Drew Hutchison to AAA. Matt Hague and Ezequiel Carrera call up

[Angrioter]

BlueJays move to 4-man, option Drew Hutchison, bring up Matt Hague and Ezequiel Carrera: http://bit.ly/1MxP8DE

Cue rage.

[LTR]

Really dum. Drew's been our best starter.

[HERPDERP]

Hutch was demoted not due to performance but due to the fact that he wouldn't be used at all here. Best to let him get his usual start in the minors.

 

I'm disappointed that Thole is not up. Martin does not deserve any AB. He deserves a stint on the DL.

Who are you going to replace? Estrada? Dickey? Buehrle?

None!! Extra rest.

[Brownie19]

Really dum. Drew's been our best starter at home.

[Angrioter]

Drew to the bullpen is better idea

[LTR]

fixed

 

It doesn't work that way.

Drew Hutchison:

 

WAR: 1st

K/9: 1st

BB/9: 2nd

FIP: 1st

xFIP: 1st

Luck: 5th

[Daniel Labude]

Really dum. Drew's been our best starter.

 

I guess giving up 5 runs every 4 innings is good lol

[HERPDERP]

None!! Extra rest.

 

I don't know man. If we had 1 off day in a week, sure, but 3 days off in 8 days would mess up the rotation.

Can Hague play anywhere but first base? A right handed hitting first basemen eh? Is EE or Cola hurt?

[Daniel Labude]

Hopefully that happens when Stroman returns.

[Brownie19]

It doesn't work that way.

 

How on earth doesn't it work that way?

 

5.42 FIP and 4.69 xFIP on the road.

[RealAccountant]

Hutch is only going down to maintain the 5th day start as he won't be making a start on the road trip.

 

Anyone who thinks he is demoted is borderline troll.

[rookiefuzz]

Drew to the bullpen is better idea

 

Can he stay stretched out and get work in? I like Hutch or Estrada to AAA.

They're playing in Philadelphia tomorrow and Wednesday. Extra pinch hitters always come in handy in the National League.

 

 

You have to drop one of the starters, yes. I like Drew more than Estrada but the latter is likely out of options.

 

OK - that's a fair point. Wouldn't kill them to add someone with versatility though.

[Angrioter]

1-Lind traded for roster flexibility

2-Edwin, Colabello and Hague in the same roster.

[LTR]

Demoted for being the best starter on the team = lol

Home/away splits are stupid and meaningless... that's how. All that matters is overall performance and projections.

[Angrioter]

This could bring mental issues to Hutchison, one of our best pitchers.

[AdamLindsMom]

Doesn't he have to stay down for 15 days unless there's an injury?

 

I guess it's possible that Hague is only up for the Phillies series and then they could make a move to bring Thole up.

[Dr. Dinger]

More than anything, I'm annoyed that we're going to waste a roster spot on Ezequiel Carrera for a couple weeks, when we could get more help from Pompey.

[Dr. Dinger]

fff

[LTR]

Best starter on the team? WTF are you smoking? There isn't a single metric that lets you make this argument.

 

Drew Hutchison:

 

WAR: 1st

K/9: 1st

BB/9: 2nd

FIP: 1st

xFIP: 1st

Luck: 5th

Pompey has an ankle injury doesn't he?

I didn't realize you were completely disregarding David Price in that argument, carry on.

Pompey is hurt.

[Kelly Gruber]

Really dum. Drew's been our best starter.

 

12 wins, 2 losses.

 

Guy gives us an 85.7% chance to win every time out.

 

Is Buffalo on the verge of missing the playoffs and someone needed to push them in?
