I don't think so. I think he'll be called up replace the least effective starter as long as it's not early enough to start his arbitration clock ( I guess June 1st - ish). -
I remember when I was a kid in hospital I, and the other kids, was visited by a group of athletes including Ferguson Jenkins and some current CFL players (Roger Aldag, Polecat Boley and others). It was really cool. It certainly had an impact. I wasn't a baseball fan until I met Ferguson. I remember his fingers looked like they were a foot long.

Why, oh why, can't we somehow get this guy on the 25-man roster...

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic here, but I think this is really a good move. He's had some good numbers and would be a good replacement in case of injury. -
Are we playing word association?
-
Geez, did Dickey pitch in hermetically sealed ball parks when he was a Met and a Cy Young pitcher? With TO a bird farts and his ERA goes north of 7.
-
Blanton's suck to not suck ratio still isn't good enough to bring him in. It's 6:4 for those keeping score at home.
-
Do you think the Rangers would have any interest in Kratz?
-
Dustin McGowan to start home opener..
BlueJaysGirl replied to gruber92's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Man, this pitching rotation will be fun to watch. Results could be horrible, but I'd much rather watch Dustin and Hutch pitch than Happ and Redmond. Dickey is always entertaining to watch pitch (love the knuckleball) and MB is fun to watch, given his machine-like speed in working. This'll be great. -
DFA is always the last resort. But it clears things up pretty quickly.
-
Hells no. I don't think anyone thinks that. Why?
-
I disagree. If Kratz goes down, we have Thole. If Ohka gets up to AAA, we have Thole. Thole can be the second catcher in AAA once Jimenez stays healthy and plays full time. If we could recoup that $1.2M right now? Does that mean we sign Santana when he was FA? Ubaldo? Nope, it means Rogers isn't out as much. Thole isn't blocking anyone like Izturis is (Kawasaki) or eating up millions like RR and Happ. Apples and oranges.
-
Thole isn't dead weight, what's he making, $800K? He's depth at a hard spot to find depth and he catches Dickey. He'll maybe end up catching Ohka in the minors staying sharp for Dickey in the show. That's not nearly as useless as Romero and Happ. Or expensive. Romero and Happ cost the Jays a premium free agent and maybe 2-4 WAR.
-
I am wagering Happ gets put on DL. He can save a little face, help the org out, etc. etc. What was his velocity, anyone know? He should be around 91-92 mph.
-
It sort of reminds me when the Jays had millions in BJ Ryan (done like dinner) and Thomas (cut). What was that for, $10M combined? With Romero and Happ, and I'll throw in Izturis, it's like ~ $15M. But at least they are all still in the org.
-
You could be correct. I have a serious hate on for "meh" Izturis.
-
A bunch of s***** utility guys became available...Ty Wigginton, Kevin Frandsen, Jamey Carroll... Sign them all. They are all better than Izturis.
-
His use of "cock-mangling" had me laughing out loud.
-
It's not my money, so I want to DFA him. And Izturis. Logjam gone.
-
95% sure that will happen. He doesn't have the work in. That will give the Jays a better chance to sneak someone through on waivers when they need to demote one of the middling guys they don't want to lose.
-
I think I want Hutch, MB, and Dickey going every 5 days. What I'd rather see, is Dickey pitch every 3 starts instead of a 6-man rotation. Old school knucklers could do it. I'm not sure if Dickey could, because he throws in the 80s.
-
I think we all, as Blue Jay fans, should follow your example of unfettered optimism.
-
Yep, I honestly love that rotation. I think the Jays may try to place Happ on the injured list. It's the only way.
-
I'm with you. 50/50 chance it blows up, but the reward would be sooo cool. I saw him pitch in Seattle just weeks before he started getting hurt. He and Marcum seemed so good. It'd be nice to see him do this thing. Today helped. If Happ starts in the rotation it won't make any sense.
