Why is Rivera still our third base coach?
Convo replied to pickoff22's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Every single third base coach is going to make mistakes, he's not bad. Non-topic IMO. -
Wasn't that bad... Kawasaki's a comedian

Again, as I said it's not set in stone. Again, as I said, you have to account for performance drop off in the majors. The term relative and projection are used for a reason. I'm sure at one point Brandon Wood was ranked quite highly while moving up the in the minors but nobody would ever peg him as a MVP candidate. Thanks for the intelligent discussion, I'm feeling so much smarter after talking with you.
-
Do all of your retorts centre around putting words in people mouths? It's not set in stone. And you can't have it every way you want. Brandon Wood is now 29 and has 700 major league ABs.

Did you just go and cherry pick an even smaller sample size from a small sample size? Good times. You should still be able to relatively project major league performance from minor league performance. Pillar is not a .220 OBP guy. Gose is not a .335 OBP guy.
-
Yeah
-
Scouts must know something we don't... .767 OPS in high A ball doesn't seem to warrant a call up (sorry Ang)
-
Congrats!
-
Are you the Dave in Vancouver that calls into Wilner, or are you mocking that guy?
-
And it's only the first round....
-
Never said any of that, thanks again or putting words in my mouth. According to you Mike Trout would of been "the guy with a .220 BA .281 OBP" in his rookie year.
-
His career rate is not 13.3%.
-
Gose is not going to walk this much, and Pillar is going to hit more (than he has).
-
That's pretty low putting words like that in my mouth. I said I'd prefer larger sample size, I also said expect performance drop in majors. I'd prefer that over looking at 100 PA sample sizes to evaluate a player.
-
Not really since as I said the last couple seasons in AAA his OBP dropped. And you're still not accounting for major league performance drop. I expect a slash line of .240 .300 .310 might be realistic... would you be happy with that (.610 OPS)?
-
It's barely 100 PA DUDE!! ..... not to mention the kid sacrificed any power he ever had to get OB more. Bottom line: He's playing over his head and he still sucks offensively.
-
Gose OBP in the minors last 2 seasons .316 and .311, respectively - that's very bad for a guy with his speed. Gose OBP this year doesn't appear to be sustainable and with the poor slugging I'm rather concerned about him being able to contribute at all offensively going foward. Why would anyone expect this to continue, I have no idea?
-
Downs hasn't really been used as a loogy throughout his career. These guys are basically identical. But since we can't use Loup everyday, maybe there's some rationale in picking him up?
-
Snider was actually pretty good early in his career until he got jerked around to no end. As I said though, some performance drop off is expected.
-
Nah, I suspect he uses alt accounts to rage/freak out. He needs to stay professional with his admin account. People don't change.
-
Disagree. I'd go with larger sample minor league stats over scattered small sample major league stats any day (accounting for some performance drop in minor league stats).
-
Anthony Gose minor league OBP: .335 Pillar: .366 Pillar has looked awful in the majors but I'd still go with the larger sample size then Gose' 113 PA.
-
Peripherals are not awful despite high ERA. But doesn't he do exactly what Aaron Loup does now?
-
Don't disagree at all.
