Blue Jays Discussion: 2024 Season - Complete without a great title in keeping with the performance

[Leafin]

Maybe with Guerrero playing 3B this gets Horwitz up at 1B

It’s time they give Spencer a look. Start sitting Turner more and make Vogelbach a dugout attendant, since he looks like a real good teammate

Well, cutting Vogelbach now wouldn’t make sense since you want as many hot bats as possible. Replacing him with Horwitz does nothing at the moment.

Washed up Springer still being a top jersey seller on this team is bad news. Will cloud the organization's judgement when it comes to how they view the player internally even though he is washed as a player.

Disappointed in Jays fans that Davis Schneider is not top 3, considering who is #3.

Nimmala really has no business being in top 100s at the moment. He’s far too raw.

Barger on the other hand should, and honestly Leo Jimenez and Adam Macko should find themselves on the backend of lists too.

Springer's old now but he's been a star player for a long time - not sure why it's a bad thing to want his jersey

Good grief, one guy got suspended for a year for making $100 in bets and winning $22. How f***ing stupid can people be? Ruin your career for $20.

He wasn't even good at it

There doesn't appear to be an injury so is this a DFA for Vogelbach? Or Biggio optioned?

 

[Suntouchable13]

That’s fine if Vladdy becomes like Jonh Olerud, but the guys behind him have to hit. If he is just getting on base via singles and walks, the guys behind have to hit for more power. Who is hitting behind him? Bo and his .600 ops, Springer with his .600 ops, JT with his .600 ops, sometimes Vogelbach with his .600 ops. It’s crap.

I wonder if Clement is an option too.

I presume that Vlad will also being playing a bit more third with Horowitz at first and IKF being the other 3B

Since May 13 Clement has 33 ABs to Biggio's 23 so seems to be a bit favoured right now, but yeah that's a possibility too.


Clement did have a huge hit on Wednesday and a couple RBI.

Clement provides a complimentary platoon with Horwitz. If it wasn’t a Vogelbach DFA (since he’s been performing better), I’d hope Biggio is optioned since he’s becoming more redundant.

Optioning Biggio also prevents having to make a final decision on a player and is the more asset-management friendly choice.

But it means the team is carrying 3 DH/1B on the roster, unless they plan on giving Horwitz some action at 2B as he's played there a little bit in AAA this year.

I think that’s the plan since he’s been playing there lately and there was an article recently about the Jays coaches being tapped in and reaching out to Bisons staff regarding his defensive play.

With Spencer Horwitz on Blue Jays’ radar, could promotion follow? – Sportsnet.ca

Plus he can also play a bit of LF? Which could be the play if they’re more comfortable with Schneider making the more complex plays at 2B.
