Interesting Jays News (25/06/2013): Who goes down for Reyes? + Lawrie&Santos Update

[fatcowxlive]

Who goes down for Reyes?

 

 

So Oliver/Cecil/Loup/Perez are safe and so is Wagner.... who goes down then? McGowan if you ask me.

 

Lawrie Update

 

 

Very good news on Lawrie! Also Kawazaki is slated to stay in the majors

 

Santos Update

 

[Chappy]

McGowan to the DL, guy has been healthy for far too long.

[TwistedLogic]

Santos using Delabar program, me likey. Thanks for the updates.

[Metallijay]

lol, sad, mcgowan has all kinds of potential but I don't think his arm can sustain being a MLB pitcher.

[dmrich28]

I think McGowan has only pitched 3.1 innings in all of June, so ya, he's been a waste of a spot too. I still think if he's healthy he's more help than a totally busted Melky at this point. Even if it's just in a mop up role they use Dustin at for now.

[flafson]

Why DL and not DFA him? Guy is owed 3mil, not sure many will claim him with that price tag with all the questions around him.

[digiblader]

Gotta be McGowan..

[dmrich28]

Why does it "gotta be McGowan" ? His last outing he was pretty electric gave up a meaningless HR but he's barely pitched at all.

If you DFA him, he'll be claimed and gone forever.

You could DL him but why? if he's not hurt. Melky isn't helping an is a legit DL choice and Kawasaki has options. These are the 2 options they should be looking at.

[GD]

Right on Spanky, it's gotta either be Melky or a trade.

He has 3mil price tag to his waiver claim, kinda like why no one claimed Lind and Romero (although they had bigger tags)

Im hoping trade... We need another starter or bat. Wishfull thinking.

I just think for 3 million another team would take the chance. His stuff is some of the best around when he's on

[fatcowxlive]

Melky to the DL

 

I was also thinking that, but the way it was worded, "Gibbons says Jays have "pretty good idea" who will be dropped to make room for Reyes" makes you think a DFA/Option is in place.

 

I also asked Ben-Nicholson Smith this question and he gave me a smart answer, "If the Jays thought that Melky needed a DL stint, they wouldn't have waited until Reyes to get activated"

[G-Snarls]

It's probably more like - AA has a trade target. There's a 20-30% chance the deal happens. In the meantime he delays and delays roster decisions until he knows if its going to happen or not.

 

That happens probably a lot more than we know.

[G-Snarls]

Well 1.5 million per is peanuts and DFA'ing McGowan is stupid, unless they make up a phantom injury and DL him.

 

It wouldn't be to save $ but to free up the space IF they see something in him they don't like.

 

But after all they've invested in him, I can't see them DFAing him after 3.1 IP.

[Sparky12]

Yea wonder if they will ever give McGowan a chance to pitch, still has unreal stuff

[Metallijay]

Don't think it's melky, if they thought he needed a DL sting they would not have waited for reyes to return.

[fatcowxlive]

Well Smith is a f***ing idiot than.

 

Wooooooooooooooooah, he's actually really good

 

He worked at MLBTR and his SNet articles are on point

[GD]

WTF?? They've held onto him all this time to pitch 3.1 innings and his stuff is nasty, he'd be snatched up on waivers in a NY minute. If they do that, AA needs to shove his head up his ass.

 

Don`t you worry, AA`s head is firmly up his ass already lol.

Weighted balls program. Practice it at home boys.

Could explain the sudden Reyes call-up when he was thought to need a few more days to rehab.

What is this I don't even...

[ElNik2013]

Melky to DL or trade are the best options. Oliver for Profar, come on AA, do it, you won't regret it!

And lose that vetrin presents? bitch please

[The_DH]

Not sure who would take a chance with the money owed. Imagine you're a gm that picks him up and his arm explodes two innings later? I don't think many gms would want that on their record.

Who, Oliver? I think he's shown that that isn't an issue, and if it does happen, he's owed like 2mm.

Guys, you should probably read that if you think dropping McGowan is a possibility. I don't think he'll be gone.

[Caper]

lol, sad, mcgowan has all kinds of potential but I don't think his arm can sustain being a MLB pitcher.

 

Nonsense, he's in the weighted ball program.

[Jimcanuck]

McGowan is twice the pitcher Loup is

 

You guys that think McGowan will be exposed, give your head a shake
