lol tightly wound, totally anal and annoyingly meticulous. Probably needs the towel patterns lined up, and all the labels front facing, with classical music playing in the background, like that loser husband on Sleeping With The Enemy.
That trade should not be forgiven. Moreno is going to hurt for years. Ross Aikens can throw John Schneider under the bus when it comes to to the decision to pull Berios…. And sure he is right in saying the problem wasn’t pitching. The problem was not scoring. But that trade Gurriel/Moreno for Varsho SHOULD cost him his job. Even on paper that trade makes no sense. Gurriel has the ability to carry an entire team when he gets hot. We gave Arizona too much. I would love to see Gurriel sign with the Jays again.
had his first monster year when he was 25, then almost disappeared for 3 years and wasn't who he is now until he turned 29. Do jays or their fans play the waiting game?I would also trade Vladdy, but I won't say he has a low baseball IQ. I think he is a natural hitting talent. I also think that the Blue Jays are pumping too many numbers into his mind and messing with his natural approach. I do think that he also is a young, inexperienced hitter, who chases success (bad swing and miss).Vlad has low baseball IQ but his skill still allows him decent numbers. His best year was when he was fat. I'd say put a barbecue in the dugout and make him full time dh. Make his only job .280 - 45 - 125 slash line.
He has no value in the field, or trade him with manoah. The only caveat is judge
They did that when they modified the skydome last year and he still hit few home runs. His teammates are tired of him, ice bucket etc. He has no approach at the plate. He motioned for bo to calm down then got picked off.
The maturity is absolutely a problem for me. First it was the Home Run Jacket, then the Gatorade Showers. I don't think the team is tired of him, but I do think they are focusing so much on a small win in June, more then preparing for the playoff run. Now he is only 24, which is young for a team leader in general. Remember Donaldson, Encarnaion were 32, Bautista was 35 in 2015-16, and they all made mistakes with pervious teams. These things take a lot of time and effort in today's MLB. Trout is 32 now, Ohtani is 29, Harper is 30, Judge is 31. Vladdy is still on his rookie contract for goodness' sake.
Well Judge fractured his wrist in 2018 and that kept him to 413 AB's and hampered his swing the rest of the year.The only caveat is judge
Vladdy is actually a Gold Glove candidate at 1st.Vlad has low baseball IQ but his skill still allows him decent numbers. His best year was when he was fat. I'd say put a barbecue in the dugout and make him full time dh. Make his only job .280 - 45 - 125 slash line.

Guerrero is not a leader, but I am convinced that if you surround him with the right protection in the order both before, and after, he will hit hit 40+ easily.
The problem is that Atkins and Shapiro aren't there to win ball games. Yes, if they do win great. That's a bonus. But remember that they are basically businessmen and Managers, Directors, VPs of a division of ROGERS, and ROGERS only cares about money in and money out.
They can hope all they want. I'm pretty sure that Atkins and the Prez worked together on what Atkins was going to say at his press conference.
