Ben Revere to Jays???

[scottishbluejay]

My friends in Philadelphia are celebrating as they think they are trading away Revere to the Jays.

 

Please tell me this is a joke?

[TwistedLogic]

Dislike.

[Swervin81]

For table scraps, sure. Revere would still be a huge upgrade on Carrera, even if Pompey does come up.

[scottishbluejay]

Revere can steal bases. He just can't get on base. He's been terrible in Philly and the fans hate him

[Angrioter]

f*** no

[Sammy225]

No complaints if we don't give up much for him.... Upgrade on Bello and Carrera and a Platoon with Valencia would be nice has he very good against righties.

[HERPDERP]

All his offensive value stems from his base running.

[TRM]

For the right price, he's a great fit. I don't know what all the hate is here...

[AdamLindsMom]

He's definitely an upgrade over the current options but better not be anything of significant value going the other way.

[z3r0s]

and that he gets on base at an above-average clip

[BlueBirdBro]

Why does nobody like this move? The defense alone makes it worth it.

Just think of Valencia/Revere Platoon.... It is sexy as hell and day Danny V starts Revere comes in later.... I think it is a good fit for the right price.

Revere is a useful player if he's used usefully.

 

I don't want a .708 OPS leading off for this lineup, and that's exactly what would happen if Revere was added.

[TRM]

Plus it gets rid of Carerra, renders Bello only a pinch hitter/DH and allows Revere to be a good weapon as a pinch runner in games we play a lefty.

Cause Pompey could do that while giving us better offense

He'd bat ninth (8th if Goins is playing).

I think he hits 8th or 9th.

[Sammy225]

cause pompey might do that while giving us better offense

 

ftfy

[TwistedLogic]

That's purely speculation on your part. Reyes was batting lead off and Reyes and Revere are the exact same guy.

 

Pompey promotion please.

[HERPDERP]

Anything can happen with Gibby, brah.

[Angrioter]

Tulo lead-off >>>>> Revere lead-off

 

 

 

Alex, old school baseball is over!!

[TwistedLogic]

Thank you.

[jayswin11]

If it doesn't cost a ton player wise, it's s good move. It's in upgrade over what we currently have.

The Blue Jays aren't interested in Ben Revere. The Phillies are talking to some other team.

 

god dam it Ang

[TRM]

That's purely speculation on your part. Reyes was batting lead off and he's worse than Revere.

 

Pompey promotion please.

 

Fine, I'd expect/like to think he'd bat 8th.

 

I think there's a way to make Pompey and Revere work. One as LF and the other as 4th OF. Colabello and Careera go byebye.

[GreekFatAss]

Thank you.

 

So I guess that means we land Revere in 5 minutes.

[AdamGreenwood]

I think you guys dislike Revere because he's overrated in 5x5 leagues. But otherwise, he's a solid player, who gets a lot of hits, and at the very least is a great weapon to have on the bench for his baserunning skills alone.

Pompey or bust, just scared he might be traded with Alford by the end of the deadline

He is disliked because hes the anti sabermetrics player whos value is based entirely off tools.
