    Ya, that's fine. I agree with that. Normally I wouldn't single out Gibby at all, but I think he is a really nice person and loyal to a fault. He would stick by guys like Carerra and Cola way more than most. I think his influence was heavy in choice of 4th OF. At the end of day though, BurlBandit is technically correct...its the GM and not the Mgr.

    Gibby: "He did a lot of good things for us last year". And now...yesterday. When Gibby thinks of Zeke, all he will remember is April 23rd, no matter how many other brutal things he does. We are stuck with him, unless the GM makes something change.

    Ya, I know. As I said above. That's not the point. The point is...the best roster moves. Nobody knows what would have happened performance or injury wise if either of them were named 4th OF with the big club to start the season. We have lost a number of close games and I think either would have given us a better chance to win. Writing off this notion because they are injured just now, is kind of like declaring we won the Revere trade. Because he is on the DL at this point in time.

    I knew someone might take me up on that statement. I think in this case Gibby was very much behind keeping Carerra, and he got his way with the GM. Gibby is loyal to a fault, and his explanation "He did a lot of good things for us last year" explaining the 4 OF choice was quintessential Gibby. The buck stops with the GM, so ultimately its his responsibility.
  5. BigCecil
    I doubt it. He had one very good game. Aside from that he has been replacement level or worse. He sucks on D. I believe we should be putting the players on the field who give us the best probability of winning, especially when they are getting as much playing time as he is. I don't know buy that the other choices don't have better tools to give us a better chance to contribute to wins. It wouldn't be much of an issue but we are losing 8-10 WAR with Cecil, Edwin and Jose 2017 and this is a WIN season.
  6. BigCecil
    Ya. I know about them both but who knows what would have happened if Zeke never got the 4th OF in the first place and it was given to one of the other 2.

    Well that's kind of the problem with the value/upside of Saunders as we saw 2015 and 2016, as he has missed 5-6 starts already. When he has played this season I love his plate approach. If he stays healthy I agree he does have more upside. Huge if. His best season he played 140 gms and was a 2.3 WAR. He has a career .304 OBP. The 126 wRC+ in 2014 is great, but he really hasn't come close to that over a full season. Revere is a hacker with a 5% BB rate and low K high contact. Still...he managed a .340 OBP for us 2015. Defensively, neither of them are great, but serviceable. Revere was a useful player for the Jays filling a gaping hole in LF and getting on base. Trading him may still work out well for us though. This is only an topic of discussion because Gibby continues to use Carerra over Dalton or Ceciliani.

    Ben Revere isn't a great baseball player but you are talking out your ass. They have both had a couple of 2 WAR seasons with Revere topping out 2.8 and Saunders at 2.3. They are decent but flawed players. They are wash but given Saunders injury resume it would be easy to make the case Ben is worth more. (he costs more)
  9. BigCecil
    The 1 K is concerning. But 1 BB. Didn't get his GB% today as I skimmed through the game. He got through 7 on 92 pitches. Overall so far "new Happ" has been worth his 12mm. I never expected any more from him.
  10. BigCecil
    You cant be serious. You do realize he was in there against Wade Davis and the ump totally f***ed him on a 2-1 pitch high and 10 inches outside the zone right? Putting a ball in play 3-1 against Davis hard enough, but 2-2 is a whole other level of difficult. There is a justifiable reason Ben was hammering the f*** out of that garbage can. I cant believe anyone would let that be their determining factor in valuing a player.

    Just watched gm on PVR...now...that's more like it! Great W Jays. A lot of good signs today but my fav was the part of the park where Tulo hit those HRs finally catching up to some cheese. Zeke had himself a game (I still hate him on the roster). I like "New Happ". Win the series tomorrow.
  12. BigCecil
    Lol. Agreed. He was undervalued by most of us when you look at current situation. Having said that the mgm has made it much worse then it should be by using f***ing Zeke as the 4th OF.
  13. BigCecil
    Caller into Ben Ennis on Jays Talk asked if the team could wear a patch for Cola while he is gone and maybe put a picture in the clubhouse of him. A shrine to Cola? More than half this board realizes his .411 BABIP last year was unsustainable and had him destined likely to be DFA'ed. But some fans want the team to wear a patch for a guy suspended for PEDs? I don't want to pass judgement and wont, but his statement sounded a lot like most players when they are busted. We'll see. Even without the PEDs its time to say to goodbye to what was a great story and a seemingly very decent fellow in Cola.
  14. BigCecil
    Agreed. Its early. These guys are too talented and proud to continue this trend much longer.
  15. BigCecil
    Yup. Month. Tulo has been by far the most consistent. Goins has been ok. Jose throws like his arm is totally shot.
  16. BigCecil
    LHH just seeing the FB so well off Sanchez.
  17. BigCecil
    He would have swung and missed if he was.
  18. BigCecil
    nice job Barney. Lets hope that fires up the boy's bats
  19. BigCecil
    Got a link?
  20. BigCecil
    Lol. I think Saunders has had 3 games off in the first 15 games. I know he is a chandelier but it's not like he is our C. Give me a break. He was one of the few hitting the ball well.
  21. BigCecil
    Was in meetings all day and just read this. Cola must have gotten ahold of a bad batch. Mixture of a lot of sadness and also elation that roster issue is resolved. 2 more to go.....
  22. BigCecil
    Good. I'm just pissed off at the world tonight after another loss like that to the 0's. Back on the horse tomorrow.
  23. BigCecil
    Quit f***ing whining about your hurt feelings and dumb thread. Move on.
  24. BigCecil
    This isn't little league. Tulo and Martin are proven vets. They are working hard to get out of their funk I'm sure. It will come. It just sucks right now.
  25. BigCecil
    He was worse last April. Issue is aside from JD and Jose nobody else is doing much. Honorable mention Saunders.
