    My bad, your broken sentence threw me off...

    And how do you know he's made from more durable genes/DNA?
  3. Brownie19
    What is he a f***ing cyborg? I mean skin and flesh seems to be letting most pitchers down these days...

    I agree with the risk. However, re: 2nd TJ surgeries....it didn't work out so well for Kyle Drabek, who's Sanchez has some similarities to. Beachy's had it twice - he's done, Jarrod Parker likely is too. Luebke is working his way back after his 2nd TJ - he might be effective as a reliever (although Pitt is releasing him I heard). I don't think you want to have it twice...Hudson took a long time to return FWIW.

    I hear you - I just find the topic interesting. I wonder if the Jays acknowledge his timing sucks and whether they are trying to make improvements - or if they just say screw it, if he breaks down he breaks down...and is this approach different from team to team. Do some teams target pitchers with certain mechanics (which they believe are superior). I mean we're analysing the crap out of spin rates and such now and teams are doing a lot of research on what's causing arm injuries that I'm sure this is happening to some extent. Pitching is the most valuable position in baseball and the injuries are the most fascinating in all of sports, so you know there's people out there looking to break the code as there's extreme value and money to be had. Maybe it's all a little premature right now - which is why we don't hear much about it. Or maybe it's because in most comment sections, people are claiming Hutch should be on this team because he was 11-2 at home last year and thus is an asset to the Jays (and thus most coverage on this topic would fall on deaf ears).

    I was on the "keep the blue seats" team until you showed that comparison...good ideas overall man.

    I'll say 94 BTW - I love seeing a list of all the user names. "Horses Fart" is so awesome.

    Why doesn't anyone else talk about this? I understand the inverted W isn't a guarantee injury, but as you've pointed out, when you couple it with arm action and bad timing - it's a recipe for disaster. Does nobody talk about this because: 1. It's such an inexact science that most have concluded it's too difficult to predict - some pitchers simply only have so many bullets 2. I don't understand this, so let's ignore it.
  9. Brownie19
    Does that qualify as the inverted W?
  10. Brownie19
    Little to suggest Gibby would use him in that role though...
  11. Brownie19
    That picture is gross. Best of luck to Delabar. He was a good story and gave us a good year (which is more than Eric Thames can claim). Time to move on.

    I already posted this today... They got Chavez before they signed Happ or re-signed Estrada. If they don't trade for Chavez and either Happ or Estrada don't sign here, we could be going into the season with Sanchez and Floyd in our rotation with Hutch and Fausto Car-f***ing-mona as our 6th/7th guys. That would be a god awful position to be in....especially when we entered camp without knowing whether Sanchez could throw strikes as a starter, or if Floyd had anything left. If that's how the offseason played out - people would have the torches out, calling for Shatkin's head. Could they have waited for the Happ/Estrada thing to play out before trading for Chavez? We don't know that. Would they still do the deal today, knowing what they do now (that Floyd may not be washed up and Sanchez seemingly can now throw strikes)? Maybe, maybe not... Time to move on and here's hoping Joe Biagini becomes the new Hendriks.

    How the F are we supposed to trade for Dan Straily now???? Man I was hoping we'd get to take a chance on him and his sexy SwStr%
  14. Brownie19
    He also raked at AAA last year. wRC+ of 156. Maybe he's the next coming of Edgar Martinez
  15. Brownie19
    Dude - he's joking. Between this and you're math - you're all discombobulated today.
  16. Brownie19
    You should probably shut'er down man. What you're doing is the opposite of winning.
  17. Brownie19
    Good call...why would he maximize Pillar's value. He was only successful 86% of the time last year.
  18. Brownie19
    Jesus we've been through this. They got Chavez before they signed Happ or re-signed Estrada. If they don't trade for Chavez and either Happ or Estrada don't sign here, we could be going into the season with Sanchez and Floyd in our rotation with Hutch and Fausto Car-f***ing-mona as our 6th/7th guys. That would be a god awful position to be in....especially when we entered camp without knowing whether Sanchez could throw strikes as a starter, or if Floyd had anything left. If that's how the offseason played out - people would have the torches out, calling for Shatkin's head. Could they have waited for the Happ/Estrada thing to play out before trading for Chavez?

    I was assuming Sanchez was in AAA starting...but even if he's in the pen, it would be a lot easier to stretch him out (has options, young, etc.).
  21. Brownie19
    We know you think inning limits are stupid, but you have no idea what the FO will do. Regardless of whether they cap his innings to theoretically help prevent injury, it's not too difficult to accept that Sanchez may simply tire out the first time he's asked to make 32-34 starts at the major league level. I think it's extremely unrealistic to think he'll make 30 starts this year. I don't necessarily disagree with your approach - I'm just saying there's a debate there. Right now we have 8 options to start. If we put Floyd in the pen, I think we inevitably lose him as a starting option, which puts us at 7. I'm not sure that's a great idea. You can argue the "worry about today" approach - but reality is - the MLB season is a war, not a battle.
  22. Brownie19
    Jesus - I never saw that highlight (I got to watch darts instead). Is Hutch going to be in the AAA DL list with a concussion? Get that man one of those form hat/helmet things!
  23. Brownie19
    I'm not sure this is true. Maybe it does for April, but not necessarily over the entire season. It's already been reported Sanchez won't be in the rotation all year due to an innings limit and will move to the pen at some point. If we assume he's going to make 20 starts, that means we have 10-12 more to be made by someone else. Floyd is healthy right now, pitching well and could make those starts in April/May. The chances of him making those 10-12 starts in August/Sept are very slim IMO. First he has to avoid injury and second, he'd have to accept a demotion to AAA to get stretched out. Is the pitcher who's going to make 10-12 starts in Aug/Sept. going to be better than April/May Floyd or not? Who knows. We have Chavez & Hutch - but by Aug/Sept, they may already be in the rotation (given teams typically need 8-10 starter per season). I guess time will tell - but people saying "it's the only logical solution" are dumb.

    I'm sorry man, but that's really bad math...
  25. Brownie19
    What's the diff?
