Jays decide to go with 6 man rotation to protect Sanchez. It may throw the pitcher's rhythm off a tad but i think it is an infinitely better decision than putting your young stud in the bullpen. I actually think putting Sanchez in the bullpen would have been more detrimental to him than just shutting him down for the season. He would have been forced to pitch in high leverage, high stress situations, when all year, he has spent most of his time keeping runners off of bases.
