JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

Like he, what is he, 99th percentile whiff rate.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

He's kind of Louisa Rise with wheels.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

Because it's just I don't strike out.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

I'm just going to put it in play.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

And then I'm so fast that I'll get, you know, seven, eight, nine extra hits over the course of the season by by legging them out or putting pressure on a defense.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

We also saw him active on the base paths yesterday.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

That's not a spot that the Blue Jays have done a great job since Alejandro Kirk went down.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

Valens will a little bit better than Tyler Heinemann.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

But it kind of.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

I'm going to sound like an old head here, but it kind of went out of the game for a little bit that there were guys fast enough to put pressure on a defense in this way.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

But now with the rules changing, there's Nassim Nunez in Washington who never gets on base, but when he does, every pitcher is using both disengagements and stuff.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

Gosman, in addition to the two stolen bases for Simpson last night...

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

basically conceded a balk to do a third disengagement on him.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

I guess as a baseball fan, how cool is it to see this kind of guy back on Vogue where not swinging and missing and the ability to put some pressure on the defense with the speed is back to being a pretty valuable player type.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

Yeah, you'd love to focus on Junior Caminero.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

He's got 11 home runs.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

He's a very dangerous pull shot hitter, but you've got to worry about this pesky guy on first.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

And yeah, Jake Cook, he was the one last year that's kind of like, well, you do college basketball.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

I didn't have that good a season, but at the combine, I just tested out of the gym.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Vladdy’s Hitting Woes, Lauer DFA’d & Rising Rays

And that was kind of it.
