I'm increasingly of the opinion that he's going to make the rotation. He's marketable, and the team needs marketable. Maybe even have him throw the home opener. I don't agree with it, because there isn't room on the 25-man without losing a useful player, but I'm kind of expecting it to happen.

 

the only really bad thing about having Stroman up to start in April is that he most likely wont have enough innings to pitch 30 starts. he'd have to be shut down in August.... makes more sense to wait for the injury or bad performance that is surely going to come.

 

Stroman will be distraught if he doesn't break camp with the team, but it's probably the right thing for the team and I hope this is what happens.

"2. Morrow ... he is not an ace.

3. Dickey .... he'd be even more effective following Morrow"

 

From that other thread.... what the s***? There's a Morrow effect????

Are you sure?

 

Morrow and McGowan hurt; Happ, Rogers and Redmond suck; Drabek can't throw strikes

 

You guys need to temper your optimism. I know it's spring training and everyone is excited, but guys probably won't perform to the lofty expectations you are setting for them. You're just pumped that baseball is back. There will be ups and downs.

Don't discount the concept. If you had a slop baller going then the bats would be a shade slower. That might be a slight negative compared to heat.

Does that still count if Happ is negative and Stroman stays in Buffalo?

I'm already tired of these stories about all these guys poised for breakout seasons. At this point I refuse to get sucked in. Every other team has 25 guys poised for great seasons too and guess what? Most of them won't.

Next we'll hear Redmond looks like Greg Maddux out there. The spin machine is out in full force already.

 

Yep. Every pitcher might win 20 games with a 1.8 ERA. Can 5 guys on one team share a Cy Young award???

Melky looks great. He worked out with Bautista in the offseason so I'm not surprised. The Jays need a good year out of him.

 

 

Let's hope he comes close to 2012
