Blue Jays acquire Ben Revere

#Phillies are covering all of the roughly $1.2m remaining of Ben Revere's salary. He'll platoon in LF for #BlueJays

AA has literally sold the farm for a shot at a wild card spot that many other teams are close to also. Hugely risky. I think a huge negative is that they still have Gibbons as manager.

[burlingtonbandit]

So Phillies paying his entire salary as well. Thats a pretty damn good trade.

Rose had great walk rates and hit doubles

 

No one thingks he is Pete Rose lol.

The sad thing is you're probably right

 

I don't understand why someone who never has a positive thing to say spends hours a day posting on every thread.

Dummy I was talking about Revere hitting lead off, so suck it

[Travis_Snider]

Great Trade

Hitting a lot of singles does not make you a good hitter though

 

So Ichiro was replacement level?

 

Of course if you can get power with speed you do it, but unfortunately that doesn't exist - AA

 

Hitting a lot of singles makes you a very good bottom of the order hitter.

 

Why do we hate Carrera in the lineup? Cuz he doesn't hit a lot of homers? He hit one the other day, but generally he struggles to get on base. You are getting a guy that can get on base and steal bases. Who cares if he hits his way to second or steals second?

Ichiro walked more, out slugged and hit the ball harder than Revere.

 

But no Ichiro was not "replacement level" whatever that is when it comes down to hitting.

I can't believe we're getting cash back too. Amaro got ninja'd as expected. s*** GM

 

Lmao. Always the same. People freaking out for the first half of thread. AA is an idiot selling the farm and he's a ninja by the end. I'm just happy to have some excitement for a change. Yankees did nothing. And no one will want to face us in a series now. Been a long time coming. Go Jays Go

Why are you comparing him to 2 hall of fame players? Revere is a good piece for what he is, and what we gave up. He helps this team.

Im not, multiple people are and I'm trying to politely point out how retarded they are. All I've said is Revere is a good player who is a below average hitter

I wanted the Jays to get scrappier at the bottom of their lineup and they have, I'm happy. People posting Revere's wRC are wrongly suggesting he doesn't fit that bottom of the order role, when he is the ideal pickup.
