    I don't think he is, but still, by definition, it's a pretty crappy debut.
  2. John_Havok
    Stop the presses, we have a Matt Smoral sighting! 0.1 IP, Hit the first batter who was then CS, then 3 consecutive walks before he got the hook.

    I've already stated repeatedly that I think Pillar will make the majors and be a contributor, but not as a regular long term.
  4. John_Havok
    Re-read this thread and there's plenty of legitimate points raised.

    Melky Cabrera at 24. 4th year in the majors. Pillar at 24. Total of 353 PA at AA and higher, only 26 of which are at AAA. Yep very equal

    Right now it's actually slightly lower than the last two years but within .6%, and 2 ish % higher than his career average. But his walk rate is he lowest of his career.

    Gotta cut dem walks...

    Maicer hasn't impressed thus far, but I think he's about ready to go on a bit of a run. I like Maicer better than Kawasaki as a starting 2b ROS. I also think how Maicer plays between now and the deadline is really going to play heavily into how aggressively AA pursues a 2b via trade.

    I think you greatly underestimate the jump in skill level from AA to AAA and finally to the majors. I have no real doubt that Pillar will make the majors, and will probably contribute pretty well in a 4th OF only replacement getting 250-300 PA in a season.
  11. John_Havok
    Since neither Kawasaki nor Boni would be playing full time, choosing one over the other based solely on "what have you done for me lately" would be short sighted. It comes do to who's skillset plays better on the bench of the Jays right now, and a switch hitting speedster who can back OF and infield is probably more needed than a light hitting MIF only backup. Bear on mind the Jays are going to go through this again when Lawrie comes back unless there's another injury at the same time. Dump a reliever or dump Boni.. Then when Santos is back...
  12. John_Havok
    Yep legit. Rick Litsch and ECJF were wonderful friends
  13. John_Havok
    He was specifically referring to catcher and CF though, neither of those guys you mentioned fit that bill
  14. John_Havok
    He just told you. Guys with good defense and better than league average BA and OBP, you know, those guys hat never really get traded?
  15. John_Havok
    Sure would like to see some pop though...
  16. John_Havok
    Pillar very unclutch. 4-4 in th game and he comes up with an insurance run at 2b, 2 outs... Dribbler to SS.... #bust
  17. John_Havok
    Might try the Reading feed at http://www.1340wraw.com/main.html

    Non prospect Adam Loewen 5-5 today, all singles, mashing over his last 10 games. Non-prospect of course, but still nice to see.
  19. John_Havok
    Also worth mentioning tha Reed Johnson put up 4.4 fWAR / 5.1 bWAR in 2006 in his career year at age 29 while only hitting 12 HR
  20. John_Havok
    No real power projection would likely stop him long term, but he could probably carve out couple years as a full time guy frm 26-30ish, then be that rotating 4th OF that gets 250 PA every year after that, filling in over short stretches due to injury. I know we've all heard the Reed Johnson comparison's and that's probably what he's looking at. Really hard to project anyone as a long term full time player in the OF when his power ceiling is probably 10-12 HR
  21. John_Havok
    Interesting, he's clearly looking for a ball up in the zone... But where exactly does he think the strike zone stops?
  22. John_Havok
    Ummm... I hope you mean lightning
  23. John_Havok
    It's really too bad that the only person in baseball who seems to think JPA is a good catcher is AA.... Just awful
  24. John_Havok
    Top 10 catcher.... What a joke of a roster spot. Had Molina been the one catching the ball, he would have been sitting right on the plate and blocking the s*** out of it.
  25. John_Havok
    Who punched Urias in the face before that pic?
