In a well advanced hitters league, Aaron Sanchez is allowing batters to hit .151 against him thus far. It's hard not to get giddy over his potential, especially because he has the smooth delivery to help improve his command (as seen in the video). A lot of scouts see him as a really good #2, some also see him as a potential #1 if everything comes together (which he has a good chance of succeeding at). His stuff is so nasty that it will be able to play in any park, and he could thrive in the AL East (when he's ready) with a 95-98 fastball, a 77-79 curve and an 86-88 change (Callis said he has a potential plus change too to give him 3 plus pitches).

Another article on the highly sought after Masahiro Tanaka and why the Jays "need" to sign him.
Given not just the article, it makes perfect sense to gamble on him rather than Santana or Ubaldo as the payoff could be huge for the fact of potential and you know he's a workhorse.
They wont but should. Considering there free agents dont seem to work out or be as good as thought!

He also threw 160 pitches in a playoff game and then came out of the bullpen the following day to throw an additional 15 pitches in relief. The kid is a work horse.
This is the only thing that I'm not a big fan of. Shades of Dice-K.
Or a shade of yu darvish?
Well, Darvish did have some shoulder issues this year.

Unfortunately, its not happening. AA didn't even scout him personally and they don't have the money to do a 60-70M posting bid + 50-60M contract.
Jays missed out their chance at blowing their money on Darvish who would have been sooooooooo worth it.
