Why the f*** are they keeping Bo down so long. f*** the FO is frustrating sometimes.

 

No real reason to bring him up until Sogard or Galvis are traded.

Its obvious really. They got the tercet scouting report... the guy is nothing special anyways

[Sorrow]

There's no point in calling Bo up until one of Galvis or Sogard is traded and Bo can play full time.

 

Two more weeks in AAA isn't going to do anything to Bo in the long term.

Cause they want to move Galvis first.

I agree, Bo should be up and playing SS everyday. If they are willing to forgo 2026 by calling him up this season, then the longer they wait the less time they have with him. Seems pointless to hold him back if he's healthy and ready to play SS everyday. If he's not, then maybe that's the answer. Waiting to trade our fringe starting SS for a C+ prospect is a lame answer.

Bo has like 40 games in AAA and he does not have godly numbers. Simmer down, incels.

Clearly Bo's not re-signing now. They've pissed him off. Might as well deal him now while his value is high.

Bo has a 113 wRC+ in AAA. Very defensible to hold him down until mid-April and save a year of service time while he finishes developing.

Agreed: The longer they wait to call him up, the more mid April of next year makes more sense. It sucks and I hope the next CBA changes that but might as well take advantage. The injury likely hurt in terms of ETA as well.

I definitely want to fight both Montoyo and Atkins

[Terminator]

 

The retards running this team have tanked Ken Giles' trade value and then lied and told us it was a massage.

 

I guess I can't prove pitching 3 days in a row with an already barking elbow is the cause of his newest flare up but I'm 100% certain it was more likely than a massage.

 

Trudeau should deport Atkins and Montoyo from the country for this.

Then build a wall

Deport Shapiro too. When America sends their front office executives they aren't sending their best. We need Paul Beeston back.

Racist!

I'm blaming Montoyo for this too.

[Slade]

People just expected Vlad to come up and do what Acuna Jr did last year. He'll figure it out, just going to take time.

Acuna in the 1st half in 2018: .742 OPS

Yeah, that's what I'm assuming the game plan is or he would've been up by now.

Yikes, that's pretty damning. I guess the big-league pitchers have a book on him now. The kid is so young, so there's no need to panic, but I'd be lying if I said that his start hasn't been a little disappointing.

[Spanky99]

Didn't see this posted... Yay! I still hope the Jays claim Meijia if he's still on the wire.

 

[BTS]

Vlad is going to hit eventually, but he needs to lose some f***ing weight in the offseason. He has less than half a season of playing time and he’s given up 6 runs defensively according to UZR and 3 runs running the bases. A full run of negative value over the course of 270 PA just because he’s fat.

Yeah, he definitely needs to lose 15-20 lbs.

Trudeau, deporting people?

 

Never. It's not very peoplekind.

Politics Thread

[glory]

There's not a ton of savvy in this organization. Starting with Montoyo, who has proven to be somewhat oblivious to most things going on around him, kind of like the textbook definition of a fool.

 

Upper management seems more book smart than street smart.

 

I think the frustrating part is we don't know how much is Buntoyo and how much is Atkins. Giving Vlad every 3 games off has to be a front office call. I find it hard to believe Montoyo would do that on his own. The three days in a row for Giles seems like more of a Montoyo call, probably out of sheer ignorance, but I understand the logic of Atkins having to communicate that Giles has to be unavailable after two straight games. The bunting obsession? Who knows.

 

Honestly I think we missed out on something potentially amazing with Shapiro as president and AA as GM if AA had any interest in staying. If you blend AA's risk taking and "think big" approach with the farm system building under Shatkins, it could have been interesting. I'm afraid Atkins might be in over his head, but he still has this trade deadline to restore some faith.

Danny Jansen:

 

 

Danny Jansen is going to be an MLB catcher for a long time even if he doesn't hit. If the bat takes off, he's an absolute stud.

[wk680]

Yeah, he definitely needs to lose 15-20 lbs.

 

I am thinking actually lose 20-30 lb of fat and add 10 lb muscle, so that would make a noticeable difference
