Blue Jays Discussion: Blue Jays rotation in flux

[Del Preston]

I want to hear Kevin Barker yell at Hazel Mae.

Figured something like this would happen. I had that convoluted idea earlier in the year to call up send down Sanchez/Hutch to alternate starts(as the schedule allowed it with the 10 day rule), well with a 6 man rotation and thus 5 other guys already on the roster it doesn't need to be so convoluted. Just sending him down to skip a start so he can be up in 10 days for whenever his next start rolls around.

Isn't Hutch on Pittsburgh now?

 

[ShaneFalco]

Play-off-like series
And seriously, I have no faith in Cecil at all this year

 

[GoodKiwi]

Isn't Hutch on Pittsburgh now?

He is, the OP said earlier in the year and before Hutch was traded.

 

[Mad Brills*]

next 6 games are against 2 last place teams.

Gotta win at least 4/6 so the lead in the east, so they can keep pace with boston.

yes, re-read

Could probably take 5/6 tbh. The series against Baltimore after is huge to say the least. Winning that series could put them behind us for good.

So the Sanchez move burns an option year this late in the year. Something you normally don't like doing, getting this late into the year(just 11 more days and it's September full 40 man roster eligible).

Made me wonder, how many option years does Sanchez have left? I don't believe he used one last year, he got hurt and his minor league stint was likely rehab. In 2014 he wasn't on the 40 man to start the year correct? and when he got called up he was here for the rest of the year, so he didn't burn one then did he?

So I'm assuming this is his first option year burned? And thus likely not a big deal with how well he's pitching it's unlikely you'll need 3 more option years

Just a thought that popped into my head.

This will simply mean he accrues 0.943 Years of service time instead of 1.000, So it won't matter in the slightest.

yeah, I'm just looking at his option years, we likely won't need them in the future, but just wondering how many he had left. Had this been his last or 2nd last it would be something you'd like to avoid, but with how good he's been if he has 2 more after this year still it's likely not going to ever be an issue.

 

[Canada4Gold]

actually scratch that?

http://www.torontosun.com/2016/03/12/options-options-options-roster-decisions-ahead-for-blue-jays

A player is assigned three options as a rostered player. Each year, when a player who is on the roster gets sent to the minors for a stint of more than 20 days, it counts as an option. At some point in this yo-yo ride between the minors and majors, a player can run out of options and, if you want to again send him to the minors, he must be offered to the other 29 teams in baseball through the waiver process.

Not sure I want to trust the toronto sun for my baseball learning is this true? If it's less than 20 days it doesn't count as an option burned? Never heard of this before

edit: yes apparently it is, learn something new everyday. So this doesn't burn an option for Sanchez. Moving along then, ignore my last 2 posts

 

[Canada4Gold]

related: Is there nowhere I can look online to determine how many option years a player has left? Can't find anything anywhere

Brett Cecil y'all

Guys a joke and so is gibbons for using him in that spot

 

[Discoverer]

Everyone knows Cecil has been dominant his last 12-13 outings over the last month, right?

But yeah, let's DFA him because he made a bad pitch at a bad time today.

 

[ADifferentTim]

The only refuge the Blue Jays got today was Boston, losing to Detroit, 10-5.

 

[Puckstuff]

They should move Sanchez to the bullpen at the end of August. It's going to happen either way, so at least it will strengthen the bullpen. Sanchez in the 7 and 8 is value. No matter how you creative you get, your gonna lose him if you make it all the way to the only series that matters - the world series. I have confidence one of Liriano or Dickey can and will step up as the 4th starter in the playoffs.

Because he had so many options..

 

[TF97]

Danny Boy injured Country Breakfast after they got into some type of clubhouse altercation. Maybe Danny took the last twinkie?

 

[EpochLink]

Danny Valencia trying into a locker room cancer? This is he first I'm hearing anything about him

 

[Canada4Gold]

Pompey 2-4, HR, single, walk

 

[Amadeus]

Tough loss in the 1st and 2nd game of this series.

 

[Eyedea]

Judging by Pillar's most recent tweet it sounds like he'll be activated tomorrow.

What ?

 

[Leaftors]

What ?

UPDATE (7:38 p.m. PT): The San Francisco Chronicle’s Susan Slusser has further reported her story, and the dispute sounds exactly as dumb as you feared. To summarize, Butler narced on Valencia to an “equipment representative†that Valencia wasn’t using the cleats Valencia said he was using. To which I say, this sounds so stupid.
