Rotation and Bullpen Post Stroman Injury

[TDotttt2005]

Sign Rafael Soriano, Put Sanchez into Stroman's spot. Please.

[z3r0s]

Go for broke IMHO. Put Norris and Sanchez in the rotation.

[TDotttt2005]

Sanchez isnt depth if we're counting on him to be the closer, or high leverage bullpen guy. Either way, we were thin enough using 'internal options' to address the bullpen with Sanchez pretty much penciled in there.

[TDotttt2005]

We shouldn't be counting on him for anything.

 

If thats the case, you're counting on Norris and Estrada instead?

[ScientificReason]

sanchez is not ready to be an everyday starter at this level..........if he is starting things are dire...well they pretty much are.

[HERPDERP]

Sanchez & Norris in rotation

 

Castro/Mexican in BP.

 

Remove Sanchez a month in and replace with Santana.

[Sammy225]

Norris Estrada in the Rotation have Sanchez starting in AAA.....

[Angrioter]

Randall Delgado or Zach McAcallistA

[Sammy225]

Sanchez + Pentecost for Hamels + Papelbon (wouldn't actually want Papelbon)

 

I was going to say i bet Amaro is blowing up AAs phone lol.

[glory]

It will be Sanchez and Norris, with Estrada in the pen. Wouldn't surprise me if Castro makes it now.

 

What a disaster, and Rogers won't give two shits, so don't expect the money to get Hamels/Papelbon.

[ScientificReason]

AA forgot he had it on mute since December.

[Gorlak]

Norris and Sanchez aren't stretched out enough to pitch 200 innings anyway. It will have to be a combination of the 3 unless AA brings somebody in.

Why wouldn't you want Papelbon if they ate some cash? He's not what he used to be but still a useful reliever.

Sanchez + Pentecost for Hamels + Papelbon (wouldn't actually want Papelbon)

 

I mean I would do this but Hamels' contract... eughh

[Brownie19]

It will be interesting to see how they approach it. Unfortunately, I think they'll continue in the "win now" mode to save Gibby and AA's job (which in AA's case is ludicrous) even though their chances of success are cut in half like Stroman's ACL.

 

They should be leaving Norris in AAA to avoid starting his arbitration clock. Start with Sanchez (give him a shot to start - just to say you did) and Estrada - give Sanchez's bullpen spot to one of the 349 arms AA brought in (West preferably) and then bring up Norris later on once it's obvious Sanchez isn't (and may never be) ready to be a ML starter.

 

I'd prefer to just deal Sanchez now while his value is high, however, I suspect instead they'll give him a shot to start (he's been AA's golden child for 3-4 years now). I'd rather see that happen and his trade value plummet (with the outside chance he does succeed) than start the arbitration clock on Norris early.

 

As Gorlak said - they are going to need more than 2 starters, as neither of the young guys are ready for 200 innings.

[Brownie19]

Sanchez + Pentecost for Hamels + Papelbon (wouldn't actually want Papelbon)

 

Jesus wouldn't that be nice?

[Brownie19]

Randall Delgado or Zach McAcallistA

 

Is Ang jumping on my McAllister train? allllll aboard!

[pickoff22]

I mean I would do this but Hamels' contract... eughh

 

I don't find that contract all that appalling, same age as Lester with less commitment and slightly lower AAV. Of course I don't think there's a chance in hell that ownership would allow for that type of add in salary, but it doesn't scare me off.

[TwistedLogic]

Hamels' contract is great.

[BlueJaysGirl]

No thank you.

 

Dickey

Hutch

Buehrle

Norris

Estrada

 

Depth - Sanchez

 

No thank you.

 

Estrada's numbers are better in relief. He stays in 'pen. Norris and Sanchez start. Or we trade for Hamels and raid the farm. I don't want that.

[pickoff22]

Phillies laugh at you

 

They may not if you are willing to take on Paps contract.

[tercet]

You guys seriously think Sanchez will be a starter? FFS

[tpurewal97]

Dickey

Hutchison

Buhurle

Sanchez

Norris

 

Castro makes pen. Still hanging on to hope they move fat f*** for a decent reliever.

 

This seems like the most logical choice

[pickoff22]

No I still don't think they will do that. They are going to want 3 blue chips. Besides Max Pentecost is hurt.

 

Well considering you're dealing with Amaro you're probably right.

[GD]

Hamels' contract is great.

 

oh.

[Deadpool]

 

I live in a perpetual state of Step 2.

[Zaun of the Dead]

Estrada will have to have a pretty great spring to supplant Beaver or Norris in the rotation at this point. And yeah Castro and / or Osuna definitely make the team.

Why?

[Zaun of the Dead]
