Seems like the Keefe system is going just as well.
- mykokes

aren't they doing a lot of communication between the big team and the Marlies, to make sure similar roles are developed?

Travis won't be ready for awhile. He shouldn't be in the conversation.
- mykokes

He should be back in April.

They are doing really well and Brown is still out.

Loov and Percy have been lights out on D. Very promising.

He should be back in April.
- daeth

said 5 months. He won't have Spring Training. Will go to AAA for a few weeks after he comes back.

I didn't say that lol.

I didn't include any season in which he played 0 games and I excluded his first year where he barely played any games. If anything I helped his numbers.
- daeth

Gotcha, sorry for jumping to conclusions. 9 year average = 118 game/season. But still, saying he needs to be lucky to play 110 when his career avg is 118? He's just as likely to play 150 than he is 50.

Honestly, I was scared to look at any Chavez numbers. I don't get this move at all unless TLC knows something everyone else in the world doesn't.

it feels like the same conversation that was had about Estrada last off season

so far one of your replacements played 62 games..if you are playing the injury thing

Tulo/Goins is far better than Goins/Travis
- senstroll

Yeah except I said trade him if that is what it takes to keep Price.

So..

Goins/Travis/Price >>>>>> Tulo/Goins/some stiff

Travis is for sure as much of an injury concern as Tulo. Never suggested otherwise.

Yeah it's just as dumb as the "pts per 60" stat.

It's designed to make certain players look better than they really are.
- Pecafan Fan

The stat should be sponsored by Spanx.

They could sign another decent pitcher at less $.

4-5 months. 5 months has him back in late april, though with AAA games that does put him into may you're right

May 1st likely.

Or sign Price and keep Tulo too. That might be possible. I don't know what their budget is.

Have you checked out Chavez's numbers away from his home pitchers park in Oakland the last couple years?



Expect a high 4 low 5 ERA unless the Jays know how to fix him.
- daeth

Does Chavez do well at Dodger Stadium?

Yeah except I said trade him if that is what it takes to keep Price.

Goins/Travis/Price >>>>>> Tulo/Goins/some stiff

If the Jays are considering signing Price, and money is needed.. you move something else

I dont think its even a debate

Measure from 12/13 to today and sv% ...

Bernier 917%
Reimer 916%

14th and 15th amongst goalies who've started atleast 100 games during that stretch.

Pretty average.
- The Law

At this point, I'll take average.

Yes - could see Bautista traded..

I don't like having 3 starters in the rotation that throw under 90mph

Ya but just because I get lucky 4 nights out of 7 doesn't mean that I won't consider it lucky to get lucky tonight.


**also, this is purely hypothetical. I am 'married' with children so I don't really get lucky.

- senstroll

I don't think so - he was pegged as a long relief spot starter, which I thought was fine because it was in return for Lind. In this case, it's in return for a 26 year old long reliever/possible 5th starter who can touch 97, had a solid season, and is under cheap control for 3-4 more years.

He should be back in April.
- daeth

Can't change his routine til he has a bad game. She knows the deal.

Gibbons lost faith in Hendricks for some reason.

- Sammich

There's the argument that having a knuckleballer in your rotation helps the guy who pitches next: it throws off the opposition team's batters' rhythm.

At this point, I'll take average.
- Atomic Wedgie

Average probably gets us back into the Matthews discussion.

The fact they're better than half the league is scary.

lately he's more likely to play 50 than 150 i'd say and to pull a Fox with the turf especially that's true.

avg is 98 games over the last 4 years
