Given that Zulu needs to be added to the 40 man before the next rule 5 draft, I think he's the most likely to make it to the bigs this year, but I'd imagine in a reliever role in Aug/Sept, assuming he is near his innings limit. Castillo may need to be added as well, he's been in the system since 2016, but I don't honestly know anything about the guy.

Cito was a great hitting coach, it's that whole "manager" thing where he sucked balls. -
He seems to be maintaining his doubles power, but not getting those wall scraper homers. His xSLG is .406 though, which is only down ~20 points from his 2019/2020 SLG. His barrel% and hard hit% are above his career numbers, and his EV and max EV are right about his career norms. It looks like the process is still good, but as a lot of us predicted the shittier ball is having an impact. Depending on playing time, I think we see ~3 WAR from Biggio at the end of the season.

His career slash line is .234/.356. If he's only OBPing .320 (assuming that was the slash you were going for) he's having an incredibly down year for him (like last year when he was .322). He's OBPing .372 this year, and that seems to be his true-talent level for OBP. Once they go roboumps, that could get even higher. And, as was said by someone else earlier in this thread (I think) banning the shift will seriously help him as well (though I'm not in favour of that particular rule over all). Also, everyone in this thread was just dreading the Tilapia ABs, and just ignoring that he's on arguably the best hot streak of his career right now. 143 wRC+ since the start of this run of great games (May 24th). He's on f***in' fire. And the push-ups after sliding in to home is the best ballplayer gimmick since Edwin taking the parrot for a walk.

Put this in the clips thread.

This might be a valid point if Espinal wasn't on the team. Espinal can more than capably handle 3B and SS, Biggio 2B, 1B, corner OFs. They are both above average bats, and between them we'd need BOTH Chapman and Bichette to go down at the same time before there would be any issue getting all the positions covered. The traditional utility guy is one guy who can play all of those positions (typically with a below average bat), but with the versatility on the 2022 Jays it's absolutely not required. The second part of your statement is just silly. He's proven that he's an above average hitter over a large sample size. He's also shown that his poor numbers in 2021 were very likely due to nagging injuries, which were widely reported (but rarely believed around here for whatever reason).

How dare that article not link to the finished product.

Judge could feed the rest of the team for a month...

I was a kid when Rocket Ismail hit the scene, and I ended up with a rookie card for him that I still have somewhere, 'cause as a dumb kid I assumed that would be worth a WHOLE LOT OF MONEY

MOTHERf***ER cf

So, they've given us the dead balls for this game then, huh?
-
Lot of speculation that he's tipping the splitter. If you know it's coming, you just don't swing at it.
-
Also, more pitchers should use words like "flabbergasted".
-
Dude's got 8 starts this year and they still don't have a headshot for him. I like our chances today!
-
Anyone who doesn't pick Moreno today is a coward.
-
100% agree that he should have been jettisoned into the sun and replaced by Lukes weeks ago, just that it wasn't actually a bad trade with the information available at the time.
-
Tapia has a 141 wRC+ since May 25th (32 PAs, so SSS obviously). He's only had one start in June where he hasn't had a hit. Even if you're a traditional stats guy, he's had a .290/.313/.548 line over that time frame. Biggio HAS actually been even better over that same time-frame. 153 wRC+, .300/.447/.400 in 38 PAs, but Tapia has been good lately, so I have no issue with him batting 7th. Particularly if you're one of those "turn the lineup over" lineup construction types.

Zimmer was worth 1.4 WAR with an 89 wRC+ last year, his wRC+ is ***21*** this year. If he was hitting anywhere approaching his career numbers with his speed and defence, he'd be a nice bench piece, but we are not getting what anyone would have reasonable expected when that trade was made. It SHOULD have been an expendable arm for a good bench bat. Castro's not having a good year either, his only not atrocious stat is his 3.30 xFIP, all the rest of his numbers are putrid (in only 6.2 MLB innings).
-
I don't see a lot of people getting this 1990s Toronto Argonauts reference, but I did!
-
Why the f*** is Lukes not up with the MLB club? He has to be a better option than Zimmer, even if he's not AS good on defence.
-
Yay, a point!
