Oliver projections has Goins at 1.1 WAR
-
So this is very accurate? I just feel like from watching I've realized how much defense in the infield can completely change an inning or a start for a pitcher and I wonder if the stats can effectively show the value of a great defender over and a subpar defender. Just think of all the trouble caused by Boni playing 2B compared to having someone like Johnny Mac
-
I was thinking about this today and wonder if you guys know anything about it. Let's say you have a SS and 2B with equal WAR, one set with all offense, s***** D and the other with amazing D and awful bat. Would having the pairing with the amazing D be more beneficial to the club because of their effect on pitchers, especially ground ball pitchers. I know that WAR takes into account their defensive value, but I think that's pretty much just based on how difficult the play is. I guess I'm asking if the defensive metrics accurately correlate the defense with the effect of preventing runs.
-
Steamer has him at 67 wRC+. Around 70 sound reasonable. The defense is where they are way off.
-
Man if Goins can put up 1-2 WAR with regular playing time this thread will be hilarious. Of course if he doesn't the guys will be out to get the optimists.
-
That's my point

???

Not the same situation at all, but it fits your narrative. Goins has played less than half a season and is a defense-first guy. We really need good defense around the infield because I think it will have a noticeable effect on our pitchers. BTW, not sure what's wrong with having some hope.

"While he'd ideally like to add a 2nd baseman to create more competition & depth, AA said he's comfortable with a Goins-Izturis combo at 2B." -AA Let Goins prove you all wrong

Fangraphs Jays Top 10 Prospects #1 Sanchez
theblujay replied to John_Havok's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
It makes too much sense. I've lost all hope in AA and I feel like he can't realize this. -
Anthopoulos, a small deal could be done tonight.

I hope not. I think it would be a big mistake -

So Stroman is projected for 2.2 WAR as a rookie. And you guys want to trade him for Samardjajiziaaia... -
Fangraphs Jays Top 10 Prospects #1 Sanchez

Nay is #3? Wow -
Parks was also talking about Stroman saying he's not worried about his size at all and that he's legit.

I guess thats what happens when you only draft pitchers.
-
Trust me you don't want anything to do with Boston teams.
-
I'm embarrassed for them. Kadri is one of the only one I notice doing anything on offense besides the top line.
-
They might not win for the next two weeks with the upcoming schedule. Sharks, Stars, Sens, Bruins, Kings, Blues, Blackhawks, Penguins. Yikes
-
Its time to fire Carlyle. That's all
-
You disagree?
-
Ranger has had a lot of noticeable bad giveaways.
-
I can't decide who's worse. Dwayne Casey or Carlyle. I think I might make a poll.

Jays targetting Jeff Samardzija and/or Ryan Hanigan
theblujay replied to JugglingPitches's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Well I'm under the impression that Sanchez was AA's favorite out of the Lansing 3 and I feel like he's not gonna trade the last remaining member of that trio. Plus Sanchez is more of AA's type (Projectable, tall, hard throwing).
