There’s some truth in this. I also can’t remember a player as hyped as Fatty G fail so badly. It makes the franchise look awfully bad. Truth is there is nothing less entertaining to watch than a team that can’t score runs.
Can someone guess when Fatso 1st baseman will hit another HR ? His launch angle issues are getting worse not better. He must be super untalented considering all the “work” put in.
Couldn’t the Jays try the waiver approach in April with Vlad ? If a club grabs him, they also need to pay the remainder of the inflated salary. Plus we get to see what Horowitz can do. Start fresh with new players.
It’s how far Fatso has fallen that surprises even an extreme pessimist like myself. This one in a generation prospect can hardly even make loud outs or get the ball in the air. Making the ASG would be vomit inducing. Like here’s an all star 1st baseman with a sub 700 OPS ?
Time to part ways with Fatty G, he’s basically a below replacement level bat playing 1st base and costing 20 M, an epic disaster. Horowitz couldn’t possibly be worse at a fraction of the cost.
The concerning truth with Fatty G is that he is unable to hit mistake pitches, centre cut fastballs at 90mph, the kind that good hitters destroy. Why does this team tolerate this, it just doesn’t make sense.
Who cares. This is supposed to be a team game. He can tantrum on another team. Being the greatest bust of all time on my Jays has ruined the baseball watching experience. He needs to go ASAP or be hidden down in the lineup where he belongs or sit on the bench.
Cut bait ASAP. Fatty G is still respected around the league, he won the derby and came in runner up another year. He just hasn’t mastered MLB level pitching. Some dumb team might think there’s hidden talent and pay a haul. He’s also being paid too much for the return.
On another level for years to come too. One way to improve is to remove Fatso from the lineup and call up Horwitz. Maybe we can trade Fatso to the Angels. Their GM is dumber than ours.
