July 28, 20187 yr I am not a fan of position players pitching even in blow outs. Santiago could have gone the 9th. My feeling is that moves like this don’t respect the game

We can dream big and think, what if he kept this up and actually turned into a semi decent pitcher, now wouldn't that be something?

I guess I should have added that there is always a chance that a position player being used to pitch has a chance of injury too. I know there are other opinions on the issue but that’s mine

My feeling is that moves like this don’t respect the game How about putting pitchers in to play 3B? Only going to see more and more stuff like this until they expand the active roster to 26, which will almost certainly happen next CBA negotiation.

My feeling is that moves like this don’t respect the game I'm okay with pitching Davidson, but since this wasn't out of necessity (there were pitchers available) the Blue Jays should put full effort against him and not take it easy on him.

July 29, 20187 yr Is he out of options? If both sided are serious about his pitching, why not send him back to AAA and let him pitch down there and call up a reliever from Charlotte
July 29, 20187 yr If rosters expanded and another reliever was added to each team, they would still throw a bench player in blow outs yo save arms.
