Luis Perez reassigned, expected to start season on DL
flafson replied to jaysfan2014's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
We can't have 3 catchers... Izturis needs to be on the bench, Sierra is probably going to be there, Kratz and then someone like Kawasaki or Gose. Tough call to be honest. -

They will probably put a few more on the DL to make sure everyone will fit. -
Keep in mind that he was pitching the last 2 innings today, that means hitters from the minors.
-
Getz seems to be alright on defense as well.
-
Bummer, Jose and Edwin missed.
-
Popped out. Edwin next.
-
Bautista to the plate with bases loaded.
-
Diaz sounded like he did good.
-
Edwin!!!
-
Yea, go here: http://mlb.mlb.com/mediacenter/index.jsp?c_id=mlb

Double play, but they score 1.
-
Now a single. Bases loaded 0 out.
-
Ball 4, a walk.
-
Morrow hit the hitter, great start...
-
How come no steam even on MLB.TV?
-
It's one thing for the player to talk about it and another for the whole organization to talk about it. They obviously have a lot invested in him now so we will soon find out who was right. Obviously if they miss with him then that's a big nail in the coffin for this FO.

Stream?

Good example. Last time i checked, they did try McCoy for a while and he wasn't lights out with his glove like Goins is. But yea i guess it's similar. Although IMO, Goins is more physically gifted than McCoy.
-
A swing that resulted with the ball being in play.
-
He's quicker to the ball, more balanced/relaxed, doesn't whack at everything, takes pitches and aims the middle. I think almost every swing he had in spring training so far was to the middle. Last year he was only pulling the ball.
-
That may be true but if you look at every level where he had more than 300 PA's then he was able to handle himself enough to suggest (to me at least) that there is potential. 2010 (A) 338 PA's 122 wRC+ 2011 (A+) 398 PA's 109 wRC+ 2012 (AA) 618 PA's 105 wRC+ 2010 (AAA) 418 PA's 90 wRC+ To me, he was able to hold his own. With the new help he's getting now, i think he can at least hold his own in the MLB level. That plus his defense should hopefully give him a decent WAR.
-
I think he has the physical gifts to hit in major league level. I don't throw it all away, if you check his numbers you will see they are all over the place, the kid didn't know what he was doing and since he wasn't a number 1 pick or signed for a huge bonus, the Jays didn't bother with him that much. I'm actually surprised that he reached AAA at all.
-
The key in the bet was that it's 99% guarantee that Goins will be very poor, therefore you adjust those chances by giving him a minimum PA's. Fact is, unless he gets hurt, the bet should stand with or without those minimum PA's.
-
That was true when they didn't teach him how to hold the bat and take a swing. The guy was holding the bat like he's 2 meters tall and tried to take a whack at everything he saw. Pitchers picked up on the fact that he didn't know what he was doing and was very slow to the ball so they threw him balls to the ground a la JPA and he tried to whack them. They did a ton of changes on him recently and you can see that he's at least getting quality at bats. Will he get better results than his minor league careers? Only time will tell.

Sorry if this was posted already: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/tor/blue-jays-ryan-goins-putting-in-extra-effort-to-improve-offensively?ymd=20140304&content_id=68715210&vkey=news_tor Don't you guys find it odd that he has been in the system for years and only now someone is changing his mechanics?
