    Listing a bunch of non-sensical hypotheticals isn't very compelling. Vlad was never going to be a league average 3B. This was obvious to anyone who watched him play third. His range was bad, his glove was bad, his first step was bad. Getting in shape would help.maybe one of those. Not sure how you can compare to Bichette but ok, I'll oblige. If Bichette had to move off SS because he wasn't good enough and needed to move to third, then he'd be just as valuable. Someone else would play short. Not a big deal. I believe the issue stems from a group of people who, via extreme homerism, had this strange perception that Vlad was essentially going to morph into a different person and go from one of the worst 3B in baseball to an average one. I remember watching Vlad make plays at third what were like 85%+ outs and people fawning over him for making them. It's even part of the reason I'm glad he's moving to first. I'm not going to address the Biggio getting fat thing because it's really dumb and the answer is obvious

    You seem a bit unhinged.

    I'm pretty sure every player tries all the time. It's called playing for your next contract. Lol Jesus Christ, are you seriously making that argument? "UGG MARCUS TRY HARD! ME LIKE!"

    Really? Maybe I'm weird but I'm sure as s*** happy he's not a Blue Jay anymore. He isn't some kind of special talent. He's a slightly above average pitcher who will probably never throw 200 innings. Yeah, a must have, super unique player The fact he's such an insufferable douchebag doesn't really help. There are tons of Marcus Stromans out there minus the extreme narcissism.

    Dude, they are baseball players. Do you know how many baseball players are smart? I'm struggling for names after Trevor Bauer.

    Stroman seems like the type of entitled douchebag who.would kick out an entire group of guys in a shared space so he could jump rope. Also, on having him vs. Grichuk...it's nothing to do with personality, Stroman is a better player. Despite him being a better player, it's a tough choice because Marcus is so unlikable. I also see that he's adopted the "if you don't like me it's because you're racist' tactic. I thought we were done with this f***ing idiot when we traded him.
  7. Boxcar
    That is a valid point, but given the number of guys he's windmilled into certain death, I have to imagine he's near the bottom. I know for near certain that Butterfield wasn't even close to as bad.

    They should have a WAR stat for third base coaches. I wonder how many runs Rivera has cost the Jays by sending every player that reaches third to a sure out at home. But hey, he's the third base coach, must be doing something right.
  9. Boxcar
    He's aware that kids are at basically zero risk, right?
  10. Boxcar
    I agree. Who cares if Fangraphs or any other sites need "money" to "operate". That is slightly inconvenient for me.

    You know, it's getting a bit annoying that people keep alluding to the fact that Vlad "loses value" by being a 1B. First off, they aren't really looking to trade him, secondly, if it doesn't matter that he's a bad 3B because value or something, why not stick him at SS or CF? He'd have even more value!
  12. Boxcar
    Somehow, Luis Rivera teaching Vlad fundamentals does not evoke confidence.
  13. Boxcar
    What about heel proportions?
  14. Boxcar
    Goddamn it that looks so nice

    If you think I'm being defensive, you read that wrong, buddy.
  16. Boxcar
    Well, makes sense given that they are barely treading water. They are trying to annoy people into subscribing. I personally think they should fire all their writers, put their scouting s*** behind a paywall like ESPN does with Law, and run a barebones operation where the main purpose is to supply stat pages.
  17. Boxcar
    Well, I don't want it. May as well go towards kissing the ass of a mod so he thinks twice the next time I commit a ban able offence.
  18. Boxcar
    Yeah I'm pretty sure your reasoning here makes no sense
  19. Boxcar
    I was gonna say, holy s*** @ the concept of being disappointed if Vlad follows Miggy's career path, lol. Becoming him should be the dream of every fat/lazy/big boned but not fat at all player. Autocorrect suxxxx
  20. Boxcar
    No but at least it will be less detrimental. He's basically the new Prince Fielder.
  21. Boxcar
    No fnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn politics, dum dum
  22. Boxcar
    Actually, I recommend a week ban for yourself for not knowing what a Karen is

    Final f***ing ly

    It doesn't appear as though logic is factoring in to the decision making. I have an unpopular and admittedly unfair position on this in that yes, I think athletes should be given special treatment because, if the choice is between all the Blue Jays opting out or reducing quarantine measures for them, I'll take option B. Sad reality is that the players are providing a service. We all want to watch sportball stuff.

    Good thing the Twitter Karens are here to set the players straight.
