Daniel Norris promoted to Buffalo (AAA)

My BOY.

 

Maybe a Sept call up. Dunno if I like that.

[baubau]

Wow. I am surprised it happened this early. Certainly more warranted than Sanchez's promotion earlier in the year but I would have thought he'd have finished the year in AA and then moved up begging/early next year.

 

Either way, whoop!

[Atothe]

wow waa wee wow

[GD]

Best prospect in the organization.

[ace3113]

Might as well give him a shot. Call him up in September for the stretch run. You never know when a pitcher is going to get injured, might as well have him using those bullets to help your team.

Daniel Norris is going to be a beast.

[Atothe]

Its pretty clear Jays should not bring back any bullpen arms not named Loup or jenkins. Trade or let go anything too expensive. Cheap 2015 bullpen

[Atothe]

And rotation, I see no reason why we need to spend over $35 million on pitching next year.

 

Trading Buehrle midseason could have gotten a top prospect but now you're just trading for salary relief. No point, keep him to eat innings

You think there are any takers for Buerle or Dickey on the trade market? We'd have to eat salary for sure.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Nobody is actually surprised by this are they?

[Atothe]

If a team wants a one year contract from a healthy durable decent arm like buehrle, gimme something good

There is a point if you have a cheaper alternative. Spend the money elsewhere to improve the team.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Stroman, Hutch, Sanchez, Norris all starting next year. Fap fap fap

IMO the only arms worth keeping next year that have pitched this year in the pen are Loup and Cecil (Sanchez is prob ably back starting). I'm pretty concerned that this means a lot of assets will be dumped into the pen this offseason though.

Are you serious, have you watch any baseball this year? All those young arms breaking down. Buehrle is more valuable now then 4 years ago

I know.. There could be cheaper alternatives that could be picked up in the off season.

 

Stay calm.

The point is I wouldn't trade him for just salary relief

CP - External addition (Neshek? Grilli?)

LHRP - Loup

LHRP - Cecil

LHRP - Nolin/Rasmussen

RHRP - Wagner

RHRP - Drabek

RHRP - External addition (Delgado? Dunn? Morin? Fields? Germen?)

Not unless AA has a viable replacement, i agree.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Pen will be fine next year. Cecil has the potential to be a borderline elite reliever if he can stay healthy, Redmond/Loup/Jenkins are under control.

 

So many red flags with Janssen as of late. Really hope he isn't re-signed.

 

But yeah, let's see some more Cecil down the stretch please. Strikeouts and groundballs for days.

not what I meant but valid point.

What about Redmond? Possibly Korecky?

Yeah Redmond is a glaring omission there.

[GD]

What about Redmond? Possibly Korecky?

 

Yup, all options. There are just so many relievers lol.

 

I wouldn't mind just taking a leaderboard of the highest SwStr% guys and just throwing them into a pen with Cecil and Loup and seeing what happens.

So many easy options.

 

I really want to see Drabek in September, I believe in him as an RP. Should slide in to a middle relief spot pretty easily next season

+a lot

[ElNik2013]

I'd like to see Burns at AAA to end this season. Maybe even Pompey.

[ElNik2013]

Oh and speaking of relievers, maybe John Stilson is injured, but if he's healthy by next ST, he could be an option.

 

It's also not out of the question that Delabar regains some of his 2013 form, just the nature of relievers.

[HERPDERP]

OOOH SHIIIT

 

september call up!
