I don't disagree with this. Lawrie could out play Reyes at Shortstop.

 

There are a lot of players who could out play Reyes. He's been putrid this year. he's only laid out for a ball a couple times and NEVER comes up with it. reyes is one of few starting SS that make Jeter look good. that takes effort.

His 2014 UZR is terrible though: -6.2 which puts him at 105 out of 108 SS.

 

A win is a win is a win. His defense is obviously terrible, we knew that when we got him. Fact is, he's a slightly above average SS that is more than slightly overpaid. He has not been terrible like o2cui2i said.

Defensive WAR kinda falls flat when it comes to the Jays shift IMO. Lawrie being the most obvious example. That said, I agree he is not the worst SS in the league. Lawrie, Goins and Kawasaki could all out play him though.

Tolleson could go down but he has had some success against lefties. Goins is really the guy that doesn't fit. Kawasaki has out performed him.

 

sending Kawasaki down would show how f***ing clueless AA really is. Goins has had some good AB lately but Kawa is the better player.

Kawasaki would be a good bench player on any team. He might lose to Goins defense and that would be a mistake. Kawasaki looks fine at second base.

 

Goins "might" get better getting regular AB in AAA.

 

Kawasaki is a player who can sit a couple games and come into a game knowing what he is supposed to do. Pinch hit, pinch run, defensive replacement, sac bunt, fake steal.... lol perfect bench guy and something the jays really need.

I,m not sure if Kawasaki is better at 2nd or short,but they should not send him down.

He`s had some good games for us,and plays his heart out for us.

The only time they should even consider sending him down is when we are at full health,and even then strong a case could be made for him staying.

I like how they say Lind could come back in 2-3 weeks. Looks like it will be right around 4-6 weeks like we all thought in the beginning. Its obviously better than the 6-8 weeks the first doctor said but I feel like they said 2-3 weeks just to make the fans feel better.

How could you not get those comments? He missed 6 weeks in the middle of the season, and then they bring him back after only 3 games in A ball on a rehab assignment. Whether it's an upgrade or not is kinda the point. The fact that they're so desperate for an upgrade over what they have, that they're willing to rush someone up from a rehab assignment, rather than let them get their ABs and get their timing and comfort level back as one would normally suspect.

 

it's mid season...he's missed 6 weeks. He played 3 games. Kendry's Morales signed june. He didn't have a training camp. He played zero games in the minors. He was in the big league starting lineup right away.

 

Bringing Lawrie back is common sense...I hate extended stretches for players in the minors. If he's healthy, he's healthy. It's been just under 6 weeks since his injury...He should be in the bigs after 3 rehab games and he is.

I could be wrong but calling someone a "dink" does not seem like a bannable offense.

 

It is when you're a repeat offender like you who has done it 100 times before

That's nonsense and you know it. You should ease up on your power hungry trigger finger, it won't make the rest of your life any better.

 

No, it just keeps the board more usable/readable

 

Knock it off

You sure this is CHP...there isn't a full novel being posted

 

New account immediately targetting Moogy = suspicious

 

Regarless he's spamming the board with crap and deserved banning. Clearly not a legitimate new poster.

I'd rather the mods be too harsh in banning trolls than too light. That said, obviously not a troll.
