Rowdy Tellez is destined for the Korean Baseball Organization. He's not a big leaguer

[EastCoaster]

Didn't you just post in another thread that you wanted the Jays to sign the rotting corpse of Albert Pujols?

 

Yeah I wish they did but too late the Dodgers are signing him to one year deal you should have more respect for a player that is listed as one of a handful to have hit over 600 HR and is sure first ballot hall of famer. The leadership qualities Pujols could bring to young guys in any organization.

This post is a bannable offense. Never forget the mercy I'm showing you in allowing you to continue posting.

[The Cats Ass]

By look of his latest stats Tellez isn't banging much of anything.

 

Which I guess means your wife is pretty easy huh. If Tellez can even hit it.

[EastCoaster]

With Vlad looking like a natural fit at 1B, I don't think Tellez has much longer in the org. If he was hitting up a storm at DH, then maybe, but having DH open to rotate/rest players seems like a much better use of the spot for the Jays, especially once Springer gets back.

 

Since the Brewers collect Jays players, my guess is he ends up a Brewer at some point.

Exactly my point they're aren't sitting vladdy for Tellez when they decide to opt your bat in a the DH position should be a tell a tale sign what confidence management has in your productivity at the plate. You can only beat a deadhorse for solong before you realize that it's time to move on.

[Jays24]

Just seen this, but would like to point out you're absolutely wrong(like usual). He can be DFA'd off the 40-man if we wanted to clear space for some of our other prospects expected to get the call this year, or if someone is acquired from another team.

 

Well duuhh but why the hell would you DFA him from the 40 man when you can just send him to AAA? People were assuming he'd be fighting with Grichuk for playing time to start the year for a reason. He's only 26 years old and there's 0 chance he'd clear waivers...

Grichuk has a wRC+ of 87 since April 24th. Predictably, he's gone cold and ideally would be back in his 4th OFer role by now - primarily starting either at DH or in the OF v. LHP.

 

Ideally Rowdy would be back raking as we could use his production.

If we need the spot for someone else that will help the team more? At the moment he's a DH that isn't hitting. If the thread continues his spot will be in serious jeopardy, which is a real possibility. Hence Dinger's bet.

 

Somone will have to get removed off the 40-man when Kirk comes off the 60-day DL. When Merryweather comes of the 60. When Phelps comes off the 60. When Manoah gets called up. If SWR gets called up. There's usually only space for less than 10 minor leaguers on the 40-man.

We have a bunch of trash relievers who are pitching over their heads. They will go first without a doubt.

 

Now If Tellez is trash throughout the entire year then it's possible for next season but there's no way that's happening this season unless we make a move to get a replacement for him. I still have faith he can turn it around.

[Mikeleelop]

Tellez has been a major hole in the lineup this season his production is among the the team worst. It will be no surprise on who is going to be sent down once Springer is activated. Finding him playing time has become more difficult with the opportunity given him without any results.

 

when springer comes back, how do you sit one of Gurriel, Grichak, Springer or Hernandez?? Tellez looks real bad and i think dfa'ng him would allow you to send him to AAA for the rest of the season. remember, EE was DFA the season before he broke out

He has an option man?

[Spanky99]

He's the type of player that would go to another team and then start raking. That 98 percentile exit velocity.

 

So why would they DFA him? It's not happening, he'll just be optioned at worst. No way they just let him walk.

I'm going to assume that you're unclear on what DFA does... We can option Tellez to AAA at any time this year w/o DFAing him, and that means we don't have to risk losing him. The only reason you'd DFA him is if you need a space on the 40 man roster, and you've basically given up on him after 26 bad games (despite his 35 very good games last year...) Tellez would get claimed if we exposed him to waivers.

[wilko]

I'm surprised this thread isn't locked yet.

[The Iceman]

Tellytubby Tellez will mash once the team goes to Buffalo. That park is his b!tch

The trouble with Tellez is that his path on the team has been blocked by Guerrero playing 1st base that limited his time to DHing where others are hitting way better than he is right now and management has a harder time to justify his playing time with such poor results. Yesterday is proof that the line-up is stronger without Tellez in it as they manage to beat the best team in AL East the Jays could be in first place tonight if the play their cards right. It's hard to improve sitting on the bench sending him down to AAA would the best thing hoping he can turn it around then maybe he could have some value in a trade cause Vladdy will be staying at 1st base for a longtime.

[Spanky99]

I just bumped into this on a search I was on... lol, this is rich...

 

It take at least 1000 AB before anyone can really judge what kind of offensive capabilities a player has and 450 AB that relates to about 150 games in 2 years. Urshela was used sparingly in Cleveland and Toronto with hardly any consecutive AB how can anybody evaluate a player with such small sample. Nobody knew what he was capable of doing because he was on the bench only when the Yankees traded for him because of injuries that he was given an opportunity to play everyday and to much surprise he turned out to be an excellent 3rd baseman that it force the Yankees to move Andujar. I bet the Yankees wouldn't trade Gio Urshela now for $25,000 cash.

[EastCoaster]

The next seven games will be a sign if the Jays can compete with the rest of the AL east if they lose the next 2 series they need to bolster their pitching and get Springer back in the line up. This should send Tellez back to AAA for awhile. The bullpen blew it yesterday instead of being in first they're sitting in 4th place now.

Lol. So if they win the next two series they don't need to improve the pitching and Springer can stay home?

But can Tellez stay? Or does he go to AAA!?

Depends if they DFA him, or sell him to the KBO first...

Yes.

[EastCoaster]

Springer cannot get activated soon enough so they can send Rowdy back to AAA he doesn't belong in the big league this year with his struggles at the plate and now in the field. Guerrero Jr is much better defensively at first so let him play, there's plenty other options who can play first that there's no need to insert Tellez in any line up he hadn't produce any results so far this season to merit his spot.

[G-Snarls]

I was hoping for Tellez to figure it out at the major league level but alas...

 

207/.270/.328 OPS 597 so far this year

 

When Springer is back it probably makes more sense to just DH your 4th OF (or Kirk when back and not catching) and give Rowdy some AAA time to try and figure it out

I'm not saying I'd start him over Grichuk or LGJ - but he's been solid since struggling in April.

Watched Tellez a lot in Buffalo, and he never struck me as someone who would make to, or be able to stay at the major league level. Not a consistent enough hitter to be a long term DH option, and doesnt have the athletic profile necessary to be a plus defensive player.

 

I will say I loved his walk up song though.

[EastCoaster]

Last year was nothing but a fluke for Tellez he couldn't even come close to number he manage to fluke out that year we are seeing the real Telllez you cannot waste to much time on a 30th round pick at that stage you're nit picking the bottom of the barrel. There's no place for him now that Vladdy is playing first.
