    Devon Travis is the Worst Player in MLB

    It drives me nuts that the Blue Jays keep running this loser out there. He is SLOW, plays a below average second base, can't hit for shit and is made of glass.

    He generally keeps Ryan Goins, a ridiculously talented fielder (can play SS, 2 and 3 and all as a ++++ talent), is quick, is cerebral and doesn't make mistakes on the base paths and he is twice as fast as Travis.

    Hell, Darwin Barney is three times the player Travis is.

    The Jays have no clue how to run an organization. It makes me sad.

    Check out Gorky Hernandez on the Giants; the guy has to be the worst hitter in the majors.

    Ronald. A guy named Ronald just called me an idiot. Laughable.

    Oh wait, you mean because he exploded today for two doubles and made two really nice plays in the field?

    He must have read my post and woken the F up. Still, he is terrible and I would gladly replace him with almost any middle infielder trash from waivers from any other team.

    You want to call me an idiot, and have me give you a respectful answer, back your statement up and I will respond.

    Fukkin trolls.

    He's not very good but Goins is basically a career backup

    Travis a much better career hitter so far and Goins I guess a better fielder....both below average overall

    Gotta be someone in the minors that couldn't do worse than either

    He had one good run, admittedly, but half of last year and what I have seen this year tells me all I need to know. Negative speed, below average fielder, makes dumb moves on the base paths....his confidence is shot.

    At at least with Goins you know exactly what you will get. A guy that will play 162 games a year, give you spectacular D, will hit in the 9th spot and hit .250 with 10 HRs, 55-60 RBI and play the game RIGHT.

    He's hitting .327 in May.

    Yes, the three games after I posted this he had multiple hit games....for the first time ever.

    Don't look for it to continue.

    He is a complete bum.

    I enjoy exposing clueless posters and wormish charlatans, but unfortunately there's only so much time in the day and I only have so much motivation to post.

    Other fan boys like Donuts have been exposed in my long posting history in Forumville. Do a search.

    You know he was a .301 hitter coming into this season.

    He had a shitty April, cut the guy a break.

    You made me do some homework, I checked out all the 2B individual defensive metrics for all the regulars, Travis could not be more middle of the pack, medicore second baseman in the majors.

    Defensivly he's right in between Dee Gordon and Neil Walker, not crap, not great, just right there in the middle.
    Combining all the metrics, there are 25 regular second basemen, he's 12th.
    Average turning the DP, little better than average range, average ZR (zone rating)
    Defensive WAR - Right smack dab in the middle.

    Like I said, he had a shitty April, look at the May

    Weird thread. Yeah another bomb today and a .990 OPS in May. "worst player in mlb" probably doesn't have a career OPS of .785 and a WAR approaching 3 last year.

    Guy is making a measly 500K last year and in 2017. What exactly did the "Jays brass do wrong" here? Granted Gibbons is the worst mgr in baseball but you can't fault the team for tossing Travis out there. It's not like they signed him to a 50 mil contract.

    Gorkys Hernandez mentioned in this thread is a good comparison. Makes roughly the same salary and is deplorable.

    Travis is a nice little player.

    Admittedly, since I posted this thread he has been on complete and utter fire. Prior to this thread he was hitting .170 for the season.

    The comment about tha Jays Brass is what they did with Encarnacion. Both sides got into a pissing match and it was all about Bautista. Jays didn't want him and Encarnacion wanted to sign as a pair. The Jays get their back up and Encarnacion signs with the Tribe for the same as the Jays originally offered.

    Then thy got left with no real choice in bringing Bautista back.....and although he has been better lately and his arm has been amazing from right field, he doesn't belong on this roster.

    Travis is unbelievably frustrating and his defensive lapses won't show up in his numbers. He will inevitably go cold again and disappoint. I can assure you, he doesn't pass the eye test with me and he is destined to be a journeyman at best.

    D2D's wife was obviously banging Devon Travis on the side at one point in time and when donuts found out about it instead of leaving her the little courage he could muster up led to this thread being created.

    Devon only bangs white girls, so this could be true.

    However, he also only bangs 9s and 10s, which disqualifies DONUTS wife from contention.

    goins would hit .250 with 50-60 rbis over 160 games?

    aha if that were true he'd be on another team right now. dude cant hit a lick i doubt hes even hit .250 over any season in the majors. Sure hes a great fielder but at this point im taking travis/barney over him anyday.

    travis at his worst brings more to this team than goins.

    "Worst player in MLB" Who comes up with these nonsense threads? haha

    My guess is this thread was made after he struck out with the bases loaded or grounded into a DP that hurt this posters wager.

    Actually the post was written when he was hitting .170, playing terrible defence, not understanding how to run the bases and not having a basic understanding of where to throw the ball on any play in the infield.

    Yes, the guy has been hotter than hell since the minute this was posted...his agent should send me a cheque, but that doesn't change the fact that he SUCKS. I forgive you if you don't have to watch him every day and you are only looking at the numbers.
