If he would have taken care of himself more, no telling how great he could have been. To many baseball teams are sponsoring amateur golf players! Troy Tulowitzki announced his retirement after 13 MLB seasons with the Rockies, Blue Jays and Yankees. They always made my family and I feel so welcome.’’“He played shortstop with a flair. Anyhow, thanks for the memories and continue teaching the kids how to play.He was talking about his retirement, not your comment.Was a pleasure watching him come up as a kid for the Rockies, and sad to see injuries take their toll on him like they did.One of the greatest “Dirtbags” ever! There is much greater risk of not being successful as an organization.I csnt have a serious discussion with someone that cites batting average as a meaningful arguing point .reminds me of Nomar. I was so excited(despite being 19 at the time) because of how much promise he had. Or medically retired as ChapmansDirtBuster mentioned. The team changed for the better when he, Price and company showed up. Maybe a minor league deal.He’ll have a FO spot if he wants one. Their careers were very similar and Larkin was just as injury prone as Tulo.
Blue Jays have had plenty of practice getting rid of their own guys..269 hitter away from Coors.
I’m tired of hearing about his delicate condition. Not greedy but wise. I appreciate the feedback….Let’s go to the ATM machineI legitimately did not know who Harold Blaine was. They pay the entirety of the contract, minus any new team offer. The Blue Jays felt he was done. There was no in between. This includes the remainder of his current contract, which runs through the end of the 2020 season and the bulk of which is being covered by the Blue Jays after their release of the shortstop.
But that will have to go into the “what might have been” file.He wore #2 for the majority of his career…Over his entire career, Tulowitzki will finish with a .290/.361/.495 slash line and 225 career home runs. I was thinking of Barry Larkin. Huge respect.Okay, the retirement/released issue was collectively bargained… any contract signed (in this context) is for a specific service, over a set period of time, for a certain agreed upon monetary amount. Good luck Tulo!Okay, so I see that he wants to stay with the Yankees after seeing “2” instead of “to”.. That’s a big plus for the organization.Does he go into the Hall of Fame as a Yankee?Not sure what narrative you’re referring to. Tulowitzki later accepted a job to be a volunteer assistant coach for the University of Texas baseball team.“Really tough. Doing the math, this year he got paid $4m per game. He gave them 10WAR for 43M in the first four years of the deal, and in dollars per WAR had already paid them the full 55M in value.Good comp. If so, you don’t see that very often. He pleaded for his release then completely changed his tune. !You imagine him riding out the rest of his career in pretty good shape and making the Hall.
Just lolYou have no knowledge as to when I indulged in sabermetricsHa.. the Yankees have been obliterated with injuries this season and still have the best record in baseball.. but you are going to judge Cashman on the no-risk depth signing of Tulo?Nobody said the Blue Jays had to release him.Also I’m not trying to be a jerk but anyone that says ” .269 career hitter = not a hall of famer” in my mind is a simpletonFirst ballot When He Was Healthy Hall of Famer.Tulo is a good lesson for baseball in giving shorter term contracts past 30 yrs old. Not even close to HOF.Pick your stat, they’re all average away from Coors.As for the money, well, he signed an extension offered by the Colorado Rockies. The truth is that Troy stole millions from the game and while he might be a great guy personally he contributed zero to the sport for the bulk of his career except eating up money that could have been spent someplace else. He was also a second-place finisher in NL Rookie Of The Year voting in 2007, as Tulowitzki’s emergence was a major factor in the vaunted “Rocktober” team that virtually ran the table down the stretch and through the postseason en route to a surprise NL pennant and the only World Series appearance in Colorado’s franchise history.I like Tulo and all but man did he burn the bridge out of Toronto.
