Pitch recognition and the two strike approach are his Achilles heel right now.
-
There goes Buck again, quoting the w/l record with Pillar in the lineup.... "He just makes things happen..." Not even Moogy is that retarded.
-
s***, bench was my back up backup pick....
-
Really love how they're giving credit to the defense, when the only, single solitary reason that was a double play was because Navarro is the worst and slowest base runner in the league
-
Pfft. Computers are ruining defensive instincts - Buck Martinez. He just doesn't bring it up when people hit right into it the majority of the time, but the times where it doesn't work ... Look out! Drunken Buck will tell you all about dem computer things!

Wish it was on one of these 9 sports networks we have

Edwin mashing balls all night, can't hit it out.....

A Lind/Valencia platoon DH with the occasional appearance at first has a decent chance of being pretty good on the cheap. -
Yeah, and besides, you could pick every guy on the team right now and still come up empty every night. This is terrible.

Roughriders

It's amazing what you can do with great pitching, a huge park and a pretty borderline s***** offense. Defense hasn't even been good but... There they are.

Phil Bickford heading to independent ball
John_Havok replied to Angrioter's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
If you only read half his jersey it says "Tit" Heh -
Kind of a derpy playoffs we're having here. Let's change up the rules and just go with extra base hits instead of homers.
-
You overestimate a lot of front offices, which means the ones that do understand his value, won't have to pay through the nose for it. Add to that his season this year is a pretty big outlier from the 5 prior to this.
-
Except Martin doesn't have the offensive numbers that teams still covet, rightly or wrongly. Martin is not McCann in the eyes of baseball FO's everywhere, so why would AA be forced to pay a McCann-esque contract for him? I'm not arguing that he isn't valuable, I'm just saying that his type of value is not one that gets guys the big pay days so there's no need to set that precedent if you don't have too.
-
That doesn't mean you have to pay him like one if the market doesn't pay for framing. Also, being on the wrong side of 30 as a catcher and you really need to go to 4 years, that's a lot of risk on a position notorious for bad health. 2 years(24m) plus an option for 12 more(1.5 buyout) is as far as I would go, give or take 1 million per year if that's what it took.
-
Yup. If all of that comes true, would be the first series of smart decisions in a row in a long time.
-
I dunno, some people just don't get that certain stats are stupid like ERA, dont understand park factors, use bad sample-size based arguments because they don't know what a real sample size is for the numbers they are quoting, and you end up with this train wreck where someone is so confident that what they are saying is true, when in reality he's further out in left field than that monstrosity in the Marlins home park. It's entertaining really.

Cuban Yoan Moncada believed to have defected
John_Havok replied to ace3113's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
If there was a case to be made that he would slot into the majors immediately and be an impact player.... Maybe for the richest teams. But even then, they'd be paying tax on the signing bonus, plus very likely a luxury tax on his salary. It just won't happen. -
Not to mention the fact that the "hive mind" these idiots keep referring to is still the huge minority voice when it comes to baseball as a whole. I guess it's okay for the old school to be a hive mind, just not anyone else.
-
Buffalo only 1 game out of a wildcard and are playing the Red Sox affiliate right now, wwho is the team they're chasing. Stomped them 15-2 last night. They might actually make the playoffs and having Norris there for that would be nice.
-
Don't see a need to start his service clock. If they want get him more innings there's always the Arizona fall league

Cuban Yoan Moncada believed to have defected
John_Havok replied to ace3113's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Of course one, he's subject to the international signing cap. No team would take a tax on up to 85 million just for 1 guy who wouldn't even be going straight to the majors. -
MLB Might have an out there Gibbons was already on his way out as Escobar was getting in the box. Nice dig by Davidson on Gibby though... "Not a speed merchant"

Nobody on Navarro. The shutout continues
