Yeah, I would have moved quite a lot for Bruce if I knew he was available.
-
I feel like I'm missing part of the Jimmy Nelson appeal.
-
A flurry of moves for the frustrated former PHARM team GM, included an illegal Joe Musgrove panic add. Are the wheels falling off?
-
SG: all MiLB parts to your deals have been processed. You can post them on yahoo.
-
processing now

Dirty fingernails too.

Boxy hasn't been cranky for like six months. I'm assuming it correlates to his fingers healing.

Rick Westhead: Jose Bautista seeks 5 years $150M

Awesome hitter to watch, but I won't miss Bautista the person one bit. -
Rick Westhead: Jose Bautista seeks 5 years $150M
BTS replied to Spoonovic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
It came out awhile ago that he likely asked for more than 6/150. When asked about the 6/150 his response was simply "that's false". -

What does this even mean? The same as what? The gist of my post was that the team will let internal evaluations of his projected durability dictate his role, and we don't really have the information to complain either way. You seem to want to pick a fight, but it really isn't there.
-
This is probable. Oh well, I'm sure Romo will find his way back to the True Cardinals eventually. He always does.
-
This is really unbelievable.
-
I realized that I sound like an insane person without the context.
-
The outcome of today's game determines the pick that will be included in a trade to be announced this afternoon.
-
Looking forward to a big Jays victory today. Edit: I just saw the lineup
-
There's an unknown here that really prevents any of us from commenting on how this should be handled: we have no idea what they think of his ability to hold up under a starter's workload. This is a kid who's only 21, has already had TJS, and had never thrown 45 pro innings in a season before throwing 69 last year. It would be perfectly defensible for the team to doubt his durability as a starter and prefer to keep him in a role where he throws 60-70 high leverage innings a year. Or maybe they think he can start, and he will be stretched out next spring. Either way, we kind of have to just defer to their determination of the best role for him.
-
Actions speak louder than words though. I think the probability of him ever starting took a sizable hit when it didn't happen in ST this year. I'll reiterate that I think letting him provide 1-2 wins as a reliever is a perfectly valid plan.
-
I know he can still stretch out if they want him too. I'm just pretty skeptical about that being the plan. It would be very unusual for a team to leave an arm in the pen for two years (after making just 29 MiLB starts) if they saw him eventually moving to the rotation. If I'm putting money down, it's on him spending his last four years of team control after 2016 as a reliever.
-
Yeah, of course.
-
Waino was just one year in the pen. Sale was his draft year and then a full season.
-
Why does preferring Osuna as a reliever have to e shortsighted? There are perfectly valid reasons to leave him where he is. All I'm saying is that it's almost unprecedented for a team to leave a young arm in the pen for two years and then transition him successfully to the rotation. And you run in to diminishing returns. The more time and bullets he spends relieving now, the less/fewer he has to give you later.
-
If they wanted him to start, this was probably the year. This is a kid with 29 pro starts entering his 5th season with the org. It's almost unheard of for a pitcher to spend multiple seasons in a bullpen and then transition into the rotation. I don't think they're particularly interested in him starting.
-
I was saying this a year ago

Don't hate the hustle bruh Die.
