[King]

Yay switch pitchers

[Governator]

Nice! This guy just amazes me regardless if he can't stick.

[HERPDERP]

His splits against lefties o_o

He can get lefties out and can stay in the game vs s***** rhb. Could be useful.

[z3r0s]

I approve of this b/c its awesome.

[Laika]

What a time to be a Jays fan!

Wonder if Barney will be claimed. Liked him during his very brief time here.

Doubt it hes arb eligible and would likely be non tendered regardless.

He gone....

[Dr. Dinger]

Hmm... I was going to come in here and shart on this, but his numbers against lefties are decent.

[Governator]

Maybe he just throws better left handed.

[AdamGreenwood]

Probably just saved about $2.5 million dollars.

Next year Travis replaes Goins, and Goins replaces Barney.

But no one can ever replace Kawasaki.

[Spanky99]

You don't say......lol. Stop AG^^^

Venditte's minor league numbers are decent but his stuff looked terrible in the big leagues.

 

Sad fact: he pronounces his name "Ven-diddy" as opposed to the correct "Ven-deet".

[Laika]

In other roster shuffling news, Dom Brown was outrighted by the Phillies so he'll probably elect free agency. Bad player but big name.

It's an Italian name, so it's not pronounced "Ven-deet". It's properly pronounced "Ven-dee-teh".

[rydermike]

He now has to indicate which way he pitches before the batter comes to the plate because of this

I wonder if the Phillies would've taken Bautista for him?

[Jim_Ackers_balls]

Lefty only guy .....and right handed long-man.

 

110 games pitched in 2016.

AA is always on the job.
