Good read. It was also Reyes who ended the Jays 10 game winning streak when we it felt like they were going to keep winning forever

 

Yep, rest of the team and the other team had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Bottom of the ninth

2 outs

No one on

 

Reyes throws a simple grounder away

 

And yet, if the Jays were winning by 20 already, that wouldn't have mattered...

 

One play does not a game make.

All winter we have been complaining about needing a 2nd baseman.

I reality, we should have been seeking a shortstop, and preparing to move Reyes to 2B.

They didn't talk at all about Reyes' jumps, which is the main reason. Lawrie starts moving immediately at contact and Reyes doesn't move until the ball is past the mound.

 

I would rather keep Reyes at SS though. I'd rather have a decent arm at SS with no range, his arm is wasted at 2B.

 

Yeah everyone says move him to 2B but I almost think 3B or the OF would be a better move for him.

Yeah, if Reyes moves anywhere it should be 3B, but obviously with Donaldson here, that won't (and shouldn't) happen. I'd rather have Travis at 2B for the next six years than Reyes in his declining years, too.

 

Put him at short and hope his bat keeps making up for his D. Or trade him to San Diego, the one team that might actually take him.

One of my favorite sports GIF's of all time

Now picture Ortiz running behind him on this play and falling on top of him.

I know very little about defensive metrics, so I'd appreciate your opinion on this. What do you think about this guy's comment on that same article?

I'll admit that I haven't heard much mention of this DRA metric before.

High money, low produshowwnn

 

Do you really think he'll get high money at this point, with other relievers and current/former closers available. Its a buyers market. What do you think he ends up getting?

3-4M is a lot of money.

I'm excited to see the new guys we got, but after years of trying to have an optimistic outlook at the beginning of the past seasons, this season all I can notice are the holes. The outfield and middle infield will be terrible to watch once the inevitable injuries start to hit us. Past years I would just decide to be really optimistic on guys like Travis saving us, but it never happens. I expect Pompey to also start off very poorly. We still haven't had a prospect in a very, very long time that has come up and shown he can consistently hit. Seriously, Adam Lind is about the last decent hitting player I remember coming through our system.

AA was about to throw 2M at a minor league deal. If you were to ask me who I would rather have on this team between Navarro and Chamberlain, id rather have the reliever.

I'd definitely throw 3-4 M at Joba, and I assume AA would too if there was cash available.

The reports on Joba a while ago was that he had multiple offers this offseason, but didn't want to play in those cities. I have to think we might have been one of them.

you'd think a guy like Joba would jump at that kind of offer, but some guys just think there is a better offer in a town they want to play in. Question might be if AA will go back and make another offer once ST starts. If he still hasn't signed in a couple weeks he might have to take what's offered
