It is. That's why there is an opt out clause.

 

but after the 3rd and 4th years... I don't get it. He could have got way more if he just stayed healthy through this year.

How small or big of an "if" is that? Without digging to deep into it, it seems like Stras is one of those guys who is always on the cusp of an injury.

So what do we make of Trevor Story?

Obviously tearing the cover off the ball. Striking out a lot at 33%, but seeing a lot of pitches per PA at 4.39 and walking at respectable 9%. BABIP creeping up a bit now that all his balls aren't leaving the yard.

 

Should be a useful player at worst, but I wonder where he settles in.

ok, so we got the sour opinion out of the way, and the surly opinion out of the way... what do peeps actually think of how his skill set plays out. Genuinely interested in knowing what others think of a guy with an odd profile.

For some reason I was under the impression that Appel had been pitching well in AAA, but that is not the case at all.

I don't have to hope for s*** about Mazara, you trading him is already really, really funny.

 

See, that's just mean...

 

You already have enough studs on your team. I don't!

The results are great, but a guy with some seriously shaky elbow history throwing a splitter 38% and slider 25% of the time makes me think you were wise to cash in.

 

I won't lie... owning him is like living with the sword of damocles looming over you (to channel my inner scully)

Ya, but he's Asian. They're automatically healthier, so you can probably subtract 5 years off his age. So really, he has the body of a 22 year old.

 

Case in point = Hiroki Kuroda (Who also is heavy on the splitter/slider combo)

Three weeks in a row against the top three in the PRs is a real kick in the nuts

That probably means your ROS schedule is a cookie. Come out of that stretch with your head above water and you're golden.

Imagine if I played Beltran on Monday

Mark Trumbo for Mark Appel. Who says no?

 

Appel shouldn't be owned in a 240 prospect dynasty league, so I'm guessing BTS.
