Yeah his bat is fine. Steamer projects him for a .343 wOBA which is better than your average RF. Not very good for a 200 million dollar player though.
-
Yeah injuries is one thing but I am thinking foot speed declining and how that would affect Heyward's elite defense and good baserunning. If he loses that he gets mediocre very quickly bc his bat isn't the greatest.
-
Are there any studies on large players aging more quickly? Heyward's value revolves largely around defense. At 6-5, 250+ is it a concern that his defense will drop as he ages?
-
Subtracting a 4 win player from the team and adding prospects isn't going to help us. To answer your question, yes, risking them walking and getting picks after they provide us 8 WAR in 2016 isn't the end of the world.
-
I'm not sure but it would be pretty bad philosophy for World Series contenders in win-now mode to deal very good big league players for minor leaguers.
-
He did turn down the Orioles job a while back. But I believe that was due more to Orioles ownership than him not wanting to be a GM.
-
This team is a serious World Series contender. Why would we start selling off our veterans for prospects?
-
Damn, he won't even comment on if LaCava is a candidate. King, you laughed at me for saying the interim tag wasn't a big deal and now I hear crickets.
-
Will Gibby be managing the Blue Jays in 2016?
Terminator replied to Spoonovic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Of course he is back, just confirmed by Shapiro. -
I have no idea I don't keep track of interim GM's really. When are GM's given interim tags instead of just being named the GM? Probably doesn't happen all that often. But regardless I don't think this means LaCava is a shoe in for the full time gig at all. He could end up getting it but an interim title doesn't guarantee it.
-
What? Isn't it assumed that the Assistant GM becomes the Interim GM? What is so hilarious here?
-
But I guess we will know more after Shapiro's press conference.
-
Oh ok so it comes with the interim tag? This really isn't news then.
-
Agreed. This is the best move from a PR perspective for sure. The casuals are mad as hell at Shapiro but if you offer AA a 5 year extension with an opt out, promote LaCava when AA bolts, and bring back Gibby (which they will but I think he'll have a short-ish leash) then whose fault is it other than AA's?

You beat me to it. You can delete my thread.

Westhead: Shapiro Told Blue Jays Payroll To Be $140MM+
Terminator replied to Spoonovic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Well your team is not only in the bottom third it's dead last isn't it? But I guess I see what you are saying but I like winning and find winning to be the most interesting of all. The higher the payroll in theory the easier it should be to win. So I'd take the Yanks payroll over our payroll easily. Just need a good GM to manage it and make sure it doesn't get out of control. -

140 isn't the end of the world but was hoping for higher. It will be enough to add some FA's but we will probably need to make some trades as well. -
Phillips affair for whatever reason hit the main stream. I bet a lot of people aren't even aware of Reynolds'.
-
They even had a job fair that I signed up for. There were hundreds of jobs alright, they just consisted of the likes of selling minor league tickets in Iowa. Not a single internship like this or anything except for Baseball Info Solutions.
-
I went to the Winter Meetings to try and get a job in baseball like 4 or 5 years ago. You have to take some s*** internship with a place like Baseball Info Solutions for 7 bucks an hour and then you can get an internship like this (which rarely pop up) with an actual team if you can beat out the thousand other candidates. Then after you do 2 or 3 of these internships you might be able to get a "job" where you cut video for barely any money. I'm not really sure where you go from there but I imagine climbing the ranks isn't much easier than getting your foot in the door. The other route to getting a job in baseball is nepotism. You are probably better off moving to LA and trying to become a Hollywood actor.
-
I do too. Managers have little bearing on the outcome of the season anyway and Shapiro likely doesn't want to rock the boat any further if he doesn't have to. Like I said above, he'll be in a similar spot as Don Mattingly was this year with the Dodgers because he's not the GM's guy.
-
Very well said.
-
I hear ya. He left on a very good note so the next job that opens up he will get consideration. But why not stay? The team would be good again next year and you can collect another year of salary and then move on elsewhere.
