    Perhaps I shouldn't have read this thread in reverse order.....overreaction alert!

    Pillar is (errr should be) a very solid 4th OFer. Good defense, can play all 3 OF positions, runs well, hits lefties.....Nobody should be too upset that he's lined up to start in LF for a couple of weeks...this is exactly what a good 4th OFer does. I also expect Pillar to platoon with Saunders - especially early on when Saunders returns from the DL. That said - if he gets 500 at bats, he'll get grossly exposed (as do most 4th OFers). Fans should get used to him....lets hope he doesn't s*** the bed early on b/c he's the best option we have.

    The first time I read this, I read it as "20-45 is the window and then gravy & metabolism usually wreaks havoc on that body type". Then I actually laughed out loud - although....it kind of works too...you know that body type loves poutine.

    Buyer beware if you're looking long term.....if they have that body at a younger age (say 20-30 years old) - chances are they'll be a lot bigger by 40...Just like Fielder and Sandoval - those bodies break down over time... Fun to play with in the short term though

    TDottttttt - are you also looking forward to the Hooked on Phonics video you ordered? Dig from an old ESPN msg board reg.

    Danny Salazar to AAA. So much for Zach McAllister being this year's Wade Davis.
  7. Brownie19
    O's are moving Gausman to the pen? Dat dumn
  8. Brownie19
    Good news is - he's only a ML backup because he can catch Dickey...I suspect he'd prefer to stick with the organization in hopes that Martin can't catch Dickey and/or in the event Martin got hurt.
  9. Brownie19
    I thought someone said he had options...you mean something I read on the internet could be wrong?

    Delabar to AAA is pretty shocking and disappointing news. We really needed him to rebound. Something seems fishy about this. And this bench we have is abysmal due to injuries and this god damn Navarro/Thole thing. AA needs resolve this nonsense. If we're keeping Tolleson as the utility infielder because he can be a backup OFer, then we're left with nobody who can play SS (Reyes can't play SS anymore for christ sakes). Send Thole to AAA and hope to heck Martin can catch Dickey and keep Goins up to play some defense. You don't spend $85M on a guy and then carry 2 backups for him....god this is stupid.

    I'd tend to agree with this. Plus he has a girly first name.

    I love .gifs. Would be nice if Sanchez could develop that kind of slider/cutter that Graveman has. It compliments the hard sinker so well (better than the big curveball). All 3 of Graveman's pitches start on the same plain - then all do something different.

    Danny Norris walked about 4 per 9 innings last year too....He isn't close to being a finished product either. Why don't we rip on him some more? because living in a hippy van makes him cool and likeable?
  14. Brownie19
    Commanding your fastball and learning a new pitch seem like mutually exclusive events to me. I assume you mean if he's too stupid to learn how to throw strikes, he must be too stupid to learn how to hold a different grip on the ball? I think you meant to say he should be focusing his efforts on improving his fastball command/control. That said - wasn't the fact that he threw basically all fastballs in the majors the reason why he didn't walk as many as he did in the minors?
  15. Brownie19
    This is true - but it's still very hard to comprehend.....I total get what HERPDERP is saying....then again, I used to be a huge White Sox fan back in the day and he may have scarred me for life. I will always bet on Uribe falling back to earth and being well below average as a starting 3rd baseman.
  16. Brownie19
    Have you seen our 2nd base options?
  17. Brownie19
    I suspect this number was pulled from an article about Kris Bryant. I think he just needs to be held back for 9 days to gain an extra year of control. It has nothing to do with Super 2 Arb, which is a money saving exercise...not a control exercise.
  18. Brownie19
    And that's why Tony Batista was one of the best Blue Jay 3rd basemen of all time!!! 41 HR, 114 RBI, 96 R with an wRC+ of 100 32 HR, 110 RBI with and wRC+ of 76 and a WAR of -0.3 (without a huge negative defensively) It takes a special kind of hitter to do that fellas....and Howard's just the type of guy to take a run at those records!
  19. Brownie19
    Why wouldn't we? Same with Norris.
  20. Brownie19
    I thought Guerrero was a hack defensively? I certainly don't think he can play any SS. I too think he'd be a great fit for this team (given our options) - although his contract situation is likely what is holding up a trade. I think he has an "out" clause after this year, so if he's traded to the Jays and does well...he'll likely bolt as a FA and the Jays will have given up something for a 1 year rental. If he sucks, then the Jays would be stuck with him at something like $5M for the next 3 years... I think (FWIW) Turner and Van Slyke would be exposed if forced into fulltime roles.........I think they are great bench guys.

    Freddie?

    The home opener is no place for a family with kids under say 12 years old.
  23. Brownie19
    What small town are you from KingKat? Wasaga Beach here - and I whole heartily agree with you on this.

    The Canada/US WBC game a few years ago at the Dome (the one Canada should have won) was one of the best live events I've ever attended. Raptors playoff games are insane as well. Amazing atmosphere. Jays home openers are just parties. Half the people there are just fair weather fans looking to get drunk and could care less about the game itself. That's not my cup of tea and thus I rarely attend them anymore.

    So fans doing it in the concourse seemed amateur? You don't say...you may want to look up the definition of amateur sir...
