Still looking to move futures for arm(s).
Some package of Austin Riley (now at .938 OPS in AAA with 20% K rate) on my MLB roster, my prospects except for Wander Franco, and MiLB 25 available for the right arms.
Could also use an upgrade at 2B from Danny Santana. Not buying his SSS performance.
Anyway, Pearson should also be in the discussion of best pitching prospect.
Mize is an advanced pitcher who should be killing it against minor league players that have never seen him before.
I took issue with saskjaysfan in his original comment "I think stroman is a 3.5+ win pitcher" which is not supported by the data.
No need to misinterpret what I wrote in a clearly negative way.
No need to mention his injury record. Injuries are baked into the results. Some players, and pitchers in particular, are more susceptible to injury than others.
Stroman is capable of 3.5+, no question and will likely exceed it once or twice. But to expect 3.5+ WAR going forward is incorrect.
You sign him if a reasonable deal can be had, trade him if not.
You said he's a 3.5+ WAR pitcher when he has never exceeded that in his 6 seasons. A nice April does not eclipse 6 seasons of data.
Free agency / trade are options in addition to promoting prospects acquired by draft or trade.
Stroman is more valuable to a contending team than he is to the Jays. If you can get a haul for him, you make the deal.
Saying not trade Stroman is dumb. Depends on the available return.
