Blue Jays 5th Starter: Aaron Sanchez

[burlingtonbandit]

Board-Broken.

 

I'm actually pretty excited for this. Funny that Stroman was the first person to tweet it out before any of the insiders.

[Angrioter]

f***. Now my bullpen suxx

The #BlueJays decision to option Drew Hutchison to Buffalo inevitable. Won't be happy, but needs to be ace for Bisons and chance will come.

I'm really interested to see how Floyd pitches in the pen and how the blue jays use him. I really like the look of the pen having Floyd, Biagini (assuming he makes it) and Chavez all being able to throw multiple innings.

[Zaun of the Dead]

f*** yeah. kid deserves a chance. next year, Osuna!

Has AS gotten better?

Piggyback Sanchez-Floyd, and Happ-Chavez

John Lott

Sanchez starts, but not for whole season. Will have a workload limit, back to pen later. Gibbons deliberately imprecise on that point.

 

Barry Davis

The #bluejays won't confirm where Sanchez will fit in rotation but I'm hearing he'll start 3rd game in TB

Probably

The way I would do it is have a much shorter leash on all non-Stroman starters. I would think about always saving 1 of Osuna, Cecil and Storen each night so you don't have to have those guys pitch as many back to back games. Floyd could be a really good reliever.

Osuna, Floyd, Chavez and Biagini multiple innings relievers in the same bullpen. Great!!

I would start him against the Red Sox. Blue Jays turf is slower than the Rays one and TB will put more LHH in the lineup. Also Happ is less likely to give up a HR at the Trop than RC.

 

Edit: Didn't realize the Dickey effect. Makes more sense now as he would get the advantage in future starts.

[Jonn]

I'm fine with this. He pitched well enough in the Spring to get another shot. If all fails hes back in the pen. We have depth and insurance options.

Maybe Sanchez' last chance. Next year is Osuna time to start

Osuna keeps saying he doesn't want to start which is beyond bizarre. I just hope they name Storen closer.

Gibbons: "We put our heads together and came up with this decision ... wasn't like it was totally mine. But it turned out the way I wanted."

 

Confirmed: Gibbons hates Floyd; prejudice.

What happened to your donkey?

[o2cui2i]

when was the last time the Jays had this much depth throughout the club for major league spots? It feels really good going into the season knowing we are not ONE injury away from disaster.

[glory]

Why does everyone listen to Gibbons? First Valencia gets DFA'ed for him, and now they f*** over Floyd instead of using Sanchez's options to the team's advantage. Could have let Floyd's arm fall off as a SP before putting him the pen/replacing him with Sanchez later on.

 

Maybe Floyd can be our Joe Blanton now.

What?

[CultofShatkins]

I bet Hutchison is thrilled to be sent down to Buffalo to work with Jimenez.

 

[HERPDERP]

What?

 

Mark Shapiro's dad, Ron, operates a sports management agency that includes Gavin Floyd.

So wouldn't having Floyd start be better? Go write a book.

[mellowgold]

The only logical decision.

[KinofChaos]

Can't blame the Jays for this, he has looked pretty good the spring, deserves a shot.

Floyd hasn't been an effective starter in a long time, is old, and has had his elbow shatter twice. I'm not sure why you think he can be an effective starter.

 

Let alone, the guy is a FA and we have no reason to have any goodwill towards him.
