Offseason Roster Thread 2016-17

[Laika]

But the Jays are a big budget market. Right?

 

Yup... that's underwhelming to say the least.

 

You can justify Mitch Moreland if he's used in a platoon AND they spend some money on the outfield.

 

That's two qualifications but you do need to judge the offseason/team in totality and not based on individual moves/players.

[RealAccountant]

Pompey is a full win better than Revere

 

So we might as well roll the dice on him than replacement level garbage. If we are soliciting services of the likes of Moreland might as well Trade Donaldson Estrada Happ Tulo now since winning is not the objective

[Laika]

I think the easiest thing to do right now is secure Revere for like 2/10, that takes the stress off our needs a little bit.

 

Revere doesn't deserve money like that man.

Used in a platoon with who? Are we going to sign another 1B/DH type? Both Smoak and Morales are better against RHP so who is Moreland going to platoon with

So you're saying Fowler and Pearce are on there way in too...

 

Also, the Jays are likely in on everyone of their specific needs, this is JP Morosi looking for some click bait more than anything.

If the Jays ever stop twiddling there fingers, maybe!

 

Weak market and we are sitting back watching soon there will be only the revere's and Moreland types left and if it gets to that and crunch time that's how over paying happens.

Yeah safe to assume they ask about literally every available OF and 1B/DH. That's how you get a feel for the f***ing market!

[Frenchsoup]

Revere doesn't deserve money like that man.

 

He'll play a good LF for this team. He'll play a very ok CF for this team. He'll bat leadoff for this team and he has 1 design. Get on base and cause havoc.

Yes. That's why I've said I'm going to wait and judge in the spring.

 

I'm not optimistic, but I'll be fair and give them time.

Relax bro, the winter meetings basically start tonight as GM's etc, check in tonight. The stove's going to be hot! Plus, we're a team that has already added one of the better players available in Morales.

Except he's not that good at the get on base part.

Not imo

You'd give Revere the most AB's on the team? lol

[intentional wok]

Barely related: Remember when Pillar was slated to get the most ABs last year? Phew. Given that the lead-off revolving door never involved Pillar again, I suspect Gibby gave Pillar the shot early on to make him shut the f*** up until even he couldn't whine about it anymore (and if it worked out, no biggy).

[Frenchsoup]

Yeah.

[RealAccountant]

Revere is a borderline replacement level bat. LMAO,

 

Moreland is worst. Moreland had an OBP of less than .300

 

Just the fact that Shapiro checked in on Moreland is very f***ing scary. Imagine Smoak and Moreland on the same team, Neither can hit lefties. Same f***ing player, and we will be throwing 10 Mil a year down the drain, Add in Morales at 12 Mil and thats f***ing 22M. EE's salary.

 

So instead of EE we will have Morales, Smoak, and Moreland. Together they didn't equal 1 win between them last year, and EE had 4. Is this good management?

 

Shatkins is f***ing lost. Their brand of Managing by committee means there are too many voices, and they won't be able to strike the iron when it counts the most.

[Jonn]

Mitch Moreland aka MLB The Show Generic built First Baseman.

[Jonn]

Ben Revere is also not good.

It'd be nice if we could just stick Donaldson there and never, ever mention it again.

 

I half want to sign Fowler just to guarantee an above average hitter in the leadoff spot.

[GD]

Just saying:

Make it happen.

[intentional wok]

I don't think Moreland is worth much. I'd rather just keep Smoak on tbh.

Mitch Moreland has drawn interest from the #BlueJays, in addition to the #Indians and others, sources say. @MLB @MLBNetwork

ffs

[Stangstag]

Yeah.

 

Well that's stupid, and you should think about why it's stupid.

 

Revere would probably be tied with Pillar for worst everyday hitter on the team (with a slightly higher batting average maybe). Other than the fact that he's fast, why should he hit leadoff and get more at bats than guys like Donaldson, Morales, Tulo, Martin, Travis, etc?

Is that Dolittle? Chick is hot

[Abomination]

Apparently Jarrod Dyson could be traded soon. If the trade cost isn't too high, he'd be an amazing 4th outfielder (maybe even okay getting more at-bats in a platoon with Upton). He just came off a 3.1 WAR season. No power, but speed to burn and great defense.

[Spanky99]

Yup, that's his wife.

Bcuz he Chris Getz on base and Reeks Havok22 on the based paths!!!!!

[Spanky99]

Yeah.

 

C'mon Frenchy, you're better than this.
