General 2019 Blue Jays Discussion Thread

I'm sure Urena can manage a passable Freddy Galvis impersonation ROS and maybe next year as a utility/bench guy.

 

No offense, but Urena's posted a wRC+ in the high 60's over his last 1,282 PA's in AA and AAA. He's solid defensively, but utterly useless at the plate. It seems really unlikely he'll ever deserve a spot on the 25 man roster, let alone replicate Galvis' production at the ML level.

Stop giving Vlad days off after a good game

Load management, that of the weight variety.

Ideally, Vladdy, Bichette and Biggio get enough time that the utility infielder is used rarely if ever. Just need a warm body there to fill in for a blow-out or two.

[Krylian]

 

Of course

[Carlos Danger]

Of course

 

Noooooooooooooo ACEucki..

[PhillyBlueJay]

Tommy John...

[Krylian]

Tommy John...

 

Good thing we got his replacement in Kay.

[DigitalRock]

Jesus no luck with pitchers.

[Angrioter]

Burocki is nothing

[M.E.]

They just said continued issues from bone spurs

[L54]

Remember when everyone was pissed Clayton Richard and Clay Buchholz were going to take innings away from Ryan Bourucki and Trent Thornton? Good times

[Slade]

I think it's likely he goes down for the rest of the season for surgery to remove the bone spur giving him issues.

[PhillyBlueJay]

Agree, he needs them removed both for physical issues and on going problem, but also for his mental approach from not holding him back in his mind in fear of re-occurrence.

 

Put him under the knife now sooner than better for next season, bone spurs don't fade away..

[Carlos Danger]

Burocki is nothing

 

He was our best pitcher in 2018... If not injured, no reason he cant replicate that, he is also a lefty.. Very dismissive post considering what we have in the system..

[P2F]

 

Weird. Abom must've just acquired him in fantasy.

 

*Looks*

 

Yep.

[SaskJaysFan_2]

Tommy John...

 

Sounds like bone spurs in elbow. Minor. I had them removed from my pitching arm and I was fine in a few weeks.

[Pinkfloid]

And now Lourdes goes down with right knee discomfort. Ugh

[BTS]

He's pretty much had 3 full seasons lost to injury since being drafted. The massive injury risk is part of the Ryan Borucki package.

[Krylian]

This team is gonna force its way into a Top 3 pick next draft come hell or high water.

[KevinGregg]

We may never win another game this whole season. Ken Giles might as well just be the opener 3 games a week cuz he's never going to have a save situation again

[Abomination]

If our pitching doesn't completely implode (and that's a huge if), I think we could actually play close to .500 ball the rest of the season. We have a lot of high end young bats who could make a lot of noise, and a lot of young players very eager to make an impression.

He's not Mexican. Ang no like.

ya the position players are super exciting for sure. There's just literally no pitching (we can see why Atkins went out and got like 8 pitchers this deadline)

[SaskJaysFan_2]

So the next wave(s) of starting pitching...what are you guys thinking...assuming healthy (for hypothetics)

 

Wave 1 (now and part of 2020)

-----------------------------------

Wag

Thornton

Zeuch

Borucki

SRF

 

 

Wave 2 (as early as June 2020?)

------------------------------------

Pearson

Kay

 

 

Wave 3 (2021?)

-----------------------------

Murphy

Manoah

 

Wave 4 (2022+)

-------------------------

The kids

 

 

How do you see it?

I would say (some of these guys may get cups of coffee the year before):

 

Wave 1 (now)

-----------------------------------

Wag

Thornton

Borucki

SRF

Merryweather

Pannone (I think he gets a legit chance to start)

 

 

Wave 2 (2020)

------------------------------------

Pearson

Kay

Zeuch

 

 

Wave 3 (2021)

-----------------------------

Luciano

Murphy

Diaz

 

 

Wave 4 (2022)

-------------------------

Pardinho

Woods-Richardson

Manoah

Kloffenstein

[Angrioter]

 

Thornton s*** command, SRF can't command the fastball, Zeuch the Jordan Zimmerman clone, Murphy the guy who cheated baseball with his ileal move, Borucki the kid that can't be healthy, Merrywather the new Danny Salazar?

I forgot about Merryweather. And Pannone had a very good start, and some decent relief innings. I was thinking Luciano 2022+ on, but he's got to be 20 now, and he's had a stint. So good call there. There are a lot of pitchers to become starters...and the only sure ones IMO are Pearson and Manoah at this point. Sure thing as in ace-ish.

Pardinho, SWR and Manoah will probably be 2021 in some fashion I think
