R.I.P. Jose Reyes sucks at baseball thread

[flafson]

Reyes is still trending this morning. Man people are hating on him lol.

 

He should at least donate his remaining salary so we could find some pitching.

[homerbush]

I've been neutral towards Reyes all year, until 2 nights ago, i officially hate him now

Better late than never.

I don't understand what Goins' role is now on this team.

 

If Gibbons can't see the logic behind using him as a late inning defensive replacement to Reyes, he serves only as an injury back up. He's the best defensive infielder on this team while we have a guy who prays every inning for the ball not to be hit to him. It's just a matter of time until it happens again.

That's what puzzles me. If Goins is on the team, why the heck is he not a late inning defensive replacement? What's his purpose otherwise?

[Mikeleelop]

Reyes on the leader board among SS:

 

13th wrc+

12th wOBA

17th OBP

11th SLG

15th Def WAR

11th Off WAR

16th WAR

23rd BB%

25th K%

9th Avg

 

That is horrendous.

 

actually it is right around average..

Smoak should be late inning replacement against LHP and start every game against a RHP

 

Goins should play 7th inning on with a lead.

 

Narvarro should be tied to the buffet in the clubhouse.

$22M for right around average =/

average is the new elite... elite is the new super elite or as we call it #fysmc

His approach is like a drunk softball player

[burlingtonbandit]

wRC+ of 84 on the season. Kinda scary how bad he is now.

[LTR]

It's funny that people are finally admitting to just how bad Reyes has become.

He might be below replacement from here on out.

People were going after him all last summer as well (and I'm sure before that too), but ok sure let's go with this narrative.

Lead off man with a .299 on base percentage

Awful. His bat is even crap now.....to go along with his defense he is a major liability.

Come one, come all. All are welcome here!

He's always been an liability,how come it's taken so long for so many to finally realize this?

Not true. There was a time his bat and speed were good enough to overcome shoddy d. He has gotten worse every season with the jays.

[Atothe]

So what are you guys gonna do when he goes on his eventual hot streak and becomes an above average hitter again?

Nothing? He would still be a liability. Average bat poor D is not hard to find.

I guess some of us have more insight of what is really going on.

Both Steamer and ZiPS project him as below average.

Well you clearly don't.

[polar bear]

Well you clearly don't.

 

Forget about the occasional hot streaks,his defense alone,has always been way below average.

Hence a huge liability to the team.

I never once said I was only talking about his time here. Once his d was tolerable because his bat and speed were elite

By all accounts his defense was already on the wane before we acquired him.

What's your point? Never said it wasn't.

Hello!! Wake up Poon, my point is, he,s been a defensive liability from day one with the Jays.
