P2F Old-Timey Member Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Just some food for thought, but Brent Suter might be something. His repertoire reminds me a little bit of that of Kyle Hendricks, except Suter throws a slider instead of a sinker, in addition to the 86 MPH-4SFB, CH combo. According to Pitch Info, Suter does possess a curveball, though, like Hendricks, it's seldom used. They both rely heavily on the fastball (70% usage). Suter's fourseamer has a K rate over 20%, while the slider induces whiffs at a 22% rate. The changeup, unfortunately, lags behind at 13%, but it's probably because there's only a 5 MPH difference between it and his fourseamer, allowing hitters to tee off on it so far to the tune of a .571 AVG. If Suter could shave 2-3 MPH off of his CH, he'd likely have hitters well out in front of it, subsequently leading to a few more whiffs and a pretty deadly pitch mix. I hope he figures it out, because if he does he could be here to stay.
Orgfiller Old-Timey Member Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 He's kind of amazing. Also failed to mention his ISO has gone up at every level, now sitting at .288 in AAA.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 I'll probably regret this in the winter, but I'm going to call up Rafael Devers. This kid is a beast.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Oppo bomb over the Monster. Lol wat.

Nah I decided to jettison Granderson, who has been useless for a month now. I wouldn't mind trading Ryon Healy though.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 That last minute Melky trade got me, Odubel would've been in. Ah well, I made a decent comeback this week. Score a run Crawford, stay on the the bench Joc, good week Torontofan.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Hoping this move to Coors turns on Lucroy.
BTS Community Moderator Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 I'd like to move Gerardo Parra for a waiver or MiLB pick. CF/1B eligibility and slashing 354/376/531.
BTS Community Moderator Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Parra + njh 3rd waiver to Dinger for his 2nd waiver. I'll process tonight.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Sorry I haven't responded to deals...my wifi is as spotty as the neighbourhood at my rental in Winnipeg. Springer injury and getting my ass kicked last week has again changed my tune. If I make big moves for a starter I'll do it in the off season. As some of you already know, on September 1st I'll be moving to Hay River Northwest Territories for an 8 month contract with the Arctic Winter Games. I don't assume that there will be much for nightlife so I don't see it affecting my offseason, except for maybe the Waiver draft and I'll do lists if needed.

Bring a lot of mosquito repellent. AWG are fun though.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Xander Bogaerts kinda sucks now.
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Xander Bogaerts kinda sucks now. He's still young though he isn't one of the top shortstops offensively to own in fantasy as you would have thought when you dropped his name. Has a .750 OPS with only 6 HR's and 9 SB's this season thus far. I don't see him posting better numbers than 2015 or 2016 moving forward.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Boxy, why aren't you using your DL slots? You have 4 DL guys on the bench and none of them are in DL slots.
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 So Yahoo is 10 GS for positional eligibility? I'm crossing my fingers BOS plays Eduardo enough to make him the coveted 2B, SS, 3B, OF
Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 So Yahoo is 10 GS for positional eligibility? I'm crossing my fingers BOS plays Eduardo enough to make him the coveted 2B, SS, 3B, OF 5 started or 10 appearances. You can go to players -> position eligibility to see it.
torontofan Verified Member Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 May be looking at trading newly appointed closer Shane Greene. He would be an intriguing target as he has both SP and RP eligibility as well as little competition for the closer role. "Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said Monday that Shane Greene will be the team's closer following the trade of Justin Wilson."
Sammy225 Old-Timey Member Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Morton to Sammy for his milb 2nd. Yup
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 I'm surprised NJH didn't make that buy now that Cueto has 18 blisters and needs Tommy John.
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Still shopping Nelson Cruz if any team is interested in a big power bat. As well, could part with other bats like CF Dexter Fowler, CF Eddie Rosario, and 1B/OF Matt Adams. If anyone wants to roll the dice on Tyson Ross, could move him for a draft pick.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 I would like to acquire Buster Posey. Sound good?
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 I would like to acquire Buster Posey. Sound good? If only I picked up Mike Zunino when he was a FA. I'll listen to offers on Posey. Probably will be tough to move him, though I'm not opposed to it.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 I'm very curious as to what red flags jaysblue is seeing in Cruz to make him sell so aggressively before the playoffs.
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 I'm very curious as to what red flags jaysblue is seeing in Cruz to make him sell so aggressively before the playoffs. I don't see any major red flags with Cruz other than his age moving forward. Mariners keeping him as a DH primarily should keep him fresh and should help him avoid nagging injuries. Haven't seen any signs of a major decline with him. I'd prefer to keep Cruz obviously for down the stretch in a perfect world. If I could add another SP that is similar in value, I don't mind rotating Adams and Grichuk in one of my OF or DH spots.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 I'm very curious as to what red flags jaysblue is seeing in Cruz to make him sell so aggressively before the playoffs. Probably just looking to cash out an ancient slugger before he declines beyond any trade value. Miguel Cabrera and Jose Bautista became league average hitters overnight.
