Between Pearson and Jansen being traded I thought there would be more backlash for Jansen. Stunned the backlash is for Pearson.
Pearson has good stuff but it isn't special. He doesn't regularly touch 100 and often sits around 96-97. His fastball is flat and his control stinks. Pearson struggles with runners on as well.Better try new pitching coach than throw him away. Chances are you won't see arm like that in 5 years
He needed to develop additional pitches. That’s on the coaching staff. Not just at the majors but in the minors as well.Yeah, totally. Pete Walker is known for being a poor pitching coach. Nate Pearson didn't have a ton of injuries and has an extremely hittable fastball or anything.

People expected and were ready for Jano to go. Pearson was a surprise.Between Pearson and Jansen being traded I thought there would be more backlash for Jansen. Stunned the backlash is for Pearson.
Yet he's had a much better career.Not much was ever expected from Jansen
Another Brett Wallace?FYI Cutter Coffee has an abysmal .862 fielding % at 3B in high A ball this season.
This guy will never see the majors.
Atkins at his best again!

Much less skill thoughYet he's had a much better career.
That’s possible. Odd timing though, given that earlier in the week there was reported internal talk about him being considered for the rotation next year.i think it may have been as much about giving Pearson a fresh start somewhere else. We clearly weren't going to be the team to get the best out of him and he wants to try and be a starter again according to him. He may have even asked to be moved for all we know but did it quietly.
This just shows you have no idea what you're talking about. The additional pitches weren't the problem with Pearson, it was his fastball was flat. His slider graded out well and his third pitch, curveball was okay.He needed to develop additional pitches. That’s on the coaching staff. Not just at the majors but in the minors as well.
Obviously it wasn’t enough. Maybe the cubs see something they can do with him.You make it sound so easy. They totally never tinkered with Pearson's slider/curveball/changeup over his tenure with the Jays.
Nope. Never.
Try and bring a talking point to your conversation. Changing the words to your constant rant is tiring. Getting mad at a return for Pearson is comical at best. I wanted this management group gone last off season but this deadline isn't gonna be bringing us a lot of star power prospects back. It's going to be depth pieces you hope find another gear. So be prepared for that mentally and the next few days will be much more palatable for you.Lol what a f***ing disgusting and disgraceful organization.
How many other blue jays prospect “touch 100”? None.Pearson has good stuff but it isn't special. He doesn't regularly touch 100 and often sits around 96-97. His fastball is flat and his control stinks. Pearson struggles with runners on as well.

He's not a prospect anymore, how many baseball players throw 100 and can't get outs? A lotHow many other blue jays prospect “touch 100”? None.
