Sanchez will have more IP because the Jays will stick with him until Santana is ready... and he will be an average reliever rest of the year.. I'd say he somewhere around -0.5 WAR No way travis is gonna get 470PA, and Pompey will be 1.5~ war over 450PA.

Who would have thought that Luis Perez was hanging around with all the Dominican Jays.. and Mark Buehlre in the Dominican Republic.... Manuel Perez (@apagafuego47) • Instagram photo INSTAGRAM.COM 48 likes, 4 comments - apagafuego47 on September 4, 2015

http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/realistic-expectations-blue-jays-rookies-prospects-pompey-norris-travis-sanchez-castro-osuna/ "Having talked to a number of scouts who have seen Sanchez throughout his minor league career, one name continually comes up – A.J. Burnett. Before Blue Jays fans balk at that comparison, it’s worth nothing that Burnett has had a long, successful career that most pitching prospects would kill for. The peaks and valleys made for one heck of a ride, but half the longevity and achievement of Burnett would make Sanchez a success story. The comparison exists because of the pure stuff, and because of an inability to harness it (Burnett struggled with command early in his career). In the bullpen last year, Sanchez appeared to have a better idea of what his stuff was doing, but the track record of guys who walk 4.8 batters per nine in the minors isn’t strong once they get to the major leagues. That explains why PECOTA projects Sanchez to post a 5.49 ERA in 136.2 innings this season. Between the long track record of wildness and multiple comparisons to a pitchers who battled similar control issues, it will be difficult for Sanchez to turn things around by this season. Even his improved command as a reliever last season came at the expense of his change-up, which he all but abandoned late in 2014. In the bullpen, however, he was able to get away with his inconsistencies and be more effective. A repeat of his 1.09 ERA is about as likely as him turning into Greg Maddux, but there is reason to believe he can be a successful reliever this year should the Blue Jays decide to change course. There is less confidence to be had about him learning how to throw strikes as a starter overnight."

Last night I was having nightmares and coudln't sleep due to dreams of Aaron Sanchez walking 5bb/9 and putting up a 5+ era =[[[[[ Somethin is wrong with me.

Ryan Howard twice, on 5, and 4 pitches lol

lol @ 2day

Don't be kind, its a given that he will walk that much.

Ryan Howard has 1bb-17k all spring, and guess who his one walk comes from lol

Good article detailing the red flags w/ Sanchez http://www.bluebirdbanter.com/2015/3/20/8166289/a-note-of-caution-on-aaron-sanchez

Aaron Sanchez had a 0 era in 2014 Spring Training over 15 Innings.. #uselessstats #saynotosanchez

ty for stating the obvious #saynotosanchez

How much u willing to bet?

=[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[

I dunno don't jump the ship quite yet.. They've done nice over 2 weeks, but you cant really say that yet

From a statistic point of view Norris has progressed alot the last few years... Sanchez is pretty much the same thing.. Id still go w/ Norris over Sanchez now for the 5th spot, and Estrada as 4th is a no-brainer..

Shaun marcum for fifth starter today 3ip 2h 0er 0bb 2k before today 4ip 4h 1r/er 1hr 0bb 0k

Man that pen is bad, it's funny how everyone assumes delabar will bounce back too. Will the Jays try to hide Drabek or straight dfa him in early April?

Jason how was st' pattys day drinking? I assume this is your favourite weekend of the year!

He's a 22 yr old pitcher with extreme control issues. I'm just asking people to be realistic with him, he probably will be a above average pitcher in a few years. People just have unrealistic expectations for 2015 after his fluky 2014 season. I'm not calling him a bust lol

Uh no I've used this sn on multiple forums for almost 15 years. I've used this sn on the old forum since 07/08 I think. The only time I used another acct was to troll dogg on the old forum.

What about the fact he walks everyone and can't get a swinging strike to save his life?

Get better command/control.. In the history of baseball very very very very very very very very few pitches if any magically go from 5bb/9 to 2bb/9 overnight. Some slowly improve their command/control, but the odds are against Aaron Sanchez. People like you seem to think bc he throws a fastball hard he is destined for greatness, but unfortunately not. Aaron might become an elite pitcher one day, but he is not one currently. Yes his sinker is good now, but he is very inconsistent with where he locates it, which is a large part of why I believe he wont succeed immediately.

When Aaron Sanchez fails, maybe Marcum could be a replacement if he is fully recovered.
