The ever fragile and totally useless Josh Donaldson has suffered yet another setback and will be out another 3 to 4 weeks after aggravating his calf injury. He did this by simply fielding ground balls. Damn you Donaldson...damn you.

Anyone have any thoughts on Ryan Borucki? He wasn't on my prospect radar due to low K rate, but he was thrown right into the fire against Houston, Detroit, and NYY, and has had a very good start to his MLB career. Is he worthy of more attention/consideration?Comment

He's a pretty highly regarded prospect up here, had been targeted for the rotation next spring. You're right, he won't K a ton, but the hope is that he should turn into a solid middle of the rotation guy.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.Comment

Short term, I'd be very leery. He was walking over 3/9 IP at Buffalo with a K rate of under 7/9 IP, and I don't think that low hit rate he had at Buffalo is sustainable, either.Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostI'm just here for the baseball.

Sean Reid-Foley and Danny Jansen up. Both have been impressive this year - Jansen has a .400 OBP over the last two years as a catcher, and Reid-Foley has an ERA around 3 and 10 K/9 between AA and AAA this year.
In other news, Vlad is hitting .395/.489/.763 with 4 HR and twice as many walks as strikeouts in his first 12 games at AAA.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.Comment

The Jays have to be asking themselves “WTF happened to Aaron Sanchez and Marcus Stroman?”
And BTW, 6 of their 9 starting hitters had an OBP under .300.Comment

no kidding, the plan has been to build the next-gen rotation around those two, but the way things are going I could see both of them gone next year ... the kids are looking like there will be enough to cobble together a 2-5 (there will be $ for an ace when we're competitive again) - Borucki, Reid-Foley, Pannone, Gaviglio, Pearson (missed most of this year with a broken arm from a comebacker, not joint but mid-arm ... he will be good to go in the AFL) ... there's hope.Originally posted by revo View PostIt certainly feels that way.

Sanchez would be an intriguing reclamation project. And an IF of Biggio-Bichette-Vlad sure looks pretty good compared to the out machines they're trotting out there right now.Originally posted by revo View PostI'm just here for the baseball.Comment

from the "that's embarrassing" dept ... today's MLB scoreboard for the Tor-Bal game lists the team leader for Tor as "J. Smoak .248 AVG"It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.Comment

Jays about to hire Charlie Montoyo as new manager (former bench coach for Tampa)It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.Comment

I don't know a ton about him but it seems that he'll be a good fit, in particular for mentoring the young players coming upOriginally posted by Gregg View PostIt certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.Comment
