You just know these 14 games are the prelude to him playing like Kenny Lofton for the rest of his career.

 

14 GP in KC. 8 walks, 8 for 8 on the basepaths. .404 OBP. Un-f***in-believable. You can say small sample size all you want, but he has already produced more use for KC than his time in Toronto, even if he K's in every at bat from not to the end of the season. There's got to be someone to blame for this.

I didn't understand why we dumped boni instead of rajai at this stage of the season. Rajai is a FA so you may as well get what you can for him. Boni we could have just waited until the end of the year and traded or tender him, wouldn't be a bad piece off the bench at all. Now we basically got a ptbnl and cash for rajai and bonifacio.

What what what???

 

Rajai gets on base more (recent 10 game sample size notwhithstanding), is every bit as good of a base stealer, hits lefties REALLY well, and isn't the defensive liability that Boni is in the outfield. Boni's "ability" to play 2B is meaningless cause he sucks at it.

 

We should keep Rajai for another year until we've decided if Gose is the next Otis Nixon or the next Rajai Davis.

This organization is flawed. Wrong people in management and coaching positions. It does impact the team.

 

Hard to deny this based on the talent that comes in and fails miserably, how else can you explain it other than extreme bad luck?

You think the coaching staff is responsible for the rotten 2/3 of a season Bonifacio had here?

There has to be some correlation. How many players have terrible seasons as Jays and then get traded and turn into solid contributors? I know it's a small sample size with Boni, but he's never been as bad as he was as a Jay, and he gets traded and has a good run like this? Dickey wins the Cy Young last year, gets traded to Toronto and suddenly has a 4.00+ ERA? I could go on...

 

A lot of the responsibility falls on the players themselves, but obviously coaching has an impact on the game. Otherwise we wouldn't have coaches.

Small sample size indeed, but the POS still outproduced more in those games than all of the ones with the Jays.

I would just like to say I was one of the people against the trade. I even voted in the poll that it was a bad deal. Boni has talent, he just needs to decide to use it.

After all my ranting on Travis Snider who at a point this april looked good... I will have to refrain.

 

However I will put it on record... if in September 2014 the blue jays STILL suck, and Boni is playing well in over 300 at bats or more... and the Royals are in the pennant race, and the Jays look like they'll get the 8th pick (but as ussual they will win enough in Septemeber to get 14th).

 

Then I will go as nuts as I can... and that is pretty nuts.

 

Mark your calendars. If current trends continue for one more year then in September 2014 there must be a public embarassment of Paul Beeston where he publically admits he is basically a woman (OK I shouldn't insult women by comparing them to Beeston... he will have to admit he is a retarted neutered cocker spaniel or something) and pays tribute to real men... including Gillick, Farrell and Boni among many, many others.

Don't 2nd guess now folks. Don't blame AA now.

 

Blame Boni.

 

99% of the ppl here were happy he's gone.

 

Just like how 99% of the ppl here will wish Maicer and Johnson will be gone.

 

And of course next year they will provide positive value.

Bonifacio can't play the infield, makes poor reads in the outfield, can't throw at all accurately and while blazing fast, gets poor jumps on pitchers. KC is welcome to him.

He probably never does any of this before and after the Blue Jays.

I totally agree with you. He's great guy in person as well. We met him in 2011 at Jays Camp. Posed for pictures, joked with my kid. He's the perfect 4th OF. Could the Jays ring him back 2 years 8 million?

 

We should keep Rajai for another year until we've decided if Gose is the next Otis Nixon or the next Rajai Davis.

You just know he's gonna burn the Jays in a big way somehow in the upcoming series with KC

 

Probably but doesn't mean he's going to be a world class all of a sudden.

Boni is a slap hitter who doesn't know that he's at his best when slapping hitting and even when doing that really isn't very good. The things that he can do occasionally which make him less bad, are make better contact, hit it down and walk as much as possible. All three of those things were at career lows for the Jays. He swung at 38.2% of the pitches he saw last year...48.7 while with the Jays. Boni is a stupid stupid guy...but someone should have been identifying some of these things. Not like he's going to ever be a successful guy in this league though, didn't want him here in the first place, don't care about his 8 games in KC. He also had 48 Bunts for hits over 1700 PA's with the Marlins, equaling 12% of his hits...he had 3 here.
