So how long until Devon Travis is back? Week and half? or 2 weeks?

 

Doing Extended spring training now so i would say start of june would be optimistic.

[RealAccountant]

How long will this go on

 

Goins war = -0.6

Barney war = 0.3

 

How long?

Can't come soon enough. Even if he's just worth 1 WAR in half a season he's going to be a massive improvement.

Burns up, Tepera down

[West Texas Forever]

It's been warm enough recently that they could sufficiently test it, so assuming the forecast doesn't change there's really no excuse to keep the roof closed either day.

 

Night games cool off a lot by the lake so that is one reason why they usually only start to open the roof during afternoon weekend games to start the season. I doubt the roof would be open on a night game until the night lows touch 20 - 23 degrees.

Nice. The team's #8 prospect according to KATOH.

 

Burns primarily plays second and third base, but has shown he can handle nearly every position on the field. With fringy power and overall hitting ability, he likely doesn’t have a future as a starting option. His overall kit and defensive versatility should make him a valuable utility man should he get the opportunity.

He's got some tangible experience all across the field too. Sad to say but he might be out best bench player.

[John_Havok]

He'll take his walks at least and can play pretty much every position on the field. Nothing special with the bat though, so really kind of a poor poor poor man's zobrist.

[KingKat]

O.K. Looks like the Jays will keep trying players with some positional value before they resort to Montero.

[HERPDERP]

roof will be closed the entire weekend

[Sammy225]

 

Puig loving T.O

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Lmao at the roof being closed for tonight. Its gorgeous outside. Complete joke

I heard something to the effect that they're doing work on the stadium that requires it to be closed.

[burlingtonbandit]

Worst part is tomorrow its supposed to be even nicer and it will be closed too.

[West Texas Forever]

Enjoy the game tonight, if a you catch a foul ball in my seats I will have a good laugh. Been sitting there for years and only had one close enough for a grab.

dont know why but i really enjoy seeing this. plus the guys at the raptor game was nice too.

I've heard there's the potential for problems opening/closing the roof when it's below ~10 degrees.

 

Overnight low forecaste at 8 so maybe they don't want to risk it.

I know what the weather is like there and tonight would be fine. They have their built in excuse every year of "we're still testing it" but if that weren't an issue, then the temperature should never be the reason to keep the roof closed. It's an outdoor game and people can dress appropriately for it.

 

This isn't really directed at you, but just a general annoyance about this.

Like you say they do this every year.... Do you think there may be a reason for it??? Or is it just to piss fans off? I like the the rest of this board do not know much about what goes into prepping the roof or what not but my guess is maybe leave it to them because i am guessing they know more then you.

Well if they know more then they should know how long it takes to prep and adjust accordly to have it ready for when the season starts by now too! Does Edwin run this crew? Lol

[RealAccountant]

^ that's an okay deal but I'd only consider giving up Thole if they throw in Trout

[BigCecil]

Was thinking about starting a Bullpen mgm thread as I was rehashing yesterdays gm in my head this am. Gibby is driving me insane.

 

Storen is quickly working his way up the ladder for biggest reliever acquisition bust in Jays history - Claudill, Myers, CoCo, Francisco.

 

Hon Mention: Gregg.

 

Cant put BJ on this list as for part of his contract he was dominant before he broke down.

I'd give Sergio Santos an honourable mention too.
