Blue Jays Discussion: Waiting for people to get healthy

[canucksfan]

Jojo Parker hit a homer. He has been fairly good in his last few games. The biggest weakness I have read from him at the plate is that he has been too passive.

I know there is a lot of underperformance. This isn't about a bad for bad contract it's a would you just take on the bad contract.

Well hypothetically if there’s a salary cap (and floor), we may see several teams interested in taking him on for free just to get to the floor.

I kind of don't want to trade for deadline players since we are starting to finally develop legit talent lol, but if they are controllable beyond this year I guess it's all good

if we are acquiring an angels pitcher, I'd prefer Detmers over Soriano

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Call me weird but being on the fringe of a horrible AL doesnt inspire much confidence that we can make a run just because everyone else in our league is ass.

I mean you asked if there was hope? lol it has obviously been a shitty first half of the season....the hope is that despite the shit start, we are a game out of the playoffs. No guarantees that it does turn around...but in other years they could already be dead and buried by now.

Might be your best hitting prospect at the moment.

Wished we went after him last year when his value was all time low.

 

[phillipmike]

Sigh of relief that he doesn’t go to the Yankees or a contender to learn our staff.

I noticed that Dub Gleed got promoted recently to AA. With the Marlins system he had limited power. His ISO since May was about .200. I know when he started off with Vancouver he had limited power so I’m assuming some tweaks with his swing or approach has helped.

Not lumping him in with the Schreck, Pinango, Valenzuela, etc. group but the Jays have been getting low ranked prospects and improving them.

Edit: just saw that Daniel Guerra is on the seven day IR

Gleed hit a homerun tonight for New Hampshire in only his 3rd game in AA

It's good that he's improving. I'd hate to have to banish him to the spice mines of Kessel.

I was looking at stats the other day and the Jays system seems to have had a fairly noticeable jump in slugging for a number of prospects.

I would guess it was deliberate on the Jays part to work out a trade with a 'far away' team rather than let him hit waivers.

Overall, it has been a great first half for the Jays' farm system. Not including injuries, the biggest disappointment has been Stanifer. Besides him, though, I can't think of any. Maybe Clase?

Stance is noticeably different than the start of the year. Wonder how much that's him from struggling or was a change made by coaching staff that caused him to struggle/adjustment period

Some good but some bad ideas

He’s been a top 10 player by wRC+ across all minor league levels this year (among players with 200+ PAs).

NCAA trying to strong arm themselves into the picture, and 12 rounds is far too few to fill out organizational depth needs.

They probably want to further reduce the number of minor league affiliates.
