            Where he'll likely blow up and decrease his trade value before being sent down after 1 IP a la Sean Nolin.

            We need to be realistic with this regime.

              It was never going to happen, despite the rumored tire kicking, but I wonder how many HR's Ortiz would have hit at the Dome if his Dominican pals could have wooed him over.

                40+ IMO, the guy just rakes it here.

                  Guess not.

                  But I agree he should be starting not relieving.

                  It would be nice if we can stay the course until our wounded get healthy. If we get healthy and we're still like three games out we can make a real run at this. I'm not counting on any help via a trade.

                    I'm sure that gets mentioned by Ortiz's agent every time Ortiz has sought a new contract from the Red Sox.

                      Sanchez starting? Nooooooo thank you. You can take what you saw out of the pen last night and dial it back by 10%. He won't be touching 97 as a starter until he starts getting lower and using his lower half rather than depending on arm action for velocity.

                        bhurst99 Sanchez has an innings cap on him as he's pitched 100 innings in the minors and the Jays want him to only pitch 130 this year. I do like the idea of having him start out his major league career in the pen though as that's always been the history of the Jays with some of their pitchers. Lots of pretty good arms in Jays history have dipped their toes as relievers and became pretty good starters.

                        I think Sanchez will make some adjustments mechanics wise during the winter and make a strong push for a rotation spot. If you look at it the Jays have a potential corps of young starters that rivals what they did in the late '90s with Halladay, Carpenter and Escobar except I see the "Big Three" of Stroman, Sanchez and Norris staying here longer and having more team success. Hutchison can be thrown into the mix as part of that group but a lot of what i've seen over the last 5 starts have been troubling to say the least.

                          I'm aware of the innings cap and I've never been a fan of it unless someone is coming off surgery like Hutchison. (But if you're going to have a cap wouldn't it make more sense to do it based on pitches thrown rather than innings?) Frankly, I'd rather see Sanchez start and have them move Hutchison to the pen since his effectiveness falls off a cliff after the third inning and he has been struggling for the past month.

                          Stroman is the perfect example of someone who has come up this season and performed much better as a starter than a reliever.

                          But whatever. As long as we can find ways to keep winning it's all good.

                          This season is all about AC seeing the Jays get in the playoffs for the first time in his life. LOL

                              Whoa! Whoa! Who said anything about a win.

                              I was thinking more along the lines of we get the second wildcard, travel to Los Angeles and see Dickey allow four homers in a 9-2 loss.

                              Let's not go crazy here with all this playoff win talk.

                              It has been 21 years since the playoffs. Baby steps. LOL
