That's not a bad idea either. But if Norris looks like the best pitcher among him, Sanchez and Estrada, you just have to have him on the team to start the year
I have no problem with this given the situation the Stroman injury has put us in
If Sanchez and Norris both somehow work out well in the rotation (rather unlikely but possible) then we're golden. If one of them falters (much more likely) then Estrada or Santana can step in and we can option the underperformer to the minor leagues.
f***. We used to be so jealous of Oakland and Tampa because they always had these good young arms that kept coming up and being successful. That could now be us for a change. Let's be happy about it.
Prob true. And the Stroman injury has obviously forced their hand. If they view Sanchez as a starter then right now they should be treating him as one and they are. Whether it works out we'll have to wait and see of course...
Here's hoping Santana declares himself as useful by late April. That would sure help. But I'm not holding my breath. When/where will he be pitching anyway????
Yes. It's more the hit tool and the baseball IQ. Gose is faster but Pompey already seems like a better base runner and his hitting looks far superior. Gose has a bit more range in the OF (his range is absolutely ridiculous) but I can't see him ever hitting half as well as Pompey based on all their minor league data.
