****UPDATE - John Lott confirms the call-up. Everyone get ready for the heat.
Rumours are flying about today that Henderson Alvarez has been called up to the Blue Jays. Lider en Deportes is a newspaper in Venezuela and is reporting that Alvarez is being called up to start at home against the Angels on Friday.
We have heard rumblings that this may have been coming for a bit, and I would like to see a source a little closer to the Jays report the call up but there does seem to be a Justin Jackson tweet about the call up as well so maybe this is actually legit? UPDATE: Dave Gershman says he is waiting for the press release but it looks like it is going to happen.
I know Alvarez has been lighting up the radar gun this year in the minors, but I am honestly unsure of the massive rush all of a sudden to get this guy to the big leagues. Keith Law in his recent chat indicated that while he liked Alvarez as a prospect but that he isn't missing a lot of bats at the moment. To me it seems like when the reports came out that this guy hit 100 on the gun that all of sudden everyone wanted him to move up. While I am excited as the next guy to see another prospect I have to wonder if this the right step in his development (Then again who the heck am I to judge).
Alvarez has spent most of the year in AA New Hampshire and has put up good numbers with an 8-4 record 2.86 ERA in 15 games (14 starts) 88 innings total. 66/17 K/BB with a .245 opposing batting average.
So what do you think? Excited to see Alvarez?

I don`t think that`s Alvarez. Thought he was darker with curly locks.
Hmm. Your right. I just did a search without really looking. SBNation only had the one photo on file…

I'm excited
But I really don’t get why they’re writing off Litsch as a starter, unless it’s injury-related. Litsch does throw a large amount of cutters and sliders, so perhaps that’s why.
I also don’t know if it’s the right time for Henderson, he hasn’t had a full year in AA yet, but then again there’s the argument that he will not learn to use his breaking stuff until he needs it. And he will surely need it in the MLB.
Just a thought but...
maybe they just feel like they want LItsch in the bullpen longterm. Maybe they feel that with the influx of young pitching in the minors that there wont be a spot for Litsch for rather than havin him spot start they are giving to a young player who could make more positive contributions to the future of the jays.
"Before you can win you must believe you are worthy"
yep
I have been thinking the same thing. Jesse’s future with Jays is bullpen. With young promising arms comimg up and maybe a trade or signing over the winter, the may be prepping Litsch for the bullpen. Don’t agree, nor do I disagree, just a thought.
by Rhinos on Aug 8, 2011 6:18 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
The pen may be Litch’s future as a Jay but he should keep starting till we have a permanent replacement for him. Value is higher as a starter as well.

And to be honest
Litsch will be a shut down guy in the bullpen. He’s got the stuff to do it. 1 inning against the heart of the order, or can stretch to 2 innings if needed.
Also an option for long relief if a start is pulled under 3 or 4 innings. Good guy to have around.
Can we start the Gose watch yet?
As I said elsewhere
He can cruise in the minors without the slider working. Facing ML hitters might reinforce with Hendy (can I call him that?) the need to focus on the third pitch.
Alvarez as closer?
Richard Griffin mentioned in his mail bag today that he thought Alvarez would be a prime prospect for the closer role for the Blue Jays. I like the sound of that idea. Bring him up now, let him make 5-8 starts til the end of the season to build up some confidence, and then shift him to the bullpen for next year.
Speaking of pitchers, how is Drabek doing?
by James McCullough on Aug 8, 2011 5:48 PM EDT reply actions
Any pitcher that is good enough to start. Should start.
The only reason I see to move him to the pen is if he is not one of our better starters and there are no other options.

the only reason to put him in the bullpen
is if he cant hack it as a starter or has injury problems that leads one to believe he cant start and would be healthier for him to relieve. it clearly seems that AA’s approach to pitchers anyways, is to have them start just in case they can before putting them in the bullpen. weve recently seen this move with Pj Walters even, as he has been starting in Vegas

you don't give up on a 21 year old
with a great fastball and a change, by shifting him to the pen in a non-contending year
Next year should be a contending year
But I agree otherwise.

Also apparently the jays have signed 26 year old cuban outfielder Kenen Bailli.
He’s been assigned to the GCL which is odd for a 26 year old but here’s some limited info I could find on him:
http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Kenen_Bailly
The only confirmation of the signing is on the Jays transaction web page here:
http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/team/transactions.jsp?c_id=tor#month=8&year=2011&team_id=141
And a small mention of him on this blog here:

For the Lazy:
Bailly hit .367/.464/.647 as the Guantánamo left fielder in 2007-2008. He ranked among the Cuban Serie Nacional leaders in runs (74, tied for 8th), triples (9, tied with Leonis Martin for second), total bases (183, 7th), average (5th behind Yoandy Garlobo, Martin, Yasser Gomez and Yoandry Urgelles) and slugging (5th behind Alexei Bell, Alfredo Despaigne, Urgelles and Yosvani Peraza. He was left off the postseason All-Star team as the outfielders chosen were Bell, Despaigne and Urgelles.
Through 2007-2008, Kenen had batted .323 and slugged .492 in 5 seasons in Cuba. In 2008-2009, Kenen slipped to .296/.371/.508. He was still productive but only made the top 10 in one category – strikeouts (64, tied for 6th with Irait Chirino).
In 2009-2010, Bailly produced at a .377/.438/.569 rate with 65 RBI in 69 games. He tied Yunier Mendoza for 4th in the league in average behind only Despaigne, Jose Dariel Abreu and Henry Urrutia.
Interesting signing. He can definitely rake, but its in a league I’ve never heard of.
Can we start the Gose watch yet?
i feel the same way
ill for sure watch all his starts up here but i think its too soon. theres no need to rush him, a little more time in AA cant hurt at his age

Honestly do the majority of adults stand up cursing up a storm when discussing sports with a buddy? I never have, do I curse? Sure all the bloody time but not like it has become common to see around various blogospheres.

Good question
They have been promoting Tom’s (for the most part Tom’s) posts lately during their linkfest. Not sure why they don’t have BBB on thier links. Probably just haven’t updated it in a while.

I apologize, I am in a pissed off mood because I still cant get the SBNation servers to upload the files I need.
You are right Im being stupid about this, Maybe me saying the whole rationale point thing is over the top, but Ive seen people mention Fry here before as if he is an authority on it.
I love Stephan Fry, he is awesome, a comedy god and genius, but just because he says something doesn’t necessarily make it true. As with anything there is a time and a place for cursing, I cant walk into one of my compliance briefings at work and start off with “Here are the results, they are a *$#&ing mess”.
Its the same here, which is why I choose this site over DJF a long time ago. And that is really all I wanted to get across. That DJF act grew tired to me.

Going to the Games on Friday and Saturday
I’m going to the games on Saturday and Sunday and i don’t really want to see the rookie pitch. Its a five hour drive so i don’t get to many games and i don’t want to see them get lit up with a rookie on the mound when i only get to see 2 games this year (fri and sat) at Rogers Center. I am happy though that i get to see Lawrie and Rasmus and Vernon Wells return to Rogers Center.
Question for you guys – If you were at Friday’s game, when Wells comes up would you Boo or Cheer or maybe alternate between the two? Thoughts? I have mixed emotions about the subject…
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.

I’m going to Friday and Saturdays games, not Saturday and Sunday….

That’s just silly. What did he do to get booed. Maybe it was all his charity work in the GTA, or that he signed a contract that paid him more that he was worth, or that he didn’t want to be traded…umm yeah, why boo?
by Rhinos on Aug 8, 2011 6:41 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Yeah, don’t boo Wells… he did nothing to deserve a negative fan reaction. The worst thing he ever did was sign a contract that would pay him more then he’s worth (which everyone of us would almost certainly do in the same situation)… and really we dumped the majority of that on the Angels so there isn’t even that.
Cheer
He put his heart on the line for this team and has been nothing but class in his time here. I feel he would have been a lifetime Jay if JP didn’t eff up his contract.
Can we start the Gose watch yet?
Cheer
I agree, there are some real jerks who continue to insult him and I don’t get it. Didn’t he win Baseball’s best person award or something like that?

@VagabondBansal
I would cheer
There’s a difference between a player struggling and a player giving up. I don’t really think Vernon gave up during his struggles, and whatever problems he had on the field, he always seemed to be front and centre as a team leader off the field and with the community. Toronto has this reputation lately of booing any player who dares leave one of our pro teams, but I don’t think it is that cut and dry. If you slag the city (Bosh, Carter) or don’t seem to put forth full effort while you were here (Rios) or go to a sworn rival (Burnett) then I don’t think booing is completely out of line.
Burnett was also a giant chud
But yea, I don’t get booing neutral ex Jays like Frank the Cat. Some fans are idiots.

I love the Alvarez is being called up.
There’s a crop of pitching coming up that might be nipping at Alvarez and company’s heels. I say let’s see who can make it and who can’t. If he’s not ready, he’ll go back down and fight his way back up again.
but the GO rate
is sooooooo dreamy…… bit concerned about the low K rate. but imagine what that will be like with a consistent breaking ball
Yes, looking forward to seeing him
In pencilling in my 2013 roster expectations, I see a set of 5 starters: Romero, Morrow, Cecil and the two best out of Alvarez, Hutchison (I am guessing he will be the best of these), Molina and McGuire. Those that don’t make it will head to the pen, where they will join Janssen, Perez, Litsch (who will be a bullpen star), maybe Villanueva, and maybe Carreno. So, yes, I want to see how strong a contender Alvarez will be. And I suspect that AA wants to see that, too.
Of course, I seem to be counting out messrs. Drabek and Wojciechowski, but I could be wrong.
I too think Hutch will be the best
The guy has been a beast in the FSL lately, even though he’s young for the league.
FSL is a pitchers league is it not?
I wonder what his numbers look like when stacked up against league leaders?
Onions Baby Onions
Litsch is going to destroy the bullpen
I agree, I think its the right move for him.
Can we start the Gose watch yet?
+ Fastball, + Change, GB pitcher who's approching his innings limit.
He’s here for 2 starts, max. We have the rosters expand and he gets shut down.
Excited to see him. Excellent timing.
innings limit?
he’s only around 90 innings and threw about 110 last year… i think its more than reasonable for him to pitch into september
Miscalculated
But still hes got room.
134.2 is his limit I think…. 120% is the club rule right?
That`s weird, I`m sure I heard that he was going to move past it soon...
Rule of Thumb, yeah. Guess it’s more of a 5-6 game audtion.
I guess it is
Because they aren’t going to deal with a low limit next year based on him sitting in the pen. They will want him with similar innings pitched this year to last, and if possible push up the limit for next year.
I doubt they send him down either because of the ensuing expanded rosters.
Based on his pace in the minor leagues and the 120% cap he can go 6 starts. (5.86667 innings a game)
Booing Vernon
There certainly are reason to boo Vernon. Not saying that i am going to, but despite all the charity work, the fact that he didn’t want to leave Toronto and that he is a very, very nice guy, he did set the franchise back big time. In fact, if he wasn’t traded by AA and was batting .212 with a .246 OBP and .383 SLG while pulling in a remaining $87 million on his contract, we’d be all booing him hard every game. If anything he will be cheered because we’ve got him off the books and whatever booing that is heard will be from the Angels fans in attendance. A guy could be the nicest guy in the world with the greatest of intentions but if contributes directly to another 3 or 4 years of my Jays not making the postseason, then ya, he’s getting boo’d even if he saved a bus load of orphans. just sayin…
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
I very strongly disagree
But I disagree with all booing. I would be somewhat neutral to it if the guy you were booing went to the Yankees/Red Sox and/or was a total jerk, but to Vernon it would be very unfair.
Btw, you should be excited about Alvarez’ debut: he might become a good Jays starter for years to come.
Just because a crap GM signed him to a big contract
Doesn’t mean you take it out on him. It was the franchises fault and it set back the franchise.
The injuries...
…were the result of trying so hard. He always gave 100%.

If your reason for booing him is that in the event that Vernon was on this year’s Blue Jays squad and for another few years after that, keeping the Jays out of the playoffs, why would you be booing him?
I’m pretty sure he isn’t on the team anymore, and as such he isn’t keeping us from making a playoff run.
Jose Bautista has a higher midi-chlorian count than you do.
he did set the franchise back big time

Doesn’t miss bats too much, but also doesn’t miss the zone.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
With the amount of pitching experience all the coaches have
I’m just going to trust that they’ll do the right thing. I’m definitely excited to see Alvarez. What’s the worst that can happen with a couple of MLB starts, even if he isn’t ready.
by Nadia on Aug 8, 2011 8:05 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
I'm okay with this.
Give him a few starts, let him get a taste. Then next year he can start out in AAA or if he is really successful up here then he can begin in our rotation. I’d rather pitchers up here then in the PCL anyway.
Well, I'm not really how I feel about this..
I think we should wait to call him up until he has a decent 3rd pitch..

Martinez is known to have many ‘out’ pitches, according to JaysJournal, Alvarez has a good fastball, good changeup and a decent slider.

I was listening to Wilner yesterday in the post game
he said he spoke with Sal Fasano and Sal said Alvarez is pretty much big league ready. Wilner says he’s inclined to believe Sal Fasano, who know pitching and baseball as well as anyone.
So, if that is the case, then I’m excited about the call-up

Fun Fact..
My sister works in the restaurant in the RBC Center, and hes not really my favourite either but still, he played for the Sting, thought I’d mention it anyways :P
Colby Rasmus is pretty good at baseball..
The mustach, mouth and face aside.
The crap he says…. ugh.
I was pumped for last season
Went to a couple pre season games….then lost interest
Overpriced
18 bucks for an OHL game???

Since this has sort of become a thread of random mixings
From Olney on twitter:
The National League has six teams, among 16, over .500. The American League East has four teams over .500.
That’s upsetting.

really sad, that is why the playoff format needs an overhaul
Toronto Maple Leafs: All about the Lemon Grabs
Twitter
OT Brandon Morrow is an extension candidate
If an extension did happen this winter, however, a fair number would be a three-year deal worth $19MM, broken down as $4MM in 2012, $6MM in 2013 and $9MM to cover Morrow’s first free agent year in 2014. Knowing Anthopoulos’ history, such an extension would certainly include at least one option year, perhaps an $11MM team option for 2015.
@BBBMinorLeaguer
Hopefully he keeps underperforming until he signs, then he turns it on…..

I was listening to that podcast Wilner does with whoever
And they were saying how it’s weird how Vernon has been almost forgotten. We’ve barely talked about him all year.
Yea i heard that too, its probably b/c of how great Jose is
and the team had so much to look forward like Lawrie, we forgot about Vernon.
Sooo,
Juan with the Dodgers: .308/.347/.446
Napoli is hitting .294 now. Yippee!
Don’t even know why there is even discussion about Snider not being a future Jay. AA is too smart to trade him anytime soon.
Travis Snider is “100%” a part of the Blue Jays’ future. “He doesn’t need a change of scenery,” Anthopoulos told Blair.
Juan is only 20 games so let's not get Jayson Nix'd away

Kyle Drabek..
5.2 IP | 8 H | 3 R | 3 ER | 3 BB | 0 SO | 2 HR |
Those 0 strikeouts are kind of an odd thing to see for a pitcher with stuff like Drabek.
Colby Rasmus is pretty good at baseball..
it sucked worse when he was doing it in toronto
