Read back, I'm just spitballing to Jonn that if Hellickson & Santana are trash, then what does that make Scott Diamond? Because that's likely who we are leaning on if the scenario I said happens.

Probably wished he was in West Philadelphia where he was born and raised.

Sanchez to pen, Estrada to DL. 1 month of Scott Diamond.

Trash is better the inevitable Scott Diamond depth call.

Were you expecting Sale?

Could have just signed him 2 years ago, ffs

I'm sort of nervous

I imagine Goins is not going to be activated until after the trade deadline passes.

So far a pretty uneventful trade season league wide.

Fails come in a variety of ways yes but prospects have a lot of obstacles to get through for a chance at the show let alone proving they can stay. Again, veterans for prospects all day but MLB sophomores who show elite performance is what every team wants out of their prospects. Trading that talent to restart the process is counter-productive unless you are overhauling the team.

Those guys all busted from injuries, in fact all of them had Tommy John and Santos was a failed prospect long before a transition to reliever in his late 20s, they aren't comparable. Aaron Hill was not a bust... inconsistent seasons with the bat but not a bust.

Scouting reports still matter.. Regardless, why is Lil Loopers post so stupid if most minor leaguers aren't that good? Just because he said most fail? He's not far off and really the point to his post was that trading Osuna in hopes that the returning prospects (either collectively or individually) produce better value seems like a very high risk, low reward move. Consider the state of our BP and the fact that we have far better trade options. Different players have different values to teams, we moved Gose for Travis as a lateral move to fill a hole. If a team offered us minor league prospects for Gose, front office might have agreed to it assuming they felt he was a AAAA type player going forward. Whereas it wouldn't be smart to trade Osuna for prospects because we know he's already very valuable to this team, we have few options behind him and we have a surplus of veteran talent that could give us an equal haul. If they really wanted to explore that option, it would be in the offseason after we win our championship and the veterans move on and we get our compensation picks. There is no need or rush to move Osuna unless they plan to rebuild after this season imo.

Wow... talk about over simplifying something. For every Devon Travis there's a bunch of Travis Sniders.

Only the odd time it was out of sync. This was on my PS4 MLB app. Beware though, for some reason different MLB.tv apps on different devices don't give you this feature. Like Apple TV doesn't have, PS4 did. The app on my Samsung Blu-ray didn't have it, etc. You can email them to find out if it'll work for yours.

Everytime I'm in the car it's 590... how is pressing a preset channel messing with AM dial?

When I had MLB.tv I always selected the 590 optional audio feed while watching the Sportsnet video. Such an improved experience imo

How old are you, for real?

This is too much.

That's how I'd play it out. Also, I'm not a doctor but Stroman's workload worries me more than Sanchez. Stroman got to what, 160+ innings a couple years ago, he pitched a handful of games last year and he's good for 200 without being re-oiled? Sanchez is a big strong arm who throws effortlessly and hardly tires late in games, Stroman is 5'8 and looks to throw his hardest every pitch from inning 1 through 7 and has put more mileage on his arm. Why does no one ever talk about him?

His account was already deleted.

I'd prefer the pitching machine + catcher approach.

If they move Sanchez to the pen for 2 months, is he immediately going to give us 7 innings in the postseason? This whole scenario confuses me.

I don't personally give a s*** if he stays or goes, I'm just pointing out that as long as he's a Jay he will be seen as the face of our franchise.
