They have Brett Lawrie in the dressing room, they are done. The cancer has spread. I bet he has everyone hooked on redbull now, they are hyped up all day playing ping pong and cross dressing, by the time the game starts they are all coming down and they cannot concentrate.................

[HERPDERP]

Lawrie is having an odd year

Care to elaborate? I see increased K% / reduce BB% and high BABIP, otherwise looks pretty normal.

I'm just looking at his defensive value

Ah well defensive stats apparently aren't reliable in such sample sizes. But I'm suprised it's not much better anyway playing at Coliseum (huge foul territory).

Eric Wedge: "They need to get a closer!".

 

Ya, that's our biggest need. Considering we never have games that need closing.

Had one just 2 days ago that was blown For Gods Sakes.

getting a closer not only helps us improve in the closing role but allows us to use Cecil.

[HERPDERP]

this idiot:

 

"I didn't think about Stroman because he's on the DL but if they wanted Norris + Bautista + Reyes + Sanchez and another prospect (Pentecost/Alford) and it's the offseason I'd pull the trigger.

I was more thinking something like Hutch + Edwin + Castro/Norris + Alford"

[Angrioter]

We need a Closer to save one game by month

[RealAccountant]

I want Bautista to retire as a bluejay hopefully after a championship

[HERPDERP]

heres the espn insider article on suggested JAys trades:

 

 

"Proposed trade: LHP Daniel Norris, RHP Liam Hendriks, LHP Jairo Labourt and SS Richard Urena for Cueto and Chapman."

 

ya OK...thats not even worth Cueto.

I would do that in a hearbeat

Where do we sign???

A closer is f***ing dumb anyway. Use Cecil when he is best utilized during the game. What's the point in wasting your best reliever because he of savez?

btw I meant the Reds would not even do that trade for Cueto..yeah I'd do it in a heartbeat too.

 

1 top prospect + mlb reliever + scrubs?

I agree. I wish we could have Osuna and Cecil share the closers role..just don't have them pitch on the same day if there is no save situation.

 

But with Delabar shaping up nicely, we could have 3 rotated

Half a season of Cueto when you're not going to make the playoffs (and likely can't resign him) would be a pretty good trade for the Reds to get Norris+. Obviously they could probably get a better package if there including Chapman)

Actually other than the blown save the other day our Bullpen has looked pretty sweet as of late. Power from the right side in Delabar, Osuna and Hendricks, Cecil, Loup (looking better), and Cocaine from the left. This could be an above average bullpen if they don't go with 1 closer and play the best guy in the spot they need him.

[HERPDERP]

Hendriks is shaping up a lot more nicely than Delabar. Why doesn't he get any hype?

 

Unfortunately he has extreme splits.

if I were the Reds I'd ask for two top 25 prospects if possible. I don't think the three other parts of the pieces are worth another 'Norris'

Why do people place such an immense value on half a year of Cueto?

It's a seller's market.

Yeah they have looked good. Helps that they are rested a bit now compared to April.

 

And Tepera! Hes not throwing as hard as last week (98, now 94 again) but he has been a surprise. And Bo Schultz looks like he can survive with the 97 mph fastball /88 slider

[HERPDERP]

I'd never splurge on half a year of control but there are so many teams that are willing to. Doesn't help with the 2nd wildcard.

[BlueJaysGirl]

He's hit 96 mph once or twice. Can anyone explain his increased velo?

[BlueJaysGirl]

Because a premium starter helps you get to the playoffs. We've had quite a drought.
