Happ return tracker

Call me crazy but I think Redmond may be a slightly better option than Happ, especially until Happ is 100% again.

[Arkadium]

You're crazy.

 

Redmond has better control. Throws just as hard, if not harder. And is closer to his prime than Happ.

Have to admit - Redmond and Rogers both look pretty damn good

[flafson]

Redmond throws 90, pretty sure Happ throws around 93.

Yeah! 6 k's in 3 IP... though I think that's mostly nervous energy throwing off the hitters.

Neg. Redmond averaging 91-92 (limited data). Happ 90-91.

Our Wang looked pretty good for a couple of outings, then it went soft on us.

Lol.

Neither one has good control if you ask me

[ElNik2013]

Sell high on Redmond I say.

[Arkadium]

Well you'd be wrong. Redmond has exceptional control in the minors his entire career.

[ElNik2013]

lol 15k instead of 10?

 

 

Sell him to a GM that's high for 50M and sign the Cuban pitcher!!!

[flafson]

Redmond has okay control but poor command. He misses all over with his fastball but doesn't end up walking too many guys.

 

As for being a better option than Happ... didn't you learn anything from Wang and Ortiz starting off well? Any random scrub can put together a good start or two. Redmond is not a Major League-calibre pitcher.

 

Probably not but we shall see, you never know.

[G-Snarls]

Happ pitching tonight for Dunedin BTW

[G-Snarls]

@DunedinBlueJays: We'll have live coverage of J.A. Happ's outing on http://t.co/iyqaOrVyNH and on AM 1340 WTAN: http://t.co/vXU8ueatBD. Tune in at 6:40!

[G-Snarls]

Great start!

 

[LeafsJays]

5 ip 3h 0r 0bb 7so

[LeafsJays]

Thats his final stat line

[Angrioter]

Happ, Romero, Drabek, Hutchison, Stroman and Nolin all at same time.

[ElNik2013]

Good to see Happ on his way back. Speaking of rehabbing players, when will Cabrera be activated and who will go down or be dfa'ed?

[ElNik2013]

Could be tomorrow or Saturday. Most likely it will be Redmond.

 

 

So who would take Redmond's place in the starting rotation? I guess they don't have to make a move till he's supposed to start, but then it'll be Happ, then Hutchison. It'll be interesting 'cause the returns are coinciding with the trade deadline.

Could be Ricky...

[G-Snarls]

My God that team has no friggin' offense though:

 

@DunedinBlueJays: Peter Mooney hits a two-out double in the sixth inning, and the Blue Jays are in the hit column. Still trail, 1-0 in the 7th.

[G-Snarls]

I can understand why AA doesn't plan to trade for a starter right now. For once, we could for real have too many as of September.

[G-Snarls]

No... AA said he has to dominate AAA for 3-4 starts in a row, then AA will watch him pitch and if he does well then, a decision will be made

 

Plus, you can leave him in the minors indefinitely this year, unlike some of the others

 

Once these guys start coming off their rehab assignments there could be a serious roster problem.

[G-Snarls]

Options check...

 

Who among Morrow, Drabek, Hutchison still have options???

 

Hutch obviously does I guess (he was a rookie last year)

Drabek was already optioned. Don't know about Morrow, but he's far away from a return.

 

Hutch and Happ will have to be put back on the 40-man roster, so there will need to be a couple of bullpen guys traded or DFA'ed if they have no options.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Redmond might be enough to put the inevitable Sanchez for Bruce Chen deal over the top.

 

Sell high on The Todd
