Moises Alou "Nolin will be looking a spot in the Blue Jays rotation next year, reason why he comes to this league to work hard"....."Toronto only asked us to take care of his boy (if we agree with Nolin and his agent)""

[DuckDuckGose]

I think he'll definitely be given a chance to steal the 5th spot but he'll most likely start the year in AAA, especially if AA improves the rotation.

AAA Rotation-

 

Stroman

Nolin

Drabek

Hutch

McGuire

Romero??

 

Hutchison will be the Blue Jays 5th starter....Happ and Romero the most expensive starters in AAA.

Hutchison is our most advantaged pupil in the minors, he will be our 5th starter. McGuire won some ground, we will see him in the bigs in September.

Buehrle

Dickey

Morrow

whoeever AA adds

McGowan, Redmond, Drabek, Hutch, Romero and Nolin fight it out for the 5th spot. Whoever loses out goes to AAA.

[Angrioter]

Is he starting or coming out of the pen. I didn't think he needed the innings.

 

EDIT: I guess he only threw 110 innings this year.

 

5 IP starter

Are you going to get out and watch him Ang?

He will not play with my preference team but yeah, I'll go to see him pitch.

Or the pen. Some of those guys (McGowan and Romero for sure) have no options left.

[G-Snarls]

Though the "great" thing about Romero is you can pass him through waivers at will

[BarrysSyringe]

Imagine how different the complexion of the rotation would be if Romero didnt fall off the face of the earth. And off topic a bit but does anyone know much about matt dean?

[BarrysSyringe]

He had a a breakout year this year, influenced by a high babip though. They moved him from 3B to 1B this season. He should start next year in Lansing.

Whats he project out to be?

I think just Hutch and Nolin have options and you're right some of those guys will make the bp.

[DuckDuckGose]

Whats he project out to be?

 

Projects as a power bat. Hasn't done enough to get any scouts excited. Needs to hit more and significantly drop the k rate. Not good signs for an all bat position like 1b. Still he's young, athletic and has lots of potential. At this point he is years away from reaching his ceiling, and the majors but he's one if the highest update bats in the system

Here is what BA had to say in their chat on the League top 20

 

Tom (San Francisco, CA): Did Matt Dean not make it because he was repeating the league?

 

Clint Longenecker: Matt Dean was a very tough call. It was not simply the fact that he was repeating the league but that he had had the highest BABIP in the league (.436), which is unsustainable, and still struck out a fair amount (24.5 percent). He was in the next five players and had a very strong argument for being in the top 20. As a corner infielder repeating the league, evaluators wanted to see Dean have a stronger approach (6 percent walk rate) and more secondary skills.

 

Jean-François (Montreal): Matt Dean's peripherals are not pretty, and his production was helped by unsustainable BABIP. Can he still make it back into prospect contention after this decent year?

 

Clint Longenecker: Very astute, Jean-Francois. Yes, he is back in prospect contention. Although he was not included on the list, he made HUGE developmental strides this year. Last year, Dean got into trouble with a large stride that left him off balance and left him in a poor position to hit. He stopped striding this year and his swing had much better balance. His pitch recognition also improved. He showed dedication to his craft as he kept a book in the dugout to document every pitch he saw during every at-bat. By the way, I will be doing the Blue Jays top 30 this year. I look forward to digging into their system even more.

I'd just like to reiterate that strikeouts don't have a particularly strong correlation to wRC+, I don't believe.
