Indians Nearing Deal With David Cooper

He deserve his own thread

WS for Indians is a given now.

I can't believe he's apparently getting a major league deal.

[Maine Jays]

Another wonderful pick from the JP administration. Making Gord Ash look competent since 2002.

[Brenner]

This guy can hit, too bad he is such a terrible athlete. Without speed or power the bat has no where to play. If we could give his bat to Gose he'd be a HoF.

[flafson]

How come he isn't coming back to us? That doesn't make any sense.

[NorthOf49]

??? We released him , he was free to sign with any team

And we're full at 1B/DH (esp. since Cooper bats left like Lind, no platoon here). Indians makes a lot of sense.

The way that AA explained it back then (if i recall) is that we released him for his own good so hopefully if/when he's healthy he can come back.

Why would you release someone so he can sign elsewhere?

I imagine because they didn't want to pay for his treatments. I remember Hayhurst commended the Blue Jays for not releasing him when he got injured so he didn't have to pay for the treatments to get him healthy. I don't know if it's the same situation but that's what I'd guess.

I think everyone was told at the time that Cooper's injuries would end his career.

David Cooper - has a couple good seasons in PCL and people think he's this great hitter?.... the f***

Not sure it's possible to make Gord Ash look competent.

 

Pretty much the only thing that Ash did well was drafting.

[Boxcar]

.800 OPS floor.

AS long as the chinless-wonder never plays in a Blue Jays uniform again.

[AdamGreenwood]

Cooper's gonna make it back and become an every day player.

[Caper]

I will never forget when some idiot fan yelled David Cooper likes it in the Pooper and Cooper starred directly at me for a good 7 seconds because I happened to be standing up at the time.

 

hahahahahahaha....... that is funny.

[TheHurl]

he had less than a 15% K rate in a Jays uniform...that equals never striking out in an Indians uniform.
