Pitchers whose last names are euphemisms for penis are the new market inefficiency.

I don't mind this move. He's been decent down in AAA so far this year, and with the way the ball has been flying out of RC this year another ground ball pitcher can't be a bad thing. He's also given up 1 or less runs in 6 of his 9 starts this year, and one total in his last 3.

Chances are he sucks, but this has the potential to be the best scrap-heap pick-up so far this season.

it can be bad when you have terriable defence on the infield.

I mean I hope this works out, but I highly doubt it.

 

I like the move. Don't get me wrong I don't hold huge hope that it will work out long term. He's an 8th starter, but atleast a better 8th starter then Ramon Ortiz

 

(now watch him get creamed as oppose to Ramon's 5 good innings first time out).

I actually love this. Hes been good in AAA maybe hes returned to form.

 

Yeah I don't mind it...

 

But how the hell did this guy put up 4 WAR season pitching 3.2 K/9

and then another 4 WAR season pitching 4.7 K/9

This worries me.

 

yah wangs gunna give up a lot of hits (most groundball pitchers do) so he will rely on the double play which are defence can't turn to save their lives. Atleast if lawrie comes back with his range it will help a lot but what we have now shits gunna hit the fan.

I was surprised it was a ML deal and not a minor league deal. Guess Ortiz will be out for a bit longer and they need someone to take over for him. We're kind of tapped out in depth though why not have Jenkins starting over the scrap? Hopefully he surprises everyone and makes a few decent starts.

Low $ I suppose so they can release him and eat the $ if he's bad...

3.88 k/9. Quite lulzy.

Ah! Good point. If he pitches horribly, he's gone and not really costing the Jays much and if he pitches well enough to stick around, another option.

Jenkins will be starting....no more Rogers piggyback starts.

 

Jenkins (3.6K/9, 4.7 xFIP) hasn't pitched well, he has been lucky and the Petco Park helped him a lot.
