Because you said JD is not good enough

 

Not good enough to make it the best trade ever. How is that not obvious to everyone but a buffoon like boxcar?

Every team in the AL East is on a losing streak of at least 2 games at the moment.

 

No panic required :)

at least we're the only team that's over .500 in the past 10 games. so we've gained 2 games in the last 10, i'll take that.

Unnecessary move

 

If the PTBNL is not BP help, then I absolutely hate this move. He could have been our Rich Hill, judging from his K/9, FIP, etc.

We know Sanchez is being replaced by Hutchison.

 

We also know that Stroman sucks balls and could end up tiring by seasons end since he will be having a huge innings jump as well.

 

So who is going to replace Stroman? We could use Chavez in that role, but he is turning into a valuable BP piece.

 

We really didn't need to give up LeBlanc unless he's a shitballer who is doing better than his stuff indicates. I'd give him more of a shot than Antolin.

lol come on dude...

 

Rich Hill strikes out way more guys and gets more groundballs while doing it at the big league level. Leblanc's strikeout and walk numbers aren't much different than his entire MILB career.

When you have an opportunity to cling to a 31 year old journeyman who sits 87 and has had no tangible success in the majors, you do it.

He's another Jeff Francis and Scott Diamond yet people are making a fuss about about him leaving lol.

 

But performing better or now stats don't count in this forum either?

 

Might have been value in using him in the pen or if someone goes down or amuck again!!!

Steamer has a pretty good projection for LeBlanc.

 

But all of the sudden we have some decent RP depth with Cecil and Morales beginning rehab assignments, Loup refinding his way in AAA and Sanchez inevitably moving to the BP.

 

That said we don't have any starting depth. Hutch will soon be the #5- I suppose that makes Chavez the #6? They must just see LeBlanc as a RP only. Good for them for getting something for him.

He'd be like #12 on the pen depth chart.

 

Loup, Girado, Cecil, Venditte and Morales are all ahead of him as Lefties.

Good Cecil yes injured Cecil no bad Cecil maybe, as for the rest not sure about that they are not exactly studs by any means either!!!

 

Plus out of the pen he may have had more upside and recieved a bump in his numbers too!!!

The odds that a PTBNL is the next Ortiz is far and few. I feel like when Hutch moves to the rotation we have no one behind. Who's getting called up to take Leblanc's spot in Buffalo ?

They can always acquire rotation depth... They have Floyd and Chavez as well who were brought in to be rotation depth.

Exactly and especially after all off season we were told we were trying to build depth because of a lack of it!!!

We'd have to send Floyd/Chavez to AAA for a month to stretch him out at this point. The reality is - we have no more depth behind Hutch outside of Diamond (who sucks).

Floyd hasn't been a regular starter in what 4+ years?... Leblanc would likely have better results with no stretching out to be done and Chavez' HR rate is scary in this division as a starter (even though it's unsustainable.)

 

We had depth, we just moved it... why?

Chavez or Floyd could probably go 3 innings for a start. Leblanc gives you what 5 innings if he doesn't get pulled before then?

 

Leblanc isn't good so what difference does it make..

When Sanchez gets moved to the BP are we running an 8 man pen or will someone get cut? Girodo's spot will be Cecil's soon and Biagini is here for the year. It could also mean someone is available for trade such as Floyd / Chavez / Storen? I believe Osuna/Sanchez are the only arms that can be optioned.
