Blue Jays unveil 2015 Opening Day 25-Man Roster

[Abomination]

I am definitely not happy that Sanchez sucked. I want him to be really good. He just isn't yet.

 

I really think he'll be okay this year. I have no doubts that there will be the odd game like today though.

[G-Snarls]

Reyes doesn't look that scary

 

Only Edwin really does

 

Who is the artist???

[GD]

Is that an official thing?

Assuming you're not a pitcher, it doesn't really work.

Somehow Gibbons will force a s***** hitter between them. Why can't Bautista hit second, He gets more AB's and OBP is his specialty.

[ElNik2013]

You're right. But there is still the problem of AA caring too much about losing s*** players with no options left

 

I would swear I saw some here bitching about Drabek being gone.

The impact on run expectancy between an optimal lineup and whatever Gibbons throws out there is practically non-existent. It's a non-issue.

[Atothe]

If Pompey and travis are above average then this is the best lineup in baseball. IF*****

I just watched the interview with Travis...kid is pumped. Made the team and is approaching his first ever major league game, which will be opening day at Yankee stadium. That's pretty cool.

I disagree. Discounting sequencing, The more PA's you give to better hitters the more value they can have. It may be a small difference, but it would exist.

Josh Donaldson seems like a bit of a douchebag in real life.

as long as he hits 35 bombs this year, I could care less how much of a douchebag he is!

[Angrioter]

I don't buy into that, his career clutch rating is -0.91. But he's still an above average back-up catcher. We don't need a defensive specialist, we already have one.

 

...and now you're smart.

 

AJ Jimenez deserve that spot.

[LTR]

No more than Lawrie, that's for certain.

Why?

[TwistedLogic]

I agree, I'm just mentioning it now, because I know it's gonna be such a f***ing thing if he struggles at any point. I don't care how he is as long as he isn't a complete media disaster like an Everth Cabrera, and we know Donaldson isn't that. That won't stop people from complaining about it like they do about Bautista.

[Dick_Pole]

Law's arrogance will be his downfall.

 

Just like those on here that so confidently dismiss Sanchez.

 

Really? That seems excessive. No one who is "confidently dismissing" Sanchez on this message board is going to have a downfall, unless they mortgaged their house betting against him in some sort of prop bet.

[Orgfiller]

If Pompey and travis are above average then this is the best lineup in baseball. IF*****

 

They don't even have to be that good, if they're both around league average the lineup should still be elite. That top 5 is dangerous.

[reedjohnsonfan]

I like Navarro if he's only used for pinch-hitting and catching Buehrle. He was so clutch last year.

 

Lol and you flame me for saying Cashman is a good GM yet you like Navarro because he was clutch last year. Wow.

[Dick_Pole]

Josh Donaldson seems like a bit of a douchebag in real life.

 

LOL as if the faux hawk and occasional mullet didn't give that away...at least he doesn't have Colby hair.

Shots fired.

Aside from being a bit on the redneck side what part of his personality suggests he might be a douchebag?

[Dick_Pole]

8-man bullpen seems idiotic...until we recall what happened early last year. But I expect/hope they get it back down to seven once things have settled down and the pitchers who are in the current spots they are in either prove they can handle those spots or are replaced with pitchers who can.

[TwistedLogic]

Why?

 

Just a bunch of little things. The whole Beane thing in Oakland, the way he talks on Twitter, the fact that he posts pictures without crediting the artists, the fact that he seems to be a huge Conor McGregor fan, the fact that he posted that cringey Fear the North picture, I don't know, just a whole lot of insignificant little things. It doesn't really bother me, I just feel like it might become a thing the way everyone seems to think Bautista's a douche just because he loses his s*** in games sometimes.

No you get flamed because you're dumb enough to think my comment was serious.

That poster makes it look like they have more cooking spray on their faces than an egg omlette.

So he's a douchebag because he enjoys another sport and does a bit of trash talking for the side he supports?

He is a bro that's for sure.

I don't know what is serious, I don't read every post religiously. For all I know that post was serious and now you're backtracking, I have no clue what to believe with these posters anymore.
