You are talkin to yourself, You just answered your own question

 

It was that or delete the original question and pretend it didn’t happen. Was a toss up

I believe they use innings and not pitches. Like for U13 baseball in Ontario, you can throw 85 pitches and then you need to rest for 4 days. That typically get's a good pitcher through 4-5 innings, 6 if you're getting a lot of quick outs, but that's very unlikely. In the US, they'll say you can only throw 7 innings in 1 day and then you need 1 full day off before you can throw 7 again (I'm 100% guessing at this, but it's nowhere near as restrictive as it is in Ontario).

 

11-12 year old kids will throw 7 innings (with probably 100+ pitches) on a Friday night of a tournament and then throw another 7 innings on the Sunday without anyone blinking an eye.

 

That was back in my day, the latter that is.

Yup. I could actually see Shatkins being interested. They've done similar things on a smaller scale with Yates and Green. Kikuchi off the books 2025.

Probably 2/25. Unless he wants to test FA. But you’d think he’d be better off pitching 1 year, then FA

I was thinking 2/30. 5M to rehab in 2024 and then 25M in 2025.

[connorp]

Interestingly I saw they were looking to trade him. I guess to have him hang around the building and get to know people? Get a Comp pick I guess. $11m

Ah yeah I was just thinking he’d get 1/25 next year and so it’s just spread out. But probably worth 1/30 to a lot of teams

Smart.

I was the first to float the 2yr deal, where’s my praise?

Sign Gott. He's pretty good

[jaysblue]

Would roll the dice on Austin Meadows if you could sign him for cheap.

[Dick_Pole]

The Rockies got Cal Quantrill.

lol poor guy is going to have a 10 ERA next year. Career done.

[jaysblue]

Dodgers also seem like a great fit for him. Would love it though if the Jays could get Woodruff.

[jaysblue]

Garrett Hampson was non-tendered by the Marlins. Could be a nice pickup as a super-utility guy who could play everywhere.

If ohtani is part of a baptist church we never wanted him anyway

So let's see if I have this right. For a team that was really offensively challenged in 2023 some of your preferred free agent targets include the likes of Josh Donaldson, Joey Votto and Austin Meadows.
