GDT Opening Day - Yankees @ Jays

[KevinGregg]

Nothing has changed it seems from last year. I truly believe we would be a 10 times better team with Vlad, Bo, Alford, and Teoscar on the team

 

This is probably true, at least for this season. And there's something to be said for trying to go for it with donaldson one last time. But I can see the bigger picture. If you let all the kids hone their game in the minors they will be a lot better when they come up and we will have more years of better players overall.

Should really try to go inside on Stanton more, he gets noticeably uncomfortable with anything inside.

[Jonn]

Grich was either badly fooled by that ball or was attempting some kind of decoy.

[jaysfan2014]

Somebody hit already in the Jays lineup! Yankees are just shutting them down..

[Yippy]

Unwritten rule you can't pitch Stanton inside

[Daniel Labude]

This team would get eaten alive even worse running them.

 

Give it time.

 

Um no. They are basically ready. They could use another year in the minors but would be a vast improvment to what we currently have

[KevinGregg]

Danny Barnes strikes out Stanton! The high point of the year so far

[AledmysDiaz]

Um no. They are basically ready. They could use another year in the minors but would be a vast improvment to what we currently have

 

2 players aren't going to make a big difference. You are better off aiming for the next open window. The next 2-3 years are Yankees and So.

[Daniel Labude]

Have you lost your marbles?

 

No, I'm just tired of watching the senior citizen circuit of hitters

[Krylian]

Unwritten rule you can't pitch Stanton inside

 

Until it's written, pitch him inside.

You made me spit my drink.... lol

[Deadpool]

"Mike Stanton"

 

Thanks, Buck.

Yes 2 Ryan Goins would not. 2 Mike Trouts would lol

[WesternJaysFan]

GG Morales...

Promoting teenagers from High A ball isn't the answer.

Spend money and keep developing a great minors and the window should be every year

[Daniel Labude]

By August they can finish developing here imo.

He listed 4 players. That's half the lineup

[Bobthe4th]

Until it's written, pitch him inside.

 

For the love of whatever deity you worship, please stop quoting trolls.

[Yippy]

This grichuck guy doesn't look too impressive so far

[WesternJaysFan]

Not very impressed with Grichuck.

[Krylian]

I'm gonna be paying extra attention to the Jays minor league affiliates this year that's for sure.

[BTS]

Grichuk sure swings through a lot of fastballs when he's not going well.

[Yippy]

We gave up a really good reliever for grichuck oh good lord

[Terminator]

By August they can finish developing here imo.

 

If they prove they can hit and field in AA and AAA then in September they can get a look. Then they can head back to the minors next April like every other top prospect does then they can come up.

[KevinGregg]

This grichuck guy doesn't look too impressive so far

 

The analytics say he's good. It worked with smoak, seems to have failed with Morales. Best two out of three for Shaktins here

[Yippy]

I'll take Bautista over grichuk

[Spanky99]

Um no. They are basically ready. They could use another year in the minors but would be a vast improvment to what we currently have

 

Jesus!

[KevinGregg]

I'll take Bautista over grichuk

 

You may be all alone there

[BTS]

Can someone just ban Yippy and be done with it?
