Blue Jays Discussion: TOR Acquires Francisco Liriano, Scott Feldman, Mike Bolsinger

[Canada4Gold]

People are actually mad it might be Hutch going? This guy has been given all the opportunities in the world to make the rotation and he couldn't. A spot was basically his to lose and he lost it. Time to give up on him IMO.

This year? He wasn't given a spot to lose. Dickey, Stro, Happ, and Estrada were guaranteed spots. He could have won one from Sanchez but Aaron was and has been really crazy good.

Hutch has been really solid down in AAA this year.

He was bad last year, so 1 time he failed to keep his spot.

This could be an ugly deal...

 

[Eyedea]

Harold Ramirez is solid.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Pirates #9 prospect

 

[SpezDispenser]

I'm hoping we don't give up a big time prospect, because the idea of this trade is really solid. Pitchers have down years, but their resumes tell the true tale, especially with Martin back there.

 

[ShaneFalco]

 

[Stand Witness]

We already know it is Hutch and only Hutch going to the Pirates.

 

[Cor]

So... did we deal Hutchinson for Liriano, and get Ramirez and another prospect for doing that swap?

That would be good.

Shi says that Hutch is the only piece headed to PIT

Shi Davidi ‏@ShiDavidi 45s46 seconds ago Houston, TX
Drew Hutchison is only piece #BlueJays sending to #Pirates. Mike Bolsinger becomes the triple-A depth Hutchison provided

Holy ****! That's a hell of a deal

Gave up Hutch who is cheap but took on Liriano who I think could turn it around (maybe even as a reliever) and likely took on his salary to get another good prospect.

 

[Miester]

Hutch the only one going according to Shi

 

[Paladin2799]

Pirates #9 prospect

Sounds like a very strong bat, good contact, good line drive power.

Decent fielder, nothing of note, weak arm.

Reminds me a lot of adam lind reading his bio.

 

[BackPassChampions]

Harold Ramirez is solid.

This.

 

[Canada4Gold]

I'm ok with it then I guess, since we got a good prospect from Pittsburgh

 

[BertCorbeau]

Liriano + two prospects (one solid) for Hutch?

I do like it

 

[ShaneFalco]

 

[Canadian Canuck]

What a ******* deal. Well done Atkins

hes had 3 good years in his career.

 

[BackPassChampions]

Excellent trade. Really digging what Shapiro has done today.

 

[Fantomas]

Who is Ramirez.

 

[Mad Brills*]

ramirez's stats aren't bad.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Who's the second prospect coming to TO?

 

[Jes5ant]

Hockey style cap dump. I'm ok with it. But I hope people don't expect Liriano to come close to filling the whole left by arguable the best pitcher in the AL.

 

[Paladin2799]

Any guesses what Hutch gets in arbitration next season?

Lirano has lost the strike zone a bit, he has not lost any velocity. Hopefully they can fix him.
