    Yep, AA's roster management is horrendous, and I expect no different this season. We just have to wait and see what it is. It could be using Castro out of the pen, or going with 8 relievers to save a fringe pitcher with no options left, or going with 3 catchers because he adores Navarro too much to trade him, etc. I don't expect Wolf to actually start the season in the bigs though, unless more bad things happen to the rotation.

    No such thing as a bad minor league deal. I just think it's funny the Jays have signed Santana, Francis, and now Wolf. That's a lot of shots in the dark. Would have been nice to trade for Bolsinger or someone with some upside, but this is the spot we are in.
  3. glory
    Johan Santana, Jeff Francis, and Randy Wolf. All we need now is Erik Bedard and Freddy Garcia.

    I was being sarcastic.

    It was such a long time ago that I thiught I may have been misremembering, but Stewart was in fact in the running for Jays GM in 2001 before they hired Ricciardi. They picked JP because he was white. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/15/sports/on-baseball-stewart-passed-over-by-the-blue-jays.html

    True but young pitchers get hurt so frequently that you shouldn't count on too many of them if you want to contend. Stroman and Hutchison with three veterans was a decent mix. Now it's two veterans, Hutchison, and two complete wild cards (Norris and Sanchez most likely). If one or both struggle or get hurt, it will be a huge blow to the team's already dwindling chances. I'd much rather have a vet there to bridge the gap.

    I'm legit surprised he's not being talked about as a rotation option right now. A 4/5 tandem of Estrada and Hendriks isn't going to light the world on fire but might be the best internal option available depending on whether you want to keep Norris down until May for service time reasons.

    Wheeler needing TJS is why I don't like the idea of trying to compete with a young rotation. One or two more Dickey/Buehrle types would be great in the rotation right now, rather than praying Sanchez and Norris 1) stay healthy and 2) contribute right away. Estrada should be in the rotation for that reason alone. Young pitchers should be depth.

    I'm in.

    They were too busy trading Wade Miley for two relievers and overpaying for Hellickson to worry about trading for a catcher.

    God I hate Spring Training.

    Read some of your own material. You'll read things far "dummer". And 42 is way too young to be spending your life on a message board. go outside. Do something.

    He could still get TJS and miss another full season. Is that a hard f***ing concept? I spelled it out for you in another post. That is far more likely an injury for a pitcher than an ACL issue, and something pitchers may have to get eventually anyway. The succes rate of coming back from one TJS is pretty good. The ACL is a freak injury that rarely happens. Nowhe is rehabbing a leg injury and you have to hope he doesn't overcompensate his mechanics or anything else due to it. If you think I'm actually hoping he gets TJS, then you're more of an idiot than I originally guessed. Or "dumm", as you like to post as if it has even a tiny bit of humor to it.

    I'm actually surprised he's not a rotation option for them, especially after Stroman's injury.
  15. glory
    I can't believe I'm saying this about Liam Hendriks, but the Jays can't afford to lose him given the lack of depth on this team. If they are confident he can pass through waivers, then do it, but otherwise, he's someone I can see a team in need of a pitcher claiming.
  16. glory
    Cecil, Loup, Lopez, Delabar, Redmond, Estrada, Hynes/Francis (or another LHR) If AA is on stupid pills, then put Castro in place of one of the guys above, but I'm still thinking sanity prevails on that front.
  17. glory
    Sanchez and Estrada in the rotation with Norris in AAA would be fine with me. They don't seem to want to demote Sanchez, but they were open to demoting Norris before Stroman went down. Save one of their arby clocks, at least.
  18. glory
    Carpenter's minor league numbers were very Sanchez-esque. That doesn't mean he will be a HOF calibre pitcher but there is hope that with some tweaking he can be a good MLB starter. I agree though, expecting that light switch to turn on in 2015 is unrealistic.

    Yep. If Arizona is willing to eat up the difference between Navarro and Cahill, it should be done. However, they have no reason to do it (Arizona). They'd probably do the trade straight up to save 7m but I don't think they'd eat up 7m just to make it.
  20. glory
    Unless you want half the throws from third and short to go for throwing errors, it's better to have Smoak or Barton at 1B than Edwin.
  21. glory
    Nope. The fact that there's still 3 weeks left until Opening Day scares me. That's three weeks for more terrible things to happen.
  22. glory
    Navarro for Oliver Perez?
  23. glory
    My guess, ignoring the stupid possibility of Castro in the pen, is this: Dickey, Hutch, Buehrle, Sanchez, Norris Cecil, Loup, Lopez, Delabar, Redmond, Francis, Estrada
  24. glory
    No such thing as a jinx with the Jays. I don't wish it on him obviously but I'd honestly rather he had that than the ACL.
  25. glory
    Meant first full season back. Should have been on an innings limit around 150.
