Notable Jays notes: Russell Martin is now a 54.6 career WAR catcher.

 

Danny Jansen has been above average so far.

It should have its own thread. This is monumental info

JPA's career fWAR is now -1.1. History does not look kindly on the Pro-JP side of the Arenciba wars on the bjmb back in the day.

Joking bro.

Yadi is the Goat, Sal Perez actually sucks

[KevinGregg]

I feel extra bad for guys like Dioner Navarro who went from a decent 5.6 career WAR to actually being below replacement at -1.6

As I said in the other thread, a lot of people made fun of JFaS on his framing value numbers. He was right all along, you know who are dumbasses! There's a reason he among a few others that used to post on here work for MLB FO's.

he did have a nice smile though. I've done well with predicting failed prospects for the Jays...but the ones I've slapped star labels on to have never really turned out either (TdA, Snider, Marisnick).

Marlins broadcaster. The job he was born to have.

 

Edit...I read JPA. JFAs would make a horrible broadcaster.

This will be a neat historical artifact when they finally introduce RoboUmps.

That was at 10M per WAR now prorate his playing time to 450 PA per year... he was being generous.

In 2013-14, AA had Gomes, Mathis, TDA, and Kratz, but went with JPA, Navarro, and Thole.
