Pillar has promise but he swings the bat like Woody Allen. His faulty mechanics don't allow him to make decent contact, Gose is struggling as well but his mechanics are better developed. Neither of them will be able to drive the ball with brute strength like Edwin Encarnacioooooooon.
Well saxon, at least you've given him a fair shot.
I agree. I think the manager and coaches need to keep morale high, analyze why certain players aren't performing up to expectations, etc. Its interesting that the Dodgers have a dozen or so ex players on their coaching staff. Some very renowned ones such as Mattingly, Honeycutt, McGwire, Lopes, Wallach and on. Even Sandy Koufax is in some special capacity. Have to believe these guys are more effective than the Jays staff.
Even with more money I don't think Cano would agree to play at the Rogers Centre. Cano would prefer grass at Yankees over the 'stupid' field turf the Jays playing on right now.
Even if we have Cano, we won't make the playoffs. We need a surplus of good pitching. This team just sucks right now in all directions. Our pitching sux, our defence sux, our hitting sux.
Cano is a Yankee for life, ala Jeter, Rivera, Mantle, Posada, Williams. The chance of him ever in a BJ uniform is zero.
The joke is that during training camp I heard Bautista say, "I don't see what can go wrong".
They will never again beat the Yankees. Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox called Ruth who was traded to the Yankees. And as he stood on the caboose of the New York train, he cursed the team which had traded him and the City of Boston and told them they would never again beat the Yankees in the playoffs or win a World Series title until the millennium had fully passed.
