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

[red devil]

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.

Oof, didn't realize the 5 year thing.

His first 2 years were so promising but the last 4 have basically been barely over replacement level. Walks are way down, average continues to be down, power is down, SBs are down.

Probably saved his job with a late blip last year but he's been back to the same non-contributor he was for most of the year last year too.

Bye Cavan

Kind of a weird move, but he isn't amazing
Hope it doesn't backfire

 

[Eyedea]

Wouldn’t be surprised if they find a deal for him in exchange for some depth pitching.

I doubt this backfires. It isn't that hard to find serviceable backup middle infielders.

Alright alright Houston, we will give you Biggio and Clement for Bregman.

2.7 fWAR in 770 PA over the last 3 seasons. After a brutal 2021, he's settled in as a league average player in a part time role. There's plenty of value to that, and I like Biggio, but they need someone with more of an offensive ceiling rather than another versatile guy without a real strength.

They won't get much, but I expect someone will trade for him. Hopefully he finds a team that can find a way to convince him to swing at hittable pitches.

 

[MK78]

Yeah it was just a matter of time. he has barely been used except in pinch running roles lately.

Yeah, he had promise and had some flashes, but consistency was just never there.

Here’s hoping he’ll get the TJ velo buff.

Manoah has been such a useless asset since that really good year.

Tampa Bay will have him in the All-Star game next season

So who plays RF when Springer needs a day off?

Varsho making the push for 3 Gold Gloves.

 

[PanniniClaus]

I liked Biggio - I understand the decision.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Really? So far we have never seen Varsho in RF. I did not know that was an option.

 

[Discoverer]

Arm strength is the one drawback, but he played there a bunch in Arizona and his defensive numbers were equally ridiculous.

 

[red devil]

He played 71 games in right field with Arizona in 2022. He actually didn't play any left field in with Arizona in 2022.

 

[trellaine201]

Should have played Calvin much more playing time. No wonder this team is awful. Good for him a free agent. Away from this toxic team and management.

What has he done to deserve more playing time?

This makes it sound like it was ages ago when it was 2022 lol. Sure he was terrible last season, but in his limited appearances this year he was solid enough and trending back up. The injury was just awful timing because he couldn’t build on that month long performance.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Poor Manoah hasn't even gotten to the big deal yet...still career earnings of 6 million or so he should be fine
