badams Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Good to see. The Jays will make some moves and finish 3rd in the East. Everything will be good in the world of baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badams Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 They are sort of like the Atlanta of old but instead of 13 1st place finishes they like to slide into 3rd place. Pun intended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal Johnson Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Shannon Stewart! Hes good. Remember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LXQ42 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Do you think he's an "off the bench" guy? Or a platoon with Vernon? Pinch runner? I know it's a minor league contract, but he'll make the big club for sure! I'm getting quite excited about the team this year. Eckstein and Rolen, a healthy rotation, and some great bats! Whoot!

Hal Johnson Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I think he'll make the club for sure. They're selling it as though he'll platoon with Stairs, but I dunno. he's either gonna beat out Stairs or Johnson outright for the starting everyday gig.I really like this move cuz even though he's old hes got some speed left in him and he hit 290 last year. Either way, awesome depth move, but Johnson wont be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Don't forget Stewart's horrendously weak throwing arm. With a team gearing-up as one of the best defensive teams in the league, his arm will be a constant worry if he beats out Johnson in left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmelbatoast Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 The Stewart move is retarded.He is a liability in the field, he has had so many hamstring injuries over the years that he can't run anymore, Johnson was a free agent, if they weren't happy with him then they shouldn't have signed him for 3 mil a season. Also, I don't see anyway that Stairs and Lind aren't ahead of Stewart on the depth chart. It's pointless. Meanwhile, they still don't have a starting catcher.And Hal, how do you figure Hill bats 9th?

LXQ42 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) Don't forget Stewart's horrendously weak throwing arm. With a team gearing-up as one of the best defensive teams in the league, his arm will be a constant worry if he beats out Johnson in left.That's why I think he should come off the bench. He's still got a great bat. Pinch hit, run, stay in the game for Johnson. Plus, both he and Stairs are older guys, to only play each of them for half a game at a time might be better over the whole season for longevity, injuies, etc...

LXQ42 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Meanwhile, they still don't have a starting catcher.I really think they are going to stick with Zaun as a starter. At least to start the season. Don't know too much about Barajas, but I like what people are saying about his thrown out percentage. They will be an interesting tandum.

LXQ42 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 and for Fun:HalidayBurnettMarcumMcgowanJanssen?Not too shabbyNot to shabby at all....I would prefer to see the Gus Chachin from a couple of years ago re-emerge, but I don't know if it'll happen. Give Litch some time to kick ass in triple A, He can come up if he has to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmelbatoast Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Zaun is not a starter. He has no arm and below average offensive abillity.Janssen shouldn't be in the rotation, he was too good in the bullpen last year. Litch and Chachin should battle it out for the 5th spot.

Meanwhile, they still don't have a starting catcher.And Hal, how do you figure Hill bats 9th?Stewart is a career 298 hitter. He stole more bases last year (11) than Johnson has in his past 3 or 4 seasons as a Jay. Johnson is also very injured so having this type of depth is SMART.I have a bet with cully that Stairs hits 260 with 14 HR's this year. Again, smart to have Stewart.Hill can only bat 7,8, or 9, I just think hed be better at 9 cuz he'll get on base more for the top of the order. He could maybe bat 2nd someday.I like the Stewart deal b/c the Jays OF is oft injured. I also think he has something left in the tank. We'll have to see how it plays out.

Whitey Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Zaun is brutal, the entire MLB knows that you can run on him any time runners are on base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Zaun's the type of guy the MLB would LET take steroids. Seriously, no one would care at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I don't like Zaun's arm, but there's more to catching than throwing out runners. He handles pitchers on a good pitching staff like Doc really well and has a decent bat. Of course he's a liar regarding that cheque of his, but he's a decent two-dimensional catcher.

Hal Johnson Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Ill agree that he calls a good game - but not good enough to keep him as a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
