Reyes pulled yesterday because of 'minor' tight left hamstring; Gibbons: "Day to day"

[G-Snarls]

Love Google image search

[G-Snarls]

Nah, The Four Horseman is better. Mechanix has like no structure

 

Plus that was 20 f'n years ago. How many good-great songs do Megadeth really have? 5-10 at most. Metallica 30+ easily.

[Angrioter]

I can't wait for our Goins-Izturis opening day middle infield. Lawrie probably misses some games while Reyes is recovering in April/May, so we should get some Kawasaki-Goins-Izturis infield action.

 

Sierra 1B?

[G-Snarls]

I've never really enjoyed Megadeth. I can't stand Dave Mustaine, both as a person and vocalist.

 

Oh the vocals are atrocious. Just painful. Angrioter is FOS. Some of the songs rock (Angry Again, Psychotron, Peace Sells) but the vocals are just cringeworthy.

 

I have seen both in concert at various times through career

[G-Snarls]

Sierra 1B?

 

Just to complete the infield s*** show, yes, let's presume that happens once this year

[Angrioter]

An infield of Kawasaki-Goins-Izturis-Sierra would probably be my favourite thing ever. I hope it happens, just as ammo for ridiculing AA.

 

against Price, Matt Moore, CC and Lester

s*** show? But, but, Harold Reynolds says Sierra is on the track to becoming a star. lol. Also Greg Amsinger says he a STUD!

Too bad we lost Arencibia lol the potential of s*** would have been through the roof

[DH12]

here we go again with Reyes. He's made of fine China. Wait until he gets on that unforgiving rogers center turf.

As much as I want to watch him, I sort of hope they don't play him in Montreal

Thank you mods for merging the pointless thread

Thank you mods for merging the pointless thread

 

It won't be the last I'm sure

 

It's "catch and release" season in Major League Baseball

[G-Snarls]

Errr... Release and catch season would be more accurate.

[jays_fever]

Does Dh12 honestly still post here..and can people stop quoting him. I completely forgot all about that idiot until now

[eastcoastjaysfan]

So..... Is he gonna be ready for Opening Day?

[Doc]

So AA's motto for the year of everyone being healthy they will contend have a feeling isn't going to work out.

The difference between Arencibia and Navarro offensively is not that much. Arencibia has more power. Navarro strikes out less.

 

Both have shown quite capable of putting up sub mendoza lines in 400 plate appearances. Both have career OPS in the .670 range.

 

I agree with the Navarro move because it is one of those small moves that pushes the team on base percentage in the right direction. Sometimes when players are bad the difference between historically bad, and just bad gets lost, but can be dramatic. So I think Navarro/Thole/Kratz spotted right could push the catcher obp up by 70 points. Which would make me happy.

 

But

 

a) don't discount the possibility Navarro lays an absolute egg on an Arencibia level. He's done it before.

don't discount the possibility that the Jays don't adjust to Navarro's poor play (by giving Kratz/Thole more time) and let him rack up 400+ horrid plate appearances.

c) don't discount the possibility that Arencibia spotted 300 plate appearnaces in the right situation in a good organization puts up a .250 .300 .450 line.

There is literally about a 1% chance Arencibia ever has a .300 OBP season in his career.

JPA has NEVER come close to a .300 OBP in his career. I don't care if he goes to the f***ing TBAY Rays that guy will not learn to lay off pitches.

[GD]

"not that much" Yeah only about 40% lmao

[Olerud363]

"not that much" Yeah only about 40% lmao

 

40%?? Based on what?

 

Arencibia's career OPS is .666. Navaro's .683. wOBA+ Arencibia is 76%, Navarro is 83.

 

Last year Navaro destroyed Arencibia. But Navaro's worst wOBA (2009) was worse then Arencibia 2013.

 

Navrro 2013 WAY better then Arencibia 2013,.

Navarro career offense a bit better but not that different then Arencibia career offense.

 

Chances Navarro lays an Arencibia like egg? Greater then people assume. He has allready done it on multiple occasions.

 

What part of that is so objectional??

[GD]

40%?? Based on what?

 

Their Oliver projections are a 44% difference in wRC+.

 

However, that was unfair, considering that it IS Oliver. Steamer has them at a 20% difference, and ZiPS at a 19% difference.

 

But, then again, our very own Chris Carruthers has them at a 39% difference. So, it's very reasonable to say there's between a 19% and 39%, with 44% being an unlikely but possible difference. So yes, Olerud, the differences between them ARE that big.

[Horses Fart]

Just on The Fan that Reyes will indeed have an MRI on the hammy! Here we go.........going to be a long summah!

[BlueJayWay]

Yep MRI coming up for Reyes. He says he still hopes to start on Opening Day, but being this is the Jays, I'm already kinda thinking at least late April/early May.

[GD]

Lmao.

83 is an appreciably better career wRC+ than 76 btw. Navarro has produced 9.2% more runs than JPA has per PA in his career. That's a real difference.

 

ZiPS and Steamer averaged have Navarro at a 98 wRC+ in 2014, and JPA at 80.5. Again, a big difference. A sizable upgrade.

[G-Snarls]

Tuiasosopo leading off today

 

No, I'm serious

[Horses Fart]

What a f***in joke this club has become. All jokes aside its so frustrating to be a jays fan. :-(

Good grief.
