Happ has been effective enough this year. In fact, I think AA would have no trouble taking the option on Happ then trading him for an asset, mind you a medioacre asset
I wonder if a better team can be built from all the prospects/young players AA has traded away like Escobar, Alvarez, Gomes, Rajai Davis, Syndergard etc.
I would try very hard to see if I can unload Mark B, and have Sanchez start. So effective rotation would be Dickey-Stroman-Hutchison-Sanchez-Happ. I think that if we didn't demand much in return Mark B can actually be unloaded, considering its only 1 year left
So much this
In fact Reyes balked at coming to Toronto and signed a disgusting contract with Florida
Our bright GM not only took the Marlins off the hook he surrendered a superior SS in return
Good times
Jose has had five straight all star seasons. He owes this organization nothing
He can now join Delgado and Halladay in the line of superstars whos careers this franchise wasted
But the problem with this team is the trades AA made. Reversing the Dickey and Reyes trades and we prob have more wins over the last 2 years and an amazing future not to mention tons of payroll room
The first error was not outbidding Texas for Darvish. Instead we paid just as much for Dickey and Burleh while at the same time trading prospects
Rotation right now could be
Darvish
Alvarez
Stroman
Hutchinson
Happy
With Sanchez and syndergaard waiting I'm the wings
If JP had a second wild card we would have seen meaningful baseball maybe even got the second wild card. Don't know how you can say that with a straight face when five years of the current clown has wielded no results
What I am agreeing
He is a middle of the rotation starter who has allowed 6 runs or more four times in his last seven starts
In a pennant race
Replace him with price and this team is 3-4 games out of the division. Can def see why rays weren't interested in Hutchinson.
I'll be very surprised if Pelley knows the jays or what baseball is
He is much more interested in having Carolina Hurricanes vs. Sanjose Sharks on rogers asap
You cant learn to stay healthy. Some players are just more likely to get hurt, why do you think Orioles let guys like Brian roberts and reimold walk away.
Smart franchise is smart
