General Jays Discussion 2015

lol

You're not in agreement? Guarantee Hutch will give up 5 runs in Yankee Stadium.

Call me crazy, but if Buehrle is struggling down the stretch, I wouldn't mind seeing Estrada starting in the playoffs. Besides Price he's been our most consistent guy lately.

Sure his advanced stats aren't the best, but he has been solid. In his last 13 starts he's given up 3 or more runs twice.

2.42ERA 51H in 78IP 24BB 58SO

He seems to be pretty reliable regardless. Normally Estrada has really good control and has a very good changeup to help keep guys off balance. At this point I think you consider him as a starter in the playoffs. He's less prone to blowing up than the other options.

[Jayzfan79]

LF - Pillar

CF - Pompey

RF - Revere

 

and how would this alignment rank for best defensive outfield in the AL / MLB???

 

1st and DH would be split between Bats and Edwing

[burlingtonbandit]

That would likely be the worst OF in MLB. Just close the thread already.

I don't want to see him in the playoffs tbh. He's shown that he's still prone to the HR and he's just been really lucky a lot of them are solo shots. I think playoff rotation should be Price Stroman Dickey Hutch if we get to line it all up. If Buehrle starts to pitch well then have him start instead of Hutch.

[Trouba95]

No more Jose in RF pls.

[Swervin81]

Ewwwwww. Jose should move from RF sooner rather than later, but none of the above have the arm for RF (especially Revere, he has the worst arm in baseball). Unless it's an FA (Cespedes) or some sort of AA wizard ninja trade, anyone other than Jose mans RF full time.

[The Cats Ass]

Replace Revere with Heyward or Upton.

Lmao revere is the guy you want to replace in that Trio

 

 

Hey about Pompey hits over Mendoza first

[GD]

Replace Revere with Heyward or Upton.

 

Heyward pls

That's what I said ain't it.

[Krylian]

There's a chance that trio wouldn't hit a combined 30 homers next year.

Revere 0

Pompey 5

Pillar 9

[The Cats Ass]

Heyward pls

 

I'd also be fine with Gordon or Cespedes. Both are LFers though, but I feel like those two could transfer over to Right.

[GreekFatAss]

LF/ Pompey

CF/ Pillar

RF/ Heyward

 

1B/ Bautista

 

Bench/ Revere

 

Looks much better.

[dineke]

is there a way to watch the lansing lugnutz game tonight? Is it televised?

[Boxcar]

lol

 

Is Trouba the worst legitimate poster?

[BigCecil]

Will we see a line up this year ever of Revere-Pillar-Pompey in OF and Bautista at 1B with Edwin DHing?

 

I cant remember if Jose was terrible at 1B or not. Has to be > than Cola and Edwin and < Smoak I would guess?

[KingKat]

LF - Pillar

CF - Pompey

RF - Revere

At the very least, I would flip Pillar and Revere in this alignement. Revere is a LF (and a CF in a desperate emergency). He's not a RF in any scenario.

[HERPDERP]

He didn't have many opportunities at 1B. If I recall he did it once in the regular season in Minnesota and I think once in an ASG.

[ValiantJaysFan]

Revere should be in the lineup every single day the way he hits. Most of our power comes from our infield anyway...JD, Tulo, EE, and Bautista if he moved to 1B. Traditionally you don't get that kind of power and production from those positions so it makes up for less of it from the OF.

[Mac Outlaw]

Jays record after 132 games....

 

1992: 75-57

1993: 75-57

2015: 75-57

 

How good were they in 85? Franchise best 82-50 after 132.

 

In 1987 they were 78-54.

 

The forgotten 1984 team, buried by the Tigers who started the year 35-5 also had 75 wins through 132 games.

 

Post 93 the best record through 132 games was 69-63, achieved 4 times: 1999, 2000, 2006 and 2010. That would make us the Texas Rangers of this year, in the hunt for the second wild card but a fringe contender at best.

[Daniel Labude]

There's a chance that trio wouldn't hit a combined 30 homers next year.

 

And the infield could hit a crap ton. Would be the same overall

[KingKat]

And it would be a great OF in terms of overall range and speed so it's not like it would be worthless. It would provide some value, it would do so unconventionally and it woudn't be overwhelmingly positive value but not negative either. I can understand being against the idea but the level of hate it's getting seems pretty over the top.

[Mac Outlaw]

Also important to note that those two WS teams brought it down the stretch. 92 team went 21-9 and the 93 team went 20-10.

 

I think we'll finish up 20 and 10 as well. Something like 10 and 3 at home and 10 and 7 on the road.

If Pompey can hit and run like he was recently in the minors then it's a no brainer, you move Bautista to first.

[dineke]

How much is Heyward going to get?

[reedjohnsonfan]

Any word on if the Jays are skipping Hutchison? I'm going to the game Saturday and would rather see Price pitch.
