It's J.P. ARENCIBIA Time!!!

[G $MONEY$]

Woot homer Adam Lind, 4-2 Jays

 

[JzWand]

Outside of HRs, Snider's minor league resume is tremendously superior to Arencibia's.

You think so?

JPs 2008 season is pretty damn impressive as is this years but Snider's minor league average of .302 is a lot better than JPs .275.

JP had seems to have hit more HRs, more RBIs, and less K's, but snider had a higher average, better OBP, and SLG.

I wouldnt exactly call that TREMENDOUSLY superior.

At the same time I think playing in LV the last couple years certainly helped JP!

 

[G $MONEY$]

Now Hill homers, 5-2 Jays

Awesome!!! :lol:



Now the kid is going to have really high expectations for the rest of his career!

Hopefully he follows the Snider career path:

1) Get the call and have an OPS of .803 in your first year.
2) Struggle in the first few months of your second year as you make adjustments
3) Cito says "clearly you can't hack it, you just struggled"
4) Go back to the minors
5) Crush ball
6) Get the Call...again.
7) Cito Remembers you and you can't hit. Cito will play you when he feels like it.
8) Cito loves veterans. You may be better than Molina in every offensive category but Cito loves Molina's leadership. You will now sit on the bench, son.
9) Cito is now filling out his lineup card with Overbay and Molina, Cito is a great manager. Cito was wondering why you let DeWayne Wise go. Cito loved Wise. Cito saw wise save Buerhle's perfect game and Cito respects players that do things for their teammates. Cito loves leadership.

Honestly, they're not even close.

 

[braden]

James Shields is the most homer prone pitcher in the Majors, going back four years now. The Jays are the most homer happy team in the majors. Shields couldn't have been excited about today.

Cool. I guess we'll agree to disagree. At the end of the day I like whenever any Jay does well

 

[JzWand]

Same here. I wanted to catch JPs first game and now every couple minutes my 17 month old son is looking at me in amazement when I yell!
