I suppose thats ok

For a Thursday....

I’d love to hear an explanation from AA about why he wasn’t just activated from rehab.

by Tom Dakers on Jul 22, 2010 11:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

snider not being activated

he has not been activated because he is not eligible to be activated for 10 days since being optioned down…. he is not on rehab assignment, he has been optioned down…. look for him to be called up after the 10 days or after Bautista (if) gets traded or after trade deadline….

by hugiman on Jul 23, 2010 10:40 AM EDT up reply actions  

No, Tom knows that.

He is referring to why he was optioned down in the first place after his rehab starts ended and why not just put on the active 25 man roster.

Including

a rare 2-RBI infield single.

The runner on 2nd was Mastroianni and he is so fast that he just rounded 3rd base assuming the throw would end the inning but it was in the dirt and bounced around so he scored as well.

by NHfishercatsfan on Jul 23, 2010 12:01 AM EDT up reply actions  

definitely a possibility

only question is how much he’ll hit in the majors. He’s hitting for more power this season (though he still has a very low ISO), but keep in mind he’s 24 and is repeating AA. I’m a big fan of his, though.

If he doesn’t make it as an everyday mlb hitter, he’s still got great value as a defense-first fourth outfielder and speed option off the bench

Damn straight

He’s been unfairly saddled with the “4th outfielder” moniker, but I’ll go to my grave insisting that he would make a better lead-off guy than Fred Lewis, at this very moment. I wonder if they’ll ever give him a chance/long look…perhaps in spring training.

He draws walks, he steals bags efficiently (and at a respectable volume)…he’s a hard-nosed grinder who could be a real catalyst for the Jays.

hustle, heart, grit etc etc etc

Defending Fred Lewis

I’d be careful about insisting that a AA player is at this very moment better than a major leaguer who has already accumulated 1.4 WAR so far this season.

Yes, Fred Lewis does not draw walks nor steal bases. What he does do is hit for a decent average with pretty good power. Not HR power, but doubles power. He’s also got enough speed to grab extra bases regularly. Think of him as a poor man’s Devon White with a touch of fielding ADD.

by siggian on Jul 23, 2010 11:17 AM EDT up reply actions  

Ease up there

I’m one of the most pro-Mastroianni guys out there but hell fred lewis is a good lead off guy. Prior to Lewis when there were no leadoff guys on the team, Mastroianni absolutely would’ve been the best lead off guy we had.

Meh

It’s alright, I guess.

Ball.

by Casusby on Jul 23, 2010 12:17 AM EDT up reply actions  

i feel lied to lol
I checked the box after the GLC game and it said Sanchez went 7.1 with 10 Ks
i was suprised to see him go so long but really happy with the K’s.. error on their part

by FenixL on Jul 23, 2010 12:23 AM EDT reply actions  

Ahah

I did the exact same thing.

Best thing that can happen in the second half.

Would be Snider going on an absolute rampage when he comes up..I think that could be the start of the crowds coming back.

by ABsteve on Jul 23, 2010 9:01 AM EDT reply actions  

. . .

And dumping Overbay for Wallace, who is also hitting very well at AAA. Plus Arencibia, good lord I’m repetitive, but I just don’t understand what we’re waiting for? Trade these bums for ANYTHING and let’s get cookin’!

by Original Aaron on Jul 23, 2010 9:17 AM EDT reply actions  

And Overbay who has been hitting well at the MLB level?

And I am sure they are trying to trade these guys, but this was the plan all along.

I stumbled upon this stat for Wallace

Bases Empty, .333
Runners On, .257
Scoring Position, .231

Remind you of anyone? *cough*vernonwells*cough*.

You know the more I think about those stats I begin to think there may be some sort of statistical fallacy.

Given the nature of baseball and how 7+ times out of 10 people are failing at getting a hit it stands to reason that a person majority of at-bats come with the bases empty, then a lesser amount comes with runners on and an even lesser amount with runners on in scoring position.

Given a smaller size of the latter two situations the numbers could be prone to more wild swings then a person’s average with the bases empty. And as such you would be more likely to see lower or higher amounts then the base derived from the Bases empty…..

Does this make any sense? Or am I messing myself up in my head?

by JohnnyG on Jul 23, 2010 9:53 AM EDT up reply actions  

yeah you make sense Johnny

It is one of those stats that has big swings. But there is the ones that will decide someone isn’t a man if he doesn’t hit each time with runners on. I think everyone picks the 7 at bats they think are important and if a guy doesn’t hit 3 times in those 7, he is nothing. Worrying about what a guy hits with runners in scoring position in 20 at bats in Triple-A is something that, I’m sure, makes Bill James regret he he ever started looking at stats.

by Tom Dakers on Jul 23, 2010 11:02 AM EDT up reply actions  

first of all, those Wallace numbers mean less than nothing

second of all,
Vernon Wells career OPS: .802
Career OPS with Runners in Scoring Position: 804.
Careeer OPS with the Bases Empty: .795
Career OPS with Runners on: .809

Try again.

Or on second thought, don’t.

if you check out the Las Vegas Review Journal, there’s a good article on JC Arencibia and what he has done over the last several weeks..
