    feel free to add...what kind of pitcher do you think Sanchez is?
  15. saskjayfan
    I guess he's A-typical then..lol Sanchez has beautiful mechanics...kid is a true stud pitcher
  16. saskjayfan
    be bold...start a gdt for today
  17. saskjayfan
    yes...some players get better with age. Sanchez will not because you said so. He's a number 5 or middle reliever...got it. I'm sure he will start pitching poorly soon.
  18. saskjayfan
    I did...hands up. I did so with the premise that he will improve his change up and curveball as time goes on and right now he throws almost exclusively fast balls that hitters can sit on. As a starter he will throw the fastball far less often, so even with decreased velocity he will get more swinging strikes by mixing up his pitches and throwing a better curve and change up.
  19. saskjayfan
    yeah....why would you ignore data in leagues where a pitcher is more concerned about making mechanical adjustments than being concerned about getting outs? Oh wait....as I read that statement, it all becomes clear. Was Sanchez a stud from day one like some..no. Did he need some polish...absolutely. Nobody on here intimately knows what mental and mechanical adjustments the kid went through in his time in the minors. People don't know what his tendencies were, what his struggles were with...other than obvious statements like he walked too many guys. What mechanically was he doing that prevented him from throwing strikes. AA talked about him making adjustments in buffalo in late June they thought would help him. You look at how he pitched from june 30th on in buffalo and you're closing in on 50 innings of work with a low walk rate. Still not a huge sample size, but spread over way more outings than if he was a starter.

    Sanchez obviously needs to work on his all of his pitches, but he's throwing the fastball 84% of the time. Batters basically know what is coming so his swinging strike percentage is going to be lower as batters cheat to that fastball, but they still can't hit the fastball. That just shows how dominant the pitch is. As a starter that fastball percentage will likely be closer to 60%. His swinging strike percentage will go up. His upside is undeniable. Whether he becomes a number 1 or a number 2 is something we won't know for years. Yes there's a good chance he doesn't live up to expectations, but there's also a good chance he does. I don't see why some people aren't at least excited at the prospect of him being able to become a great pitcher.
  21. saskjayfan
    yeah let's ignore his ground ball percentage too. Let's ignore the fact that he throws the baseball in a fashion that few are able to throw it.
  22. saskjayfan
    I agree....don't trust your eyes..don't trust what he's done in the majors. The sample size is too small. The minor league stats are all that matter...They tell the story...let's trade Sanchez now!
  23. saskjayfan
    Expecting 200 innings would be silly, but I would take a stroman type season out of them....Stro looks to pitch in 125 to 130 innings this year. Hutch looks to be in the 190 range this year. I would expect Sanchez to start in the bigs next year. Norris will likely start in AAA. Maybe Sanchez can hit 150 to 170....injuries are difficult to predict....the average rotation in baseball likely had one and half to 2 starters go down this year without looking up the number.
  24. saskjayfan
    Lind plays plenty of first and injuries are difficult to predict. Most of his time lost was due to a freak fracture injury.
  25. saskjayfan
    Give me a break. You don't need to command every pitch when your have the velocity and movement that he has. He has to control the strike zone and he's done so thus far in the bigs.
