This is not a playoff team that is obvious.....it is mediocre currently. Way below .500 besides the unsustainable 11 game streak. People getting their hopes up are just hurting themselves. This team does not have the mental toughness, beats themselves and has too many flaws, large flaws like defence and pitching

If Mark Buehrle retires would he be a good choice to replace Walker?

 

Or could he be more valuable as a Roving instructor in the minors for us?

 

Still wish and hope we somehow get him extended and he continues to pitch for us too! :)

You realize Buehrle would never ever stay in Toronto by choice right? He wants to go home to his dogs.

Everybody got a price... $$$$ ... The Million dollar man told me soo! Lol

 

Instructor then?

 

I think Buehrle is one of those guys that doesn't really have a price.

People got their wish, Travis now leading off.

 

With Dickey pitching, I'll be more comfortable watching this game knowing Reyes & Colabello aren't on the field. Not that Carerra is an upgrade but Goins will help the left side a lot and Carerra can at least hustle some.

Carrera is an upgrade. Arm is just as s***** but more range than Colabello. He's really bad for a 4th OF though. I can't believe the Jays can't find someone better suited to the role. Even if they don't want to call up Pompey, can't they dig up Dewayne Wise or whoever his 2015 equivalent is?

The latter part of the list makes sense but Cleveland, NYM, LAD and Tampa are too low. These seem too standings influenced.

I was interested in knowing what the Blue Jays record was with Ryan Goins starting at SS or 2B. I tabulated some unexpected results:

 

Jose Reyes at SS and Travis at 2B: Blue Jays team record of 11 WINS and 14 LOSSES

Ryan Goins at 2nd base: Blue Jays team record of 17 WINS AND 10 LOSSES

Devon Travis at 2nd base: Blue Jays team record of 19 WINS AND 28 LOSSES

Jose Reyes at SS From May 25 to June 24 (while Travis was disabled): Blue Jays team record of 19 WINS and 9 LOSSES (Ryan Goins was at 2B for 24 of these games).

 

Devon Travis was playing hurt for part of the time, however, the team record before he was hurt and after he returned is still well under 0.500.

 

I realize that I will get some nasty comments, however, the numbers make me wonder if the problem is really Jose Reyes? Is there a problem with Devon Travis' fielding range or is it possible that he is getting a poor jump on ground balls?

 

The wins and losses indicate that the Blue Jays have the best chance of winning with Reyes at SS and Goins at 2B.

Is it time to shake up this core?

 

Bautista, Reyes, Edwin...

 

Reyes can be moved for a sack of balls for all I care.

 

The other two depends on the return. The longer the team waits, the less their value becomes. If those two are still Jays by this winter, and a new GM is finally in place, then the team might be better off giving the core one more shot. I doubt they'll get a huge prospect haul for one year of control.
