BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2011-09-06 14:00:00	Can the Jays get up there with the Yankees/Sox/Rays? Lawrie looks great, but they're still short pitching, would Darvish get them there? (Steve R from Waterloo, ON)	It depends if you believe that Darvish is a #1, or that they'll be up for spending Darvish money. I have doubts about both. Either way, he's not enough. They still need additional help for the rotation, the bullpen, and the lineup. You would, in particular, like them to figure out whether Adam Lind and Travis Snider are ever going to join the first ranks of offensive players. (Steven Goldman)
2011-07-21 16:00:00	I fantasize of trading Yunel Escobar for Adam Lind...should I try to make it a reality or is it too far fetched of a dream? (Justin from Tinley Park)	Unless I'm really desperate for a shortstop, I am not making that deal. The worse the guy can say is no, but that's a run production drop-off he/she might not want to take in the stats at this point of the season. (Jason Collette)
2011-02-02 13:00:00	Can Adam Lind return to his 2009 form? (Tony from Albuquerque)	It just wouldn't be a BP chat without an Adam Lind question. No, probably not, but stranger things have happened, and 25 is pretty early to peak. (Ben Lindbergh)
2011-01-18 13:00:00	Hi Marc, 2 Scoresheet keeper league questions. Team 1: Protect Tim Hudson or Sean Marshall? Team 2: Pick one from among Vernon Wells, Travis Snider, Adam Lind and Felix Pie. Thanks for the chat! (rrydelek from Maryland)	You might want to ask Rob McQuown for help on this one. I'm still just learning Scoresheet and I expect to get destroyed this year. Rob knows what he's doing. (Marc Normandin)
2010-09-15 14:00:00	Hey Eric, I drafted Adam Lind this year in my fantasy league. Coming off a 36 hr run year, I was expecting a top 15-of performance from him (so was ESPN). What happened? 22 hrs and a 229 avg is not what I had in mind when i laid down a high pick on him. (bill from fargo, north dakota)	Well, for starters, his strikeout rate has increased substantially and he isn't walking as frequently. He isn't being as patient this year, and despite hitting more flyballs, his HR/FB has dropped off significantly. I don't know much about his batting mechanics, admittedly, but Lind's statistical line this season suggests to me that he is having problems seeing the ball, and is trying to compensate for it in the wrong ways. He isn't this bad but he probably isn't as good as he was last year. If he can be a bit more patient at the plate and cut back on swings out of the zone, he should be able to get into the .350 OBP/.480 SLG range, which is where expectations should stay moving forward. (Eric Seidman)
2010-08-24 14:30:00	What can you do with Aaorn Hill and Adam Lind between now and the end of the season? Is it better for them to sit or do they just have to keep flailing in the hope that something will suddenly click? (garethbluejays2 from Newcastle, UK)	Given that the Jays are out of contention, continued flailing is probably preferable. Lind has actually hit quite well this month. (Ben Lindbergh)
2010-06-10 13:00:00	When you have a roster that includes aramis ramirez, nate mclouth, gordon beckham, zach grienke and yunel escobar, is there anything you can do but cry a little and wait 'til next year? I mean I don't think you can go negative in roto, but my team is sure trrying. (Mike from Chicago)	That's rough. I have a team with McLouth and Beckham on it, but thankfully McLouth was my fifth outfielder. It looks like you took a bullet for the rest of the fantasy baseball universe--about the only thing you're missing is Adam Lind. Some years just don't work, or at least they don't from the start. It's getting to that time of year where it's okay to feel antsy though, so make some moves if you can. (Marc Normandin)
2010-06-02 13:00:00	What is the most important thing the Jays need to have happen to sneak into the playoffs? (dtwhite from Toronto)	Adam Lind needs to raise his batting average, and Vernon Wells needs to keep being halfway decent. Fred Lewis was an inspired pick-up, and Jose Bautista is out of his mind right now. But it's not gonna happen. Too many ifs, too few nahs, not enough heys. (Tommy Bennett)
2010-06-02 13:00:00	Any BABIP buy low candidates I can target in trades? (Jquinton82 from NY)	Hitters or pitchers? For pitchers, I bow before the wisdom of Seidwartz. For hitters, I'll say Adam Lind (.260, .307 career). (Tommy Bennett)
2010-05-05 13:00:00	What to do with Adam Lind? Snapped his 0-18 streak today (a single!) and looks like the player that was unnecessarily jerked around by Toronto for years before 2009. Thoughts? (scott from chicago)	I like his bat too much to give up on him, especially after a month. Patience, patience! (Marc Normandin)
2010-04-01 13:00:00	In re the cover of BP 2010 and the blurb regarding Adam Lind taking a shot at Mike Jacobs: While I love the snarkiness that comes with the analysis found in the book and BP in general, I thought the question posing the aspirational comparison to Bay and the pejorative comparison Jacobs was a little biting. It seems to me it's one thing for your blurb about Jacobs to say that he's underperformed, not met expectactions, etc., and another to ask if one player -- on the cover no less-- "is going to disappoint like Jacobs?" I just thought the comment dipped a little too far into the negative and unnecessarily called out a player by comparing him to another, especially in the context of this being the cover of the book. Thoughts? Was this discussed amongst the staff? (JDLloyd10 from Biscuits' Stadium, AL)	Let me put it this way: we spend so little time thinking about those blurbs that I had to pull the book out to see what you were talking about. I don't write them, we don't really write them. They're thrown together by a combination of people including the publisher and passed along very quickly. I find it very difficult to think up cover blurbs when I'm desperately trying to edit the book and I haven't seen more than a few chapters. I think your comment is fair, though; in the future we'll try to discourage those comparisons except maybe in a more broad historic sense, like "Is Jayson Heyward the next Dave Winfield?" or something like that. (Steven Goldman)
2010-03-04 13:00:00	Thoughts on Adam Lind? Seems to me he is peak Jason Bay without steals no? (steve from Boston)	That sounds right to me. He's got a great, great bat, but sans steals. (Marc Normandin)
2010-01-21 13:00:00	Adam Lind's performance in 2009, career year or is the best yet to come? (Ron from Vancouver)	I think 2009 is a pretty good indicator of my expectations for him. I was optimistic about him for '09, but he did what I thought he would be capable of later on already. (Marc Normandin)
2009-11-24 13:00:00	Is it possible we've seen the best of Adam Lind? (Rob from Alaska)	I don't see why he couldn't be a consistent .290/.360/.530 hitter for the next several seasons. (Eric Seidman)
2009-10-02 14:00:00	Joe, if you were JP Ricciardi, or his replacement, who you sign Adam Lind to an extension now, or wait and see 'til next season to see if he can even come close to producing this level of performance again. Ricciardi got burned by signing Hinske up to soon. Thanks. (Shane from East Coast)	I don't think Lind is someone you need to make that kind of commitment to. DHs aren't building blocks, and he's a bit older, so if you can sign away arb at a reasonable price, fine, but don't sweat buying out FA years. And yeah, I'd probably make him do it twice anyway (I think he can). (Joe Sheehan)
2009-09-21 14:00:00	Do see Adam Lind putting up all star numbers again next season or do you see him regressing next year? (Matt from Calgary)	All-Star numbers, I'd suspect. This is the type of hitter many scouts and statheads expected him to be, which is why there was so much screeching about J.P. Ricciardi keeping him on the farm for so long last year. (Jay Jaffe)
2009-08-21 14:00:00	Does Travis Snider have the ability to breakout like his fellow teammate Adam Lind, who experienced many of the same performance issues Snider has faced (K vs. LHP in particular) as a rookie? (jaymoff from Salem, OR)	Yes, and maybe even more so. (Kevin Goldstein)
2009-07-09 13:00:00	Help, I'm a Jays fan. Ryan's contract, eaten. Halladay on the block. Entire starting rotation on DL. What are three good reasons I shouldn't permanently renounce baseball for lacrosse? (jerjapan from Toronto)	1. Cito Gaston (who should have never been let go). 2. Aaron Hill's amazing comeback (underreported in the U.S.), 3. Adam Lind emerging as an offensive force. (John Perrotto)
2009-02-10 14:00:00	Obviously Travis Snider has more potential but do you see Adam Lind outperforming him this season? At it's best how does a outfield of Snider, Wells and Rios stack up around the league in 3 years? (Bill from Toronto)	This year, probably but not certainly, but N+1 through forever belongs to Snider. I think the problem with the proposition is that Wells and Rios aren't going to get any better, so we can probably shelve those Barfield/Bell/Moseby comparisons now. (Christina Kahrl)
2009-02-06 13:00:00	Can we get a one-sentence 2009 Travis Snider preview/prediction? (mschroeder14 from WI)	He could have enough trouble making contact that he has trouble hitting for average and gets into some frustrating slumps, but he's young enough to make big strides if the Jays show more patience than they have did Adam Lind. ...Switched to Squeeze at random. Does the guitar solo from "In Quintessence" ever get nominated as one of the best ever? (Steven Goldman)
2009-01-07 13:00:00	I had a smoke with Adam Lind outside the Rogers Center just as he arrived from the airport. Not that I'm proud of the smoking part just wanted to point out one major league who does smoke. (dogtothedog from Toronto)	So there's one. (Will Carroll)
2008-08-22 13:00:00	Adam Lind: buying or selling? (Rob from Alaska)	If I could buy twice, I would. Lightning round folks, sorry to cut things short early, but I have a list of things to accomplish today. (Marc Normandin)
2008-08-20 13:00:00	Whats your two cents on Adam Lind? He was crushing AAA through half a year, and has remained pretty hot in the majors since his callup 6 weeks ago. Will he this good? Or come back to earth as like a .280 20 hr 80rbi guy? (Chris from Toronto)	I think he'll come back to your earth as you describe it, but that's a pretty good player still, no? (Kevin Goldstein)
2008-07-25 14:00:00	Adam Lind has been raking lately...can he keep it up? (uptick from St. Louis, MO)	Yes. He's Bobby Higginson or Geoff Jenkins with less defense. (Joe Sheehan)
2008-06-24 13:00:00	Should JP Riccardi be fired with all the problems he has opening his mouth and Toronto's lack of offense to match the greatness that the pitching staff has given the team? (jlarsen from DRays Bay)	I don't like to suggest that anyone should lose their job - bad karma and all that - but ownership's patience with a team that has been running in place for so long is... impressive. The Jays often have some very nice components - good pitching, some great complimentary players - but they haven't been able to develop or acquire the MVP candidate on offense that they have needed to bring the club together. Maybe Travis Snider will be that guy... Assuming he gets more of a chance than Adam Lind. (Steven Goldman)
2008-06-20 13:30:00	Hey Joe, how long do you think the Blue Jays will let Adam Lind crush the ball in AAA before giving him a real shot in the bigs? I know he has struggled when they bring him up and play him once a week, but will he ever get a fair shot? Is there anybody who has been mishandled more than Mr. Lind? (Steve from Cambridge)	Plenty of guys have been handled worse than Lind has. Willie Greene mocks his pain, for one. I just don't get how a team can choose Shannon Stewart, who's just a terrible baseball player now, over Lind. Or drag in Brad Wilkerson and Kevin Mench. Or play Joe Inglett. It just doesn't make sense. (Joe Sheehan)
2008-06-02 12:00:00	Would a Adam Lind and David Purcey for Bay deal workout well for both teams? Wouldn't Lind project as a lefthanded Bay with a little less power in his prime? (Taylor from Toronto)	I think the Pirates would want some higher-end guys than Lind and Purcey. I don't think Lind is in Bay's class and Purcey doesn't excite me. (John Perrotto)
2008-05-29 13:00:00	What could JP Ricciardi do to lessen your (and not only your) general invective? He has made mistakes, but he seems to be learning on the job and has shown some ability to correct his mistakes. As long as you don't listen to his purposely misleading explanations, his recent actions have had purpose and make sense. Thanks (rawagman from Work in Toronto)	You mean like when Adam Lind got 15 minutes to hold a job that he's been the Jay most qualified for since August 2006? Or when he released a player, based on 11 games, who's outhit his entire roster since he was cut? (Joe Sheehan)
2008-04-23 13:00:00	If I kidnapped Adam Lind and brought him down to Orlando the Jays would have to play him over Joe Inglett right? (Taylor from Toronto)	You supply the van, and I'll drive. (Kevin Goldstein)
