Blue Jays Discussion: Do you want to learn the horrifying truth? Or do you want to see Vlad Jr. sock some dingers!

[Patmac40]

Imagine one of the biggest trade pieces we have losing his value because he had too hard of a massage

 

[trellaine201]

must be serious to keep out of a game, nobody will be interested that much. He was on the DL earlier this year as well. Don’t expect much in return.

[Mach85]

Gotta ask the A's for Puk. Maybe unlikely, but gotta do it.

 

[phillipmike]

The return of the king.

Edwin Jackson

 

[canucksfan]

 

[hizzoner]

Especially his base running...

 

[dredeye]

Long overdue imo. I said a month ago he should be sent down.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

He should be back once Smoak is gone.

 

[metafour]

Remember when scouts and prospect writers were idiots for ranking Cody Bellinger as a top prospect and simultaneously shitting on Rowdy Tellez, even though they had comparable minor league stats, which obviously confirmed that they were equally good hitters?

I feel like he’s our next arencibia. Shows flashes in his introduction and just isn’t very good from that point on

Few guys here were comparing Bellinger’s minor league stats to Tellez

 

[as Pure as Evil]

he's 24 Massive still physically maturing don't be so quick to write him off. I think in the end he will be a staple as our left handed dh Power threat. sure he may need a trip or 2 too aaa to get things back in order but just go back and look and how lgj was looked at prior to his demotion. sometimes these kids just need to go through the wire a few times before they can put it all together. but as bad as he has been at times he still ranks

top 5 in homeruns, rbis, doubles, hits, runs and so on on the team. for a rookie that aint that half bad. but for some reason a group of rookies are getting a lot of expectations put on them considering this is just a developmental year.

but like one said I get the feeling this demotion is to just insure that rowdy is playing everyday while they get smoak his at bats until a trade comes around.

 

[canucksfan]

 

[Leafs at Knight]

So not getting called up this year?

 

[Morgs]

 

[hoglund]

Rowdy Tellez sent down to Buffalo, McKinney to replace him. Wow

 

[Discoverer]

Rowdy Tellez sent down to Buffalo, McKinney to replace him. Wow

Rowdy has been bad. McKinney has played well in Buffalo. Might as well.

 

[BlueForever75]

Tellez power numbers are there but other then that he has been missing. Maybe this demotion can do for him what it did for Gurriel earlier. Lets hope.

 

[ER89]

Rowdy has been bad. McKinney has played well in Buffalo. Might as well.

Dis, who do you think is the best prospect/asset we can get for giles/stroman? Eg; any chance of a guy like puk, tucker, corbin martin? I'd venture that'd be a resounding no but one can dream?

 

[landy92mack29]

with how many arms the Braves have in their system that's the ideal system to target for a Stroman+Giles trade. Hope for Ian Anderson and one of the lefties(Allard/Wentz/Muller). Just block the Yankees number and that's a win of itself

Ten teams that should be calling the Blue Jays about Stroman - TSN.ca

I know the Jays desperately need pitching but I would love to see Frazier in the Jays outfield. From what I have seen from his stints with the Yankees he's a really really good bet to be a success.

 

[Mike Jones]

He should be back once Smoak is gone.

I agree. There just didn't seem to be room for both of them.
