Official: Goins optioned to AAA, Getz called up, Storey released

[Laika]

Keith Law disagrees

 

If our definition of a prospect is, "might be a reliever for some other team five years from now", then yeah, sure. He's a fine prospect!

[GD]

1) not it's not. Fangraphs.com, bro.

2) WAR is descriptive, not predictive.

3) it makes a lot sense if the organization thinks that Goins can fix his bat a bit with a trip to Buffalo

 

gg

 

Wait, people use BR-WAR?

[theblujay]

Getz has 1.2 fWAR in his career which is probably more than Goins will ever even dream of so

 

Lol Goins PA per WAR is 623

 

Getz's is 1,288.

 

lol

[Slot Machine]

i wonder if alex is embarrassed about assembling a "contending" team with no second baseman? I mean, he literally just decided his team didn't need a 2b.

 

lol.

[gruber92]

Not at his current level

 

Ha. Don't even go to a place where you say he is an average MLB defender.

Yo bro I'm on fangraphs right now and it is.

 

Doesn't matter that WAR isn't predictive. Goins has a better WAR/PA

[theblujay]

He's delusional

You're wrong

My bad, not sure why I read 0.0 for Goins. Must have looked at his projections or something.

 

2) That sentence is ridiculous

[Candy Maldonado]

Everybody calm down. Temporary move with the LHP ahead,reason for Kawasaki not being called instead of Getz. Management obviously has no trust in Diaz's bat,especially that late inning pinch hit disaster when he didn't even take the bat off his shoulders with a man on third with less than two out and watching three hittable pitches go by.

 

If AA has no plans on re calling Goins later this week, then he has plans in signing Drew. Either way, i'm happy.

 

There is zero chance that Getz and Diaz stay on the roster long term, ZERO.

 

Maybe Getz is able to make contact on hit and runs unlike somebody else.

[gruber92]

the blujay schooling GD hard.

 

It's ok bro.

Isn't Getz a lefty bat?

I've yet to find anything that points to Getz being better than Goins based on production in their careers so far. With the obvious upside going to Goins and his sub-.200 BABIP

[GD]

Lol Goins PA per WAR is 623

 

Getz's is 1,288.

 

lol

 

If you regress his defense to above average like it probably is over a large enough sample size then I'm fairly sure it's more balanced

 

Ha. Don't even go to a place where you say he is an average MLB defender.

 

I know your IQ matches the number in your username and all but this isn't what I was saying and also your dumn

[G-Snarls]

Well, so much for that

 

Goins got a nice long look between 2013 and 2014

[gruber92]

Maybe Getz is able to make contact on hit and runs unlike somebody else.

 

Lame. If you were watching, those botched hit and runs were on pitches WAY out of the strike zone. Just stop.

[GD]

It's ok bro.

 

Replacement level is 0.7 WAR, right? And average wRC+ is 130?

[gruber92]

Sure we can regress his D a bit, but he's on the same pace he was last year, almost a third of a season. But lets regress that bat too up to the 60 wRC+.

 

Let's say for your sake their equal. Then at best this a lateral move with no purpose. At worst we miss the off chance Goins improves with the bat and becomes valuable because of his D.

[G-Snarls]

Guys, who honestly gives a s***? Both players suck. Who cares if one is projected to suck a fraction of a **** hair less than the other?

 

Precisely

 

Sign Drew June 3 pls

[G-Snarls]

I can't believe no one has started a "Can Chris Getz" stick thread yet

There's nothing else to talk about

I don't think Getz is better, I just think they're both AAA quality players. Both of them blow.

 

Goins pros:

 

- 2B defense is great

- He's got that half-black Derek Jeter thing going on

- Name is easily turned into witty newspaper headlines and radio calls if he ever turns into a clutch HR hitter (longshot)

 

Getz pros:

 

- Experience

- Better speed

- Much better swing

- higher floor with bat

- Good white boi

- Named Chris

Someone do the WAR calculation on a 60 wRC+ and ~7.5 UZR with negative baserunning and 600 PA?

[theblujay]

Cuz he can't

[Candy Maldonado]

I'm holding out for an Aaron Hill trade.

[theblujay]

IDK UZR well but he's already past 8 in these 50 games. 33/150 so I think it would be higher than 7.5

[theblujay]

Actually he's above 30 UZR/150 for 2B and SS
