If Goins could only hit around .300 he would be an all-star. His defensive abilities and instincts are amazing. He had two great plays today.

There are millions of players like that.

Got that right. There are a ton of great fielders in the minors who can hit the Mendoza line for their lives.

There may be more players who are all stick and no glove.

Millions?

No. Way more guys that can field and not hit. Almost any of them can field, it's the bat that gets them to higher levels.

Millions?

Hyperbole

Liriano re-habbing. Could be back very soon.

Sanchez could be a problem. His injury has basically been a problem since last season and its one of those things that may turn out to be a permanent issue. Sure hope not though.

Liriano getting set to rejoin the team.
He struck out 7 yesterday for Bisons:

Happ arrived in Toronto’s clubhouse yesterday, indicating that he might start Tuesday against Cincy

 

[Insidious Von]

Currently Biagini has earned the right to adjust to starting pitching, when he returns Liriano can go to the bullpen.

Boom Bats has a sense of humour.

And who fills Aaron Sanchez's spot in the rotation?

When I see Smoak's stats I feel like I'm in some bizarro version of the Twilight Zone...

I wondered when he got his surprising extension, if someone in the Jays' system had spotted a flaw in his swing and there were plans to work with him through the winter. He no longer swings predictably at every off speed pitch out of the zone. He has a far better eye. He is far more selective. All this could just be the result of a lot of hard work and excellent coaching.

Hey you guys, Joey Bats is all washed up!!!!!
What should we do with this loser!!!
