Former and now current Jay Darrin Mastroianni has been claimed off waivers by the Blue Jays from the Twins. He's been sent to AAA Buffalo for the time being. Makes you wonder whether Sierra's days are numbered, especially if the Jays decide to promote Gose.

 

OF Kenny Wilson was DFAd in a corresponding move. He'll likely clear, as his AA numbers have been terrible (.210/.239/.306, 18/0 K/BB ratio).

Mastroianni is better than Moises Sierra or Anthony Gose by almost any measure.

 

Pros for Sierra:

 

- More raw and game power than Gose or Mastro

- RHB is better than LHB Gose given Jays' current roster construction

 

Pros for Gose:

 

- Tools; upside

- More defense than Mastro (presumably, but this isn't known)

- Youngest and had best minor league age vs. level

- Slightly more SB volume than Mastro in minors

 

Pros for Mastro:

 

- Best hitter for AVG and OBP in the minors of the trio

- Best BB and K rates in minors of the trio

- SB volume in minors very close to Gose (222 in 603 G vs. 253 in 629)

- Much better SB% than Gose in minors (87% vs. 73%)

- More defense than Sierra, and at least similar defense to Gose

- RHB better than LHB Gose for Jays current roster

 

f*** scouts!!!

Mastro for 4th OF!

Also, Mastro is white and as we all know, the Blue Jays could benefit from a bit less ethnic diversity in the clubhouse.

I remember back in 2010ish I kept trying to convince myself that Darin Mastroianni was our version of Brett Gardner. High OBP, lots of speed, plays CF. What could possibly go wrong!

 

Two straight years of almost .400 OBP ball in the minors and he turns into a complete pumpkin. Come on baseball gods give us a break.

But Sierra "No Position, No Bat, No IQ, All Arm" is still on the team!!

 

He does show some flashes but definitely no IQ.

I'm the ******* that bought into the Moises Sierra's 2009 season in AA and JP Arencibia's power. I should be reprimanded

Weird. Seems like he's been around forever.

 

Twins chose to take Mastro off their 40 man for Sam Fuld which is why he was on waivers, but once a guy is added to the 40 man he gets three option years, so it looks like Mastro is in his third and final option year right now.

Franklin's not getting traded. In fact, he'll be likely starting at SS soon with Brad Miller continuing to stink up in Seattle (.187, 23/2 K/BB ratio.) Those numbers would get you demoted to AAA, where Miller belongs right now.
