  1. If you can provide his 100m or home-to-first times at the top of a list with other top speedsters then I'll have no retort.
  2. I feel like AA's Achilles' heel is that he doesn't truly understand the game of baseball - and a lot of that has to do with the fact that he never played it. This doesn't go for all GM's but AA in particular.
  3. "Kevin Pillar looks snazzy when I look at his stat lines on my computer screen. The BABIP is high, but it's high wherever he's gone. Would like to see a better walk rate. He's pretty intriguing though, isn't he? by Tao of Stieb 12:15 PM"
  4. Watching him run up here. Even though he has a good SB%, I was surprised by how close every bag he stole was (that I saw) - I expected better based off the hype. And I never felt like he could make plays in CF that Rasmus couldn't get to. Also just the fact that he has multiple really bad SB% seasons in the minors.
  5. Ok dude. He's fast, but I don't think he's as fast as people make him out to be. Some guys look a lot faster then they are and some look at a lot slower then they are (i.e. Alex Rios).
  6. Yeah, hopefully he does bounce back. But there's no place for him on this team with Colby in CF.
  7. Yeah. Where are you going with this?
  8. Why is his speed elite if he can't steal bases?
  9. Better for a 2B (excellent defense etc.) - offense is slighty more than mediocre (but not for 2B)
  10. The same scouts that highly-touted Gose?
  11. It's almost like we don't have a choice. Santos will be ready soon, not to mention Lincoln deserves to be in the big leagues.
  12. It's fair to feel that way but to go whine about it to reporters makes him seem like a little piss-ant.
  13. (Travis Snider to become his doppelganger)
  14. I've seen enough of Ricky this year, personally.
  15. Yeah. Gose, 2 tool player - arm + fielding.
  16. No s***. And I also don't believe Gose has better range than Colby.
  17. I think people rate his speed high because he "looks" really fast (short legs or something?) and the way he slides head-first like superman "looks" cool. Gose SB numbers don't lie anymore, not a small sample size. Look at Bourn's MiLB SB% - Gose is not even in the same ball park.
  18. Gose: Career MiLB SB% = 69.7% Pillar: Career MiLB SB% = 75.0% Gose Speed = Over-rated.
  19. Jays always in the Mix
  20. Hate to burst your bubble: we are not going to the post season or the WS.
  21. At least something to anticipate (better than Blue Jays usual 'playing upset' in September) Btw there is only 2.5 months of baseball left, why do you say 4 mo?
  22. Kevin Pillar Low ceiling: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/johnsre02.shtml High ceiling: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/molitpa01.shtml HA
  23. Lawrie went full retard this year didn't he?
  24. And he will probably get fat fast with all that American food.
