Goins vs Upton?

[Gary]

Reports are the last roster spot will be between these two scrubs. Who you got?

Upton easily, but would prefer Pagan over both.

[Jonn]

I can't believe that scrub Zeke made the team

[BTS]

Upton, without any question whatsoever.

[G-Snarls]

Upton easily

[Terminator]

Upton (along with Pearce at 1B) represents our only chance to actually have league average production at LF and 1B. Goins is a worse version of Barney.

[King]

Upton

[burlingtonbandit]

Upton. Can't hit righties but at least can hit lefties.

Great insight. But this is a real decision that will need to be made tomorrow.

Goi...jk

 

Upton /thread.

How is it a real decision when they are both replacement level that won't contribute to the teams win loss record

Because Jays management needs to decide whether Goins or Upton make the Jays final roster spot tomorrow. Is that easier for you to understand? I know it's a complicated concept.

[Laika]

Goins is a much more positive influence on the team. Upton may have more talent but he's a lazy lolligagger. Goins.

Reported.

[glory]

Holy crap, this is actually a real roster battle?

 

Good lord. Goins is like a pimple that won't go away.

[Laika]

It also helps that Goins is half black, you know, for potential #BlackLivesMatterToronto public relations reasons. Wouldn't want to have a game shut down by a sit in.

Excellent point. Unreported.

He's got that Derek Jeter tint

[Jimcanuck]

Goins is more versatile.... and is just a year removed from a very good season. Goins.

What versatility? He can play above average defence at second base and shortstop. Barney already provides that.

[FrozenRopes]

If I am Goins, I already have my stuff packed.

You're on the internet.

[Spanky99]

Didn't even see this thread on the board, lol. Goins can GTFO!

 

You option both Petit and Goins, I'm sure one will slide through.

Donaldson isn't 100% healthy and Travis is Travis.... Goins could be the damn guy

We have more organizational depth in an emergency in the OF (Pompey, Cecilliani...I guess) than in the infield. However, there are still a couple of guys out there you can sign in case of a major injury to either an OF (Jose) or IF (Travis/JD). Keeping Goins would be the conservative approach. At some point Jose/Travis is going down though, so pick your poison who you want starting everyday for a little while.

I can't think of two guys with worse attitudes that these two idiots.

Goins isn't even desireable depth because he's a) replacement level, and out of options. He's not a good enough player to warrant the lack of flexibility caused by him being out of options. If they really want replacement-level depth, there is a never-ending supply of Ryan Goinses. Just get one with options.
