Aaron Sanchez Reality Check Thread

[KingKat]

I don't think it's as easy as just buying a starter before 2016. For 2017, Edwin, Bautista, Reyes, Martin, and Donaldson will cost in the vicinity of $100 million. That's five players. There are a lot of starters on the market this offseason, but anything longer than 1 year could mean Edwin or Jose walk pre-2017.

 

One or both of Boyd and Cole emerging as reliable rotation options would help a lot.

Apparently Gibby was on Blair this morning and hinted that his leash may be close to up.

 

Blair: "Putting two-and-two together, I think we're gonna see Sanchez back in the bullpen, maybe by the end of the homestand."

 

Good. Estrada or Hendriks?

[TRM]

Probably Estrada

I wonder if they would think about stretching out Osuna. he is much more complete as a starter than Sanchez. I think he has enough experience to do it.

I'm sure they've thought about it. Problem with stretching out Osuna this year is that he probably can't throw more than half a season out of the rotation. Severe lack of innings the last few years.

 

But I'd love to see it happen even if there is an eventual date where he has to go back to the pen.

He's probably the best option right now. question is if they have someone else who could be ready in august

Having a 4/5 of the rotation consisting of;

Dickey - 12M

Hutchison - 2M? I think he is arb eligible

Stroman - .5M

Norris - .5M

 

makes it a LOT easier to buy one expensive starter. Especially when Reyes is only on the books for a few more years (with a 4M buyout on the last year). I don't think you extend both Bautista and Edwin into their +35 years. I don't think the money is as big a deal as it may look.

[TRM]

My vote is Osuna down to stretch him out, Boyd on an interim basis in the meantime. Sanchez taking over Osuna's role is fine (although he should be going down to work on starting).

[o2cui2i]

Sanchez going to the pen means he will still only have 2 pitches at the end of the year. He REALLY needs to go to AAA so he can learn 1 more pitch that he's 100% with and another he's very comfortable with.

 

right now he barely has one pitch most of the time. it's a fastball that's going somewhere.... need to get him sorted before they make him into Drabek.

He threw 22 IP last year. I can't see Osuna starting for the Jays this year.

[TRM]

You're probably right. Either way, send him down and increase his innings and keep him as a starter. If Sanchez is going to the pen (ugh) they can do this without hurting the pen.

[o2cui2i]

He threw 22 IP last year. I can't see Osuna starting for the Jays this year.

 

it's valid point.

 

but it was about 35... still not many.

[tercet]

If the Jays care about Aaron Sanchez at all they will send him to AAA.

 

He needs to learn to strike people out, or limit his walks. And it is probable that neither of those will happen in the majors.

[tercet]

Sanchez splits are LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

 

vs LHB 600/667/1133/1800

vs RHB 143/217/190/408

[tercet]

Earlier ITT I predicted/said that Sanchez is no more then a ROGGY, and that LHB will murder him. Boy oh boy do those splits show that lol

I'm lost, who the hell is Boyd?

[Jimcanuck]

all you've done is show the Jays have a 22 yr old starting pitcher with elite stats against righties and plenty of room to improve against lefties

 

the upside is huge

[tercet]

Of course he walks 2 of the first 3.

[tercet]

This is so painful to watch..

Hes looking even worse then I thought..

[tercet]

And of course a LHB hits a 2run HR of him.

[Orgfiller]

This is so painful to watch..

Hes looking even worse then I thought..

[tercet]

Why bother respond to such obv troll

[Angrioter]

Sanchez today:

ERA 3.38

FIP 7.95

[Caper]

Kid has got potential.... needs work.

[Deadpool]

Not a great night, but he got the job done. And he showed a few innings of like "wow, that's awesome" potential. So take it for now.

[strochez]

Seemed almost like a Trevor Bauer start minus the ridiculous strikeout totals.
