General 2016 Blue Jays discussion thread
Laika replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Stroman threw 166 in 2014, including the minors. Sanchez' 139 this year is already a career high. He is also coming directly off a conversion from relief. And he has worse mechanics, by far. Even with moving to the pen he might end up around what, 170? At least they aren't planning on simply shutting him down. -
Dick Urena promoted to NEW HAMPSHA. AA is a huge test. The three biggest tests for pro players: 1. Pro ball, whatever the debut level 2. AA 3. MLB
-
He's making at least one more start. They haven't said if it will be his last for sure. Seems like it though.
-
I don't "pound" anybody because I respect women!

You two are unbelievably ignorant. Clearly this farm is in the 12-16 range.

Yennsy Diaz, RHP, Toronto Blue Jays (Rookie Bluefield): 6 IP, 2 H, BB, 8 K. Diaz has quickly emerged as one of the premier talents Toronto scooped up in its 2014 international spending spree, generating mid-90’s velocity despite a modest frame thanks to premium arm speed and athleticism. The secondaries are what we call “developmental,” but that’s okay, because he’s in Rookie ball, so he fits right in. The change shows the most promise, and he’s managed to hold his own in the Appy despite being young for the level.

Dickey's numbers are worse than I thought. Hmm.
-
Joe, don't worry - Toronto is trash against pitchers they haven't seen before.
-
Man, talk about a big league debut. Ok Danny, we only have like two relievers tonight and you're one of them. You'll be facing the middle of the Astros order in the 8th inning of a one run game, on the road, in a tight playoff race. Go get 'em.

Danny BarnesVerified account @DjbMantis Pitching to contact is overrated
-
Max Pentecost already has a 3B and 2B tonight. Bat is too advanced for Lansing!

Trade Osuna now, considering the reliever bubble

Everybody in MLB has scouts that like them. You can't give scouts credit generally for everybody that figures out how to be great. If so, you can also say scouts are f***ing garbage because Travis Snider and Dom Brown suck butts -
So Grant and JFaS are normal while Dinger and I have diagnosable personality disorders. Says a lot about this place
-
Apparently I am Schizoid. lmao

They are missing the point. Pittsburgh has always been a low-budget team. The $17M that they saved here is very important and will be reinvested in something.
-
lmao
-
FWIW Stroman made a lot of really bad pitches in the first few innings yesterday that Houston simply missed and watched. Lots of hanging breaking balls. Like, ten.

On a more serious note, many mental illnesses are probably more properly considered (and helped) under a social model of disability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_model_of_disability As opposed to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_model_of_disability

Grant is basically Temple Grandin, except with bugs instead of cows.
-
He is extremely high functioning. He has a science degree and he can play the tuba and everything.
-
They probably expect someone with a 94 wRC+ in AA to never be a good hitter. It's amazing how much of a super-fan you are.
-
They shouldn't be wishing and hoping that his bat blossoms at this point. If it happens, it will be a nice surprise. It very likely won't though.
-
Yeah they were garbage trades. I hate them. I wonder if Toronto will try Liriano as a late inning lefty in the playoffs, assuming he never finds "it" as a starter this year.
