They may be value we dont see at the plate he brinfs every day that could of led to where we are at. I would say if we didnt make it to the playoffs then yes id be mad at the deal. I cant be mad with our decisions right now and maybe he will turn it around.

    Lol, a lot of history? The guy is a .262 career hitter.

    He's 27, this is his 7th season.


    Wow! .631 OPS? I didn't realize he was that bad. That's awful.

    hey Giant , my fellow toronto homeboy, long time

    10 dimes says cleveland beats the jays , il post when i enter it tomorrow

    dont fall for the hype., this is the same team that went awful down the stretch, only because the tigers/seattle and astros were SUCH LOSERS, is only reason they made it, all those 3 teams had to do was go 18-12 in the last 30 and couldnt,
    martin UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE, should bat ahead of former NL MVP tulo
    BJ upton is a BLIND SWINGER
    michael saunders game as it relates to an ALCS level is laughable,
    and the midget runt at 2nd, is startin to feel it,
    JAYS cant hit good pitching, and the pen difference is too mighty

    That's including this season. Coming in a .270 hitter and almost .800, OPS< with gold glove. Again, Cubs would take .270 and .800 OPS.

    When he came up he was touted as a 5 tool player. He's lost at least 2 of those tools somewhere

    Joe doesn't want to stretch Chapman past 1 inning.

    I'm not in Toronto, but I agree with just about everything else. I think Cleveland will take down Toronto.

    http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/201...-defense-value

    Heyward’s stellar defense is still there. Among outfielders, Heyward is fifth in DRS and third in UZR.
    Essentially, Heyward’s entire value is propped up by his defensive skill. Just looking at the runs added breakdown, Heyward posts an anemic -21.5 runs added offensively while supplementing it with 13 runs added defensively, putting him at 0.9 fWAR. That’s not good. But, looking at his offensive profile, it could be a lot worse (see Ramirez, Alexei or Alonso, Yonder).
    Adeiny Hechavarria has essentially been Heyward in the infield. Though Hechavarria has never quite hit at all in the big leagues, he provides another extreme example of what anemic offense paired with esteemed defense does to a player’s value profile. His wOBA is sitting at .256 with a wRC+ of 56. That’s bad enough to generate a -25.8 offensive run total. However, because of the positional adjustment at shortstop and, of course, his sterling defense, he is still a positive fWAR player at 0.5. Again, not great, but it could be worse.

    Rondon will stay for Pence, but then I think Joe goes with Chapman early.

    Wow, Chapman already? Full 2 inning save? Could hurt him for tomorrow if they lose. Joe going balls to the wall.

    6 out save. Wow that's demanding a lot from chapman especially since he's not starting out a clean inning.

    Interesting move by Madden.

    If he wants him to get six outs, why not start the inning with him? Lefty was leading off.

    The only Giant with a career hit on Chapman is Posey, who is already on base.

    Yeah, I hear that. He was hoping it wouldn't get to that.

    If Chapman saves it 3-2, he's the MVP of the series.
