Blue Jays acquire Jonathan Villar for Griffin Conine

[Deadpool]

Montoyo: We're going to put Biggio 7th to help turn the lineup around.

 

Between Drury and Panik, for optimum wastefulness.

[Ray]

Griffin Conine is going back to Miami, according to Craig Mish.

[wilko]

 

Hopefully Montoyo has that conversation with Drury telling him to go home.

Damn - that was going to be my guess!

 

I think I'm OK with it. Not sure Conine ever makes enough contact to contribute at the ML level.

[BlueRocky]

Send Villar back! Send him back now!

[Jays24]

Trade him back to the Yankees for some disinfectants lol

[L54]

That’s an easy price to pay.

[BlueRocky]

Send him back for JA Happ, they’re not playing him anyways.

[MunenoriKawasakiMVP]

Conine suxx. He already Ks 35% of the time against s***** single A pitchers. He'd need to cut that K rate in half to even be interesting.

[Ray]

Send Villar back! Send him back now!

 

36% K rate in A ball as a 22 year old. I think that’s worth giving up for somebody who could contribute to a playoff run.

[Slade]

 

I like Conine but I think that's pretty fair.

[z3r0s]

got a soft spot for Conine, too bad.

[wilko]

Send him back for JA Happ, they’re not paying him anyways.

 

Fixed.

[LGBJ29]

I'm fine with Conine going to be honest

[BlueRocky]

Everytime I have a pre-season sleeper prospect, they get traded.

 

First Cal Stevenson, now Griffin Conine.

 

You’re sending him to the Marlins too, where his pops played and known as Mr. Marlin. Sigh.

[Laika]

yeah IDGAF about Griffin Conine.

[Jaysareus]

That means Bichette is out for the year

[Laika]

That means Bichette is out for the year

 

Nah. They can stick Villar all over the place, even on the bench.

[Jonn]

Conine is probably slightly better than a lottery ticket. Obviously has intriguing Lefty power but strikes out at an insane rate.

[Ex Player]

Conine had some impressive A-ball stats: https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=conine000gri

22 year old and a 36% K rate is not impressive.

[Dr. Dinger]

22 year old and a 36% K rate is not impressive.

 

Yep. The power is irrelevant, that K rate will absolutely never play at higher levels.

[Ex Player]

22 year old and a 36% K rate is not impressive

You dont think the rest is impressive?? 80 games, 22 HR's, 64 ribbies, .371 OBP and. 946 OPS??

Unless he improves that part of his game

No.

[Jays24]

No.

 

Tough crowd. Hard to write off a prospect that fast lol.

[Funky]

Don’t mind the return. I am not naïve I know we’re not contenders for the world championship but we are down for the playoffs and it will do the young pups good to be around that kind of atmosphere. Happy with the moves made today without really losing anyone is a great way to go about it

[Orgfiller]

Conine is probably slightly better than a lottery ticket. Obviously has intriguing Lefty power but strikes out at an insane rate.

 

A big power, high strikeouts, old for his level player is exactly the definition of a lottery ticket in prospect terms.

[Ryu In My House]

I'm fine with Conine going to be honest

 

Me, too. If he wasn't the son of a former MLB player, I wouldn't give two shits for him.

[Ryu In My House]

That means Bichette is out for the year

 

No it doesn't. He's better than anyone we have on the bench.

[Ex Player]

Jays acquire Stripling as well: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/stripro01.shtml

 

I really like the wheeling and dealing Shapiro/Atkins are doing
