Wonder if Biggio K's so much cause he just refuses to swing at balls and just gets f***ed by bad umpires.

 

I think there is something to this. Biggio appears to have superior strike zone recognition but hasn't earned the respect from MLB umpires yet. If he hits half decently over the next year and continues to not show up umpires, he'll earn the respect of the umpires and start getting those called in his favour.

Morales batting for Cameron Maybin is one of those things that would have baffled everyone like 7 years ago.

 

Well 7 years ago Morales was a genuinely good hitter so it wouldn't have been the weirdest thing.

Yeah, we ain't good, but we just beat the Yankees!

Wow, was that an 87mph changeup on the final strike??

 

If so, great call

 

Slider, Ken Giles only throws two pitches and both of them are 80 pitches.

Ken Giles is gonna net a haul at the deadline. It’s be similar to what the O’s would’ve gotten if they traded Britton at his peak.

lol... Why?

 

Duh, because he once had a meltdown and punched himself in the face and also imploded that one time in the playoffs. That means you have to ignore the otherwise elite and immaculate large body of work spanning his entire career.

What's a realistic package for Giles?

 

2 out of Tony Gonsolin/Dennis Santana/Mitchell White + maybe a throw in.

 

I think we'll have to settle lower than the May/Ruiz/Lux territory.

If that's the best package the Jays are gonna get for Giles, then maybe they should just hang on and try to extend him.

Exactly, as sooner or later, we would need a major league pitching stafff

2 very good prospects + at the least.

 

That would be amazing.

 

I'd be happy with an AA or AAA starter that has a change to be mid-rotation or a little better plus some young pups that may become something. Or a decent SP prospect and an OF that has more tools and potential than our current crop.

Yes, that's light for a year and a half of Giles... I'd expect more of something like one of Lux/May, Santana and Alvarez coming back, if we were to trade him to the Dodgers, somewhere in that ball-park.

That would be an objectively underwhelming return.

If the Dodgers don't want to part with Lux or Ruiz for Giles, they should have no shot at acquiring him. Zero reason to move one of the best relievers in baseball for a couple of mediocre pitching prospects.

Yeah, those guys would be the additional piece, not the front liner like Lux, etc...

Got to give Montoya props for bringing in Giles for the four out save.

 

I take a lot of issue with Buntoya but this ^. Giles has been just filthy.
