  1. You must love Dusty Baker...
  2. IF the Jays actually think Sanchez belongs in the rotation, then how are they going to manage his innings??? He isn't read or capable of throwing 170-190 innings this year. If he's going to be a starter, he should start in AAA where they can monitor his innings (let Floyd or Chavez start in the bigs) then bring him up mid season. It feels like if he starts in the rotation...he's destine to shift to the pen later in the year.
  3. Instant riches if you can perfect it...
  4. Businesses/people don't get rich from making stupid decisions...
  5. Sanchez is such a polarizing player right now. So interested to see what the Jays do with him if he isn't in the rotation to start the year. I think there's a real chance that Floyd is the #5, Chavez starts in the rotation as Estrada gets up to speeds (yes I know he said he'd be ready for the start of the year) and Sanchez starts in the AAA rotation. This allows them to keep Biagini and get a look at Leon early on. I think that makes a lot of sense, but Gibby would probably lose his s*** if Sanchez wasn't on the team (as would the "average" fan who would argue you take your best team north with you - completely ignoring we're going to need 20+ relivers this year and thus finding ways to hold talented guys is essential).
  6. I don't see spring results on there...
  7. What's the velocity at this spring? Remember he had surgery on the knee...maybe he's still getting back to full strength....I thought fixing the knee and losing weight was going to allow him to up his velocity...
  8. When did Storen change his delivery? He used to have a low leg kick...almost a slide step....
  9. And why didn't they ask if Ray Fossie was blocking the plate correctly when Rose distroyed him....I thought catchers back then sent runners out on stretchers.....
  10. Oh why oh why couldn't Tim and Sid bring up Kirk Gibson or Fisk or all the other times when old school guys showed up the other team...miss opportunity.
  11. What makes you so sure when he's hasn't been able to even develop a second quality pitch over the last 7 years (assuming he started throwing secondary pitches at age 16)...
  12. Jesus...wicked limeup compared to what I got to see yesterday...anyone read my write Up???
  13. You mean the Carlos Martinez who's season ended early last year with shoulder injuries?
  14. I was at the game today. Had the whole family, so my notes suck, but here goes: - Happ was hitting 91-92 MPH. He didn't look overly impressive. - Alford looks like a tank. - Ump blew a strike call before Pillar hit the triple. - Urera looked good. Made a sweat diving catch into the trap right in front of me. - Goins still taking too big of rips at times...came out of his shoes once I think. - Greene was hitting 95-98 MHP, but got noticeably bothered with runners on base. Lots his composure/focus a bit. Saw him throwing in the pen...stud. - Speaking of studs, Kiermaier....he signed a ball for my son and there's a picture of it in the Tampa Bay Times under their live blog. http://www.tampabay.com/sports/baseball/rays/ 3:48pm. Overall, fun day had by all.
  15. Inverted W will prevent him from starting...
  16. Wow, that's quite the trip....mind if I ask what it cost?
  17. Easy with the big picture goal. He probably sat down and wrote "put on pants" then patted himself on the back for a job well done..
  18. I'm going to assume you've never had back issues...
  19. Throws up in mouth......who hates the Chavez deal now? Need SP'ing depth...
  20. I don't have him on my IL - but every time I see his avatar of that f*** face from KC - I consider it...
  21. Actually, some of the best change ups in the game (King Felix, Grienke) only have 4-5 MPH difference....it's untraditional, but it's getting amazing results....not saying Sanchez's change is good by any means, but the old 10 mph adage is not necessarily true anymore.
  22. Tampa technically has 2 knuckleballers in their system now - maybe Thole will try to use that as leverage for a raise!
  23. Can't I just be a baseball fan?
  24. I was at the Twins/Rays game today. Notes includes: - Blake Snell looked really good. Fastball was 94-97. - Park finally stopped striking out long enough to hit a grand slam. - Arcia looked over matched by good fastballs. - Odorizzi struggled with his command. Nothing exciting really. Took my 5 year old though and he loved it. He even took over score keeping in the 5th inning...it was pretty cool to see him so into the game...
  25. You guys are harsh. Perhaps career year from someone who's not establish would be a better description. How do you measure it? WAR Pompey or whoever win the 5th spot in the rotation looks like a good choice to me
