Now it also makes sense why the team hasn't been pinch hitting for Gimenez lately. Theyre going to have to rely on him in the playoffs regardless so he's getting reps against lefties.
The decision to let Bo play after the injury will get railed on if he misses any playoff games.
Not a fan of him starting right away tbh. He has needed 1 or 2 outings to get adjusted to every level hes been at for the most part.
For that reason, I would have given him some low leverage outings first and working his way up from there.
Santandar has 7 more games in Buffalo to work off the rust with a HR and a double yesterday under his belt. Assuming he can remain healthy during this time, I would 100% expect him to be called up Sept 21 latest.
Jays got some tough decisions ahead. Who are they going to let go/demote to bring him up?
In another 4 days or so, who are the Jays going to release/demote for Bo/Santandar?
My guesses are Borucki, Loperfido and IKF.
Im so happy for Lauer... not a fan of how this management has handled him after being our best guy for half of the year.
With how bad our bullpen has been, no reason why he cant be a big part of it going forward.
There's no reason to really project the rotation for the playoffs with how easily peoples opinions change after every start. Refency bias will win out during the last week of the season imo.
