What would you do to fix the Jays?

[SaskJaysFan_2]

For this season (mostly) and the next few seasons, what would you do?

 

Me? I'd do the following...

 

1. Trade for Hamels. We'd lose Sanchez and Osuna+ But we'd have a solid starter for 2.5 years.

2. Move Dickey to the bullpen (long relief, spot starter, whatever, essentially a Wakefield role)

3. Go with Hamels, Norris, Boyd, MB and Hutch as our starting five - maybe Wolf instead of Boyd

4. DFA Izturis

5. Find a way to get Muni of this roster. Because he's goddamn entertaining.

I know it's cool to hate on dickey these days but demoting him at this point in time is really dumb.

What's really dumb is keeping him in the rotation when he is absolutely s*****. It's not a demotion. The Dickey effect is real, and should be utilized more than once every 5 starts. Throw him in for 2-3 innings once in a while would be effective.

Trade Edwin, Dickey, and Buehrle at the all-star break. Also Cecil

And JB?

 

What sort of haul would you get for all of those players?

Move them to Montreal

Have Martin's dad play 'Careless Whisper' at the start of every game.

Kawasaki is injured

I'd put Osuna in the starting rotation, put Sanchez in the pen and have Norris take Estrada's spot. Move Boyd up to AAA

[dineke]

The jays are unfixable.

I like this idea more than my, honestly.

Kawasaki is injured

 

Crap. Didn't know that. His AAA numbers are solid.

[GD]

Rotation:

Buehrle

Hutchison

Norris

Boyd

Dickey

 

I wouldn't mind throwing Osuna into the rotation next year if he deserves it but he needs to build up his innings load. People are forgetting / might not even know that he had a very serious arm injury last year and has never thrown more than 100 IP.

As the fifth starter you can skip him starts here and there. Plus call up Boyd for a spot start here and there or have Estrada start for him on occasion when he needs rest

I feel like this may harm is performance a bit. No need to mess with him any more than skipping every important level. Castro will be back up soon, same with Norris, Boyd is good, etc.

 

Rotation might actually have some potential if we can find ways to get Dickey and Sanchez out of it.

Yep, Sanchez needs out of it pronto. I honestly wouldn't give him one more start. If he can return to 80% of what he was in the 'pen last year it'd be awesome. He'd be found money. But a demotion would be fine, too.

I don't think we'll see Castro this year, walking way too many guys. Oh yeah I forgot, this is the bluejays and they allow Sanchez to stink it up

[havok24]

Move them to Montreal

 

I was thinking Portland.

[IronLadle]

Let's just rebuild, AA tried and it didn't work. The thing that makes Billy Beane so good is he knows when to rebuild.

Nah, jays have an abundance of hitting and a shortage of pitching. JD has the highest trade value of the big 3.
