Cyborg

Season opening series vs. Rays. Low SwStr pitcher. Miraculously K's everyone and gets whiffs (12).

This makes me remember this game: http://m.mlb.com/video/v31780897/tortb-buehrle-dominates-rays-fans-11-over-8-23/?query=Mark+Buehrle+rays

I'd be happy if reliever Sanchez could go 100 pitches, but we've never even seen this Sanchez before.

7 of his whiffs came from the "4 seam". PitchFX does have different movement values and there was a two and a half inch difference in drop and 2 inch difference is horizontal movement. If he could use his 2 seam for GB and looking K's and his 4 seam for whiffs it could be like adding another pitch. http://www.brooksbaseball.net/pfxVB/pfx.php?month=4&day=5&year=2016&game=gid_2016_04_05_tormlb_tbamlb_1%2F&pitchSel=592717&prevGame=gid_2016_04_05_tormlb_tbamlb_1%2F&prevDate=45&league=mlb

It was like either he hit the spot perfectly, or missed by a foot. There was a change that was supposed to be low that was out of the zone high IIRC.

He clearly reached but f*** if this game was last year it was a W.

Check Brooks after. 8 K 0 BB holy f***.

Whiffs galore.

I started him in PL.

Fap fap fap fap fap

There was another check swing.

Would like to stress I would trade Voracek + my pick in the 2nd round (22) + maybe something else for the upcoming pick.

Kinda funny that both teams drafted DeSclafani and Yan Gomes and they are both above average MLB regulars on other clubs.

Aaron Sanchez vs. Rays Predictions: 6 IP 4 H 4 K 2 BB 2 ER/R 0 HR 60% GB%

Maybe he ends up platooning the lead off spot. Saunders vs. RHP, Pillar vs. LHP.

Shhh.. don't want Abomination to hear you.

Hardly striking out (with low OBP) is much more important when there are people on base in front of you. Much better suited near the bottom of order.

There was literally no effort required there I assume.

Lets compare notable names to a team like the Red Sox: Jays 2014 Hoffman (used to acquire Tulo) 2013 Boyd Graveman 2012 Stroman Alford 2011 Pillar Norris DeSclafani Nola (unsigned) Beede (unsigned) 2010 Syndergaard Sanchez Pompey Dyson Nicolino Woj Bryant (unsigned) 2009 Hutchison Marisnick Gomes Loup Goins Tepera Paxton (unsigned) 2008 Cooper Pastornicky Thames Farquhar 2007 Cecil Scrabble JPA Mastro 2006 Snider Jon Diaz 2006-2008 was awful. 2009-2012 were excellent and from then on is still TBD. Red Sox 2014 ? 2013 ? 2012 Brian Johnson Carson Fulmer (unsigned) Alex Bregman (unsigned) 2011 Betts Swihart Bradley Jr. Shaw Owens Barnes 2010 Ranaudo Coyle Cechinni Renfroe (unsigned) 2009 ? 2008 Christian Vazquez Casey Kelly Lavarnway DeSclafani (unsigned) Shaw (unsigned) Alex Meyer (unsigned) Yan Gomes (unsigned) 2007 Grandal Strickland Middlebrooks 2006 Belt Masterson Bard Kalish Awesome 2011. 2008-2010 are duds. 2012-2014 look likes duds at the moment but could change. They also hit with Belt and Grandal in 2006 and 2007 but didn't enjoy either success. I'd say the Blue Jays drafts under AA were better in terms of volume and overall success. We drafted better pitching, Red Sox better batting. Betts Grandal Belt Swihart Bradley Masterson Shaw Vazquez +relievers vs. Syndergaard Stroman Pillar Gomes Sanchez DeSclafani Norris Hutch Alford Pompey Marisnick Goins Boyd Graveman + relievers

Will trade Voracek + 2nd round dispersal pick for upcoming pick as long as guy still there.
