General Jays Discussion 2015

[guylaroche5]

would a jose reyes hair discussion warrant its own thread?

would a jose reyes hair discussion warrant its own thread?

 

Player quirks that deserve their own threads:

 

Reyes' hair

Bautista's scowl

Edwin's parrot

Pillar's nose

Sanchez's ears

Donaldson's cock

And here I thought they all looked painfully lame

I think Justin Smoak f***ed Gibby's wife or something....Navarro at DH today.

 

not that. he texted dick pics to gibbys daughter. knew it had to be something. seriously though "showcasing" Navarro makes no sense when the more he plays the worse he looks.

 

When Edwin dove and missed the ball on 1st on a play Smoak makes yesterday I winced as his shoulder is still bugging him. I hope we see Smoak there today.

Most of them do (even the make it rain one)

 

but the Stroman one and Osuna one are pretty good. Not sure why there isn't one for Edwin's parrot.

Not sure what hurts worse out of that, you had to pay full price for a terrible shirt...or you have to wear a terrible shirt.

Yep it defies logic. Edwin is injured and sucks defensively. Navarro historically cannot hit rhp at all. Smoak is better against rhp and is the best defensive first base option on the team. I mean, would any other manager in baseball play Navarro at DH in this situation?

Morosi tweets that with Matt Moore back, the rays clear favourites to win the division.

 

1. Schedule is ridiculously tough coming up

2. Matt Moore isn't even good and is coming off Tommy John

 

Thus...

 

Morosi is dum

 

I can't stand Morosi. I think he's probably the worst baseball writer out there - his twitter account is particularly bad.

And for what it's worth, fangraphs ranks the odds to win the division as follows:

 

1. Yankees

2. Jays

3. Orioles

4. Rays

That's pretty fair. Although the top 3 could go in any order. The Rays I don't see making it... if the Rays have a bad stretch, their ownership WILL be selling heavily at the deadline, especially considering their attendance is running below expectations, making it difficult for them to be close to break-even, even with TV money and revenue sharing. Plus, there's the issue with the stadium...

Clear favourites? lol no. Can see them winning it but clear favourites is silly.

Very dumb. Morosi forgot to realize that Moore isn't actually that great, being extremely wild (see his 2013 numbers). It's uncertain what the Rays will get out of him.. his rehab numbers in Durham were less than impressive. That, and the Rays struggle to score (3.68, only Chicago White Sox and Seattle Mariners are worse.) With a tough sked coming, the Rays could fall out of contention quickly if they don't score.

[glory]

Yes. Watch more baseball.

 

LOL. Please enlighten me on which s***** back-up catcher got extensive reps at DH over far better options on another team. Last five years, ten years, whatever. I know you're an idiot, so I will point out that using DH to periodically rest starting catchers is not the same.

[baubau]

AA was on Baseball central. Pretty much saying that how Navvy has more value to them than anyone else, how hard it is to find a good backup catcher that can play if the main one went down and how much the staff loves throwing to him. Also stating that he has no control over playing time on a player.

 

So.. AA was never serious about trading Navvy and Gibby does think Navarro is the purest hitter on the team. God dammit.

Or, AA's comments are ******** to boost his trade value. Who knows

What makes you think anything a GM says about a player would increase his trade value?

[glory]

This is beating a dead horse, but what trade value??

 

Giving him reps at DH is not going to make teams covet him for a catching position when they could have gotten him a few months ago if they really wanted him.

 

He is still on this team because they like him. If they do trade him, it would probably be if he threw a fit publicly, and even his spring trade request was ignored. He's not being showcased.

[Angrioter]

AA is a moron

[Mikeleelop]

Smoak is the one who should be throwing a fit

 

he signed a bargain contract to get reps and the chance to build his value - nope sit the bench and PH occasionally

What did he say that makes him a moron? He's right, we could use an upgrade to the BP or rotation.
