    Honestly, I kinda like it for you. Brinson would be tough to give up, but the others all have significant risk of busting imo (at least in a fantasy sense). I'm not completely sold that Godley is really this good, but even if he settles in to an upper 3's ERA range, you probably don't regret the trade at all.
  2. Abomination
    I agree, but his comments suggest otherwise.
  3. Abomination
    I don't think they would do that, out of fear that it would bite them in the ass within the division. I don't think we would take on the ugly contract in addition to the health concerns.
  4. Abomination
    And that's why they've essentially wasted the amazing gift that was Trout.

    It's all SSS, but Goins has some really interesting career numbers. He's talked about a different approach with RISP. Career with no one on, he has a 50 wRC+, runners on 70, risp 82. Now look at his spray chart. Opposite field 118 wRC+, center 92, pull 52. Talk about him being better with RISP compared to other players may be a bit silly, but I think there's some foundation to suggest that he himself is a much better hitter with guys on. Now if we could just get him to stop trying to pull the ball at all

    I'd hardly say he's killing it. I would much rather see him in the outfield than Carrera though.
  7. Abomination
    You knew someone was gonna take Tebow in the draft.
  8. Abomination
    Gibby is awesome lol. That's a really nice job someone did of scrubbing that audio though.
  9. Abomination
    Ultimately he has to follow what management wants, and they seem to have made it pretty clear they don't plan on rebuilding. I'm not even sure he CAN give it much consideration, even though I'm sure he'd love to.
  10. Abomination
    Not at SS, at least not with the errors he's producing atm.

    Highly doubt Stroman would be traded, unless the package contained enough MLB ready talent to still be competitive next year as well. Maybe you do something like Stroman, Liriano, Bautista for Verdugo, Alvarez, something, and then pick up Verlander, dunno. We don't have the pitching depth to trade Stroman or Sanchez otherwise though. There isn't much on the market this offseason either, unless you feel really good about signing Otani. I wonder what the Dodgers would pay for Happ? He'd seem like a pretty good fit for them actually. Throw in Liriano too, who could move to the pen if necessary when Kershaw returns. Sonny Gray seems like an obvious possibility for the Dodgers, and Verdugo and Alvarez is probably about right.
  12. Abomination
    Yeah, but a ~24 year old reliever who has thrown like 5 innings above high A with some inconsistent command seems like a rather light return. He has gotten good results, but still. That's the type of return I'd expect for Liriano or Estrada right now.
  13. Abomination
    Drew Smith seems like a terrible return for Duda.
  14. Abomination
    Not for Liriano. I'd be all for grabbing him, but I doubt we could without drastically overpaying.
  15. Abomination
    I hate it when the home plate ump calls a check swing. That's a rule I'd like to see baseball change.
  16. Abomination
    Please no! All we'll hear about is him bashing advanced stats all game long.
  17. Abomination
    I'm really glad for instant replay. It's so much nicer to see no arguing, but players simply asking for it to be reviewed. I'll admit though, the throwing of bases, dirt kicking, undressing, etc was at times amusing.
  18. Abomination
    Yeah. He'd seem like a good type of player to gamble on, and has the upside to be a solid, every day player at the major league level.
  19. Abomination
    I don't think we're going to see a big center piece for him. Something like a Sparkman, Burns, Starling type guy is probably all we could really expect (with the Royals picking up the remaining money). I wouldn't mind trying to nab Dozier through, if we can find a way to do that. With his bad season at AAA, he's falling behind on the depth charts. He could be available.
  20. Abomination
    Butterfield probably sent more guys into obvious outs than Rivera does. I remember it happening frequently. Sometimes putting pressure on the defense to make the play isn't a terrible idea though, especially when outfielders have to move into more awkward throwing positions.
  21. Abomination
    He's just such a horrible fielder. Seems to ALWAYS throw to the wrong base, doesn't hit the cutoff man, etc (and this is his 7th year in the league). Those don't show up as errors, but they most certainly lead to runs for the opposition. His bat just doesn't make up for it, and even that has been below average prior to this year.
  22. Abomination
    The ump has been hearing it all game from both sides, and clearly has had enough. I don't think this was a little man thing. With that said, it didn't appear there was any reason to toss Stroman there, and definitely not Martin. I think he's just fed up with all the complaining in general. I wouldn't be surprised to see an Oakland player get tossed before the game is over either.
  23. Abomination
    I wouldn't got THAT far, but they basically gave up a run-of-the-mill reliever for a guy who could be a solid, everyday position player. Maybe he never does, but it's not like they lost anything of consequence.
  24. Abomination
    That was a wicked slider.
  25. Abomination
    He's apparently using some different grips to try to prevent the blister issue. While it worked last game, I'm not surprised that he could be up and down for a while until he gets a good feel for it.
