I wonder who will be the first to undergo TJ surgery.

When you throw the baseball hard TJ injuries happen..Price of doing business these days if your a pitcher.

Jay’s fans are all hoping for the next Sonny Gray out of Stroman.. Gray, able to still throw up to 94-5 late in the game, despite being a small lad by baseball SP standards is another guy who kicks out the rulebook stating guys shorter than 6′ and not muscle bound cannot become top starters and maintain excellent velocity late into games.
I hope Stroman is another who helps burn that particular book up as well.

Many of these smaller guys are good for awhile, but most of them do eventually flame out. For the amount of time he is under team control though they should be fine, and on the flip side you have the tall pitchers that struggle to keep their limbs in control.
Alex Andreopoulos
I’m not sure he will be as good as Sonny as that is quite a high standard, but the Jays can surely use a guy that can pitch a solid 5-6 innings every fifth day. If Stroman can do that, it is all Jays fans should be hoping for.

Like Aiken. Lefty with a nice delivery, control, smarts, and hitting 95-96. Some good pitching at the top of the draft, Aiken is craftier, Kolek is more of a flamethrower. I’d take the craft guy, just because the 100 mph hs pitcher screams future tj all over to me. And Rodon’s arm is being pulverized, and they are actually hitting him a bit better this year.

Funny part is going to watch the teams that draft for a particular need, rather than the best guy available, especially when it comes to some of the terrific arms available at the top of the draft.
We know who the usual suspects are that still do this and haven’t yet been fired. It boggles the mind how they keep a job, or in some cases? Continue getting one.

Stroman also threw in the AFL last year (and had his MiLB innings reduced via a suspension to start last season, but was obviously still pitching), and Anthopoulos is on record saying Stroman and Hutch will likely not be on innings limits this year, unless things get out of hand (which they won’t because neither is going to top 200 regardless).
