The "Fat" corner?Kirk is way to short to play 1B... He's 5'8... he actually may be better suited for 3B than 1B sadly...

Agree with this CATS. It would have to be a no brainer and fill an obvious need extremely well. Plesac looks really good right now and I'm interested in seeing how he rebounds from last year tbh.Everybody seemingly wants to trade Plesac.
It would have to bring a haul of young MLB and MLB ready players.
But not this year, because we need every SP we have right now just to get thru the season.
And its quite possible that a lot fewer fans will want to trade him after watching him pitch this year.
Maybe we can just lay him on his side between 3B and SS sort of like an infield backstop?The "Fat" corner?
Kirk has such a small sample size..To be clear, I wouldn't move him to 1st but as a C he should in theory be decent at picking the ball out of the dirt and a decent range less fielder.
He'll make a fine DH someday

We've went over this before, his TTO stats were actually best in his final month and his AVG went down due to BABIP. That is not what "finding the hole in his bat" looks like.Kirk has such a small sample size..
He came up to the Jays parent club in April and struggled a little & was sent back to the minors..... Then he hit a solid 285 in July/August (70 AB's, again SSS).. before falling on his face in September going 1 for 22 to finish the last two weeks of the month. He ended up at .200 for September.. IOW.. the hole in his bat was found.. His catching didn't change much the entire time.. lousy or terrible would best describe his defensive ability..
Of course Jays fans want to "include" the Guardians catcher of the future in the form of Kirk.. They see what everyone else does.. now..
Because we can’t badmouth the Dolans for being cheap right now (which I never have)OK, so we've determined Kirk can eat and hit while struggling with anything that requires movement on the defensive side. Why are we even talking about Kirk?

...the only restaurants Kirk has a standing reservation at are All You Can Eat Buffets..
at 5'8 and 280.. food quantity is just as important as quality.. That fat body can't catch..Naw, he would know the best places to eat in town... I mean you cannot get to his demeanor without knowing where the best places in town to get food are...

Build him a statue now!I believe this was the FOs way of leveraging Ramirez, knowing he didn't want to go anywhere else.
I love Jose, he's a lifetime Cleveland Baseball Player. Love it
