SongInTheAir Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Sixto Sanchez is healthy and "in the best shape of his life" but still won't be on a big league mound until probably after the All Star Break because of concerns surrounding his conditioning and arm strength.

mk613 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Man seriously at this point I don’t expect much from him. Hoping he comes back strong but man this just sucks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfJack Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 This is what I expected, he just missed 2 full seasons. No way was he going to be on the opening day roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlinsmaniac Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Glad to hear it, this is very good news! Id rather give him plenty of reps in AAA to get his mechanics figured out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather give him plenty of reps in AAA to get his mechanics figured out Get his arm stretched out and all that, absolutely. And even if he doesn't get fully stretched out to start MLB games, if his velo and movement are all there, big bullpen option for the second half. Jake Eder, too. Man if we can just stay in this race by July ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man if we can just stay in this race by July ... Just thinking as well, if we do go to a 6-man rotation later in the year [with Sandy still going every fifth game] ... Sandy Luzardo [probably capped at 160 innings is my guess] Cabrera [probably capping at 140] J'Daniel [180-200? Let him go and see what happens] Cueto Eury [cap at 60 MLB innings] Brax for some spot starts Eder and Sixto can do 3-inning stints at times if healthy Shoot ...

mystikol87 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Let's rewrite that sad sack blurb: "Sixto Sanchez has lost 50 pounds and he’s still building arm strength but isn’t expected to be ready until summer." vs "Sixto Sanchez has lost 50 pounds and is still building arm strength; he's expected to be on a big league mound by midseason."

hovertical Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 So 2 1/2 seasons before he might return. How many outings before he needs TJ next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this change. 3 minutes ago, hovertical said: So 2 1/2 seasons before he might return. How many outings before he needs TJ next? Probably won't. It was all shoulder stuff for him so if that's behind him, might be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 So this is better news than he is not expected back in 2023 at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovertical Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 i do agree he could be a massive boost, especially out of the pen - but as a pessimist i know he's gonna blow his elbow out after a few starts....just because....Marlins things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valid Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I still believe he may very well have the best raw stuff out of any pitcher on this team, so getting him back midseason would almost be like a major trade addition. Of course, he hasn't pitched since 2020, so I'm not sure how much we can actually expect from him if and when he does return this season.

Eh, he was pretty meh the second time through the order and when teams would see him again - he does have very good stuff. Not arguing there but I think Sandy and Lizard have better stuff overall imo. I really do think Sixto's best value would be as a closer or high leverage dude from the pen. I understand a starter has more value but he really was hit pretty hard when guys would see him again later on - especially the next time they met in another series. Anyway, he should be a good upgrade either way assuming he hasn't lost motion and velo. I'll be very interested to see what he can do post ASG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
