Was just perusing some stats, Gurriel line since May 14th (12 games):
.417 / .429 / .646 / 1.074
So that's a good sign. Riding an very high BABIP and still not walking much, but hitting the ball hard and often finally.
I sure wish the Jays would have signed Semien to a multi year deal and I hope they are looking into extending him as we speak.
He was 3rd in MVP voting during his last full season, and after a slow start has a line of .343 / .405 / .634 / 1.040 in his last 33 games. 2.5 WAR already. Not to mention he's a legit SS that is willing to play 2B. That is a major positive any way you look at it.
Not sure what it would take? Maybe 4 or 5 years $100 million total would get it done?
Also, man is our bench ever abysmal. Yikes. I feel like I say this weekly, but I cannot wait until Springer and Kirk are back, because right now we have crappy bench players playing every day (although they just had a pretty good game against CLE)
