Sergio Santos to be activated tomorrow

[Angrioter]

Pérez down?

[jayswin11]

and yet some how we couldn't even trade Oliver for cash???

If you were the other team, would you give up anything to get him?

[TheHurl]

outside of Juan Perez being DFA'd what is the option? Loup is the only pitcher with options. Just another reason not trading today makes little sense.

 

I imagine they will place multiple players on waivers to see who bites but that isn't going to help for Santos tomorrow.

[HERPDERP]

f***ing mcgowan jesus christ man

[BabbaGanoush]

Might explain Mcgowans sudden loss of velocity, goes from 95 to 91 in his last two outings.

[TheHurl]

Fake injury, the team asking McGowan to go on the DL...I mean a doctor wouldn't even investigate, he'd just see McGowan and sign the injury forms.

 

So who comes off the 40 man?

[ElNik2013]

Why not? Lefty reliever with a 3.78 xFIP in the AL East and dat vetrin experience.

 

 

Yeah, I read you, but how many teams actually have a need for him? It was a very quiet trade deadline. I'm all for trading some of the relievers, but I think we're all pretty freakin' frustrated with this s***** season that we're probably overreacting.

[digiblader]

Nice to see Santos back--more power for our bullpen. Bummer on McGowan, though.

[digiblader]

Well, we're not bad enough to outright sell--but not good enough to buy either. A number of teams, including the Royals, Indians, Mariners, etc. were in the same boat--nobody wanted to blow prospects for rentals, unless they were really desperate(see Jake Peavy to Boston)

[Angrioter]

Stroman 6.2IP, 13 K's

[Arkadium]

Stroman 6.2IP, 13 K's

 

WOW. He had 11 K's in his last start... kid is on a tear

[TheHurl]

I don't know how legit this injury is, but I really can't wait for McGowan to be gone. He'll be 32 next year, is made of glass, has no options, and isn't even very good. I'm sick of him.

 

I feel the same way about Luis Perez. Only way he should be back in Toronto is if he moves into ECJF's new place

[Angrioter]

McGowan FAKE DL, Santos up

[Sparky12]

Stroman 6.2IP, 13 K's

 

Quickly become our best prospect

[Laika]

Stroman 6.2IP, 13 K's

 

Dude is tearing it up. Earning himself a legit chance to start games in the big leagues.

What are the odds he's makes the rotation next spring? Been excellent this year

Miniscule. Almost non-existent. There would have to be a couple of injuries above him.

Your probably right, nice guy to have ready to step in next year tho when needed

[Howard Roark]

You have to think September 2014 at the very latest, no? Unless everyone's dealing and were in the hunt, which I severely doubt.

[flafson]

I'm honestly still excited to see what Santos can do if hes healthy. He has electric stuff.

 

He hasn't been all that impressive in the minors, mostly hit or miss. Sometimes he's great, sometimes not.

[Caper]

If he is on the team he will be in the rotation.

Morrow to the 60-Day DL.

Stroman 6.2IP, 13 K's

 

cant wait to see this kid come up. I hope his stuff carries over to the bigs,

It seems like AA is going to leave at least one spot for Hutch, Drabek, Stroman, Nolin, Redmond, etc to compete over. If he keeps pitching like this he might even be up before then.

[DuckDuckGose]

Miniscule. Almost non-existent. There would have to be a couple of injuries above him.

 

I think it really depends on what AA does with the rotation. If he goes in to next season with Dickey, Buehrle, Morrow, as locks and leave the last two open for competition he might squeak in. IMO it would still take utter dominance (or injuries) for him to nudge his way in but, I think he's pushing himself to the very top of the depth chart at this point.

[DuckDuckGose]

Heh......these phantom injuries are going to go on for the rest of the season. As for the 40 man, there's a handful of guys they can try to slide through waivers.

 

And if someone claims them they are most likely motivated to get a deal done. Hopefully AA gets something done while McGowan is on the DL. There are too many arms and not enough spots as is, guys coming back from injury will really complicate things.

[admin]

AA should have dumped as many relievers as he could.

Lincoln and Santos could have filled in for anyone that was moved.

I don't trust any of those 2 to be honest. I also don't trust Oliver, but at least you can say he has the experience.
