You're not one of those people put off by offensive language are you? I'd hate to hear you are.
-
At the time, we still had D'Arnaud. So unless the plan was to move JPA and start Gomes, why would he have been given a regular run at catcher??? The Jays saw him catch 178 games in the minors. There had to have been some sort of opinion of his defensive game behind the plate.
-
Care to show where I'm tight with the projections crowd? Because if you can't, you kinda need to shut the f*** up. I do however side way closer with their opinions and thoughts, than lackey fans who strictly go to Jays games, only root for the Jays and draw a blank when discussing other teams. At what point is it okay to write a player off? Because 26 year olds like Goins, just making the majors, don't do it for me. Sure I believe he's something somewhere, but it isn't much. IMO he should be our Util guy this year.
-
So in order to assess a player they must all come up and play in the majors to be judged??? At the time we had Gomes, D'Arnaud was the COTF and Arencibia playing with the Jays. Multiple prospect publications & people weren't even giving Gomes any ink. Sorry, but a run of the mill bat in the minors with nothing lauding his defensive game.....isn't something to look forward to. There's catchers in other org's minors right now who have similar bats or lesser bats than Gomes who I've read wayyy more about their defensive game than a catcher in our own org.

There may end up being what seems like a fire sale, but I'm pretty sure the Rays don't decimate their team into an atrocity.

Love the post. There are some talented kids in the minors who I'd like to see come up and get a full year of uninterrupted playing time to work on playing FT and making adjustments. But teams are very impatient. And those kids are kids who are actually playing well in the minors or have a scouting report that has a bit of shine on it. There's nothing for me to get excited about a kid like Gomes was. The stats in the minors were that of a 2nd/3rd tier C, with some Util ability. BA didn't have Gomes anywhere on the Jays MiLB depth chart in 2011 and Sickels mentioned Gomes once in his years in the minors and he was a fringy afterthought prospect.
-
Can anyone point to a post before Gomes 2013 season that screamed....we need to keep this guy!!!!!! Before his 2013 season, IMO he was a useful Util player. That was my assessment. My assessment now & going forward compared to his peers.....around the tail end of the 2nd tier catchers. People need to look at the big picture of what Gomes is, not one year. People get wayyyy too hung up on what have you done for me lately.
-
No. What's annoying are there's some dumb fans who got real noisy and ready to torch the Jays FO for getting rid of him after the fact. A dumb fan shouldn't really have a speaking part on anything. They should be going to games, cheering and buying foam fingers, that's it.
-
Sucking whose dick? Sorry dude, I don't ride with the clique that looks at everything as a final result based on stats. But I'll trash any fan who thinks Yan Gomes is great and we shoulda hung on to him. Or in hindsight made a huge mistake in letting Chris Carpenter go, when he pitched like absolute s*** for us for 6 years & had major arm problems. casual fans, or fans who don't really have a clue, need to observe and not speak. Then people need to stop worrying about Yan Gomes. It doesn't matter to me if we have Bautista or not. I don't need to watch Bautista, to enjoy watching baseball.
-
And they'll replenish their farm trading Price, Loney & Zobrist. You remember them trading Shields.....Wil Myers going forward is a better piece than Shields. And the Rays got Odorizzi back as well. The Montgomery, Patrick Leonard, Wade Davis & Elliot Johnson aspect of the deal was even more youth coming to the Rays. The Rays will contend and replenish as long as they keep with their plan. The team is winning and has a model in place to continue winning. I'm sorry, but I'll take the sell high, buy low, not get too attached to players because the fans love them approach any day of the week over what the Jays did last year.
-
I don't mind trying to squeeze talent out of players. But because Bautista broke out, every idiot f***ing fan thinks that every player has a chance to break out. My mindset of hope for players succeeding when chances are slim are for guys like Mark Prior & Grady Sizemore. Guys who were studs before, suffered injuries and tried to or are resurrecting their careers.
-
Sometimes you have to help yourself.
-
So he started a lot..... I hope you're not implying he's a good player because of that. His career bat is below avg and his fielding career wise at all the positions he's played, mostly 2B is meh..... So in the grand scheme, he was at best a decent Util guy.
-
I'm still amazed at how recklessly stupid he is on the field.
-
It would almost be better if Bautista becoming one of the leagues best hitters didn't happen. Because now every retard fan thinks every player can be a late-bloomer. O....M....G lets keep everyone, because maybe when they're 45 they'll be good.
-
You know where else is a big league city. Toronto. And with the rabidness of Canadian fans & Torontonians, Toronto needs a 2nd team.
-
If you're talking to me, the only stadiums I haven't been to are Target Field and the Marlins new park. Olympic Stadium was by far the worst park. Yes worse than the Trop and yes worse than McAfee Park (Oakland Col.)

Montreal fan in critical condition

It's usually 40+ year old white guys that try to start the wave. -
Um.....there's a trend around baseball if you haven't already noticed. Pretty much every team that has built a new stadium, has built their new park with less seating capacity. And sadly the numbers you quote about the lipstick on the pig being the Trop'. Even when the Expos were dominating baseball back in 1994, their average attendance that year still wouldn't have filled a tarped off Trop' of 31,000. Embarrassing to say the least. MLB should move the team to Brooklyn and compensate the Yanks or Mets by breaking their territorial rights with some of the pooled revenue MLB receives. This whole discussion should be what's best for MLB. As it stands now the thread is like a societal special interest group lobbying for their stupid causes.

Too old? Jay's in his 40's. And Silvio was with him. Someone would've posted something.
-
And.....the Phoenix Coyotes continue on in the NHL. The way you speak, you make it sound like teams can pick up like a homeless person and just move on.
-
Why the Angels? They've got far better options.
-
It's a shame the fans would ruin it again.
-
I hope the Marlins and Rays both move to Montreal. It's such a f***ing baseball hotbed.
-
If you're a homer and don't know what's going on outside the Jays bubble......... it matters
