Izturis to 60 day is probably best

Obvious candidate. And he can play 3rd too BTW, in case Lawrie needs a day off. Decent walk numbers, good HR power, low average, though..

No he can't.

[fatcowxlive]

No he can't.

 

He's the second coming of E5 I tell you!!!

 

I am first on the Juan Fransisco bandwagon, anyone else joining in?

The #bluejays flying @lamelaza_7 in to play shortstop tomorrow, meaning one of three middle INF will go. Will likely DL Adam Lind.

[jaysfan2014]

Yes he can, as he played 3B in Milwaukee and Atlanta. But he'll probably be a DH/1B here.

Edwin Encarnacion and Carlos Santana have also played 3B. Eric Thames and Moises Sierra play in the OF.

I play third base too, but neither of us should be doing it in the majors.

[fatcowxlive]

No. Your last bandwagon was Nelson Cruz. You've lost bandwagon privileges.

 

Moises "Nelson Cruz" Sierra was my first and only bandwagon though D:

Just an fyi, aside from his rookie year Edwin never struck out more than 20% of the time, and walks at a career 10.1% pace. In 771 PA, Francisco's respective K and walk rates are 33% and 7%. But sure, second coming.

Way to kill my vibe! Regardless second coming, he'll find his groove and he'll be EE with the same raw power and worse discipline.

 

Shall I say that he's, EE lite?

Being Dominican and having power doesn't automatically make you "EE lite."

Mark Reynolds lite at best.

I made a post about this years ago (http://www.forums.mlb.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?nav=messages&webtag=ml-bluejays&tid=82691):

 

Both from the DR

Both started and dumped from the Cincy org

Both are butchers at 3B, moved to 1B and experimented at LF

Both have raw power for days

 

I'm on to something I tell ya!

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Let's see what he's got. Decent splits against RHP. Maybe we get lucky and he hits a few dingers.

[Orgfiller]

All hail Lord Hutch!

 

Ok...

 

Wrong thread bud?

[Angrioter]

Juan Francisco is the best hitter in the Dominican winter ball.

!!! Didn't he murder the ball down there? What was his final statline?

Home run king

[eastcoastjaysfan]

As long as he never plays defense and never hits against LHP I'm fine with this for the next two weeks.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Liam Hendriks with 8K/0BB in Buffalo tonight. Great start to the year for him.

Yeah I mean for a starter going down he's not the worst replacement to have. The difference between him and Lind for two weeks is negligible.

Sounds like a plan

[Angrioter]

Reyes and Francisco (Malditos latinos) up; Diaz AA and Lind DL

[Angrioter]

Barry Davis ‏@SNBarryDavis 38s

Kawasaki goes down for Reyes. Izturis moved to 60 day DL. #bluejays

[Angrioter]

Adam Lind to the DL. Kawasaki optioned to Buffalo. Reyes activated. Juan Francisco promoted. Izturis to the 60 day DL.

[S33n]

f***ing stupid.

[fatcowxlive]

AA's a f***ing moron
