This FO might be different but,historically,the Jays haven't given much credence to the extra year of service.None of Stroman,Sanchez,Osuna, or Travis were held back.

Nothing to complain about really.Aside from a couple minor blips(Storen,Morales,come to mind)almost everything they've done to date has worked out in their favor. They've made vast improvements to the bench and bullpen while giving very little in return.IMO what they've done is really all that could be expected without giving up major pieces and/or boosting payroll significantly. I would have loved to have seen a Boone Logan type lefty added to the pen,but other than that,I don't see where they could have made as significant strides and not given up much more than they have.

Bringing in Barnes directly after an Estrada start was a mistake imo.They are both primarily FB/CH pitchers.Estrada is probably the best FB/CH pitchers in the league so bringing any reliever in with a similar repertoire directly after him is setting them up for failure. Watching Gibbons find more and more creative ways to lose ballgames is getting harder to do by the day.

Lets hope so.He did go 3-5 with a homer and a walk so there's that.

One year 8.5M and not worth a qualifying offer.

I wonder if Gubbons even knows Cecciliani played both games of a double header in Rhode Island yesterday?Even if they were only 7 innings each that's a lot of ball and a decent flight in less than 24 hours.

Martin hopping around one one foot was the first clue you dozzy fck.The second clue would be Dickey starting tomorrow and the off day on thursday would be enough days off for Martin to start today if he wasn't banged up.

You're both a little dense. If you'd had bothered to watch the games you'd have seen Martin get spiked at a play at the plate and Pillar jam his wrist sliding into second. In the future i would suggest you both try making sure your brains are loaded before shooting your mouths off.

Teams use innings as a general guideline.Pitch count is how they actually keep tract.Including warmups,side sessions,etc.Then they add in stressfull innings and stuff like that.

There are arguments for both sides, That philosophy didn't work out so good for the Marlins and Strasburg.

Innings out of the pen are not calculated the same as starter innings.

I like this but would expand it to where dickey piggy backs all of Sanchez,Stroman and Hutchison's starts.Stagger the rotation so any one of the 3 pitches every second night.Optimally they trade for a starter then Dinkey could just piggyback with Stroman and Sanchez.You could also put Hutch in the pen and have two long men for that roll.Although if he were smart Bean would be asking for Hutch in a trade for Hill so........ Should be plenty of options regardless.

worldchamps2015 actually. Although i've often held similiar view as anemicOffence.
