He totally signed there for the BBQ.

Next stop might be to play in Korea or Japan until he figures things out as a hitter.

Might not be a bad idea for Travis

Snider doesn’t get rave reviews in the OF

About the only place that he seemed to do well in was in Pittsburgh,. Liked Lunchbox when he was with the Bucs. A shame he never could get a full time gig and keep it.

The only place he did well was in the Jays farm system. Shame, he looked like a sure thing.

Another interesting trivia item for Travis is that the Pirates traded Brad Lincoln for him and eventually signed Lincoln back. They traded Travis to Baltimore for Brault and Tarpley and picked him back up the same season after Baltimore released him. Ironic that both deals involving Snider for the Pirates had Pittsburgh ending up with all the same players including Snider after the trades.

Man, Snider was a beast in my 2010 MLB The Show game Franchise Mode. I guess the game creators thought he was going to be a longtime stud. Unfortunately, his career has been extremely disappointing. Another example of just how hard this game is.

Hard to believe the Blue “promising young core” used to be Snider, JP Arencibia, and Brett Lawrie. Hope the scouting department has improved since then.

That they were well thought of prospects should be cautionary tale for prospect expectations. Lawrie did help land Donaldson, and I would say not capitalizing on their value at its appex was the miss by the FO.

Snider is a decent bench bat.
Pretty amazing that a team starved for both pitching and prospects dealt away Brault and Tarpley for him.
One of NH’s best moves.
