That was a fun ballgame.

Damn, just realized that Espinosa jack, cost me a Hendriks W.

Lots of rain around the MLB the next couple days, DET/CWS has already been postponed... fortunately the Jays have no weather threat.

Nick Franklin was claimed by the Brewers. Didn't even get close to the Jays being able to make a claim.

Wasn't he waived by the Rays? Wouldn't he have gone through the AL first if that is the case? Or are the rules different first week?

Yeah, I believe this means nobody in the AL put in a claim.

Wait a second, I thought the other league got first crack at him but you're right. Jays chose Goins over Franklin.

[Angrioter]

Byron Buxton kind suxxx, again

Goins has somehow convinced two front offices, one that is big of sabermetrics, to think he's an MLB player. That's nuts.

He's so redundant when we have Barney already. At least Franklin would give us a a bat-first UT player instead of giving us two glove-first UT players. Goins must be some sort of clubhouse wizard to keep making this team.

I heard he's good at rock paper scissors.

6k in 9pa to start the year

Wow... Strahm getting lit like a Christmas Tree, again?!?!

Dude... that means he went through the entire AL and some? Jays are f***ed, at least Franklin can play 5 positions and hit, f*** Goins.

Yeah I realized my error two posts later. Jays passed on Franklin to keep Goins. I like this FO but they have about 0 skills when it comes to evaluating fringe big league talent.

Yeah, I added onto my post in frustration. *smh*

lol did you hear Atkins rationalize the move? Said Goins had more control and was a better "fit" skillset wise which literally makes no sense considering it's a terrible fit skillset wise.

[Spanky__99]

Strahm in 0.2 IP in 2 games... ERA 81.00 FIP 35.98 xFIP 21.17...

[JG34]

Yay Buxton finally got a hit!

[King]

Clint Frazier asked the Yankees if he could wear Mickey Mantles number lol

[Orgfiller]

I know Spanky is all over his dick, but Nick Franklin is really not a significant upgrade to Goins. They're both replacement level garbage but for different reasons.

Um, not really. It appears he can barely even play his native position properly.

[Sammy225]

Clint Frazier asking to unretire (not a word don't worry about it) the Micks number so he could wear it....... I wish i could have that size of balls.

I'm not the only one, Franklin actually has upside with the bat and can play any position in a pinch, Goins is glove only and redundant to Barney's skillset.

[Spanky__99]

lol... where did I say he was good on D? He's at least versatile. Do you want to keep Goins, I'd much rather have Franklin on this squad over him?

He seems like a huge dbag from what i've seen of him on twitter, etc.

Didn't he ask that Fitness chick out when he was traded to NY, the Ass Girl? Plus, I think he had to have been joking to ask to wear Mantle's jersey number.
