Pretty much what I expected. Hope they told him to work on his bunting and reading pitchers moves. guy has to get bunt singles and steal bases to get on the plus side of WAR.

It's only for 2 weeks anyway, since he'll be back up when the rosters expand. Getting him the everyday at bats in between is probably a good idea.

[SantosLHalper21]

He'll be back in September... Sadly our backup outfielders are now Reimold and Tolleson. There goes all the defence and speed that was in Toronto's lineup. No late inning defensive replacement, no late inning pinch runner. Again, this move makes me question the Jays decision making.

pfft... no big deal, Stroman can pinch run.

[Daniel Labude]

Its total bull that we have to sit through more crap from Rasmus while Gose goes back to AAA

[bendera3]

I honestly can't keep up with all these moves. I feel like I have to check every day to see who is a Blue Jay today.

[gruber92]

It should have been Tolleson, Gose is too valuable in this stretch run.

Now confirmed official by Davidi/Jays

mostly Gose needs to get over himself. if he had been a team guy he would have understood where his value is by now. Gose has lots of talent, but just isn't smart enough to use his own skills to create himself a spot. with his speed he should have learned how to bunt as a teenager, but he still thinks he's a power threat and has not made the adjustment since getting drafted, which means he probably wont.

I think we all know Gose needs to get better at bunting, but it's not like even a great bunter is suddenly going to start getting multiple bunt hits every week. The best modern era season total is 29 by Brett Butler in 1992 with a 57% success rate.

it's not just the lack of success bunting, its also when he is choosing to take long power swings. his ego is writing checks his body cant cash... to steal a phrase. lol

 

he needs to learn how to deal with being pitched away and recognize breaking balls. not trying to pull the ball would be a step in the right direction. committing too early with a long swing is killing him.

 

that all said... he has been better this year.

You, or he'll be flying cargo planes full of rubber dog s*** out of Hong Kong.... To steal a phrase

I think Gose can be another Gomez type player. Carlos scuffled with the bat his first few years in the league. He will never win a batting championship but has developed into an all-star, Gold Glove, 25hr/40sb centerfielder. If they give him the chance.

You seriously think goes will break 15 HR's a year? I'd be surprised if he broke 10

[GNick49]

Like I originally said...he reminds me of Carlos Gomez. Gomez never hit over 8 a season until his 4th year in league. Now he's hit over 20hr a season for last 3 years. Gose hit 16hr one year in minors. Yes, I see a little power potential there. Gose one of those types who seems to be evolving his game.

That's crazy talk

[Chappy]

Gose will be lucky to be a league average bat. His value will be his D and his speed on the bases. He should be good enough to be our primary CF for the next few years (preferably in a platoon).

[jaysfan2014]

At least he hits enough that he can play regularly, and is not a liability like Jackie Bradley Jr. of the Red Sox, whose lack of offense is going to hurt any chance of him being a regular unless he changes his swing.

JBJ - True talent 82 wRC+

Gose - True talent 81 wRC+

 

Additionally, JBJ projected to save 3 times as many runs on defense as Gose. You're really, really bad at this.

Why do you bother? You know just as well as anyone else it's High.

Can explain to me what this thing adds to this board? Obviously the mods have decided that he's worth keeping around and I would love to hear the rationale behind that.

That might be useful if Twitter didn't exist.

[Jim_Ackers_balls]

I bet Gibbons isn't happy. He loves having Gose defense. AA must have over ruled him. Our backup CF is now Bautista again.

 

Bautista can't even play RF anymore.

[burlingtonbandit]

Bautista can't even play RF anymore.

 

What? He is still an average RF...

Nothing that we haven't thought about, in terms of the Jays signing Rusney. What was sad reading this is that we all know that the Jays wont sign the guy. We cant have nice things.
