Captain_Obvious Verified Member Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 honestly why even have Tiedemann pitch in the minors he can probably throw like 130 innings this year just put him on a plan to throw 100 as a SP then finish out the year in the pen Some reasons: 1- He looked great, but it was just one inning. 2- If Kikuchi and White and other depth options suck, we will probably see him Tiedemann in 2023. But if Kikuchi starts performing like a respectable #4, then the rotation would be full barring an injury or a trade. 3- While Tiedemann could be better than most of the pitchers in the current rotation, he is not on the 40 man roster. There is some asset management aspect to the decision.
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Jays will have two 40 man spots to work with when Ryu and Green head to the DL
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Imagine if the Jays have a home grown McClanahan waiting in the wings

Krylian Old-Timey Member Posted March 1, 2023 Author Posted March 1, 2023 Aim higher. a left handed Jose Fernandez. He's Sandy Koufax. Period.
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 What scenario would have to happen to see Tiedemann break camp with the Jays though? Top 4 are as written in stone as it gets, and if Kikuchi has a spring that is even close to his first outing, he's the #5. Then Ryu comes back late in the season... no way he pitches out of the pen... there would have to be at least 1 long term injury to the starting 5, or kikuchi would have to lay a giant egg for the rest of ST for them to even consider using Tiedemann out of the gate, especially with him being good for about 130ish innings for the entire season.

Agreed. Something significant needs to happen for Tiedemann to pitch in Toronto. If Kikuchi becomes reasonably effective, then there is simply no room for him barring an injury or a trade. It is not the worst outcome for him to build up his innings load in AA and AAA throughout 2023.

At least 2 injuries... Bassitt is still throwing 88 at the end of spring then goes of the IL with the kiss of death "forearm soreness" (soon to be TJ). Another starter does down for some reason. I think if if you lose 2 starters they seriously consider having Ricky break camp.
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Odds are stacked against him starting the year in Toronto but he’s going to be viewed the same as the Phillies view Andrew Painter. Elite arm on a contender ready to insert into the rotation when an opportunity presents itself. Could either be injury or performance. Having guys like Barger and Tiedemann turn into core pieces would be like Strider and Harris with Atlanta last year.
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Aim higher. a left handed Jose Fernandez. Wow! Why stop there? The next Randy Johnson
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Wow! Why stop there? The next Randy Johnson That’s just crazy talk, give the kid a break
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Jimmy Robbins must have been giving the pitch fx trouble, according to his 3d map today, he throws his 4 seam fastball at 89, his sinker 92-94, changeup at 89 and slider at 89. That’s some weird ass s***.
Krylian Old-Timey Member Posted March 1, 2023 Author Posted March 1, 2023 Wow! Why stop there? The next Randy Johnson Randy Johnson didn't have Tiedemann's changeup.
WryNGinger Verified Member Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Wow! Why stop there? The next Randy Johnson Needs to kill a bird first. Who would be the modern-day version of Kruk for him to scare the s*** out of?
Krylian Old-Timey Member Posted March 1, 2023 Author Posted March 1, 2023 Needs to kill a bird first. Who would be the modern-day version of Kruk for him to scare the s*** out of? Daniel Vogelbach
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Needs to kill a bird first. Who would be the modern-day version of Kruk for him to scare the s*** out of? Kyle Schwarber
Spanky__99 Old-Timey Member Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Needs to kill a bird first. Who would be the modern-day version of Kruk for him to scare the s*** out of? Blue Jays own, Brandon Belt or Jose Abreu.
Spanky__99 Old-Timey Member Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Daniel Vogelbach Kyle Schwarber Nah, Kruk was far better than those guys, bodies are similar, I guess Schwarber could reach his WAR, different hitters though.
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Nah, Kruk was far better than those guys, bodies are similar, I guess Schwarber could reach his WAR, different hitters though. Brick white men who hit from the left side in a Phillies uniform
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Who’s better Brandon Belt or Kyle Schwarber
Grant77 Old-Timey Member Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Who’s better Brandon Belt or Kyle Schwarber Certainly the latter if you mean for 2023.
Krylian Old-Timey Member Posted March 1, 2023 Author Posted March 1, 2023 Nah, Kruk was far better than those guys, bodies are similar, I guess Schwarber could reach his WAR, different hitters though. Body is all that matters in this instance. Get a rotund lefty bat up there against Tiedemann and set him loose.
WryNGinger Verified Member Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Body is all that matters in this instance. Get a rotund lefty bat up there against Tiedemann and set him loose. Yup. Chunky, dirty and scared of head-high heat is all I was thinking about...lol.
BlueRocky Old-Timey Member Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Aim higher. a left handed Jose Fernandez. Keep him away from boats.. or helicopters. Boats AND helicopters. Actually, piloting any type of aircraft or water vehicle.
connorp Old-Timey Member Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Would’ve liked Painter to go scoreless today but guess it could’ve been worse.
Dagagad Verified Member Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Listening to the mlb pipeline and they did some off the cuff rankings of the NL and AL east farm systems. We were 5th ahead of the yanks and red sox. Kind of surprising. The impression im getting from a lot of different prospect guys is that they seem to like whatÂ’s coming up from A ball and below.

Yankees system is always overrated as f***. Glad we got some respect
