Aaron Sanchez stud thread

[RealAccountant]

The last game of the season could very well end up being meaningless and our B squad will play with Scott Diamond or Dickey on the mound.

 

Dickey Thole sendoff.

[93 Jays]

The biggest game of the year against a hot hitting lineup and in their ballpark. Sanchez, our ace, comes out and shuts them right the f*** down. It's really a shame he didn't get better defense and bullpen help or he would be contending for a Cy Young award.

 

A long way to come for a guy who most labelled as a no 5 in this rotation. Best ERA in the A.L, went 15-2and was lights out against the AL east. f***ing beast.

[RealAccountant]

He will a get a few CY Young votes too

what a goddamn beast this kid is

I first met Aaron at his first spring training at the Mattick Complex as a skinny 18 year old....such a nice kid... so happy for him. Edited October 3, 2016 by spats

He's not the leader in wins, but is the leader in win % in the MLB. That should help his cause a bit.

Sorry. I just checked back...the picture was taken in March 2013 when he was 20..doesn't look like he bulked up that much last off season.

192 IP with the lowest ERA in the AL

 

F'n fantastic

 

He made it impossible for them to move him to the pen or shut him down

 

He might be the team MVP

[G-Snarls]

I think the organization's only mistake with Sanchez was letting the fans and media know too much about the inner turmoil and deliberations that were going on

Donaldson not even close

[Dr. Dinger]

Donaldson not even close

 

It's pretty insulting to JD that anybody else would even be discussed as team MVP. Without JD, Sanchez' breakout would be entirely irrelevant because the Jays would have been a .500 team.

[G-Snarls]

Donaldson not even close

 

OK yes I got carried away

[G-Snarls]

How about "player who most exceeded pre season expectations"

[SweetSmellingChacin]

Sanchez may not finish #1 in Cy Young voting, but he's number 1 in my heart.

He's blown expectations out of the water, yes, even for Jimcanuck. No one saw the transition he made in 16'

True. I predicted 3+ WAR for Sanchez, with the expectation he would progress to a 1B SP (not an ace) within a few years.

 

His durability is a question though, suspect there are other reasons for the concern with his IP and the 2 week exile this year than simply being cautious.
