RUPERTKBD Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Just to boost the optimism a bit more.... Apparently Hutch has been mowing them down in Triple A this season. Of course, Triple A is a lot different than MLB, but it bodes well for the Jays down the road when rosters are expanded, and/or if they move Sanchez back to the bullpen. (Right now, Sanchez is throwing too well to take him out of the rotation, but the plan all year has been to do just that at some point, in order to limit his innings pitched) If Hutch can step up and be a reliable 5th starter, it gives the Jays a lot more options going into the second half of the season.

ShakyWalton Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Jimmy...we hardly knew ya..... Jimmy Paredes' Toronto Blue Jays career was a short one. The team announced on Wednesday that the utility player had been dealt to the Philadelphia Phillies for cash or a player to be named later. A native of San Cristobal, Dominican Republic, the 27-year-old Paredes was claimed on waivers by the Jays from the Baltimore Orioles on May 16. He appeared in seven games for the Jays, posting four hits and two runs batted in 17 plate appearances. He was designated for assignment on Monday to make room on the roster for reliever Ryan Tepera. The Phillies will be the fifth team that Paredes has played for in his six-year pro career. After debuting with the Houston Astros in 2011, Paredes also spent time with the Kansas City Royals before signing with the Orioles. His best season in the majors came a year ago with the Orioles. He appeared in 105 games, hitting .275 with 10 home runs and 42 RBI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems a bit strange, but I think it comes down to roster space. There's a bit of a logjam in the middle infield and it will only get more crowded once Tulo gets back. The Jays had to call up Tepera because the bullpen is gassed and it doesn't look like it's getting any easier on that front. They have tomorrow off, (after finishing up the Yankees series tonight) but after Thursday, they start a ridiculous string of games on 17 consecutive days. They are going to need that extra arm in the pen. In fact, I could see them sending someone down for a game so they can bring Hutch up for a spot start. (My guess would be somewhere in the Philly series, if so) Tough to lose Paredes, because he was a useful bench player. Hopefully, he doesn't come back to haunt the Jays when they host the Phillies in the middle of this month. Even so, It's still preferable to having him hurt us as an Oriole.

I don't disagree, but probably preferable to waivers. His bat came in useful here and there but the utility man spots are taken up with glove first players in Barney and Goins and I don't disagree with that decision. I've heard rumblings a couple times, namely from Happ and Estrada that they wanted to go the full game. Personally, I like how Gibby is closely monitoring SP innings because only Dickey has a track record or going 200 in a year. The Jays can't have Estrada, Happ, Stroman, and Sanchez gassed by September, so better not to let things get carried away now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's just gotta be s bit of a blow to Paredes' ego. It's like being traded for "future considerations". I like what Paredes can bring but there's not really any need for him on the Jays. A better hitting catcher who can catch dickey or a heavier-hitting fourth outfielder would be nice off of the bench, though Zeke has been more than adequate thus far.

I think if Carrera starts today Saunders has lost his job for awhile...every player on the team has had a slump but soon as Saunders does he is platooned.

I really hope not. Unfortunately Zeke hits left too so Saunders doesn't have that advantage. I'm just thankful Jay Bruce didn't pass his physical...imagine how bleak that would look now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRussianRocket. Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 3 game sweep was huge. Way to get back in the division battle and take 6 games away. ...evolution of Sanchez has been spectacular to watch. He just keeps getting better and better. And Barney has been picking it up..

gmen81 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Quite the game going on in San Diego. 16-13 for the Mariners right now. Also you guys must be excited to see Dickey vs Price tomorrow. Too bad it wasn't Wright vs Dickey tomorrow and then Stroman vs Price on Saturday. Looking forward to Sunday's Matchup. Estrada vs Rodriguez. We will see how Rodriguez looks during his 2nd game back from a knee injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a fan of this team for so long, it's really exciting to see some success finally. Hope they can sustain it all season. It's June and they're still first in the division, that hasn't happened in forever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Not a lot of help for the Jays last night... boy did San Diego blow it in the 7th. It was either seven or eight 2-out singles for the Mariners in a 9 run inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmen81 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Was it here I read it or somewhere else? But I saw something where the Mariners strength of schedule has been the easiest so far. The Blue Jays have had the 4th hardest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
