Maybe they should have just waited to take the picture.

 

This would have been wise, yes.

Only if it lasts for more than 4 hours. Right?

 

That's how that works?

Well there is a reason he is a part time player. He's a platoon bat since he can't hit LHP. That what I mean though he's only projected for half a win, is a team going to spend 4 Million on that at 1st base?

Smoak can hit LHP just as well as RHP...

 

E: Well at least he could before. I'll change it to passable against LHP.

 

He's been the same or better against LHP in 2015, 2014, 2012, and 2011.

Sanchez didn't even throw 200 IP across A+, AA and AAA before he made it up here. He has a lot to learn. You could argue he was barely developed at all.

 

Sanchez as a reliever is someone who you can't comfortably and routinely bring into high leverage scenarios because he does not get strikeouts and is susceptible to the babip gods. And he also has a bit of a problem against lefties. What you're left with is a guy who needs a clean inning, preferably filled with RHBs. He's certainly not a slam dunk late inning option as he is.

 

The opportunity cost of not developing him as a starter in AAA is that you are losing a middle reliever which is basically the lowest value you can attach to one of your better pitching prospects. I would rather he flames out in AAA then be content with him as, what, a good right handed reliever that ideally pitches the 7th?

 

Sanchez is not as hopeless as people think. He has one really important strength and that's his fastball. His fastball means he can go through an order 3 times. He's not like Hutchison where you can time him up and by the 3rd time you can hit that junk pitch. You can see Sanchez's fastball 100 times and it's still a f***ing bowling ball. You can either get under it or you can't. His OPS against went down the 3rd time through an order as a starter.

 

And I know you didn't mention this but deciding Osuna is a reliever after not even trying him as a starter is completely retarded. We don't HAVE to do these things. We can avoid doing these retarded things by just spending money. The bullpen is the easiest thing to fix. Just throw money at it. Not even alot, and you get the job done. You spend like 12M on Madson and Lowe and you have a good bullpen. You trade Revere and let Pompey outperform him and your total outlay is 6M. It's so simple to me.

 

Shapiro spoke of this on Sports Central, about both Sanchez and Hutch, suprisingly he didn't bring up Osuna, concerning development in the MLB and not the minors, it'll be interesting to see, what he has up his sleeve if at all. I tried to find the interview on their site, but to no avail.

^^Nothing good happens after 2 am...

 

There's no good reason to not at least try Osuna as a starter. He's only 20 years old, most pitchers his age are just reaching high A. He's clearly got major league stuff already and there's no reason he can't develop and refine his off speed pitches. I don't know what you would do with him now considering the current rotation but locking him into the bullpen at this point seems stupid as f***.

And Stroman is pointing at it.

 

#nohomo

 

I'm not going to delete your post but just going to point you to a certain website which has helped to change the way I speak and write these days. as the site says:

 

Homophobic language isn’t always meant to be hurtful,

but how often do we use it without thinking? - See more at: http://www.nohomophobes.com/#!/last-week/

 

There are obvious spikes during major sporting events. As someone who is entering into employment in the world of sport I am going to point this out every time I see any of these types of words or statements are used on pages I go to. You don't need to choose to change but I feel obliged to point it out.

 

Thanks.

I am convinced that no matter how many warnings and suspensions he gets, he'll never be banned for good.

I had a dream last night that Bautista was traded for Avisail Garcia and a couple of s***** prospects.
