#BlueJays call up Ryan Goins, DFA Todd Redmond.

f*** you i never get to start threads

I'm surprised they didn't call up a reliever to replace him. Delaballs, for e.g.

Especially since the starting rotation has only been able to go 5-6 innings throwing lots of pitches.

With Goins in the mix, it means they can DFA Tolleson when Saunders comes back. Pillar has more than earned the right to stay on as the 4th OF but he can't back up all the positions the way Tolleson can so Goins will be needed.

[Angrioter]

I predicted last night.

 

Reyes doesn't feel good.

[RealAccountant]

Nice. Really happy Hendriks beat out Redmond.

 

Redmond has pitched well in meaningless situations a full WAR out of the bullpen through the last 2 years

[RealAccountant]

Yeah, Remond is not that good. And not as good as his results last year. No need to think twice about this one.

 

Dude has been a decent mop up man last 2 years

[KingKat]

Or Goins just sent back down when Saunders back. Tolleson back up MI, Pillar OF, Navarro C, and Valencia CI.

 

If that's the case then why bother calling up Goins at all?

[RealAccountant]

I'm disappointed by this. I thought he deserved more than 4 innings

Yeah if I had to choose between the last year of Brian Tallet and Redmond...

[Angrioter]

It's not about innings, it's about save 23M dollars Reyes' health.

Doubt we have a "4th OF"...more like Bautista playing first a few games and 1 OF DHing a few games.

[Angrioter]

Steamer has Hendriks out of the pen with 8.08 K/9, 1.38 BB/9, 3.39 ERA, 3.43 FIP, 0.2 WAR in 28 IP.

 

Wade-esque

‏Jose Reyes isn't taking pre-game groundballs or BP (on the field at least). He is in the starting lineup.

[burlingtonbandit]

Right move. Redmond looked terrible and you don't need a below avg long man with Hendricks and Estrada.

that was from yesterday wasn't it?

In which case Tolleson might still be needed to backup the OF and IF.

Glad to see Hendriks stay on. He is a good reliever.

[Angrioter]

Yep.

[KingKat]

Well s***. I thought he was taken off to give him rest on a blow out game, not that there is actually something wrong. Dammit Reyes, start eating your weeties!

 

Yeah I didn't realize that either. I guess this move isn't really about Redmond but about the need for an immediate fill in for Reyes. Redmond is merely the casualty.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Estrada next up?

[KingKat]

Estrada next up?

 

One of Estrada/Hynes/Tolleson/Goins.

[Travis_Snider]

I thought Redmond was solid

[glory]

One of Estrada/Hynes/Tolleson/Goins.

 

Man, if they cut Estrada, I'll be pissed. That's 4m they could have put into 2-3 relievers to avoid having to use Castro and Osuna, plus they traded someone useful for him.

 

I'm guessing Hynes and Tolleson are next up, in that order.

[NorthOf49]

I'm glad everyone's finally on the Hendriks train. He's damn good.

Good chance it's Goins that goes down as Tolleson has much more versatility. Would allow you to use Bautista at 1B and still DH another OF if you needed to.

Yesterday Hendriks was invisible to you, I say that he is good, and now ur splurting these stats. Hes got 2 clicks more on his FB in the bullpen right?

 

He will get a bunch of starts anyways after Sanchez gets demoted.

I'm thinking Estrada might clear though. I'd rather have him in the AAA rotation than the bullpen but I'm unclear how realistic expecting him to clear is. He's not cheap which could help.
