Any word on Teo?

Any word on Teo?

 

Great time to ask!

 

[Jays24]

Great time to ask!

 

 

Wooooooooooooo. Can't wait to see the lineup on paper today.

[Jays24]

I'd go with the following but going to assume Girchuk might be 5th and Biggio 7th

 

DH Springer

SS Bo

1B Vlad

RF Teo

2B Semien

CF Grichuk

LF Gurriel

C Kirk

3B Biggio

Love the lineup but want to see Springer in CF. I wonder when that might happen.

Absolutely perfect.

With them demoting Tellez, feel like that won't happen for a week or two. At least all the right bats are in the lineup now.

[G-Snarls]

My God that's a deep deep lineup (if most hit to their ability)

[Brownie19]

With them demoting Tellez, feel like that won't happen for a week or two. At least all the right bats are in the lineup now.

 

I suspect they demoted Tellez knowing full well that Springer is going to DH for a few weeks before he's ready to play CF. I do not believe the FO thinks like EastCoaster.

Why does every keep insisting on putting Biggio 9th? He's been bad this year but he's still been better than half the lineup.

That poster hates Biggio and thinks he’s not an everyday player. There’s also the mentality that “he turns the lineup over” which is equally as stupid.

Lol no he hasn’t

Who could hate Biggio and his career .236 average? Not to mention his impeccable defense.

Yeah, read exactly that in a tweet yesterday. They want him getting regular AB's in the meantime.

Are you lost?

[Jays24]

The reason why I put him 9th is because the difference between him and anyone else at the bottom is miniscule currently. Because of that, I thought using the "turning the lineup over" thing doesn't hurt us and actually works best.

 

If he becomes clearly better than the others around him in the lineup then move him up for sure. Like I wouldn't put Jansen ahead of him. There are also no other Lefties to break up either.

Kevin Barker has mentioned this several times on Baseball Central. I love the idea. You’ll always have simpletons who can’t grasp it

Hnnngghhh... Dogg-pound!

Over/Under on how long before Name, Bunch of Numbers gets banned.

My guess is that they play Espinal (if he is still active) at 3B tonight versus the lefthander

Biggio right smack in the middle

[G-Snarls]

My GOD have Jansen Gurriel and Tellez been garbage

[Spanky99]

Vladito is out of this world! lol... what a month. F U Grichuk Haters!

[G-Snarls]

Vlad, Grichuk and the bullpen are why they've been able to hover around 500 despite missing key pieces, that's for sure

[RobinThicc]

Grichuk will be his same old self by the end of may.

No that makes too much sense to happen

Found that tweet...
