Former Blue Jays Thread

[G-Snarls]

Chapman signing will not look good no matter what the price. He has been terrible so far (I know small sample), however add that on to last year and I am thankful the Jays did not get him. IKF has been better IMO for half the price.

 

Ridiculously small sample size, Chapman so far this year:

 

.182/.250/.364

wRC+ 72

BB 6.3%

K 22.9%

 

Yeah... If he was our starting third baseman we would all bitching about him right now for sure. I know us

Maybe he will have a cold April and a hot 5 months after. The opposite of ‘23. It’s a long season.

Of course. He's capable of ridiculous hot streaks. But it's been a while...

I will say the team is generally good at deciding who NOT to bring back

Is that because everyone that we had was crap or that we have a discriminating front office?

Sem Robberse carving up AAA at 22 years old.

Youngest qualified SP in the International League, second in qualified ERA.

I looked up the baseball savant breakdown of his last start and he is featuring an interesting pitch mix. He threw 30% cutters, 27% change ups, 22% 4 seamers and 21% sliders. He averaged only 91 MPH on the 4 seamer but the change up played like an elite pitch yielding a 62% whiff rate. At a glance he appears as though he might be a Trevor Richards type or something of that sort.

hmmm yeah looks like he is a wide arsenal guy with a plus changeup

 

sometimes those guys have trouble translating their skills to MLB for obvious reasons. I am sure we will see later this year. The Cards have some s***** old pitchers.

You mean pitchers with a feel for pitching, who can use a large arsenal of pitches often struggle at the ML level? Shocking! CD - are you and Buck paying attention?

So the 6-23 White Sox dfa Pillar and the Angels pick him up? What a hopeless org. I feel sorry for Trout.

It's sad they have nobody else to fill his spot. What a joke organization.

well, this move never happens if Trout is healthy.

You have a Brand going at this point. Is this 1982, that year you didn’t have a prom date? Do you think a guy throwing 95 automatically means he can even play A ball? “Feel for pitching” is exactly what makes someone a pitcher. It’s really that simple. Of course someone throwing 90-92 isn’t going to have the same wiggle room at the mlb level with bbs and missing spots, but velocity without much of else, isn’t any better.

Jeff Hoffman has a 1.34 FIP and is a free agent at the end of the year.

 

The kid made it after all.

He was nearly done then he started taking his conditioning seriously, got outside help, put on muscle and added a few mph to his fastball

[Stangstag]

 

Can’t believe the Dodgers are playing this bum 2 WAR OF.

Wonder what kind of contract he gets.

 

Even last season, Hoffman was awesome: 1.5 WAR in 54 games.

Bum?

[Laika]

Mitch White getting Mitch Whited for SFG

[Brownie19]

Moreno is down to .229 average, 90 wRC+ and zero power. Walking more is about the only positive.

 

Perhaps we did ultimately keep the best catcher - Jansen

[connorp]

Bum?

 

Not the first time you whiffed, won’t be the last.

Jansen is definitely the best catcher of the 3 overall. Just extend him and hope he stays healthy.

[Spanky99]

What are you going on about?
