I don't know if anyone has thought about this...its kind of outside of the box thinking on my part, but...maybe the Jays shouldve upgraded their rotation in the offseason??

Pffft, don't be silly...

[gruber92]

I'll never understand why batters try to stretch a double into a triple with two out when there is no play at the plate. So f***ing ignorant,you're in scoring position already stupid.

[Angrioter]

If Ben Revere takes one of your fastball into the wall, then you're s***.

Sorry about that. I know its an extreme idea. I hope I didnt offend anyone.

Lawrie just missed that one, he's not happy about it either.

[G-Snarls]

Lawrie F bomb on contact

[gruber92]

This is only the second game I got to watch this Spring because I'm normally working. My job got canceled due to freezing rain so this is really a bonus. I can't wait for the night games.

 

As for Goins I'm going to have to keep watching but he doesn't stand out for me yet. He looks good but not great and he can't hit.

 

He's defense is a guarantee. IMO, he's a top 5 defensive second baseman.

[G-Snarls]

Sorry about that. I know its an extreme idea. I hope I didnt offend anyone.

 

The better strategy is obviously to keep a bunch of borderline/fringe starter guys around and ask the fanbase who should get the starting jobs. Get with the times, man.

[TBJ12]

Do we really need to see Happ pitch another inning? Just send him to the dl or dfa please.

[G-Snarls]

He's defense is a guarantee. IMO, he's a top 5 defensive second baseman.

 

Yeah I don't like the idea of him as our #1 guy at 2B but I can't argue with that. He was SUPER slick last year. But he is probably a black hole in the 8 or 9 spot of the lineup.

FTFY

 

happy happy cap filler

[Rotator]

His defense can only help this pitching rotation.

[TBJ12]

I think we need a larger sample before we go putting a "top 5 defensive second baseman" label on him.

[gruber92]

He'll hit ninth for sure,he's got decent speed. That should help him see some early count fastballs.He just needs to learn and recognize and maybe,just maybe, he'll be an average bat.

[Sammy225]

Redmond is just sitting back and smiling. Which I have no problem at all with.

[gruber92]

f*** i'm getting a bad feeling we see Happ in the rotation with Redmond as a long man.

[G-Snarls]

He'll hit ninth for sure,he's got decent speed. That should help him see some early count fastballs.He just needs to learn and recognize and maybe,just maybe, he'll be an average bat.

 

Does he have baserunning speed? I'm honestly asking cause I haven't seen. If so, then yes cause Navarro sure doesn't.

[G-Snarls]

IMO the known is his bat. 70 wRC+ if he gets lucky. The unknown is the D. If it's generational, then he'd be a serviceable player. If it's only top 5, he's not good enough overall.

 

Meanwhile the Red Sox have f'n Pedroia who does it all. Must be nice.

[KingKat]

Redmond is just sitting back and smiling. Which I have no problem at all with.

 

Yeah that's fine but Happ is still 6th on the depth chart right now. Happ will be needed and he will walk guys because he always has. Somedays he will dance around those walks and some days will be uggly.

[gruber92]

Yeah he has base running speed. He doesn't possess that first step base stealing type speed though.

[G-Snarls]

Different IF shift this time

 

Lawrie visibly confused with his instructions to play near the 2B bag

[G-Snarls]

And the shift costs them there

 

Bloop sing;le and Byrd goes first to third

[bowld]

Happ DFA

[gruber92]

Good, i jinxed Happ. Oh the reverse vibes work well.
