I think they've gotta be a bit careful with the 40 man roster at this point, they've added Smith Jr. and Alford already (neither of whom I assume they wanted to add quite this early).

 

Smith is fairly inconsequential. He's basically the new Harold Ramirez and the later could be DFA'd at any time. Ceciliani could also be kicked to the curb (presumably when Pompey reaches the allowable limit on a rehab assignment). Alford does get in the way but he might be a candidate for a transfer to the 60 day DL.

 

It's definitely tight but it's not like Leblejijian is all that young or all that important. They're probably not going to get a whole more out of him than whatever he can offer now.

[Clutchlings]

So here is a list of guys I like to follow in the minnors (when they are not injured). What pitchers should I add to the mix and what players are missing?

 

Vladimir Guerrero Jr

Bo Bichette

Anthony Alford

Danny jannsen

Max Pentecost

Lourdes Gurriel

 

Conner Greene

Sean Reid-Foley

Chris Rowley

Jordan Romano

T.J. Zeuch

Justin Maese

Patrick Murphy

Alford wasn't bad, he would have to be added in the offseason anyways so it's quite likely he was coming up at some point. The unfortunate injury is going to screw with his service time and likely end up making him a Super 2 unless they option him next year for a long time.

Yeah, the off season was a given, but if he didn't have to be added this year, we'd have another spot to play with to keep bringing Bolsinger types up... Unless he ends up on the 60 day, which I hope not... I'd really like to see him just steal the job from Carrera

I think he very well could have had he not been hurt. He was likely about to be sent back down when he got hurt but Carrera's ongoing garbage D and average bat probably would have played himself out of the lineup before too long

Alford was added to the Jays 40-man Nov. 18th, 2016. And they can just DFA Coghlan to make room for Leblejian.

Oh, my bad... Been a busy year, haven't been following as closely as I'd like.

Does the Deadpool counter go down to 36 now?

[Slade]

Interesting they are stretching out Sparkman. He had a nice start for the Fisher Cats 5IP 2H 1BB 5K.

Deadpool is never wrong, he might be misinformed, or confused, but he is never wrong!

 

Edit: Or drunk.

That's just beautiful.

With the Jays needing SP's next year, he's probably going to be kept and in the mix.

[Boxcar]

 

Goddamn.

[LGBJ29]

 

Anyone else noticed he hit a double which appears to be foul and also did not make it to 3rd base? lol

[John_Havok]

Those dots just represent the first point of contact of the ball on(or off) the field, not where the ball needed up.

 

A ball that first hits foul can still go back inside the bag at 3Rd (or 1st) and be ruled fair.

 

Though that doesn't explain the other mark down the left field line that also looks really foul.

I see some glaring holes.

Agreed. Opposing teams should definitely bring the OF's in to gobble up all those s***** singles.

I'm guessing a dropped ball.

[Brownie19]

If you drop a ball in foul territory - it's a foul ball, not a double.

[Brownie19]

 

I'd like to see him get some regular at bats...but I guess he won't with Zeke hitting so well.

He's up for Zeke

Yep - I see that now. Looks like I get my wish.

[vilifyingforce]

Unless they dove at in Zeke-ian fashion and pushed the ball foul despite the ball starting off as a fair ball.

Maybe it hit his glove in fair, bounced off, and landed foul?

[Bobthe4th]

Glenn Sparkman at double A for rehab. He's close to getting the next shot in the bullpen (because he's a rule 5 pick) though for some reason he's been starting.

Well we aren't exactly swimming in starting pitching depth, so probably a good idea to keep him stretched out in case he's needed for a spot start for some reason.
