Aaron Sanchez mowing down batters in AFL today

[G-Snarls]

We're all thread bombing I know

 

[G-Snarls]

[G-Snarls]

I'll clean up all these threads once talk settles down

[BabbaGanoush]

Video?

[G-Snarls]

Video?

 

Hopefully later

[G-Snarls]

Yeah the board's way too cluttered right now. There should've been an AFL Thread.

 

You mods should decide on some general threads to create for the offseason.

 

This time a year when it get quiet I don't mind. I'll often merge threads once they die down.

 

The biggest problem is some people, including active good posters, rarely check the minor league sub forum. I wonder sometimes if we should can it and just have a baseball and off topic board.

[G-Snarls]

He's done for the day

 

5 IP, 8 K's 1 unearned run, 0 hits and 1 walk.

 

Nice

[G-Snarls]

AFL thread in the prospect forum

 

Yes that's where this and the Stroman threads should be

 

But I don't think most posters would have even noticed the discussion there.

If anyone can a video of his start please post it.

As I said this morning................Sanchez >> Stroman

As long as AA doesn't trade them away, i don't care who's bigger.

[flafson]

We also know that AA somewhat cares about the future which is why he didn't trade Sanchez so far. Anyway, pointless talk, we don't control anything.

[KingKat]

There's the reality right there. Turning this team into a playoff contender is going to be difficult enough (SP2, SP2, C, 2B, RHDH). Doing it without moving the only two guys in the system with big value around the league will be almost impossible.

 

It's frustrating because Stroman himself could be a contributor as soon as this year.

[KingKat]

What's wrong with him contributing as early as this year?

 

He'll be doing it for another team.

[Frenchsoup]

He'll be doing it for another team.

 

 

I highly doubt it Sanchez would be the one dealt if any, hes still a year away atleast.

[DuckDuckGose]

Weird, that guy seems way too black and short to be Sanchez?

Hahaha it's definitely Stroman. I was watching TV as I posted, my bad.

[Frenchsoup]

Reminds me of Marcum. That is dirty. Stroman can be an above average starter now, but probably capped at 160IP.

 

Why he seems really durable to me.

Nasty secondary stuff. I remember a game against Boston at RC.

160 innings = 2x Morrow

I'll take it. Sign me up.

[G-Snarls]

I don't remember the last time I was as excited about a Jays pitching prospect as I am about Stroman. Downright filthy numbers in AA, and the stuff matches.

 

And composure for days.

 

Yep. Pumped.

[G-Snarls]

Anyone think Stroman's performance in the AFL is having a direct impact on AA's priorities over the next month??

It really f***ing shouldn't.

[Angrioter]

No. Trade Sanchez, but for the love of god keep Stroman.

 

Sanchez >>> Stroman.

Sanchez Fastball-Curveball is one of the best combo in the entire minors league system.

[G-Snarls]

It really f***ing shouldn't.

 

I know

 

But I'm worried it might

[Angrioter]

Aaron Sanchez needs to actually start dominating minor league hitters, because as good as the stuff is he hasn't actually been great at getting people out.

 

tell me about dingers and K's............It's more difficult hit a dinger against Aaron Sanchez than touch the Obama's balls.

[Laika]

Sanchez vs. Stroman is a really fun debate right now. It has to be basically 50/50.

 

Stats and Peripherals: Large edge Stroman

Age vs. Level: Slight edge Sanchez

Proximity: Edge Stroman

Stuff: Edge Sanchez

Polish:Stroman

Intangibles: Stroman

Physical profile: Sanchez

 

Stroman looks like a sure bet to be at least a late inning major league reliever, with the upside of a mid rotation starter. He could even exceed expectations and be a very strong #3 or arguable #2 starter.

 

Sanchez could be a legitimate Ace if everything clicks, or he could be a guy who can't even out innings out of the bullpen if he can't consistently throw strikes.
