Aaron Loup to AAA. Corresponding move?

[KingKat]

DFAing Loup was the better choice

 

You only have to DFA someone if they are out of MiLB options as was the case with Valencia. Loup has options.

[KingKat]

Is it a coincidence this happens before a Dickey start? I figure the corresponding move is Thole getting called up.

Add in the rumours around Martin being banged up and I too believe this is the move to come on Tuesday.

I wouldn't mind at all if martin takes the next 4 days off and give him some real rest, there really isn't a better time with having Monday and Thursday off and the mini series with the Phillies

Meh. It's two weeks before September callups anyways. No big deal.

Agreed

 

Do it Gibby

+1 The guy looks like he really needs it.

[G-Snarls]

Who is our backup catcher if Navarro plays every day?

 

Thole is hurt and Jimenez is recovering from surgery yes?

 

Would we essentially have to have Martin on standby as the backup?

Of course I kid, I kid.

 

Although if we are in a total emergency situation where every conventional option at C somehow went down, there we go, we do have a last resort option...

 

Funny thing is earlier on we did have both Martin and Navarro playing at the same time with one of them DH'ing quite a few times this year... so clearly they haven't really been worried about losing the DH spot should one of them go down...

Didn't realize Thole was hurt. Can't give Martin all that time off unless someone is available to catch Dickey.

[Sorrow]

One Chris Heisey please.

 

Then when Travis is healthy (if before September or if we make the playoffs) one less Chris Colabello please.

For Christ's sakes

[Boxcar]

Yes, a 4th first baseman is exactly what the team needs.

[Angrioter]

lol Valencia

[Sammy225]

Well that makes about as much sense as a third ear.

[TheHurl]

Thole is hurt

 

Thole is back is he not?

[TheHurl]

Well that makes about as much sense as a third ear.

 

I would love a third ear. Would be really helpful as the 2nd one has never worked.

[Slade]

He's back he was in the lineup the other day.

[RealAccountant]

Meh. It's two weeks before September callups anyways. No big deal.

 

You want him on the playoff roster

[RealAccountant]

Yes, a 4th first baseman is exactly what the team needs.

 

A good team needs to have at least 5-6 first basemen

[BigCecil]

Wut? Valencia is clearly > Collabello.

 

Valencia > Colabello

 

Colabello > Valencia

 

Honestly...there isn't much of a difference between the two. Valencia gives you more defensive flexibility and hit lefties well. Colabello is terrible defensively but has a more potent bat. Both have the strengths...both have their warts. If this move is the difference between the Jays winning and losing then they have bigger problems.

 

As much as I appreciate Colla's hitting overall I think its a stretch based on his PAs only in this season to conclude that he "has a more potent bat". The sample size is too small.

 

With the Jays small bad moves cumulatively add up to larger issues.

Yea. Colabello has had to ride a 0.400 BABIP to marginal utility this year. He's not a major league calibre player.

[Nafro]

Josh Thole call up to catch "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" please.

[RealAccountant]

I don't understand calling up Hague at all.he probably won't even play

[oakville69]

Wow, if only they had the opportunity to option Loup and keep Valencia. Oh wait, they did.

 

Agreed. I never understood why the Jays got rid of Valencia. He was a very useful player especially if Donaldson got hurt.

[G-Snarls]

He's back he was in the lineup the other day.

 

K. Good. Let him have a few games. Sorry I missed.

[AdamLindsMom]

Need a bench in NL parks

I like this idea. How well does Navarro catch Dickey?
