General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2022)

[Brownie19]

I wonder who would have provided more value at 300 PA this season, Tapia who has -0.1 fWAR or Ziimmer. I think Zimmer's defense and speed would provide a bit more value but he's also not going to hit as badly as he has over the course of the season.

 

It's frustrating watching Tapia get as much playing time as he is.

 

As of May 10th, he has a 116 wRC+ and a .305/.329/.445 slash line. His defensive metrics are awful, but they are playing him out of position when he plays CF and defensive metrics are always a bit fickle...but he's earned playing time with his bat after a horrible start to the year.

Orioles and Yanks 7 games this week. Could break our season if we dont snap out of this slump

[Ehjays]

[Jonn]

 

This is such an obvious move that needs to be made.

[Eat My Shatkins]

Hopefully Giles liked his time with the Jays.

 

That's a no lose opportunity with potentially huge upside.

[Deadpool]

Going to the game tonight. First time at the Dome in over a decade.

 

Not super thrilled that it's a Kikuchi start, but maybe he'll have one of those ones where he's actually sharp.

 

Also, it would be super nice if the bats f***ing show up (I've heard Springer may be active tonight, so that's good...)

[G-Snarls]

 

Berrios must have been very lucky with run support/bullpen backup vs Gausman

 

Kikuchi stands out like a sore thumb

Enjoy! Hope it's a good game.

Zimmer DFA'ed ... wow

[G-Snarls]

Yes!!!

 

Springer DH tonight probably?

 

We now have better CF options than Zimmer

[Terminator]

Keeping JBJ over Zimmer makes sense. He's a better defender and he can actually make contact with a baseball once in a while whereas Zimmer can't. So maybe they can tweak something there to get him to hit .230/.300/.400. Zimmer is faster but he's not really a stolen base threat anyway and it's hard to fix something when he's K-ing over 35% of the time.

How is this not already done?

[L54]

Please sign Giles and hope and pray that he can be effective.

[G-Snarls]

Also, f*** Merryweather and Pearson. Like, seriously...

There's also a better than decent chance Zimmer accepts an assignment to AAA if/when he clears waivers. He has enough service time to decline the assignment, but he doesnt have enough service time to decline the assignment AND keep the rest of his major league salary coming.

[Laika]

sure fine

[Omar]

Zimmer DFA'ed ... wow

New bullpen arm

Yeah, the first 6 weeks were abysmal.

[Spanky99]

He's bartering over whom to sign with, obviously.

Why? Those guys healthy could be huge.

[Spanky99]

 

That Spencer dude is the dogg of twitter.

[gruber92]

Two horribly located 0-2 pitches and a run. Holy f*** Kikuchi is snake bit.

[G-Snarls]

I'm angry about their non contributions because of health reasons when we could ha e really used them

[Brownie19]

Shockingly - it doesn't appear to matter who's the manager of this team. I'm so surprised.

[Terminator]

It's a damn shame we aren't playing better. We'd be within striking distance of the Yanks if we weren't completely s***ing the bed the past couple of weeks.
