Snider-ific?

Yeah I'd love to see that changed. Will find out. In the meantime I'm a firm believer in trying to give your cap filler a little S I Z Z L E

And he'd be a reliever with no options. A particular favorite type no less.

Yeah good point. This was a sound bite for the press. Meanwhile AA is making daily phone calls for 2B trades.

“I told Alex and Gib, there’s more in this kid’s tank, I wouldn’t be quick to pull the trigger on a second baseman,” recalls Seitzer.“With the way he plays defence and the runs he saves with his glove, he’s going to be able to contribute with the bat, I believe.” - Seitzer can Die For Anal too

Yeah it's pretty thames-tastic

Say whuuuuuut?? http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hcMpVRRiNRA/TgP1mTUMsKI/AAAAAAAAC2M/UjEL0QzV4vc/s1600/Almost+Thamous.jpg

That's what I'm talking about

This should be a new board punishment. Somewhere between an infraction and a ban. I like it.

It's called hyperbole, son

LOUP AND PILLAR ARE BETTER BUT WE'LL GO WITH JEFFRESS AND SIERRA BECAUSE THEY ARE OUT OF OPTIONS THAT WAY I CAN KEEP MY HEAD IN THE SAND AND AVOID ACTUAL ROSTER MANAGEMENT AND I CAN WAIT UNTIL SOME IDIOT GM WILL GIVE ME SOMETHING GOOD IN TRADE FOR THEM aa cap filla aa

He has no options. That's why they said that in the article.

Agree. If he can't play the OF acceptably he's useless to us.

Ah, but then you'll still get to enjoy the Moises Sierra experiment. (See Fatcow post in the spring training thread)

Thirty?? More like a hundred and thirty.

"Sierra is an early favourite to earn a job in part because of his contractual status." And finally (then I'm done here) this is the WORST possible reason to give someone a spot on the 25 man roster. FFS.

Look, if we knew he has going to hit like Goldschmidt or something you do stuff like this to make room for him. But is the bat even going to play??

Guy is all arm and has terrible baseball IQ so... Put him at 1B where he touches the ball all the time but almost never throws it? SMH

We've seen guys hit over .350 with plus power in our farm system turn to s*** in the big leagues. (Snider, Arencibia) It's complicated

And .310 SLG with 1 HR

Still sucks cause isn't 5 years 75M exactly what he got from Detroit?

He sees himself as a hitter

Seitzer thinks he can stick. TSN: http://www.tsn.ca/mlb/story/?id=444535 - A safe bet to be the nine-hole hitter if he makes the team, Goins is eager to improve upon the .609 OPS he posted in 121 plate appearances over 34 games with the Blue Jays last season. His .679 OPS in 111 Triple-A games last season feeds into the all defense-not much offense narrative but Anthopoulos is more concerned with run prevention this season after watching his infield struggle with injuries and range last year. "He needs to be able to hold is own (offensively,)" said manager John Gibbons. Seitzer, during his first scrum with the Toronto media in January, said he saw Goins as a potential .275-.280 hitter. Their Kansas City rendezvous had already happened so Seitzer was speaking as someone who'd watched Goins up close. "I see myself as a hitter," said Goins. "I think I can put together productive at-bats for a season and help the team win. Whatever they need me to do. If it's situational hitting, hit and runs, bunting guys over. Whatever is called upon me, wherever I'm hitting in the lineup, is what I'm going to go out there and do everyday."

Angels irony: - Spending 55M+ per year on Pujols and Hamilton - Only relevant because they fell in to Mike Trout late in the first round of the draft
