General 2016 Blue Jays discussion thread

[intentional wok]

I'm genuinely shocked that anyone believed otherwise re: Sanchez and the pen. It's been a constant undercurrent all year for a reason.

[John_Havok]

OUT:

Drew Hutchison (AAA) - to PIT

Drew Storen - to SEA

Jesse Chavez - to LAD

Guadalupe Chavez (A) - to HOU

Hansel Rodriguez (A) - to SD

 

Good thing we didn't have a Drew Chavez.. he'd be gone for sure

[jaysguy44]

They made a great move for Pearce. They needed pitching but they shouldn't be jealous.

 

Apparently Ramirez would be their best prospect? I'm not too familiar with prospects outside of the Bluejays organization, is this true? Sounds pretty ridiculous that Ramirez is that legit and we got him for hutch

[Daniel Labude]

s***** news.

 

This added with Tulo basically breaking his thumb and Donaldson being scratched tonight...crappy few days

[Belliss101]

Stressed about the Donaldson injury. Hopefully he's fine and just needs a day

[Atothe]

Jays are getting Reese McGuire from the Pirates too

[Stangstag]

I don't like that fact that we have 0 infielders on the bench for today's game.

Who dat

[EdwinsParrot]

Tulo injury sucks even more with JD struggling with his legs.

Ramirez was ranked their #5 prospect by fangraphs prior to 2016, and McGuire was #3.

 

Both are hit tool oriented guys with minimal power, but with McGuire being also a decent rated defensive catcher, he becomes Martin's replacement down the line.

I thought Pentecost was martins replacement down the line

Nice. Like I've stated previously, I don't know a whole lot about prospects. Where would these guys rank in the Jays system now?

[vilifyingforce]

Could be either. Or somebody else.

John Gibbons: Aaron Sanchez will make scheduled start Friday in KC. #BlueJays #MLB

Gibbons was in a lengthy meeting with Sanchez, Pete Walker and Dane Johnson. Wouldn't reve

[Pendleton]

Both prospects would now be in the mix for our top five, no?

I don't think Pentecost is a catcher long term. Probably has to move to 2B eventually and hope the bat carries him.

[Dylan]

ugly lineup tonight

[fatcowxlive]

I think he's had injuries and will probably move positions no?

[Effit]

Atkins looks like he hasn't slept in a week.

Not only are the Jays a much better team right now than they were a week ago, their farm system is also somehow stronger. Very good stuff.

[fatcowxlive]

Lets look at the 25 man roster now for clarity:

 

RF Bautista

3B Donaldson

DH Encarnacion

LF Saunders

SS Tulowitski

C Martin

1B Smoak

CF Pillar

2B Travis

 

C Thole

INF Barney

UTL Goins

OF Upton

 

SP Stroman

SP Estrada

SP Happ

SP Dickey

SP Liariano

 

RHP Feldman

RHP Shultz

RHP Biagini

LHP Cecil

RHP Benoit

RHP Grilli

RHP Sanchez

RHP Osuna

 

By my count that's 26, what do I have wrong? Also where do we have Liariano stashed? As the 6th starter until Sanchez goes in the pen? He pitched yesterday so he can go Saturday

When all the dust settles Shulz probably optioned. When Carrera comes back they may take him over Goins depending on the health of the infield. I guess they only need to make it one month until September and then they can both of them and Shulz and whoever else they want.

 

Carrera might make more sense than Goins in the playoffs anyway. He can be used along with Upton to replace the corner OF defense and he's also a better pinch runner and pinch hitter.

[43211234]

Lost in all the deadline moves is the fact that Joe Musgrove will be making his major league debut tonight against his former organization.

[gruber92]

JD not in the line up tonight. Is he ok?

[Daniel Labude]

Resting to try and get rid of the tight hammy once and for all

[candymartinez]

Sanchez to the bullpen is just AWFUL. Really? This was their plan all season?

If for some reason they think they can prevent injuries by limiting innings why didn't they skip starts? Piggy back with Hutch? Start his season in June? Anything else would be better.

 

Taking their best starter out of the rotation for the end of the season and playoffs is beyond dumb.

 

Him getting hurt early next year would be s***** for him and the Jays in 2017 but would be better long term for the Jays so they ditch this thinking that they can prevent injuries doing this.

[RealAccountant]

Lol Musgrave is going to get eaten alive

[Belliss101]

Is anyone doing GDT? Todd?
