Why not?
If the choice is between a 1-game playoff or not even getting a chance at the playoffs, it’s pretty obvious which is better.

What if the Jays are eventually the team who is the first wild card? Won't be so thrilled about it then.
by Vogelscheuche on Sep 24, 2011 7:50 PM EDT up reply actions
why not?
the way it currently stands there’s practically no benefit to winning your division over the WC. with a 1 game playoff, you have to use your best pitcher (and thus are at a disadvantage playing in the “real” series)
But the reality of the wild card
is that it typically is won by a team better than some division leaders, because of the inequality between divisions.
by Playoffs!!!!1 on Sep 24, 2011 7:54 PM EDT up reply actions
but they're not good enough to win their own division
I get your point, but what you’re implying requires no-divisional alignment to fix
I would prefer a 3 game series if the Jays were in it
but for pure entertainment, nothing beats a winner takes all.

I think this has been mentioned before

Andrew Lang
because they need something "funky"
they are essentially “failed” Sps for the most part but disguise their 2 good pitches well for a inning or two (once around the order). My take.
Don't have to pace themselves like starters
So instead of 100 fast balls at 92 MPH, its 25 at 94.
yeah I know that but man these relievers have so many weird looking deliveries. Annoys me for some reason
Yeh but that's why!
Like if Morrow became a closer he could add another 2 MPH to his pitches and get more break on his offspeed by adding a jerk or two. Its mechanics.
A reliever throws as hard as he can, a starter paces themselves.
The deliveries with pauses tick me off…

I think players can learn 1B. Sure you can say a player can never learn 2B or CF, but 1B anybody can learn.

He is having a bad game, but he has been playing sporadically at best since the end of the AAA season. Reports on his defense is that it is solid if unspectacular. Agreed that his upside is not that great, but he is no where near as bad as you make it seem.

Lyle Overbay isn't an insult or stretch
They both had high BA’s in the minors, but David Cooper has shown much more power. (Much higher slugging percentage).
He could hit .280/.350/.450 for his career in the Majors. Sure his defense hasn’t been good this game but in the minors only 6 errors in 106 games. Hes a doubles machine that can hit both sides.
Cooper still hit 20 HR’s 2 years ago in AA. Don’t rule him out for 10 a year in the majors.
i dont know if id rather see him there then lind

We could get some good value for Lind in a trade market
I’m a fan of higher BA and lower HR’s at 1B anyways, we got enough power at RF.
not sure what return we would get for him or edwin

Lind has a team friendly contract, higher upside, etc.
But I’m hoping Cooper is not on the active roster next year.

What makes you think it is even possible he would be?
Of course he isn’t going to get a spot over Lind or EE, so it will be back to the minors unless someone gets injured for sure.

Oh, was just saying because people were suggesting trading Lind.
That would leave Cooper as starting 1b next year barring trades/FA.
by Vogelscheuche on Sep 24, 2011 9:39 PM EDT up reply actions
no it wouldn't
it would make EE the starting 1B
by Playoffs!!!!1 on Sep 24, 2011 9:40 PM EDT up reply actions
I agree with EE owning 1B
and Cooper filling in when they need EE elsewhere (3B,LF)
Never going to happen
Lind will not be traded unless we sign / trade for a big 1B bat.

Agreed. But then again it's AA.
who knows.
by Vogelscheuche on Sep 24, 2011 9:42 PM EDT up reply actions
Highly doubt it
The batting champion sent back to the minors?
1 of the 2 (or 3) are going to get traded. AA doesn’t just jam players in AAA when there is no space (JPA)
Wow the defence is in Anti-Ricky mode

I think this is the worst defensive game I've ever seen.
Not exaggerating.

No. He probably didn't think he was going to get a pickoff.
Cooper’s to blame on that one. He took his time and soft tossed it.

basically grew up playing first base and not learning it recently
by jadedeed2327 on Sep 24, 2011 9:43 PM EDT up reply actions
Was joking. He was drafted as a 1B and has played it every year.

Is this a candidate for most frustrating loss of the year?
Excluding bullpen meltdowns of cource
getting shutdown by random relievers and terrible defense?
yeah close to it but at least Jose hit a HR
