Definitely one of AA's weaknesses is giving hacks like him extended time at the big league level. Any value Colabello brought to this team, he's pissed away.
I'm not saying he's great. I'm not sure that his true talent isn't much better than what it is now. A 3.8-4.0 FIP type of guy. But even so, he has still been one of the team's best starters. Moving him to the pen makes no sense at all.
Mike Fiers is essentially a 30 year old version of Hutch. Why should the Jays trade Hutch and Alford for him? Doesn't solve the rotation issue, and they lose a top 5 prospect within the org for a lateral move.
How are people still failing to understand Hutch has been one of our best starters this year? It blows my mind that people advocate moving him to the pen.
The butt hurt is off the charts over there. They're essentially a cult of morons who refuse to allow outside ideas inside their forum.
Things are about to get really bleak in Baltimore. It's really too bad we couldn't acquire someone like JJ Hardy!
