Jonn Old-Timey Member Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 What's with all the Brady Dragmire hate? Other than the obvious reasons.
King Old-Timey Member Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 What's with all the Brady Dragmire hate? Other than the obvious reasons. It's not hate. He's just been terrible. Easy DFA candidate if we need to make room on the 40
Jonn Old-Timey Member Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 It's not hate. He's just been terrible. Easy DFA candidate if we need to make room on the 40 Oh ok. Yea I just haven't heard his name for awhile. Forgot he was on the 40.
spats Verified Member Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Smoral strikes out the side again but gives up a run on 0 hits and 2 walks. I watched this guy in spring training over the years and he has so much raw talent. If he could only find some command of his pitches, he might still amount to something...reminded me a lot of Randy Johnson both in style of pitching and attractiveness.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Vlad Jr. having some early success. After last night's outburst: .832 OPS, .219 ISO, 12.9 K%, 10.5 BB% thru his first 85 PA He might be in line for a promotion to Vancouver in the near future.

Actually, all of low A ball. Even if he plays 2017 in Vancouver he could be the youngest player in the entire league.

Even if he plays 2017 in Vancouver he could be the youngest player in the entire league. Who was the last 17 year old to play A ball? Off the top of my head I'll go with Michael De Leon, Rangers SS

Even if he plays 2017 in Vancouver he could be the youngest player in the entire league. Obviously, it's not up to him, and this is pie-in-the-sky, but: In addition to showcasing his slugging ability, Guerrero Jr., a former outfielder, is hoping to improve at third base, a position the Jays started playing him at last fall. “I feel a little different because I haven’t really gotten the feel for third base, but I am hoping to get the feel for third base before the season starts.” His goal is to impress the Blue Jays enough to warrant a roster spot on the Vancouver Canadians, Toronto’s class-A short season affiliate. A year from now, Guerrero Jr. expects to be playing double-A baseball in the Blue Jays system. He is committed to making the Blue Jays roster before he turns 20.
Laika Community Moderator Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 I love the #want Vlad the best Judging from Cleveland though, Shapiro systems tend to be of the "slow and grow" variety. Although they were aggressive with Lindor the phenom, so there's that.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Yeah... well I think we can all agree that AA as an 18 year old is not going to happen, in any event.
Laika Community Moderator Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Dunedin at 18 would basically mean that he's a slam-dunk top 25 prospect at that point.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 The tight K% is definitely a pleasant surprise. The 3B experiment might be short-lived, tho.
Krylian Old-Timey Member Posted July 15, 2016 Author Posted July 15, 2016 Dunedin at 18 would basically mean that he's a slam-dunk top 25 prospect at that point. The last Jays prospect I can think of (off the top of my head) that was 18 in Dunedin was Delgado.
Krylian Old-Timey Member Posted July 15, 2016 Author Posted July 15, 2016 Bichette not in the GCL's lineup today. Day off? ......or........ #freebo
Laika Community Moderator Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 The last Jays prospect I can think of (off the top of my head) that was 18 in Dunedin was Delgado. Carlos? He was 20 when he hit Dunedin. I actually went and looked at every Dunedin roster since the mid 90s and all I could find was Robinson Diaz, who had 10 games in 2002. I'm guessing Dunedin just needed a catcher in some emergency situation because he only had a .688 OPS in rookie ball that season. Medicine Hat!

Don't know why I always thought he was 18.
THANOS Old-Timey Member Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Yeah, the only way Vlad shoots up to, even, Dunedin next season is if he absolutes rakes like a phenom. It is possible though, he's doing quite well for himself in Bluefield and the learning curve has been pretty quick for him.
Daniel Labude Jays Centre Contributor Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 he goin ham I would love to see him and Vlad Jr. playing together soon.
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Dany Jimenez with a no hitter through 5 too
jays4life19 Old-Timey Member Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 In 70 PA Mr Bichette is now smashing 199 wRC+. I likey.
burlingtonbandit Old-Timey Member Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Wonder if he cleaned up any of his swing. Great that he's mashing now though.
King Old-Timey Member Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Bichette to Bluefield within the next week
BigBounceyBlueBalls Old-Timey Member Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Let's be aggressive King, Bo Bichette Norberto and Vlad the Impaler to Vancouver!!! This would be a upgrade I feel compared to what they got playing there now too!!!
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Let's be aggressive King, Bo Bichette Norberto and Vlad the Impaler to Vancouver!!! This would be a upgrade I feel compared to what they got playing there now too!!! One step at a time. We're talking about 70 PA sample sizes here. That doesn't mean that they shouldn't be promoted, just saying that there's only so much that you can see from a stat line about someone's readiness for promotion. That being said, having Biggio, Bichette and Vlad Jr on the same infield would be cool to watch
King Old-Timey Member Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Maeses number was re-assigned to Zeuch. It seems like he's been promoted

King Old-Timey Member Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Zeuch making his Vancouver debut, at this moment. 1st inning Boise Bottom of the 1st Steven Linkous grounds out, shortstop Yeltsin Gudino to first baseman Christian Williams. Garrett Hampson grounds out, shortstop Yeltsin Gudino to first baseman Christian Williams. Jacob Bosiokovic doubles (8) on a fly ball to center fielder J. Woodman. Bobby Stahel triples (3) on a line drive to right fielder D. J. McKnight. Jacob Bosiokovic scores. Willie Abreu doubles (1) on a fly ball to left fielder Rodrigo Orozco. Bobby Stahel scores. Wesley Jones grounds out, shortstop Yeltsin Gudino to first baseman Christian Williams.
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 3 groundouts to 0 flyouts. Hell yeah
