I agree that Stroman is much more suited to a bullpen role but the Jays need starters. Anyways he's still pretty young and is committed so I have faith he will turn it around.

MLB Draft going on right now as well and Jason Groome - 6'7" LHP with a nasty breaking ball - who was in the running for 1st overall (no clear cut top prospect) goes to the Red Sox at #12.

Stroman doesn't seem to have the movement on his pitches that he had earlier this year and late last year.

He also doesn't have command of his pitches right now. I don't know if it is a matter of hitters catching up to him as much as it is a pitcher who isn't giving himself the chance to be successful by commanding his pitches.

I think he had been favoring his hip or something. Precautionary is what they said.

Loup in to face the lefty Davis and its a HR. Not a bad pitch actually, low and outside, but he put it over the LF fence.

Bullpen blowing a game ? Martin double play? Should we bet Orioles win in the 9th with a HR ?

I've always find it weird they compliment pillar on his arm, sure he might be accurate usually but his arm is rather weak.

Well I hope Rogers enjoys pissing away another season because they are too cheap to fill a glaring hole in the offseason.
