Blue Jays Discussion: Steve Pearce: comeback machine

[canucksfan]

Vlad has 14 BB and 12 SO in Dunedin. I wonder if he has just been a bit unlucky.

He hit a double for the second straight game. He might finally be getting rewarded

 

[canucksfan]

Bo's strikeout rate is 11.5% in Dunedin. Vlad's is 16.9%. Vlad seemed to have had a tougher time adjusting to A ball. Granted he is only 18.

I imagine his average will creep back up over .300 soon

We are kinda spoiled by bichette

Bo's strikeout rate is 11.5% in Dunedin. Vlad's is 16.9%. Vlad seemed to have had a tougher time adjusting to A ball. Granted he is only 18.

but vlad's 8.5% swinging strike percentage is a tick better than Bo's 8.6%, so this is more just vlad being a bit overpatient.

both those numbers are insanely good, of course.

It's pretty funny that Dunedin is winning 12-0 and Bichette is 0/5

It's pretty funny that Dunedin is winning 12-0 and Bichette is 0/5

Finished 0-6. 17-1 Dunedin won.

It's pretty funny that Dunedin is winning 12-0 and Bichette is 0/5

Game finished 17-1


Bichette was 0-6 (no strikeouts)
Guerrero was 1-2 with 2 walks and a strikeout, 2 runs but no RBIs (he was swapped out late in the game)

So the Dunedin Jays scored 17 runs and the Bichette/Guerrero combo accounted for exactly 0 RBI and only 2 runs scored between them.

Nuts to them. All aboard the Riley Adams hype train.

The way Jansen has been rated with the recent prospect reports he should be on the list.

 

[Eyedea]

Nuts to them. All aboard the Riley Adams hype train.

Riley Adams is going to definitely be a tantalizing prospect. JPA vibes, here's hoping his defence doesn't stagnate though.

And before anybody says it, JPA ain't a bad thing. His 70 raw power at the catcher spot was enough to get him on top 100 lists.

I am honestly surprised that there have been no trades made by Toronto so far.

Not any rumours in the last few days either.

 

[Bad News Benning]

Not any rumours in the last few days either.

Probably more active in August.

Most of the guys the Jays would move are guys that would pass through waivers next month. Not a huge rush to move most of these guys.

Lucroy is headed to Colorado

As am i, expected Liriano and Smith to be gone by now.

I alway doubt Zeke and he puts up a higher WAR than i expect but ill doubt him again, if there is a trade offer that makes sense then i move him.

Those Texas deals made last trade deadline where stupid then and even worse now. Giving up Brinson, Ortiz, Tate and more for Beltran (gone), Lucroy (gone) and Jeffries (they want him gone) was stupidity.

They better hope what they get for Lucroy turns out.

8:24pm: A player to be named later is going in return, per ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick (via Twitter). That may suggest it’s a recent draftee that will go back to Texas.

Meh. Doesn't really mean anything.

Want to hear what Pearce's grand slam sounds like with Titanic music in the background?

Of course you want to hear what Pearce's grand slam sounds like with Titanic music in the background!

They got rid of that PTBNL being a recent draft pick no? There was that big issue with everyone and their dog knowing Trea Turner was the PTBNL but he had to stay with San Diego's minor league system who knew they weren't getting any return on him.

The old rule was it had to be a year after the draft but a workaround was you could name the player 6 months after the trade at the most so you could trade 6 months after his draft then reaching the 12 months after the 6 PTBNL months pass. I thought they changed that to a hard you can't trade a recent drafted player until the offseason and no PTBNL nonsense. Just once the offseason is here you can trade them as known players in the trade.

 

[AnAceOfKidneys]

as much as the season is probably done, that was a bit of fun for the team and suffering fans. Good stuff Pearce

 

[Bad News Benning]

I could see the Jays trading a pitcher to Tampa with outfielder Nathan lukes (former indians 7th rounder in 2015) coming back in the return.

Then you factor in the Odor extension and you have a rather bleak last twelve months in Texas.

Meh. Doesn't really mean anything.

When there were no rumors in the Anthopoulos tenure, it was all about "ninja" AA and how he kept things close to the vest.

Now there's no rumors and people fret and worry that it means the Jays aren't doing anything or ponder if there's some deeper significance to it.
