Dustin McGowan threw two 20 pitch innings in a simulated game today…3.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 5K…reported no issues, felt strong

Sounds good.

And today’s starting 9

I’d throw in the direct links for the tweets but twitter doesn’t seem to be working right at the moment and I can’t get to them.

How do they figure hits, runs etc in a simulated game?

That is good news though

In some simulated games you do pitch against your teammates.

In others you get up and throw 10-20 pitches. Sit down for 10 minutes to simulate in between innings and then get up and do again.

Have we ever had so many pitchers that could pitch in the majors?

Dunno, but it's a good problem to have

With the amount of pitching injuries the Jays have suffered in recent years, it’s a good thing we’re going to have so many starters in AAA that are ready to jump in. It would be nice though if this year was different and we could have more stability in the rotation. Can dare to dream…

I gotta say...

I’m really not a fan of having Tallet on the starting rotation to be honest. Maybe he’ll just be in the rotation until Mcgowan is good to go, I dunno. I’d be more comfortable with him as a reliever.

I think the idea is to flip guys like Tallet and Eveland and allow our prospects to get the AAA and AA development they need. I guess it is all about building assets. If you start all your prospects at the majors, then the assets will quickly diminish.
