Blue Jays Discussion: The official Davis Schneider Appreciation Society

[TheMadHatTrick]

Okay, do I sound crazy for kinda wanting the Jays to sign JD? He can still hang at 3B and is at the very least a contributor vs LHP. I feel like he could fit that Espi role much better sans pinch running.

Can't hurt. Might be like when Yankees brought in Carpenter for a few months and he got hot.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

I'll keep it in mind for another time. I'll be driving in so will only have a couple.

Go train for me .. as i get older driving and parking downtown gets to be a pain

LAA traded their #3, 7, 9, 18 prospects for Giolito/Grichuk/Lopez less than a month ago. Holy hell, what a disaster for that franchise.

Hunter Renfroe is interesting, though. Has been in a slump since the ASB but is the sort of RH 4th OF/DH power bat that this team seemed to most need at the deadline and isn't too far off Teoscar as a player.

Corona bar in top deck in let field .. get there a bit early and sit right on overhang .. could not believe it but for 20 best seats we have ever had with amazing views and you have a table in front for drinks and food .. bring a kid to run to bar to keep da Corona coming in hard .. and they don't stop beer early like rest of Dome .. those renos are damn good idear

I love those standing room spots. I have four great seats in Dunedin and rarely sit in them since the renovation. We stand/sit in the CF flight deck or one of the tables

 

[GreytWun]

Matt Moore please.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

Grichuk could be interesting just to handle the orioles.. guy damn nearsingle handidly destroyed them while he was with us.

might be a good idea if we can keep him out of the outfield

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

LOL the Angels are something else. What a disaster

Moore and Lopez would look good in any pen, Giolito wasn't a mess before coming to LAA, no idea what happened to Renfroe's power but maybe getting out there will help, and Grichuk can mash LHP

I can legitimately see all of these guys getting claimed. For the Jays, I'd be interested in the relievers

 

[trellaine201]

Maybe Boston claims a bunch? Not sure what their OF or P looks like but not much of a gamble for them IMO.

 

[Puckstuff]

Well that experiment didn't last long. I gotta think some of these guys get claimed.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Wait, wut? Just hoping someone claims them so save a few bucks of cash? Has this been a route any team has ever taken? Buying and then waiving their acquisitions less than a month later? I know we just did it with De Jong but that's different

 

[Discoverer]

Wow, the Angels just get dumber and dumber.

 

[CherryToke]

Don't want Grichuk at all but Renfroe could be a decent bench bat.

 

[jetsforever]

Pretty weird for the Angels to be blowing it up already
Guess they didn't like Giolito's loss yesterday

 

[MS]

Matt Moore please.

I'm confused as to why we'd want relief pitching? Our pen is already lights-out and has Chad Green arriving with the expanded rosters in a couple days.

I’m impatient. When I want to go home, I don’t want to wait around. I always drive down to hockey games as well.
I have lots of time in my life to drink, I don’t find I really need to at a game.

 

[Patmac40]

Oh man, Harrison Bader just waived.

 

[Dr.Funk]

I'd take a flier on one of the OF and send Espinal packing

 

[tmlfan98]

Including Bader who also just got waived, here's how I'd rank all these guys in terms of how well they would fit this team's needs:
1. Grichuk
2. Bader
3. Renfroe
4. Moore
5. Lopez
6. Giolito

For the bad side platoon Bader wins over Grichuk tbh. Then add in his plus defence and baserunning and he would be a no brainer bench option. Not sure he makes it to us in the wire though.

I prefer Grichuk because of his outfield versatility but really it's 1A and 1B between those 2. Renfroe because he only plays RF/1B/DH I was tempted to rank below Moore but this team really needs more bats that hit lefties well. Reynaldo Lopez sucks in high leverage this season but extra bullpen depth never hurts.

Other than the fact that he's always hurt, Bader is a perfect fit. He's always hit lefties really well and is doing it again this year. You could sit Kiermaier or Varsho against lefties without taking much of a defensive hit.

Renfroe has always hit lefties until this year. I would probably still take a chance on him.

Still not sure how I feel about Grichuk.

The pitchers, though... there just isn't room for any of them.

I'll be quite surprised if Bader makes it to us. Boston earlier today just lost their starting CF in Jarren Duran for the season with a toe injury and the Red Sox have priority in terms of selection. I'd be shocked if they don't put in a claim.

 

[red devil]

Twins and maybe the Red Sox are the only American league teams have waiver priority that are in a playoff race.
