General 2016 Blue Jays discussion thread

I think a fresh start would be good for him

[Angrioter]

League average hitter in AAA with questionable defense. He's close to bust territory.

 

You said the same about Gary Sanchez for being named top 100 prospect for 99 straight year.

[Jimcanuck]

Not gonna call Pompey a bust until he gets a fair shake in MLB and fails

I thought he was actually putting it together lately, but he's back to square one. Add these gifs and it's apparent whey he's never called up lol.

Ryan Goins in the clubhouse. Somebody must be going on DL. Jays PR says no move to announce yet.

Bo Schultz also in #BlueJays' clubhouse, suggesting a second move is coming.

Fuuuuuuck

[Spanky99]

 

f***ing Lott... Hnnngghhh...

[Daniel Labude]

Wow those Pompey gifs are painful to watch. I didn't realize he was having such a hard time in AAA

 

That was all from 1 game...I think

[Stangstag]

Probably better that it happened all in one game, sometimes you have a bad day. But if this is the norm for him... Yikes

Bautista DH

Donaldson 3b

Edwin 1b

Tulo SS

Saunders RF

Pillar CF

Upton LF

Travis 2B

Thole C

 

Hate when Martin's not in there when he's this hot. Plus Stroman didn't have much success last time Thole was behind the dish.

Travis hitting 8th is also yuck, Sore hand or not

Gibby is an idiot screwing up the lineup as usual.

[BTS]

Good point. Hoard league average AAA hitters with questionable defense because sometimes they figure things out and improve at baseball.

Also, Dickey's pitching tomorrow... Martin must be banged up or something, well, unless he DH's tomorrow to give him a day and a half off going into the O's series.

Still a chance that Gary Sanchez turns out to be a bust. Didn't Montero rake when he first came up?

 

EDIT: yes he did. 166 wRC+ in 18 games for Montero.

Pitchers will adjust to Sanchez, and he'll have to make adjustments

[Belliss101]

Why is Travis batting 8th. Gibby just throws darts at a board.

Yup.

Hand still in pain maybe

[Spanky99]

Having Thole play in back to back games is the egregious part to this, who f***ing cares where guys are batting.

He's not a write off just yet. Out of options next year so will have his chance to make the team unless he's traded. And steamer projects him for an 85 wRC+.

He'd be a great speed option off the bench

Dominican sarcasm bro

 

Right now Pompey is a piece of s***, Shatkins know it, and want to maximize his value in a league with inferior level.

 

Next year OF is a wait and see (Saunders and/or Jose back, Pompey develops, new guy Harold Ramirez)

Yes another goof by Gibbons. Thank goodness fatty is returning

[Krylian]

So the hand will hurt less on the 8th slot? If he's too hurt to play then he shouldn't be in any spot in the lineup. If he's healthy enough to play then he should be at the top where he belongs.

[AttaBoy]

Anyone know which episode of vikings Donaldson is in?

[wamco]

Four

Probably put there to get his timing back for one game, tommorow I hope I see
