Wrong....stroman has been a starter his whole career except his senior year at duke.....he is not a reliever

 

He's pitched as a reliever in the low minors.

Collectively, we're the smartest baseball journalist in the city.

Wrong! Stroman has pitched plenty out of the bull pen . Jays turned him into a starter

 

was out of the pen for Duke.

 

BAPIP was a little cruel to him there.

Wrong....stroman has been a starter his whole career except his senior year at duke.....he is not a reliever

 

His last year in College plus his stint in the AFL so he has plenty of experience as a reliever. He hasn't pitched well

[Daniel Labude]

He's pitched as a reliever in the low minors.

 

Only the same year he was drafted

anyone with an IQ over 25 could say that... the bar is pretty low.

Agreed. We just lack decorum.

[theblujay]

I can't figure out why the f*** Stroman is in the bullpen

f*** decorum! And... pretty much anything that moves, depending on how much I've had to drink!

[ElNik2013]

I can't figure out why the f*** Stroman is in the bullpen

 

 

He's young and they've gotta take care of him.

[o2cui2i]

some of the greatest starters ever started off in the pen.

 

I think they know he is limited in how many innings he can throw this year and are easing him into the job. He will be in the rotation soon.

Could you explain to the board why Stroman would be limited, but not Hutchison?

you give this organization too much credit, waiting on AA to option stroman after this game and call up jenkins

It's not like we desperately need a couple quality starters tho...oh wait

[OtisNixonFan]

The boys want to fellate Swisher.. f*** me.

[o2cui2i]

I'll bet Hutch is, but they dont have anyone else and will probably have to use someone from AAA at the end of the year. Gibbons can spin the no limit non sense about Hutch, but it's not likely he goes 200 innings this year.

[Convo]

Minding the results, how has Stroman looked? I'm thinking pretty good, maybe capable of being a 4-5 starter.

[o2cui2i]

It's not like we desperately need a couple quality starters tho...oh wait

 

I'm pretty sure that teams still go by the 20% innings increase system. It's not a hard cut rule, but it's like the 100 pitch concept and teams are afraid to go much more.

[Convo]

Poor Stroman....

[Convo]

Seems like it takes a miracle for Stroman to get an out.

[Daniel Labude]

Francisco and lind dont need to play in the field

[OtisNixonFan]

What a clusterf*** this team is... All hands using shifts and positioning to limit hits and we don't have a f***ing clue.

[o2cui2i]

Seems like it takes a miracle for Stroman to get an out.

 

Defense didn't do him any favors there.

[Angrioter]

Stroman as a reliever looks like a good idea now.

[Daniel Labude]

Im guess 3-4 but hard to tell until they let him start

[Convo]

DeSclafani time fellas
