I'd assume he was probably throwing during the suspension too, just not in actual games. Not sure exactly how the rules work for that, but you can probably tack on the equivalent of another 30 innings to the total.
-
I don't see it as a concern, because he has the stuff (and the build also, it's not like he's a scrawny twig).
-
I don't consider Syndargaard or Stroman to have huge question marks. Sanchez a little more so.
-
Escobar did have a decent career, but it just didn't match his stuff. That guy had ace potential, but just couldn't stay focused throughout the entire game (hence the reason he kept bouncing to the pen). If I remember right, 95 to 97mph and a devastating splitter.
-
Shields, Masterson, Morrow, Syndergaard, Stroman with Sanchez ready to step in next year, and take over for Morrow the following year. It sure would be fun.
-
Considering the low salaries in that rotation, why not be greedy and have both Shields and Masterson in it? Shields, Masterson, Syndergaard, Stroman, Sanchez would be an unbelievably filthy rotation, with Alvarez traded to Seattle for Franklin

Players whom left the jays and then blossomed
Abomination replied to bigpaulie's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Some of those players didn't really blossom when they left, they just kept doing what they did here. In fact, some of them had their best seasons here. Kent I suppose, but was traded as a rookie so is probably a better discussion elsewhere. I would say Carpenter, Fielder, and Werth were the big ones that I can think of right now. -
Not too bad an interview (although a little awkward in parts). What's up with those shirts though?
-
Yeah, I'd want it a bit front loaded considering he'll be 33 when he signs it. Still, his velocity has actually increased a little the last few years, and we know he can be successful in our division.
-
AND a copy and paste fail lol
-
Based on age I'd certainly be more comfortable giving Masterson a 5 year deal than Shields, but I'd easily take Shields on a shorter deal.
-
This was pretty good (especially the part about Kawasaki and the USA/RUS game) http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/jays-to-open-spring-training-in-chilly-dunedin/

He loved math too!
-
He put up a 3.18 ERA in the second half of the season last year, with a K/BB of 3. The wins aren't a stretch if our offense if healthy (and no black hole at C or LF).
-
It might not be THAT big a stretch on Buehrle, even if unlikely - certainly more likely than Joyce at any rate imo.
-
Snider is an obvious one. I think Kelvim Escobar as well (soooo much potential). Also Josh Phelps.
-
That's too bad, I was kind of rooting for him.
-
But what if Boxy loses one of his good players?

AA: "We're still trying to sign a starter"

Weird, not letting me delete the other after double post. -
AA: "We're still trying to sign a starter"
Abomination replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
That one, the bees nest one, and the canoe one I think are my 3 favorite. -
I think King deserves a 24 hour ban for bumping this thread after it had finally died.
-
It's a little unclear as to how good Redmond is, but he's looking like he's better than run of the mill.

AA: "We're still trying to sign a starter"
Abomination replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
If you look at 2008, the Jays payroll compared to the non-ridiculous teams is very similar to what it was last year. In 2008, when you exclude the Yankees we had a 97.8M payroll and the other top teams had 130M to 138M. Last year when you exclude the Yankees and Dodgers, we had 117.5M and the other top teams had 148 to 165M. There has been a lot of inflation the last few years, so to ask what JPR could have done with a decent payroll - well he actually had one. -
I think Redmond would be the perfect long man, and if I remember right there was an article about him not caring what his role is - he just wants to be on the team.
-
Let him have a full season in AAA (catching a damn good rotation too I might add, and the arms he'll be catching up here in the future). No sense in bringing him up early when we have good options there already.
