Gibby's Contract Altered. Multi Year Deal. No Rollover
Brownie19 replied to TDotttt2005's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
"hey you pair who didn't get the memo about wearing a suit....get on the ends!" -
Have you ever played baseball or pitched?
-
I agree - but it just goes back to the "don't be a dickhead - or there will be consequences" argument. Nobody ever threw at Johnny Olerud b/c he's a beauty who didn't piss anyone off.
-
um....they do. In hockey - they fight him. Society shouldn't have to "accept" dickheads.

There's a very good chance we'll need him as a starter at some point this season (teams typically use 8-10 starters a year). If he's in the pen and the need for him to start arises (which is typically an abrupt need), then you're going to send him down and stretch him out over 3-4 starts....that means its going to take 20+ days for him to be ready to be in the Jays rotation (assuming the transition doesn't hurt his arm and all goes well). That means you'll need 3-4 committee starts (or starts from other AAA guys) in the meantime. I'm not sure his value as our 4th best bullpen arm is worth it...especially if the long term goal is for him to start. I guess if Sanchez is your #6 guy (first guy to step in when needed), and Hutch is in AAA, you can use him while you stretch Sanchez out. That's likely the best case scenario...and is based on the assumption that Hutch is better than the average AAA schmuck or committee approach.

I think MikeM is bang on. The form of retaliation is up for debate. In baseball, it's always been the bean ball. In hockey, it's the big goon punching your lights out. In basketball, it's hay makers and bitch slaps. In football, it's huddles and face masks (seemingly the 15 year major penalty seems to prevent a lot of retaliation in football.....)

I'd prefer the bat toss - ala Machado. #pinetarcosts$$$
-
Yeah, yeah - Jeter won a bunch of GG's at shortstop too when he should have been moved off to 3rd or 2nd too...
-
I guess. To me - SS is to 2nd what CF is to LF. You need more range/arm to play CF & SS....otherwise...pretty similar. Wasn't Goin's better defensively at SS than 2nd base last year? Either way, he didn't look out of place.
-
and how many games did you watch KK play?
-
Ok maybe that's a little too simplistic, perhaps LF to CF is like 2nd to SS. They are similar positions. CF and SS, you need a little more range and a little more arm. Most LFers can't play CF and most 2nd basemen can't play SS. The 2nd best SS is likely significantly better defensively than the best 2nd basemen in the league, same goes for CF. We've separated the infielders forever...why not the OFers?
-
Compare LF to CF.....I think that's a massive difference. Like SS to 1st base. We've always differentiated the infield, which results in either Simmons or Crawford not getting recognized (pre-trade)....while some Adrian Gonzalez is winning a GG at 1st.
-
Wouldn't that be like the 2nd best shortstop complaining he didn't get a GG, while some 2nd basemen, who's worse than him defensively did? LF-CF-RF are different positions, just as SS and 2nd base are IMO. People just don't like change.
-
Time to get your eyes checked.
-
They should show him the pay scale for 4/5 starters vs. 6th inning relief pitchers. If he doesn't go to Buffalo willingly after that - I'm banishing him to the Pillar school of stupidity.
-
KK wins the eye test and the defensive metrics. Pillar is dumn x 100
-
Pillar says delusional stuff like "check the numbers, I'm one of the best hitters on the team". Stroman doesn't stay utterly retarded things like that.
-
This article says Pillar is a patient hitter....author is really earning his pay check...
-
Blue Jays and Edwin have opened contract negotiation talks
Brownie19 replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Yeah I got the impression he means from a fans perpective. I'm strongly against the FO doing anything to please the fans...except winning. -
Says the guy giving a rotation spot to Sanchez based on 15 spring training innings...
-
Inverted W....
-
Happ was the 28th most valuable starting pitcher last year...good god.
-
Does he have options?
