Why is KK sitting tonight?

Maintenance.

Jonn · July 22, 2023

And it's light as f***?

I was mostly joking. I suggested Macko being he was in the original trade lol.

They aren't getting that much more though.

Jonn · July 22, 2023

Yeah, but with a righty on the mound he should be automatic in the lineup, no?

You would think so.

Likely something like Sem Robberse.

Robberse is the european guy they signed a couple of years ago right? Any good?

G-Snarls · July 22, 2023

Omar · July 22, 2023

G-Snarls · July 22, 2023

Yeah, he's been decent, ranks 11th in the top 30 by BA.

11. Sem Robberse

RHP

Ht: 6'1" | Wt: 185 | B-T: R-R

Age: 22

BA Grade/Risk: 45/High

Track Record: While baseball is a global game, few legitimate major league prospects have come from Europe. Robberse, who grew up in The Netherlands, is looking to make a name for himself as a true European major leaguer. After signing for $125,000 during the 2019 international signing period, Robberse blossomed into a legitimate starting pitching prospect. He spent a majority of his 2022 season at High-A Vancouver and made 17 starts for the Canadians before seeing a late-season promotion to Double-A New Hampshire.

Scouting Report: A slight righthander with a long arm action and true three-quarters slot, Robberse mixes three pitches predominantly in his fastball, slider and changeup combination. He sits 89-92 mph on a four-seam fastball that has natural cut and mixes in a low-to-mid-80s slider with moderate sweep. The two pitches account for over 75% of his pitch usage. He shows a mid-to-high-80s changeup to lefthanded hitters that generated high rates of whiffs and chase swings. Robberse lacks power but repeats his delivery well and shows the ability to tunnel both his slider and changeup off his fastball. Overall it's a strong pitch mix with improving feel and command.

The Future: Robberse has the look of a pitchability back-of-the-rotation starter. If Robberse can add strength, and subsequently velocity, he has a chance to crack a big-league rotation.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 45. Slider: 50. Changeup: 55. Control: 50.

NICE JANO!!!

Omar · July 22, 2023

Thanks Jano....my homerun pick tonight.

G-Snarls · July 22, 2023

It feels like Danny Jansen hits more than a normal % of his home runs to break ties/take leads

Wonder of that's actually true or just feels like it

True.

Likely something like Sem Robberse.

Sem Robberse is a real prospect having a pretty decent season as a 21 year old in AA. Hernandez is a rental OF posting a 102 OPS wRC+ with bad defense and a 31.6% K rate.

I doubt it.

Kikuchi cruising

Spanky99 · July 22, 2023

Koooooooooooch!!!

No shot lol.

They will get a couple lottery tickets at the most.

Jonn · July 22, 2023

Hopefully this rotation competition brings out the most of them. But I don't think they go to a 6-man. Unless Manoah looks good Sunday.

Sellers market, man. I guess you guys don't remember last years deadline, IDK.

vdartanian · July 22, 2023

If Manoah stinks it up on Sunday there is no way Ryu doesn't take his spot in the rotation. M-Dawg can go pitch to 12 yr olds in Dunedin for the rest of the year.
