Nothing official yet, just that he was sent for a 2nd opinion, doesn't sound good.

 

sometimes they do that with chronic / nagging stuff if doctor #1 couldn't find a clear diagnosis

Yeah, agreed, they initially said 4-6 weeks of rest, than he has to ramp it back up. He's gone for awhile regardless and as you said this stuff usually works it way out. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Jays in the market for a depth SP near the deadline.

It sounds weird, but I'm 100% okay with them taking all the time in the word with Ryu. Best case scenario, he gets back into the lineup later in the season and maybe helps out a bit at the end of the year and next.

 

Worst case, he gets TJ surgery later in the season and wont be back next year at all either and off into FA without embarassing himself further. Sunk money, but at least he would be a known absence they can plan to replace accordingly.

[G-Snarls]

these things tend to sort themselves out anyway

 

Trying to remember that last time a team had too much starting pitching and, ummmmmm..... I can't

 

[G-Snarls]

Thank God for having Stripling around...

 

Exactly the kind of guy you want on the roster for their flexibility

[Laika]

Checked in on Kendall Williams - good numbers. In A+ now. But he only got an HM on the Dodgers top prospect list with Fangraphs, which was done one month ago.

 

Depth Starters

Jerming Rosario, RHP

Braydon Fisher, RHP

Jimmy Lewis, RHP

Kendall Williams, RHP

 

Rosario sits in the low-90s, will creep into the mid-90s, and has a bevy of decent secondaries. He’s only 20 but isn’t all that projectable and he hasn’t sustained the advanced command he showed on the back fields. Fisher’s stuff has been all over the place, while Lewis’ and Williams’ were both down, with their fastballs hovering around 90 mph in our most recent looks at them.

What would be our pitching depth, Lawrence, Hatch, Juenger and Castillo, I think the Jays need to add at the deadline?

Yeah I dunno. It's not phenomenal. Nick Allgeyer, Trent Palmer in an emergency.

 

Couple s***** guys at AAA like Bowden Francis.

 

I think they are more likely to just piggy back two guys like Pearson and Thornton before giving any of these other sacks of potatoes an extended shot.

 

So:

 

Manoah

Gausman

Berrios

Stripling

Kikuchi

Ryu (ouch)

Pearson + partner

AAA/AA guys

 

Maybe they make another Stripling style trade and bring in a good swing man?

[Eat My Shatkins]

Looks like Bowden Francis isn't starting anymore.

 

His last 4-5 appearances have been in a relief role.

[Laika]

If Pearson could somehow get built up to just being a ~4 inning pitcher it would or could be a big deal.

 

Pearson for 60 pitches then the bullpen >>>> any depth SP they have

If Pearson could somehow do ANYTHING to contribute on the big league roster that would be great.
