Don't understand the hate for Gose. He's a cheap, valuable player when used properly.

 

Some people forget how valuable he is because all some people remember is the bad

No hate for Gose. Just realize he is limited. He is strong defensively. But offensively even with his speed he's below average contributor. He's a 4th of not a starter on a competitive team

Wow you really have a hate hard-on for Gose. Re-evaluate That, its way too much

 

Gose is not even a viable bench player. he has speed to burn, but he makes Rajai Davis look like a rocket scientist. He was a prospect a couple years ago and now he's been around almost long enough to be called a bust. It's not a skill problem, it's all down to a lack of smarts and it's not getting better. He might not even make the team this year and he is out of options. He has zero trade value. Most teams have better options in their minor league systems, as do the jays.

how do you "properly" use a one dimensional player who falls asleep and gets picked off trying to do the one thing he is supposed to be good at?

Is this a serious reply or are you trolling for effect? Not a viable bench piece? My god

he's a horrible bat so you cant use him as a pinch hitter.

 

he's a horrible bat so you dont want him getting 3-4 AB per game

 

He's got a horrible success rate for stealing so he's a bad risk as a pinch runner

 

where would you use him? He's not the 4th best OF defender the jays have. He's fast but falls asleep way too often.

Correct. He's very possibly the best.

Him and Pompey are really undisputably the top 2.

This is probably a good signing.

 

One year, 2.5 is peanuts for a useful player, even more so for a large pocket team like the Yankees.

It looks like the Gose-lovers and Gose-haters are just going more and more extreme with their comments.

 

One example of him getting picked off doesn't justify throwing away the entire player's skill set.

 

The ability to be fast in CF is just one dimension of OF defense. Gose has an ability to track the ball, which Rajai doesn't. Rajai can use speed to make himself a passable (not great) defensive outfielder and overcome his weaknesses. Gose has the basics and can use his speed to become an elite defender.

Didn't Gibbons say the exact thing about Ryan Goins? That sure worked out

 

Pompey has shown he can hit AA/AAA pitching as a 21 year old. Goins has shown he can't really hit AA/AAA pitching at a 24-26 yo.

Yet I would still take goins in the field even with his bat for what we pay him! Then the the over payed oft hyped Reyes for what it's worth! 20 mill + better spent elsewhere for what they get or give Ya!

Pompey is a Stud!!!! Nuff said!!!! Goins bat will be average at best, Pompey can be Elite!

 

Gose is like Sierra on speed, nothing to see here! Move along! Pompey has shown a better mental approach then Gose ever will. Attitude's are night and day, one thinks he belongs the other just belongs !

Remember when Gose got Devon White comps? Is every speedy black center fielder with a glove going to be "Devon White if he can put it all together?"

 

See you soon DJ Davis and Anthony Alford

What about Aoki for LF next year. MLBTR predicting 2 year deal total of $16 mil

 

I would do that in a heartbeat & stick him in the #2 slot (#1 when Reyes hurt/day off) & stick him in left.

 

An OF of Aoki, Pompey & JB with Gose, Pillar & say Mayberry available.

 

Also sign Martin, trade Navarro & AA is left with shoring up 2nd somehow.
