Jorge Soler Zero Percent Financing Thud On The Shower Door SPLOOGE Fest

[Yeti]

Jorge Soler is Spanish for Andre Dawson.

I get that Andrew Dawson is revered, but they're not that similar of players. I actually really like Maddon's comp of Vladimir Guerrero with actual plate discipline. Which is just so bonerific a thought I can barely handle it.

Speaking of, Vlad Jr. is available in the international free agent pool this year. Do it, Theo

He's a Blue Jay.

[SKO]

Still love this mother fucker. That's what I've got to say today. That, and only that.

[SKO]

He's putting together some great at bats right now, great swings on everything. Glad that one finally found a gap last night.

Seems every ball he's hit since his return has been hit hard.

[Saul Goodman]

Has Jorge ever experienced wind before?

[SKO]

To the DL with a strained oblique. Fuck.

To the DL with a strained oblique. Fuck.

Here's the thing -- Jorge isn't really that good. I don't think this hurts them all that much in the short term.

No, he's not that great right now, but he's been fine in the second half so far and if he's ever going to get the experience he needs to become the elite hitter his talent indicates he can be the whole "missing half of every year with various nagging muscle injuries" is going to be an impediment.

Yes, the development thing is frustrating -- mediocre and injured is no way to go through the majors, son.

And I mean he's hitting .284/.372/.388 in August. They are unlikely to match that production with La Stella, I think. So yes, this probably does hurt them a bit.

From an offensive standpoint, probably a bit. But there should be a defensive upgrade that will hopefully offset that. We're also only talking about a few weeks here, so randomness is probably going to have a larger effect than anything else.

Let's take this over to Facebook so we can have this conversation simultaneously on three different websites.
