Speaking of Jesse Chavez...should I claim him in my 30-team dynasty league for 500K haha? Shocked nobody has yet. Thing is, I'd have to drop Brett Cecil and Franklin Morales to clear salary. -
I think he can be decent. Don't expect him to sustain this success as a starter however. His career WAR is still -0.2, so he really hasn't displayed success over an extended period of time at the MLB level, and was hardly used as a starter in the minors. I think he can go on and have a similar season like Chad Gaudin did in 2007 (1.9 WAR) over a full season. Definitely possible if he's able to hold up for 200 innings. I just don't see how people all of a sudden have projected him to be such a great starter when he doesn't have a long history of being a starter in both the majors and the minors. Also, it's not like he's been lights out in the minors anyways and he's already 30-years-old. It's a nice story to see no doubt, though there is no way anybody saw this start coming and it's pretty unlikely this continues.

Have you followed Jesse Chavez since he was drafted?
-
Career .313 OBP

It's not like he's 22 or 23 - he was 28 when the Jays let him go and spent most of his career as a reliever. He has never had success as a starter in the minors and he's only made 24 career starts in the minors as well. He's been mostly a reliever all throughout his career. I'm not jumping on the bandwagon after he's only made 3 starts. I need to see more than that to believe he is for real. As for the Jays letting go of him, what did Chavez show before that warranted him staying around? Not much. So I'm not upset that the Jays didn't keep Chavez.
-
Though can't hit. I'm shocked he hasn't been called up for the time being. It's crazy that the Jays are playing Bautista in CF. They can't afford him getting hurt.
-
Two starts against Minnesota and Seattle - not the deepest lineups in baseball. I'll give him the Angels, though they were without Hamilton and outside of Trout and Pujols, the rest of their lineup is nothing to fear.
-
Also, if Bautista does get injured playing CF, I think AA should be to blame. Never went out there this offseason and tried to get a backup CF.
-
They better tell him not to play like he's Grady Sizemore out there, crashing into walls and diving for balls and such. The Jays can't afford missing Bautista for any extended period of time.
-
I'll take Bautista.
-
McCown and Cox will for sure on PTS.
-
Lets focus on the month of April and worry about September. Ken is already panicking about September!
-
First off, will McGowan even last that long lol? I'm tempering my expectations with Morrow and McGowan. You for sure will see Stroman up at some point in May/June and Sanchez possibly in August.
-
Also, Chavez likely doesn't pitch this season out of the rotation if not for injuries to Parker and Griffin this spring.
-
He was never successful as a starter in the Majors, so what makes you think he'd all of a sudden have success pitching with Toronto as a starter? I've always liked him as a reliever, though giving him a rotation spot would have been absurd. Members on here would have even bashed AA more. I don't see him sustaining this success over a full season.
-
I see Chavez burning out at some point - there is no way he can sustain this type of success. I expect a Chad Gaudin 2007 type season from him when all is said and done if he spends the entire season in the rotation.
-
If AA said he was giving Jesse Chavez a rotation spot, this whole board would have freaked.
-
It's only 3 starts.
-
Well they could always make it retroactive to April 13th.
-
This team should have a backup who could play CF. Using Bautista in CF is a joke. If the Jays got someone like Gentry or Ruggiano in the offseason, they wouldn't be having this issue.
-
Hopefully nothing happens to a fan at the Twins game or kgm1 will be worried it was Spanky lol.
-
You would think they'd build a park similar to Milwaukee's or Houston's especially in Minnesota.
-
I'm in Minnesota right now with Spanky. Here for the Jays series - I'll keep you guys posted with the weather.
-
Ian Kennedy is available. I've received some inquiries about him from numerous managers.
-
I checked the spreadsheet and his name didn't appear. Since Espinosa is getting some playing time now, I figured roll the dice with him haha.
