Reyes... I hate him.

Gibbons will be the first to go if this team struggles.

 

it amazes me that he's still here...I never understood it, just accepted it

[Angrioter]

Changes the month to "February" and add "pat_borders" to the list. #FlawlessVistory.

Whatever happened to Pat Borders anyway, the guy just kind of went MIA

There is always someone to blame. Goins will be in the minors; Saunders and Reyes on the DL, and you can't blame Gibbons for have a below replacement level team on the field.

 

add AA and Rogers to the list.

 

Dickey

AA

Rogers

Mayas

Dominicans

He played baseball until he died of old age.

He has 8 kids...he's long dead inside. I actually read something recently about how his kids are all done baseball now so he took a job as a minor league manager.

Goins

 

I don't get the Goins votes. If Goins is playing, the anger will/should be displaced to anyone who is responsible for writing his name on the lineup card or the guy responsible for not putting someone better on the 25 man. Expectations of Goins should be so low now that you can't be angry that 80% of the time he's making outs.

I am pumped for opening day ! cant wait

[TheHurl]

and OP (Borders) the guys are right. Keep the new threads to a minimum. Most times you can find a spot on another thread. That's not to say don't start new threads. Just think about them before doing so.

 

Moderation duties done!

I like this thread actually

 

It's usually a surprise, so hard to answer. LOL

[G-Snarls]

I'm gonna say Dickey unfortunately. I don't think he'll be terrible all spring, but a few bad starts in a month look awfully bad on him somehow. It's just that his bad games look sooooo bad. The home runs, the walks, his body language, etc...

[Deadpool]

Gibbons is easily the best manager this team has had in years... So... y'know...

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

The Leafs!

[Deadpool]

I can agree w/ this. In other words he's better than Gaston and Farrell.

 

That was what I meant...

[TheHurl]

Reyes has provided 5.4 WAR in 1074 PA and projects for 3.0 this year. He's so bad I hate him!!!!!

 

and he's had very little love over those 2 years so I don't expect that to change if the Jays are struggling at points this season. I will say that he is one of those guys you watch and think "how are his defensive metrics just below average" as he looks much worse than that. Still, he doesn't deserve any s*** he takes from Jays fans.

Reyes has earned his keep so far, but I think a lot concern lies with what could happen if he slows up a bit.

[GD]

He's like a 7M/WAR player. His contract is probably in line with his worth.

Not as long as Gruber is pimping every groundball single he hits in the GDTs

yeah Dickey's body language is bad when things aren't going well for him ... has "the look of defeat" on his face ... also some fans don't like that the team has been carrying a light hitting personal catcher for somebody who's not an ace.

Look of defeat and like he's mad and "how did that happen" incredulity at times

he has slowed up, have you not been watching him?

I thought I'd love watching him, but I really, really don't. It's just so ugly when things go wrong - people start laying off the knuckler, the walks start, and then Dickey goes back in the zone and gets taken deep. He gets that stupid defeated "how could this happen to me" look on his face, and leaves the game with 3 ER in 6 innings after cruising through 5. I appreciate the overall contribution, but watching him pitch is tough.
