This might be a barn-burner... Strap in folks -
Did Buck just use Josh Willingham in the same sentence as "good defensive outfield?" Willingham is one of the worst defensive OF there is...
-
Picking closed
-
I think Kratz caught both, could be wrong.
-
Might have to score ten before the 5th just be close.... I kid. Mostly....
-
Draft is over AA, let's get on the horn and get some real SP in this rotation.
-
f*** off with giving up HR to Dozier in the first inning....

Wins are the most importent stat for pitchers - Joe Morgan

What happens when/if the Juan Francisco experiment ends?
John_Havok replied to guylaroche5's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I think it depends on whether he makes the adjustments they need him to make. Teams have figured out the giant glaring hole in his swing, so either Francisco has to develop the ability to lay off that breaking stuff, or figure out how to hit it. There will still be the mistake pitches that he'll crush, but they'll become fewer and further between if he doesn't adjust. More time is needed to see if he can do it -
Game 66 Reyes (3pts) -aselvana Melky (2pts) - JaysAllMighty Bautista (1pt) - Jonn, jays4life19, vdub, JG34,baseballsss Lind (3pts) - flafson, Dylan, Spanky99 Eddy (1pt) - Deadpool, bowld Juan (2pts) - Angrioter, GD, o2cui2i, G-Snarls, Chappy, johnhavok Lawrie (1pt) - Orgfiller, LetTheBallFly Navarro (5pts) - Gose (8pts) - Pillar (8pts)

That's almost quote worthy.
-
You know this "bi-polar group" is rally just a small portion of the board. The majority is just fine.
-
Stupid bunt... Kratz probably can't score from second on a single anyways, and Gose would be hard to double up if swings away and puts it on the ground.
-
Gibbons playing with fire here, if Kratz gets hurt and the game goes past this inning , we're screwed
-
I think Pillar's complete f***ing bonehead dive is worse than Tolleson not getting the ball out of the glove. Tolleson was just unfortunate, Pillar was f***ing retarded.
-
For the most part yes, but catchers are longer than your typical position player since they throw just as much as the pitcher, granted at lower velo. Longer recovery than say a second baseman or 1b might take by far.
-
Not sure what Halloween has to do with it, but it was a nice effort up to that point.
-
Gose just needs more experience and pick his spots better. With the lead off man up and 1 out with a lefty on the mound, it's just not a smart time to try and steal. He'll learn. The positive sign was this time he hit on base rather than chase s***** pitches and striking out like earlier in the game in almost the same situation.
-
Boom. I think Ang's experience at winning last year gives him the experience to make clutch picks and not be fazed, that's why I threw in with him. That and Reyes had absolutely murdered Nolasco in his career
-
If.... If..... Yes goins would be valuable at .250/.300, but when he can barely do it at AAA at 25 and isn't even doing it right now in AAA at 26, there's really No reason to expect he's capable of it in the majors.

Very dangerous assertion. Pitching is volatile as hell.

MLB 2014 Trade Deadline Discussion Thread
John_Havok replied to TwistedLogic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Wouldn't be a problem for AA, apparently he's targeting rentals this year -
Ranges from about 1100 per month in the low minors, and AAA salaries start at 2150 per month when it's your first year there. The only real money being made in the minors is when teams sign guys who have played in the majors before on minor league deals. they earn 6 figures generally, but it's low 6 figures. The up and coming kids make sweet f*** all and unless they have a huge signing bonus or a wealthy family background, they don't make enough to be considered above the poverty line.
