We don’t know if he’s liked by his teammates are not, but he’s a little Bautista clone and we all know how much Bautista is liked around the league. He can’t even get an invite to a camp.
I’d be willing to sell because I think his value is as high now as it’s going to get. I’m not sold on Stroman despite his great season last year. If I was, I’d probably be more willing to tolerate his sideshow. I still think his lack of downward trajectory is going to catch up to him at some point, and I fear that he’s going to throw his arm out as a starter because he really needs velocity to excel given his stature, and it’s takes him every ounce of strength in him to get that velocity up where it needs to be for 7 innings. I’d bet he’s in the bullpen within a few years.
