GDT: Blue Jays @ Chisox Game 2 of 3

[Spanky99]

Nice play Smoak.

[Spanky99]

Bottom of the order getting Stro.

[Cleveland Steamer]

Yeah but Donaldson will 'only' be 32 next season, so a 4 year deal covers his 32-35 year old seasons. Beltre is much older currently at 38. Even if Donaldson produced half the WAR of Beltre in his age 32-35 seasons it justifies the contract I suggested

 

I guess if you can get him on a 4 year deal, I'd do it. But I doubt JD signs that type of deal. I'm thinking he'll want an 8 year mega deal.

He will but not sure anyone will go that high given his age and recent drop offs of players in their mid 30s

[Spanky99]

Bats needed to hit that another foot.

And Bautista wanted (supposedly) 5/150. It isn't going to happen. And if it does, woe be the team that delivers that contract.

Depends what he does in the next year and a half, he's certainly going to be looking for a long term deal.

Smoak the beast

[Spanky99]

Smoak'd... what a beast!

[gruber92]

Smoaked..

[Effit]

Smoak is such a treat.

[Omar]

Smoak is in beast mode in 2017

[Dr. Dinger]

I can't believe Justin Smoak has 31 HR and .405 wOBA on Aug 1. Baseball is f***ed.

LOL just read that three comments used the word beast.

JD will be much younger than Bautista was.

[gruber92]

What an amazing all around season Smoak is having. Should offering him an extension in the off season be considered?

[wk680]

Yeah, I was referring to the 8 year megadeal you suggested for Donaldson. That is not going to happen, but a 4-5 year big money deal is in the realm of possibility

[gruber92]

Depends what he does in the next year and a half, he's certainly going to be looking for a long term deal.

 

There is no way JD will get a 7 or 8 year deal.

 

5/150 would be the max imo.

Nice job by Pillar walking on 4 pitches. Three of which were borderline

[Captain Adama]

Smoak's SLG% at .604 and an ISO of .301

Pillar's approach is usually pretty predictable with a little deviation: Take every pitch until the pitcher throws a strike. Then swing at anything within 4 feet of the plate.

We have him under control for another 2 years after this one.

2019 team option?

[Omar]

No lead is safe...lets get some more.

[EdwinsParrot]

JD heating up!

[gruber92]

Martin couldn't score on that?

 

WTF?

[Effit]

Welcome back JD.
