A prospect that had good numbers in Lansing last year but strikes out a lot. As a pure rental I'd rather just run the table with Panik and Espinal, but if the Jays can keep him I'd be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't mind that as long as the price aren't too crazy. So far they haven't been for the Jays. I do worry about outfielder depth long term (I'm assuming Hernandez and Grichuk will eventually revert back to career norms) so losing Conine makes me raise an eyebrow a little. But only a little, because I doubt he projects much higher than say a Fisher or McKinney. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Groshans in the system I can see Martin being pushed to the OF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) Derek Fisher- keep him or not? iirc he was highly touted, but just seems to have not played all that well since becoming a Jay. Edited August 31, 2020 by gurn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a AAAA outfielder to me. No more, no less. When the Jays brought him in I think the hope would be that Hernandez and him would battle for that 3rd outfield spot. Hasn't been much of a battle so far. Keep him as long as you need the depth. Let him go as soon as something better comes along. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 In other words, yes Fisher had promise. You never know what will happen when you let a player go, but in this case I doubt it'll it's been a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His eyelids had already decided, nope missed the ball, emergency closure procedure activated, before the ball hit the glove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Holy cow, just saw the Yankees/Rays highlights. How the umps didn't toss Chapman is beyond me. Kevin Cash was pissed and has every right to be pissed. The umps did the bare minimum to protect his team, presumably because they didn't want to piss off the precious, entitled Yankees.

Yeah...not sure what started all this, but the pitch by Chapman was pretty clearly thrown at the batter's head.....a guy who can throw 100 MPH....

Gurn Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 If the Jays ever figure out how to run the bases, and which base to throw the ball to, they will be a tough team to beat. Villar just made third out in the first after trying to stretch a single into a double, even though he rounded first then slowed down, he then tries to speed up and outrun the throw. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 And the third out of the second inning is a base running mistake by Gurriel. It just keeps happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiznak Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 This is some little league base running from the Jays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Feel like the Jays wouldn't be making the same mistake over and over if they still had a guy like Smoak. He was to the Jays what Tanev is to the Canucks in terms of locker room presence. You wouldn't make the same mistake twice in front of "Dad". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Ah, kids say the darndest things, my when Gurriel hit his 2 run homerun my 6 year old cheered a typical "Yes!" paused for a moment then let out a larger "YESSS!!!! He then proceeded to explain this was really good because Tellez was on first and since he's really slow he'd probably get out if Gurriel didn't hit a homerun.
