I think the jays definitely see Osuna as a starting pitcher in the future. This year was kinda a win now and put anyone anywhere they can help the club for this year.

You can’t even consider putting osuna as a starter

Osuna nor Sanchez should be put in the rotation.

Sanchez definitely should be in the rotation. Osuna should stay as the closer.
Draven Moss
Osuna would likely be a safer rotation option than Sanchez at this point. Sanchez’s walk rate is too high to be an effective starter, whereas Osuna doesn’t have that issue to overcome.

Sanchez just isn’T the same as starter, just leave him in the pen. We can find pitching, we need to spend some money

Sanchez was the best starter the Jays had when he got hurt initially. His ERA was around 3.40. That’s pretty damn solid for a starting pitcher if you ask me.

Why not have it both ways? Neither Osuna or Sanchez will be allowed to throw 200 IP next year; have them in the rotation for four months then transition them to the bullpen leading up to the playoffs. Repeat under they’re built up to 30+ starts per year. The Jays will need to get starters at the trade deadline, but that might be cheaper than getting starters in the offseason.

If you can keep Dickey at the back end of the rotation he’s a perfectly servicable innings eater. The problem with knucklers comes with expectations of duplication of Cy Young winning performances. It’s best to take that a the exception rather than the rule. Enjoy it while it lasts, and be happy having a guy that will go 200 every year while sporting an ERA around 4. Anything more is just gravy. And expecting a dominant playoff performance is just asking for trouble.

I think they should exercise Dickey’s option and try to work out a deal with Estrada before the QO is due. They’ll have an influx of cash coming in from their playoff run so overpaying him a bit shouldn’t be much of an issue.

I have a feeling the RA Dickey will go down as one of the most lopsided trades of this century.

Ha. Who would of thought at the time the Jays and Mets would be on the same timeline to compete? Really a great trade for the Mets.

Knuckleballers are like knuckleballs. They bounce all over the place. For $12m you’ll be hard pressed to find someone better than Dickey.
