I don't think playing on turf will help Tulo. That lineup is phenomenal though. I bet they add a pitcher.

I'd assume they had to give up some top prospects to get Tulo. The Rockies probably don't really need Reyes and just took him back for salary purposes. So they may not have enough prospect wise to add a real upgrade at pitcher.

Jose Reyes.. And no, but it is a blockbuster

That's was what I was thinking. Reyes is a good defender, Tulo will help their offense... but their offense doesn't need help. They need pitching.

Sucks that Reyes is gone. He was one of my favorite Jays to hate after that situation with Caleb Joseph last year. Guess I'll just have to hate Donaldson, Encarnacion, Bautista, Stroman, Gibbons and that stadium just a little bit more to make up for it.

Tulo couldn't stay healthy on grass.. So I don't imagine him fairing much better on turf

Tulo's probably a better defender than Reyes FWIW.

At least from what I remember. Ya know...from when he was on the field regularly.

Tulowitzki is a little bit overrated. The last time he played more than 143 games was 2009 and his splits (no surprise) heavily favor playing at home (Coors Field).

Really this year Reyes and Tulo have been worth about the same amount of WAR. So unless Tulo turns it around then it's not that much of an upgrade this season. Really, their pitching still sucks and they still consistently underperform their talent level and will in all likelihood continue to rack up the run differential but be a .500 team because they can't pitch.

Well hopefully they weakened their farm as well... Weird trade

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      If you’d rather have Trumbo under any circumstances, well then. God only knows how many extra runs scored because he let a ball fall in front of him, but it was a lot. An out at the plate is only an out, and it may or may not come with RISP, but a missed catch in the OF gives the offense another chance, extends the inning, puts more pressure on the pitcher.  Mullins saved a lot of runs with his defense and speed even when he wasn’t hitting. im not talking about errors, nor am I talking about routine fly balls, but about the extra inches a good defender gets that make the difference between a catch and a non- catch, and that’s important. And no one knows before the game what will be required of the defender. nine guys come to the plate, and if one of them is in the lineup not for his offense, but for what he offers with the glove, that’s fine. The other eight should cover for him. Thats why Kevin Pillar had a successful career.

      Not sure why you bothered to quote me. I was helping another poster figure out how not important a left fielder is when it comes to defense in the modern game. You don't start a left fielder for defense.

      Os vs KC in WC round

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Were we on Sunday Night Baseball that Sunday 9/17?    My Google of Rosh Hashanah 2023 said it ended at sundown the Sunday. I'm not Jewish either but I am baseball, and in childhood the Sandy Koufax stories I remembered most were about Yom Kippur. The Google also reminded me Kremer's turn as Texas finished the sweep was just 2 days after October 7th. Let's get a sweep, guys.

      I don’t care what Slater did before he came to us this season. Just like I didn’t care what Hicks did before he came to us last year.  Since we acquired Slater he has a .707 OPS vs LHP and Cowser has a .500 OPS vs LHP.  It’s a coin flip. If we stick to what we’ve done, then it will be Slater. He hasn’t not started versus a LH SP since we acquired him.  I’m good with him or Cowser. Mullins is a lock. If I had to bet I’d think the lineup will be, 1. Gunnar SS L 2. Westburg 2B R 3. Santa RF S 4. Mounty 1B R 5. Adley DH S 6. Slater LF R 7. Urias 3B R 8. Mullins CF L 9. McCann C R
