Why did we let this guy go?

[JSFIP]

Currently Emilio Bonifacio is in first in the entire league in WAR. We used to have him. Ahead of Mike Trout. Why did we let this guy go? His WAR is something that would be of huge value for our squad. I for one am disappointed in the management for being so shortsighted in taking Bonifacio off the roster. His WAR speaks for itself.

 

So, anyone have any theories as to why Bonifacio was let go?

[G-Snarls]

Oh boy...

1. I bet you $1,000,000 of my money vs $1,000 of your money that he won't finish the season first in WAR

 

2. Because he was f***ing terrible and was costing us games

[JSFIP]

Oh boy...

 

What's your theory? Seriously. I'm sick of excuses for AA. He needs to be held accountable for this.

[jays4life19]

lol.

[JSFIP]

lol.

 

You think it's funny that we ditched the #1 WAR in the league go? I sure don't. I take this stuff seriously. Let's all figure this out.

[jays4life19]

K. i'll bite.

 

He was traded because we would have non tendered him at the end of the season based on his f***ing terrible performance and no proven track record.

He probably won't finish there, but he's #1 and I don't think he'll drop too far. Your response only highlights the flawed shortsightedness that cause Bonifacio's exit.

Disagree. There's no way any competent GM would trade somebody who was the future league leader in WAR that easily. There's gotta be more to it.

For someone preaching small sample size, it's pretty hilarious you are using a gif of one play as your argument.

lol. It's like a week into the season?

Does that change the fact that he's the league leader?

There isn't enough bandwidth to show all the horrendous plays he made last year

 

There is no SSS for his horrendous defense. There is for his current hitting streak.

[JSFIP]

 

Great play

[jays4life19]

Yes?

 

I could find alot of s***** players who were good for 1 week of any given season?

#1 in WAR. Not sure what I'm missing here.

[G-Snarls]

I will grant that he is a tremendous base stealer. He really is.

 

But come on man, I don't even know if you're being serious here. He is not going sustain anywhere NEAR this level of hitting over the course of a whole season.

[JSFIP]

Yes?

Nope. He's still the league leader. You're wrong.

[G-Snarls]

Yes?

And great players who have a terrible week. This is ridiculous. We all celebrated when he was traded for a few hundred thousand $. Now you want us to be upset at AA for it?

So you're saying you're not at all mad that we traded away the #1 player in WAR?

Well Trout's #2. Is that all luck or no because of MUH MIKE TROUT?

[G-Snarls]

This is going nowhere good.

 

Wait till the meanies show up

If they're at all consistent, they'll support my argument. If not, I'm fully prepared to defend myself. Good luck with that though.

Well at least the Jays traded him. The Royals gave him away for free.

[jays4life19]

EE has been terrible this week. Thus, we should have cut him.....AA is an idiot for extending him.

[Caper]

If they offered Bonifacio back to us for a bag of horse s***... I don't think I would take it.

[G-Snarls]

I'm done with this one. I just...

[saskjayfan]

So you're saying you're not at all mad that we traded away the #1 player in WAR?

 

You should go to the Royals message board and see if they are mad that they gave him away for nothing.
