His location just not there today, generally speaking. 7 HR for Tanaka in the last two starts. Hope it's just a rough spot for the guy and nothing to do with his elbow.
I'd let Romine catch him and see what happens. While Tanaka wasn't exactly "lights out" the last time Romine caught him, he's been 100% absolutely horrible when Sanchez catches him.
"Across Tanaka’s past four starts he is 2-2 with a Kei Igawa-like 10.50 ERA and has allowed 34 hits (10 homers) in 18 innings. For the season Tanaka is 5-3 with a bloated 6.56 ERA."
Are you willing to give up Glyber Torres and possibly Sheffield or Adams and or Frazier or Rutherford.
What has been discussed is a framework of Frazier/Sheffield w/second tier prospects. Torres won't be traded. Now ,today it's rumored that the Astros are after Cole so who knows?

You misheard - he has many fewer than Ortiz. His HR/AB against us is better than Ortiz though,

"Kei Igawa-like" was a nice touch.
