Repeating my post from the Soroka thead below:


Sad to tell you folks is that Soroka will not be given a chance to succeed at the level people are dreaming about. They will have him on a ridiculously low pitch count and will pull him in a heartbeat. That way, they can maintain the lie that he's not ready and allow this do-nothing front office to do nothing (trade-wise) for a little while longer. If he lasts five innings, regardless of the lead, I will be pleasantly surprised.

If A.A. had developed a set yet, they would have a significant deal in place to create this slot in the rotation moving forward. Soroka need not see Gwinnett again unless it's to pick up his personal effects.
 
Soroka has been given No. 40 to wear -- a number that could use some dignity. Here who has worn 40 this century:

2017 Bartolo Colon (different size)
2016 Alexi Ogando
2014-15 Alec Wood
2013 Kameron Loe
2011-12 Randall Delgado
2010 Takashi Saito
2009 James Parr
2008 Jeff Ridgway
2006-07 Lance Cormier
2005 Kyle Farnsworth
2004 Roman (the other) Colon, C.J. Nitkowski
2002-03 Darren Holmes (finally! someone who was a success)
2001 Joe Nelson, Cory Aldridge
