OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

Asstander promoted to the 2-hole today.

not going well, shockingly.
He says he's hurt and cant swing for much power, so he's trying to be a contact guy which in no way he is.

Like you have a guy who is a one trick pony ( over 40 HR with only 800 OPS is hard to do). He doesn't really walk, or make contact, or field or run, and thats fine when he's mashing, but he cant mash. DL the guy and call up Roden, Santander is basically the worst regular in the majors at the moment. I fucking hate these idiots so god damn much
 
Asstander now ranks 13th on the team in wRC+ - i.e. the worst hitter of our arguable best healthy roster.

* 1. LF Lukes 130
* 2. 1B Guerrero 133
* 3. DH Springer 130
* 4. SS Bichette 108
* 5. 3B Barger 104
* 6. C Alejandro 99
* 7. CF Varsho 104
* 8. RF Straw 92
* 9. 2B Clement 73

* B. UT Santander 65
* B. OF Clase 93
* B. IF Gimenez 67
* B. C Heineman 173

worse than Asstander:

* Schneider 53
* Roden 52
* Wagner 52
* Stefanic 25
* Sanchez -13
 
not really watching the jays but I see all those 24 year old prospects they traded for last year are making an impact.
 
interesting to look at at least.

Since the trades:


Guys who reached MLB:

* OF J.Clase 23 - MLB: 61pa, 128wrc+ --- AAA: 252pa, 94wrc+

Just turned 23 this month, so very young for all his levels so far. Looks to have real mlb upside, though he might not stick fulltime yet.

* IF W.Wagner 26 - MLB: 154pa, 93wrc+ --- AAA: 61pa, 147wrc+ - (injured for the past month)

Really like this guy but after a great start last year he stunk to start this year then got injured.

* OF J.Loperfido 26 - MLB: 144pa, 61wrc+ --- AAA: 194pa, 106wrc+

Never liked this guy. Not surprised to see him be bad.


Guys who reached AAA:

* RHP J.Bloss 24 - 51.0ip, 147era-, 118fip-, 118xfip-

Hasn't actually turned 24 yet, but will next month. So he's still been young for his levels. But he's been terrible since the trade, which is his only AAA experience. He was dominant at all the other levels before Houston fastracked him to MLB for some emergency starts tho. But now he's blown out his elbow so he's gone for a year.

* IF J.Rivera 24 - AAA: 93pa, 119wrc+ --- AA: 161pa, 30wrc+

Hilariously useless in AA, but then bumped to AAA due to injuries and has been good. maybe a future as a bench IF.


Guys who reached AA:

* OF Schreck 24 - AA: 259pa, 163wrc+

I like this guy, but he's old for that level. No reason for him to still be in AA tbh. Jays are holding onto some older mediocrities in AAA right now that are kinda blocking up the system. A bit annoying.

* OF Y.Pinango 23 - AA: 309pa, 123wrc+

Just turned 23 this month. Not really old for the level yet but really should be promoted to AAA as well already.

* IF C.McAdoo 23 - AA: 283pa, 75wrc+

Huge dissappointment for me. He was putting up near elite numbers at each level, including AA, with pittsburgh, and then immediately imploded after the trade. He was so bad that they finally had to send him down to the florida complex to try and sort out his swing - good news is that in the 3gms since he came back from that stint he has a 208wrc+. so maybe there's some hope still.

* IF E.Paulino 22 - AA: 113pa, 106wrc+

Holding his own at the appropriate level.

* IF J.Harry 22 - AA: 84pa, 69wrc+ --- A+: 160pa, 101wrc+

Not terrible but not good either.

* C J.Sharp 23 - AA: 79pa, 47wrc+ --- A+: 96pa, 102wrc+

Really struggling this year. And a bit old for the level.


Guys who reached A+:

* IF C.Coffey 21 - A+: 259pa, 88wrc+

Just holding his own. Struggled last year while young for the level but is about league average this year at the appropriate age.


Guys who reached A:

* RHP G.Batista 20 - A: 57.3ip, 78era-, 114fip-, 81xfip-

Looks like a legit prospect here.
 
Should probably also include 24yr old RP Braydon Fisher, who we got in the pre-deadline trade of Biggio.

Great arm. the one worry spot on his milb record was too many walks - but he's had that under control this year in both AAA and MLB. If that's a real improvement and not just a blip, he might be real good for us.

most everything is decent to good so far except......Santander, Gimenez, Scherzer, who have given us zero value.

If anyone ever needed a reason to fire these fucks, every non bullpen major addition has been a complete bust and the only forgivable one is Max. The other two could be long term nightmares
