play 2nd?

[P2F]

Unfortunately, Stephen Drew will not be signed regardless of how futile Ryan Goins is at the plate, as long as Maicer and Jonathan Diaz keep performing.

 

This is mostly for my own reference, as my Drew boner is getting out of hand, and I keep telling myself that he'll sign, he'll sign.

[GD]

Sarcasm, right?

 

Yes lol

 

(ECJF gonna rage)

Diaz coming up and outperforming expectations is the exact same situation as Goins last year. I don't want either of them anywhere near this team

 

Actually, Diaz is probably better considering he's a very good defender at shortstop, more valuable than at 2B.

[GD]

We could throw Spanky up to the plate with a twig and he'd definitely be better

 

ftfy

Unlike Goins, Diaz probably won't me miscast as a starter. Izturis has re-claimed the 2B role. Diaz will be a backup which is all Goins should have been.

[ElNik2013]

Another question is: Does Diaz have an option? If he does, I think they send him down. If he doesn't, I think they'll be hesitant to risk losing him.

 

I hope Izturis is in fact rebounding and it's not just a hot streak, that would be nice.

 

 

As far as Goins is concerned, we all know his bat is terrible, but I do think he's pressing and actually feel bad for him. I hope he gets a couple of hits to lift his morale.

Diaz was optioned to the minors to start the season. He's fine. They could send him down although I don't see why they would pick Goins over him at this point.

[GD]

Career 43 wRC+ on a reasonable .284 BABIP

 

Even if you regress the BABIP that can't be more than a 50 wRC+ lol

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Yeah

 

Diaz you can stay. Someone make a GIF of that play ASAP please.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

What happened

 

You didn't see what Diaz just did?

Credit to ang I think?

[flafson]

Goins had a .500 day so can't say bad things about him.

But anyway, that was a nice play, if you look at it in slow motion, i have no idea how he doesn't break his leg or something of that sort.

[The_DH]

This guy can pick it.

[Fansince77]

Diaz is playing well..nice play tonight

[Muck Bartinez]

So the first UZR update is in and has the greatest defender of all time at +0.6 runs in 82 defensive innings, bringing him to -0.3 fWAR through 13 games.

 

NO CAUSE SSS AND NEW TURF BUT LAST YEARS SSS HOLDS UP BECAUSE!!!

+8 runs over a full season, probably not enough for him to be useful.

This is kind of a serious question.... Do you think Goins did a massive fist pump when he found out Izzy was injured. I always wonder about that. There are so many guys out there whose career/life hinges on teammates getting hurt.

I feel like he'll show the proper respects and be disappointed that his teammate is injured but secretly be happy his leash will be extended. All ballplayers do this, probably.

Why should his leash be extended? When Reyes comes back, Kawasaki should stick and Goins should be demoted.

He probably waxed the steps.

I didn't say that at all lol. The fact that Maicer went down means that Goins has at least a slightly heightened chance of sticking, and he's probably secretly happy about that, as any player would be.

No. Goins is better on the field. Though I like Saki's s***** bat. When you need that ball in play... or a guy that can work a wok with shaky pitcher... Saki is your guy.
