Just watched a video of Russel Martin tribute for Canada Day. Choked me up. What a career. Classy move by Jays. Martin hugely underrated. #55 with a massive 55 career fWAR and his jersey belongs in the HOF.

1st pitch thrown out to #55 the new generation in Gabriel Moreno, too... it was awesome.

Hatch is confirmed for tomorrow.

 

I know people want to see Castillo, but this might be better for him. It kind of tells me that they might see him as a possible long man this year, and if he does well start next year. Or stripling role next year. That’s higher than spot starter on the heirarchy, right?

Might be but Hatch has not looked good as a pitcher in AAA this year, so shrugs.

Hopefully he does well tomorrow though (2020 throwback) 'cause while Rasmussen hasn't been lights out this year, he always finds a way to do well against Jays.

Yea, I’m not super optimistic. I’m interested to see how’s he’s used and how quick the hook is. Him and Lawrernce 3 innings each would have been interesting.

Cavan Biggio July 1st owns a 133 wRC+

 

They found the LHB they wanted

 

How do they keep him in the lineup?

He has a 89 stuff + and a 103 location plus, which doesn’t seem super ideal.

 

He was free, you really can’t expect much

These are the risks Rays take and try and turn them around. So hope it works out.

Of course they take risks by signing into minors but he has some interesting stuff and 0 options + cheap, so maybe can find something for him whenever we have a blowout.

Also RE: Rays

Yes they do have good pitching scouting, but if you think about it - we have really good bat scouting/development (that they don't have, three injuries and their entire offense is in the drain, incredibly thin), and we got Espinal (a prospect not even on the top 100 for sox when we traded Pearce for him) and look how he's turning out.

I also hope we don't trade Tiedemann, his stuff looks Shane McClanahan-esque.

I’m not sure where I heard this but I think the rays do this thing with relief pitching where they get guys with good stuff plus big injury risk and just figure that if they get enough of them someone will always be healthy. It doesn’t cost 40 man spots to have someone on the 60 day IL.

 

They are also prepared to pay real value to get those guys.

 

I think our hitting dev and scouting is top notch. Focusing on hit tool and character works imo.

 

One thing the rays do that I wish we would do (but I understand why we don’t … it could be incredibly unpopular) is trade good late 20s big leaguers while they are competing. The rays won 90 games the year they sold on archer. I think you have to be willing to sell big leaguers to leave yourself open to franchise defining rip off deals.

Since Maximo Castillo was sent down to the minors yesterday before Game 2, does he have to stay down in the minors for a certain amount of days before getting called up again?

It appears as though he will have to remain down for 10 days unless somebody goes onto the injured list.

Thanks. Asking because I know it was a doubleheader yesterday and thought maybe would have been different based on the circumstances. Though if someone does go on the IL, they could call him back up no problem.

Very Sad news.

 

Was this why all coaches met yesterday during the game? That's horrible Ned's man
