Sean nolin up?

[Atothe]

I just read on minorleagueball.com comment section Sean Nolin is called up for a start on Friday.

[HERPDERP]

Probably some guy who looked at the similar thread here earlier and made that connection...

[Atothe]

Yeah shi David has nothing about it on his twitter. He did say about a week ago that if a need rises that Nolin is first to be called up.

[Atothe]

I hate that we keep doing this. Alvarez had 88 AA innings when we called him up. Hutchison 32. And now Nolin 31. This is not proper development.

 

You think that's bad, if Johnson has another setback watch them rush Stroman to the majors

My bad, did not bother looking through.

Do you think the Nationals rushed Harper after so few games under his belt?

 

I trust the eyes of the scouts who look at his performance and his stuff rather than arbitrary #'s in the minors.

Haha someone turned troll

[HERPDERP]

You seriously trust this organization's scouting and player development? Why?

 

Cause you and I are no better

Nolin isn't the big deal (Mark Hendrickson, Kirk Reuters)

[Atothe]

We don't have Tampa depth, we would if we trade guys like Bautista in their primes for close to major ready players and kept replenishing the ranks. AA refuses to acknowledge you need a young core of talented players. Trade players after they had their careers years unless they're the pujols, harpers and Cabreras of the world.

He has more velocity then Hendrickson and he's shorter then him as well

[Angrioter]

Yeah, this is exactly it. Its all well and good to have a nice group of 30-something major leaguers, but good organizations have a pipeline of talent. When Josh Johnson inevitably goes down, you want an Archer/Odorizzi/Colome to replace him, not Ramon Ortiz or a rushed Sean nolin.

 

+1

add Colome

[Chappy]

So when should we expect Nolin to have TJS? Seems inevitable.

Are you baseball ops professionals? What a f***ing useless answer.

Interesting. Perhaps there was an argument to be made against going all-in this year on the basis of our injuries. With Hutchison and Drabek out until June, and the farm lacking any ready-now prospects, any challenge was going to hinge on a healthy roster. The margin for error was minimal.

[Angrioter]

Cards (Carpenter, Westbroock and Garcia out)

 

Shelby Miller, Trevor Rosethal, Carlos Martinez, John Gast, Seth Maness and now Tyler Lyons

[Angrioter]

Gose-LF

Bautista-RF

Encarnacion-DH

Lind-1B

Arencibia-C

Lawrie-3B

Rasmus-CF

Izturis-2B

Kawasaki-SS

Buehrle-P

I'd still be excited to see Nolin but these rush jobs are a direct product of poor development structure and that falls directly on AA.

[TheHurl]

And Friday's starter is...strong possibility they announce Stroman

That wouldn't be surprising, AA keeps praising him. I wonder how many innings he got in during extended spring training or whatever he was doing during the suspension.

It makes for an interesting contrast, going by all accounts: Nolin is physically rusty, but has faced the true bats; Stroman should be physically strong, but has mostly faced the soft bats of spring.

[Angrioter]

Sean Nolin, scratched from start at double-A New Hampshire today, expected to start for #BlueJays on Friday vs #Orioles.

[GD]

Sigh.

Stroman is being fast tracked no doubt, but he's not a guy whos gonna sit for 2 years in the minors.

[Caper]

Sweet.
