    Trading JoeyBats and/or EE right now to stabilize the future would be a big whiff for the owners and casual fanbase (which factors in to their marketing line). Maybe by next year's deadline depending how the year goes but the Jays need to be a playoff team now with this core for any of these last investments to be seen as worthy from owners. Not to mention to want to invest again in the future. Trading away millions of dollars of invested money which came with the purpose of contending by next year would be an awfully long winded ROI to load up the farm at this stage.

    what a jerk move (referring to both your post and the video)
  3. Governator
    I think we'll be surprised and I can see him getting daily work at first. It's a good solution while we wait for someone to return and it gives us options moving Bautista to either RF or 3B. I don't want to see up and coming pitching prospects moved for a temp solution.
  4. Governator
    Good he should be here.

    I don't know what a platelet rich plasma injection is but it sure sounds high tech. Honestly, I don't like to see Tanaka go down from a sportsmanship perspective. If Buerhle was down earlier this year we'd likely have 4 or 5 more losses on the record too. I like to beat teams who field their best players. You could argue well the Jays are missing x, x, x so it balances out but if Tommy John Surgery is a possibility that does suck for them and we know from experience.

    This is fake. She was from the European version and she won 32,000 pounds. Yes I researched it because I'm that guy.

    Sounds like if a player is worth being platooned vs everyday. Last 3 years maybe, but it depends on plate appearances. Need a large enough sample size.

    Honestly, I think many under value Johnson. He just doesn't get too many chances in the bigs as a first basemen but his 10 year AAA OPS of over .900 is something to give him more at bats with. His last stint in the bigs was in 2012 where he only played in 14 games (what were asking from him now) and he belted a 1.367 OPS during that time. He also walks more than he strikes out.

    Fair, however the point of the post was to get Francisco off the field so my simple minded suggestion was to call up Johnson for the bat and move Bautista over. I think that is a stronger infield than Bautista at 1st and Francisco at 3rd. You can still split Reimold's RF duties with the below: RHP/LHP C Navarro / Kratz 1B Johnson 2B Kawasaki SS Reyes 3B Bautista / Tolleson CF Rasmus / Mastro LF Melky RF Reimold / Bautista DH Francisco / Reimold

    I know he's not a right fielder, not ideal I guess but as a stopgap move until someone returns it's worth testing the waters. At this very moment his bat is worth the risk.

    It just seemed like a logical solution to the G-Snarls 3B fix to get Francisco off the field. Two 1st basemen go down and we put Bautista where he has never played, when instead it makes more sense to put him at a position he's logged a lot of time at and bring up Johnson to play 1st who can replace some of that lost pop. Also, there is less platooning in this scenario. You DH Kratz & Francisco for splits.
  12. Governator
    Because Bautista won't do it or they wouldn't want to risk him there? Or that Johnson isn't going to get called up?
  13. Governator
    As a stopgap, why not? He's logged more career 3B innings than Brett Lawrie and his .959 fielding % there is nearly the same as Brett's .962
  14. Governator
    Dan Johnson to 1st, Bautista to 3rd.
  15. Governator
    boourns
  16. Governator
    Melky has been owning the outfield lately.
  17. Governator
    players know right away.
  18. Governator
    did he get it in the nuts?
  19. Governator
    This is insane... don't get me wrong brutal by Reyes for jogging in and not diving in hard but what... the.. f***.
  20. Governator
    watching it on sportsnet now.
  21. Governator
    At this point I don't want to miss a single Stroman start, glad it's an afternoon game and not a midnight burner.
  22. Governator
    I hope Kratz gets hot quick and when a decision needs to be made, Thole is demoted. He sits on the bench so much his ass cheeks are soon going to be permanently engraved in our bench.
  23. Governator
    108 ERA - I know it was from his 1 game debut but that is amazing lol.
  24. Governator
    He's batting .212 in his last 10, dropping his avg 12 points and being extremely frustrated along the way. I'd say you're in a funk when you repeatedly smash your bat in the dugout when you finally hit a line drive... right to the left fielder. He needs to let off some steam by smashing some bombs at the derby.
  25. Governator
    Pretty sure he set the record for most consecutive starts without a win when he was a Jay, 27 games in a row dating back several years.
