Blue Jays Discussion: The Vladimir Guerrero Jr. injury overreaction thread

[Fantomas]

Warp thinks he's been just fine.

That's good. Guerrero is definitely way too young to be outright dismissed and sent to first base.

Watching Aaron Nola makes me miss 2016-Sanchez.

And by "miss" i mean "get pissed off at whoever is responsible for him randomly disappearing".

 

[Anthrax442]

Thats the end of Nola

for the record, unlike hitting, there's no reason a prospect shouldn't develop his defense at the mlb level.

 

[zeke]

while everyone is excited about Nola, Garcia may be on track for the better outing.

Good point, although I have a difficult time overcoming my bias against chunky third basemen.

Meanwhile Juan Uribe was elite at the position lol

I blame Josh Thole. I mean he was on the 2016 roster and then he left and Sanchez went all to hell.

I don't think that's a coincidence.

Gentlemen, I have seen the enemy

MLB.com's latest mock draft has us taking Kelenic. We seem to be hot and heavy on prep outfielders: Scott, Schnell, etc.

12. Blue Jays: Jarred Kelenic, OF, Waukesha (Wis.) West HS

Every Draft has a guy who seems to be considered by several teams, but doesn't quite make it to their top choice, and this year that may be Kelenic. The best high school hitter available, he may not be able to overcome the preference for collegians at the top or for prep arms right ahead of Toronto. If he's gone, the Blue Jays are on more prep bats such as Gorman, outfielder/wide receiver Jordyn Adams (North Carolina) and others who could drop into the 20s if they don't go 12 or 13: shortstop Xavier Edwards (Florida), third baseman Jordan Groshans (Texas) and catcher Noah Naylor (Canada).

I wonder if Griffin Conine makes it to pick 53, and if he did, whether we would take him. Power-hitting outfielder and another legacy player.

M's DFA Motter. I'd have interest. Can play all OF positions and a decent 3B.

Romano promoted to Buffalo. Bisons roster really taking shape now and the preaching of depth is becoming discernible.

 

[canucksfan]

I find this tweeter feed good for promotions/demotions.

Warmoth is on the DL. No promotion with K Smith yet.

He's pitching well so far too. There are some nice pieces at AAA which the franchise didn't have last year.

He's only being called up for today's doubleheader. Will be back with New Hampshire after the start

Some decent "young/long term depth" in Buffalo re: starting pitching which is needed very much.

Borucki
Reid-Foley
Romano

Pannone likely coming back next month or early July.

Jackson and Zeuch in AA.

Still need help to build up that depth.

Well that's somewhat disappointing, but I expect a full time promotion sometime in June.

Mayza, Santos, Isaacs, Snead, Young (Happy B-Day), Shafer, Fisk. Some underrated bullpen depth in there.

Also if Patrick Murphy goes to the pen his FB/CB could be a legit combo.

 

[canucksfan]

Perdomo could be a good bullpen option too if he doesn't make it as a starter. Doing very well in Dunedin. SHould be promoted soon to AA.

I would bring Martin back, if he wants, in 2020. Obviously for much cheaper. If he's willing to take a cheap one year deal, why not?

Because he’s not very good anymore. Bring him back as a coach

I have a feeling we’ll deal Happ to the yanks at the deadline. They would be a good team to trade with because of the prospects they have. Not saying happ is bringing in a top end prospect but he should net a good return.

who replaces Happ? will trading him really improve the team?
