Comments on: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly… http://jaysjournal.com/2010/06/24/the-good-the-bad-the-ugly/ A Toronto Blue Jays Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More Mon, 17 Dec 2012 19:16:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Mat Germain http://jaysjournal.com/2010/06/24/the-good-the-bad-the-ugly/comment-page-1/#comment-1776 Mat Germain Sun, 27 Jun 2010 11:58:46 +0000 http://jaysjournal.com/?p=1720#comment-1776 What about promoting from within to begin with? I'm thinking that all 3 NH stars, Trystan Magnuson, Tim Collins, and Daniel Farquhar should be headed to AAA after the allstar game in order to prepare them for the next step. It looks to me like Merkin Valdez isn't doing well in AAA at all (9.35 ERA)and that the same is true for Steven Register (6.12 ERA). Promote 2 of the 3 mentioned above and demote these 2. At least then you're getting 2 arms closer to being usable for the Jays and trying to rebuild 2 arms that have been "lackluster" so far. If Daniel or Trystan (my 2 picks) do well in AAA, then you can consider calling one up in September while the other closes in AAA. It'll be interesting to see when the Jays decide to do this, but I think it needs to be done in order to prepare for the fact that they may not be able to acquire decent RP help on the market.

The position is more volatile than any other in the game and so many times it doesn't end pretty (Eric Gagne to the Red Sox comes to mind).
