Rajai Davis close to signing 2-year contract with Tigers

[Angrioter]

[G-Snarls]

Good for him

[G-Snarls]

Is their new manager smart enough to avoid playing him full time??

[Ehjays]

He only got two years? And you think he's playin fulltime for the Tigers? I doubt it

[G-Snarls]

This inexplicably made me laugh out loud:

 

[G-Snarls]

Fine, we'll settle for Choo, then, since we "missed out" on Rajai

[Ehjays]

I admit I'll miss Rajai a little tiny bit

 

What a base stealer

One of baseball's best 4th outfielders.

Boras?

[Ehjays]

Tigers swooped in and grabbed Davis once they saw Eric Thames had been signed by a team in Korea. LOL

I'll miss him, great option vs leftys and unbelievable speed.

I'll miss him as well, but not his defence

[eastcoastjaysfan]

When used properly Davis is an incredibly dangerous weapon. 45 SB in only 360 PA last year!

[G-Snarls]

One of baseball's best 4th outfielders.

 

Yup, he really is

[HERPDERP]

Rajai's best blue jay moment:

[Ehjays]

That was a great catch.

[Ehjays]

Thing is, the next play he would drop a routine fly ball. thats what pissed me off with his defence

[Sammy225]

He is a beast against lefties he is a great platoon guy to have on the bench. I will miss him pinch running off of the bench.

[flafson]

Looks like it's a done deal, Rajai is a Tiger. All the best to him.

[GeorgiaPeach]

Their new LF?

 

Jackson

Kinsler

Cabrera

Martinez

Hunter

Avila

Castellanos

Davis

Iglesias

 

Platoon with Dirks?

I thought 4th OF'ers were adept at fielding?

 

One very nice catch doesn't wash away all the poor routes, reads on balls, hotdogging it, when he really shouldn't be and a weak arm.

[Angrioter]

Rajai is a smart dude, I'll miss him alot

Well when I think of a 4th outfielder, I don't look at the guy strictly for defense. Rajai is OK in that regard.

 

Thing is, Rajai can hit and steal, and he's an excellent option off the bench. That alone saves us another roster spot since he can do a lot late in the game.

 

If I had to choose between a GG-calibre 4th outfielder that can't hit and steal bases and an average 4th outfielder that can hit and steal, I'll take the latter.

[G-Snarls]

9-10M over two years is being reported

[G-Snarls]

You'll be disappointed to hear then that we instead now have the former

 

(edit just noticed the can't steal part doesn't apply to Gose but still...)

Bwahahaha, a classic.

 

The best part is " I just found out about that"

 

Uh, ya. The guy talking to you just told you, you stupid f***.

[G-Snarls]

Though base stealing is a skill

 

Gose could outrun Davis in a 100 yard dash, but he is not (yet) nearly as skilled a base stealer

[BlueJayWay]

Two years 10 mil

 

Lol Davis is making as much as a high end NHL player

 

Well MLB operates on a much higher economic level. But yeah, it's kind of funny.
