  1. If they want to help 2027 and beyond they should start his development now. I know all the arguments about next season but I think he should be up here. I want the 26 best players on the roster and I think he is one of them.
  2. He has a lot more upside than any of those guys you mentioned. I guess you prefer the Grays and Kreidlers of the baseball world. You can't sign every starter as a free agent, you need to develop talent to take over and become starters. At some point they have to start doing this or stay in mediocrity forever.
  3. Roden is part of the excess of outfielders that they have. There are 9 outfielders on the 40 man roster and that doesn't include Keaschall, Jenkins or Rosario. They need to clear some space to have enough playing time for everyone. And Roden has not shown that he should be given priority, I am not in favor of giving him another 200 AB's to figure it out at the expense of Keaschall or Jenkins. It was a bad trade, time to admit it and move on.
  4. And you can predict this, can you tell me the Lotto numbers as well.
  5. Or is he showing why he had only 200 AB's coming into the season. Right now we need his defense until Culpepper is healthy but he is not the answer as the every day shortstop. He needs to be the utility guy for the rest of the season, get Culpepper healthy.
  6. Varland was not an all star at the time of the trade. And acquiring made no sense especially after they acquired Outman. He has had 200 ab's in the major leagues with a batting avg of .191 and OPS of .544, what screams he needs to be playing ahead of players like Keaschall or Jenkins. I don't understand this fascination with Roden, he will be 27 before next season and Toronto basically came to the conclusion that he was not a major league player. He has had three different stints in the major leagues and just has not done anything. Someone in his position needs to produce quickly or he is not going to get another opportunity and that point should be coming soon.
  7. I stand corrected and he has only been on base because of the errors and one walk. He has yet to hit one out of the infield.
  8. Look at who is hitting, Roden has done nothing in the major leagues, here or Toronto. And Luke is almost 4 years younger. I am not hitching my wagon to Roden.
  9. He is 0 for 4 and only one should have been a hit. He is not even hitting .200 in almost 200 AB's in the major leagues. He has a lot of guys coming up behind him with more upside.
  10. This official scorer doesn't even try to hide his bias. I feel like others make some effort to have one or two against their team, this guy doesn't even try.
  11. He has a very short timeline to show something. Right now he is profiling to be a fourth outfielder at best.
  12. They do need to use him in these situations, you just can't hide someone in the bullpen. I would rather see him than some of the castoffs they have been running out there.
  13. Kreidler's batting average is dropping like a rock, at least he can play defense.
  14. They need to give Keaschall some time at one position and help him get better. His athleticism can help him and I think he can get better. You need his bat in the lineup. I seem to remember similar comments about Arraez and now he is the every day second baseman for San Francisco. And that is because he got some coaching. Not every player comes up a finished product, Koskie was just as brutal when he first came up and he worked himself into a productive third baseman. Maybe show some patience with Keaschall.
  15. And then pulled early again, they love their bulk pitchers.
  16. That play was a 50/50 play to be made, it is not on Lewis.
  17. Playing the infield in has prolonged the inning and cost at least one run so far. Analytics needs to be used in moderation.
  18. What's the over under on how many HR's he hits tonight, 2.5?
