Davidi: Jays to call up Gose if Bautista goes on DL

Not sure, but I think Snider would have to clear waivers if sent back down while Gose doesnt.

AA has something against Snider

No, he wouldn't have to clear waivers. He's on his last option; it lasts through the year no matter how many call-ups.

Ah, but are we sure AA knows that?

Hey, if we're second guessing every potentiality before it even happens, can't I have a go at his basic competency just for poops and giggles?

Gose is not ready yet and Snider is as ready as he is ever going to get. Not sure what the organization has against Snider at this point. No one is expecting Travis to become a star anymore, but he is certainly better than Rajai Davis and at this point a far more realistic RF/LF option than Gose.

bring them both up and get rid of a bullpen piece. Having Gose and Snider as far as that goes would make it intresting to watch for a few games.geez i really hope joey bats aint gone for long it would really put a dent in making the WC spot. and would of been intresting to see were his stats ended up

Totally understand that sentiment but would he do any worse than Rajai Davis? He is at least a better fielder and baserunner (I would hope).

I am Glad that they want to bring Gose. If it turns out he can't hit MLB Pitches, they could try to convert him to a Pitcher.

A Pitcher that can steal bases, and be a defensive replacement. It's an outside the box thought, but they should try it.

Also, why are teams scared of trying it? Isn't a P/PR/defensive replacement more dynamic than a Bullpen pitcher? Instead of having to decide if you want an extra bullpen arm or bench player, you could go with the 2 for 1 approach.

been refreshing google news to see if there are any updates on Jose's injury but nothing yet :-?

I'm sure calling up Gose as opposed to Snider has everything in the world to do with, that when Snide's get's the call back up, he's here to stay. Now I wouldn't mind seeing him over Rajai in left field, but I'm not sure the orginization is at that point yet... as such, it's Gose over Snider, and if it's just for 2-3 weeks, I don't really mind that personally.

Bautista to 15 day DL, Morrow to 60 day DL, as per Sam Consentino on baseball central at noon, will try finding a second source

Edit:

Blue Jays-Official @BlueJays

.@BlueJays have placed @JoeyBats19 on the 15-day DL with left wrist inflammation and have selected the contract of outfielder Anthony Gose

^^ could be better, could be worse.

The morrow part is what really stings. Guess we have our built in excuse to not upgrade the team this year. :-?

Being called left wrist inflammation, very good news!

The end of this week should settle this whole buyers vs sellers debate. More than likely going to be sellers. The 2nd wildcard is giving us mathematical hope that they can pull it off, but realistically we're not even close. Injuries will be the scapegoat for yet another season.

Bautista on 15 day DL, Gose called up.

so our left fielder is getting benched, our right fielder goes on the DL - and we still cant find at bats for snider? at this point i just feel bad for the kid. AA is doing him real dirty for whatever reason.

after all the **** Snider's been put though, he deserves to gets released and sign on with a team that will give him a chance..

Jose swinging at those Home Run Derby swings caught up. Good way to give him some time off and bring Gose up to show case some talent. Really hope Gose gets us a few wins with his electric speed!

Wo1verine · Post #34 » by **Wo1verine** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 5:08 pm

I obviously hope Gose does well, but i think he's going to get exposed at the major league level, he's just not ready..

Mattd97 · Post #35 » by **Mattd97** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 5:11 pm

not to mention the fact that gose's main value is as a centrefielder with his speed and defence. putting him in a corner outfield spot just magnifies his questionable offence and handicaps his defensive skill. this is just abnormal on many levels.
