Adam Lind Could Be Traded

[John_Havok]

I would like him back on this team, but only if we get a lefty smasher to platoon with him.

 

Chris Young would fit that description, plus he can play all the OF positions and will be relatively cheap-ish.

Young or Guiterrez . Not sure who comes cheaper but fills the 4th OF position plus insurance foe Melky .

You mean a Righty ?

Lol took that the wrong way.

[gruber92]

If they trade lind I could see them going after loney, which I wouldn't mind.

 

I can totally see this. I think Melky 's health is a huge concern and cannot be counted on. Lind will be packaged for a starter and Loney will be signed, a Seitzer kind of guy.

 

EE DH' s 75% of the time, with Loney 's GG defense at first.

[Atothe]

James Loney's career wRC+ is 105, and Steamer has him at 100 next year. TB is going to let this guy go for a reason.

 

 

He plays first base, even if they trade lind we still got the corpse of melky cabrera coming back. No room

Agree

 

Need a RHB not another L.

[Atothe]

As does every team, Loney sucks balls. Those numbers would look good for a MIF with some speed.

 

Bam! what you described is what the jays need badly

[Atothe]

Profar......hahaha!!

 

we were campaigning to trade jose for profar since the start of last before he got hurt for a second consecutive season.

Are you aware of righty/lefty splits?

 

Are you aware you're arguing with Dogg?

[GD]

Forget about splits.

 

lol

Bottom line.. Loney is a. 300 hitter and is a tough out. I prefer Loney ' s bat over Lind' s and Melky ' s and we get GG defense at first, that's huge. Trading Lind for other needs and signing Loney improves the team guaranteed. Let's not get to caught up in Streamer projections.

[Candy Maldonado]

Forget about splits.

 

The mans a loser. Is that not enough. Bautista should be DH going forward with choo in right field

 

That is if this franchise wants to win

Adam Dunn .238 Avg >>>>>>Ichiro .320 avg

Pretty sure that James Loney has never won a gold glove or hit .300 in a full season... not that any of those things would even matter lol

not sure where he was digging up those numbers, but I felt all last season that Loney would be a good option FA to play 1st and give the jays a good OBP guy who gets it. not like "guys who get it" are easy to find in the jays present numbers.

[o2cui2i]

A few things

 

1. Being a "0.300 hitter and tough out" does not matter if you have a league-average bat and play 1B. You're still inadequate.

 

2.

Adam Lind career wRC+ = 108

James Loney = 105

Adam Lind's projected wRC+ according to Steamer = 115

James Loney = 100

 

There's no evidence at all that Loney is better

 

3. James Loney's defense is worth like 1-5 runs over a full season. That doesn't make up for a league-average bat.

 

at least Loney wont be walking around like a pregnant woman if he has to play first base 2 days in a row.

Yep Linds back is big question mark.

[o2cui2i]

back, brain, glove... cant hit lefties, other than that he's solid.

$$$$

[o2cui2i]

C'MON MAN............

 

 

 

cap filler

 

but it's true. Lind cant play more than a couple games at first before he has back spasms, stomach strain, brain dead... he's a liability at best.

[gruber92]

Nit pick much? He's a career .285 hitter and hit .299 last year. His bat is not a prototypical one at first,but if there is enough power in the rest of the line up,he's a good fit. The only reason his career average isn't higher is because the Dodgers tried to turn him into a hitter that he is simply is not and was glad to gtfo of there. He hits a lot of doubles and has a high baseball IQ,just the type of infusion this team needs. He's a top five glove at first easily. So tell me again what doesn't matter.

[Laika]

Sure. Gold gloves and batting average.

 

James Loney is a terrible idea, sorry. They'd be buying high on a guy who will be vastly overrated in free agency and projects to be a below average first baseman, all things considered. An Adam Lind platoon would be a much, much better idea.

[FireAlexAnthopoulos]

I really don't understand why everyone thinks the Jays won't sign a big free agent they used to do this all the time. I'd say at least 60% chance the Jays sign at least one big free agent and our team will be noticeably better on paper going into next season.

You are an extreme homer. Stop living in the 1990's and wake up to the reality that this franchise is the joke of the league right now.

[gruber92]

What I was getting at is that they know better than to pay sticker price on a 1-win player after an anomalous year. Let Amaros and gruber92s of the set that cash on fire.

 

Loney can probably be had for 2/$6mil type deal and we lose what,-3 on wRC+? IMO,that's value. The $4mil saved can go elsewhere,like maybe signing Ruiz?

[gruber92]

Sure. Gold gloves and batting average.

 

You're a stooge.
