    Yep. If Buster says it, expect the opposite.

    I think AA's bullpen construction is fine. Sure it would be nice to add another sure thing in the pen to go with Cecil and Loup, but he likely does not have a lot of money left to spend and thanks to the Royals the market for relievers is very expensive. Between Lopez, Guilmet, Jenkins, Rasmussen, Schultz, Tepera, Delabar, Drabek, Redmond, Infante, etc, I'm sure there is a combination of that group that can form a solid bullpen. Not to mention the off-season is still young so there is time to sign or trade for more help. Adding wins is most important. Bullpens are so volatile year to year that it's easier to add wins elsewhere since other positions are more predictable.

    Norris as #5 starter and Sanchez in AAA (starting) would be the best option, internally. At least then you'd be going with the guy who has a performance track record as a starter, rather than taking a monumental gamble with Sanchez. The depth at #5 starter is most likely (in order): Sanchez/Norris (#5 starter), Estrada, Hendriks, Francis, and Oramas.

    As long as hitters are making weak contact and putting the ball on the ground, then Sanchez shouldn't be terrible, but his walk rate has to improve. If he's still walking 5 per 9 and then depending on a defense with Jose Reyes in it to bail him out, then he's going to be a burden out there.

    Wow, what could the Jays have given up for those two? Could have completely changed the complexion of the bullpen. Although, the Jays don't have an overrated NY hyped prospect to peddle off.

    Ricciardi really made things harder for AA's. At least Ash, one of the top 5 worst GM's ever IMO, left the team with some good prospects. Pretty much the entire 2000's were wasted because of JPR's drafting.
  7. glory
    Yes, change many things from the past (Marlins trade, Dickey trade, Cabrera signing, Izturis signing, etc), and everything else will remain the same. Man, I hope people don't actually believe their fantasy lineups if those 2013 moves didn't happen.
  8. glory
    AA has traded Syndergaard, Lawrie, d'Arnaud, etc. I'm sure he would trade Sanchez if he felt the return was worthy. Whether he would do it for a one year rental is another story. He seems like a GM who is big on years of control, so I can't see him trading Sanchez for Zobrist (even though it would be a great deal for the Jays).
  9. glory
    Sanchez for Zobrist. Put Estrada in the rotation, Redmond as the long man, and Norris as the 1st call up.
  10. glory
    With AA's newfound appreciated of WAR, I think we all know where Zobrist will end up. (I'm dreaming, don't wake me up yet).
  11. glory
    The Rays have signed Asdrubal. Zobrist being traded seems all but assured now, as no team will ever put Cabrera at short.
  12. glory
    That whisper Stoeten heard must have been the voices in his head.
  13. glory
    Am I the only one who thinks Drabek can be a good reliever? I mean, he was trash as a starter, but most good relievers are failed starters.
  14. glory
    Eh, I like Lopez in the pen, and I would give Drabek every chance possible to win a bullpen spot out of Spring Training (I still think he can be a contributor in relief), but the others are iffy to me (others meaning everyone other than Cecil and Loup). Still, throw enough solid arms in there, and someone is bound to surprise.
  15. glory
    If Alex promotes players as rapidly as he did last season, they may have more internal options by mid-season, but yes after trading Graveman and Nolin the depth is not very strong. If Estrada can be an effective swing man, that would help a lot.
  16. glory
    I think Sanchez will start. I can't see them finding a better starting option in free agency or trade (unless they go after Hamels), and putting Norris in the rotation and Sanchez in the pen pretty much eliminates any SP depth the team has. IMO, Sanchez will start, Estrada will be his insurance, and Norris will be the first guy called up from AAA. The question is which relievers will AA be able to acquire to fill out the pen.
  17. glory
    I'm surprised. I thought for sure it would have happened by now. There's still time. I'm glad it hasn't happened yet, though. AA has changed. He's looking for real upgrades now (Martin, Donaldson, Saunders, Travis, etc), rather than settling for mediocrity or veterans who can't play but provide "dat leadership intangible".
  18. glory
    Smoak is starting at 1B with Edwin at DH. I see no reason to change that for Navarro (although if they can find a better 1B than Smoak, then make the change). If Navarro is still on the team Opening Day, then he'll likely back-up Martin.
  19. glory
    Alvarez, Walker, Kang, and Harrison looks like a damn good infield.
  20. glory
    Andrew wants to give the inevitable Nick Punto signing more hype than it deserves.
  21. glory
    Man, if there was any way to pry Kazmir from there, he would fit in so nicely over Sanchez in the rotation.
  22. glory
    I'm going to guess the Padres won the bid for Kang. It's been a few hours since they made a move, way too long without doing something, so it would make sense.
  23. glory
    He has options left. Solid depth move. Jays need arms to replace Nolin and Graveman.
  24. glory
    The Yankees are starting to make some smart moves. Damn.
  25. glory
    Catchers are being traded left and right. Either AA is sleeping or he is asking for way too much.
