  1. I'd do it in a heartbeat, but I doubt they would.
  2. Melvin Upton could actually be a really nice fit.
  3. Cargo has pretty big home/road splits in his career, and we DO need to have a CF. Ignoring that, rotating as appropriate Bautista, Cargo, and Edwin between OF, 1B, and DH wouldn't be terrible, and Cargo's contract is up after next year I think. I kind of think keeping Smoak vs righties and Colabello vs lefties when he returns should produce decent results at a fraction of the cost.
  4. It would be worth the phone call to see. Really though, our best option (unless we were getting someone like Gray) would likely be to just keep Hutch in the rotation and roll with 6 guys. Dickey is almost 42. We want to limit the innings of Sanchez, which could approach 210 BEFORE any playoff games. Estrada has a bad back. Happ has never thrown more than 170 ish innings, and Stroman is coming off almost a full season off from injury. Giving the guys the extra day between starts seems pretty smart to me.
  5. His velocity hasn't changed. The biggest issue I can see is that he isn't throwing his off-speed stuff for strikes as much. Who knows if it's mechanical, injury related, or between the ears / catcher / pitching coach. I suspect teams are laying off those pitches more, and keying in on his fastball. His zone% on the curve has gone from 45.4, 42.5, 49.0, to 35.6. His zone% on the slider has gone from 48.6, 48.9, 33.9, to 22.5.
  6. Carrera has to just keep going there. Force the catcher to grab it cleanly and get the tag on you.
  7. That was one hell of an ugly swing.
  8. Apparently we've signed 13 guys, might still be one or two more in addition.
  9. I still remember that no hitter he threw against us, where in the 9th he was consistently hitting 101 (didn't do that for the entire game though).
  10. I don't know about anyone else, but the last thing I want is to see Sanchez pitching in additional unnecessary innings this year. He's already on pace for well over 200 innings. Giving him an extended rest over the break would make a ton of sense imo, as in skipping one of his starts on either side of it rather than adding to it. On the plus side, in spite of the innings he's only averaging 100 pitches per start.
  11. I don't think the Royals liked Stro yelling and yapping at their bench. Wouldn't be surprised to see someone get hit.
  12. I'm pretty sure 18 other managers read it the way it was intended. If I get a prospect similar to what was suggested for Davis (maybe with me throwing in something), I WILL move him. If I don't, I'm happy to hold onto him for next year (and as of right now should have the space to do so). Over the last 2 years, Harris has a 1.5 ERA, 2.99 FIP, 3.17 xFIP. Wade Davis has a 1.02 ERA, 2.41 FIP, 3.37 xFIP.
  13. The auction method seems to work really well in LOD, but I'm not sure it's as well suited to the other leagues unless you are talking about a true star player.
  14. Will Harris is also available (Astros closer). 0.74 ERA, 1.70 FIP, 2.88 xFIP. I'd be looking for a similar return to Wade Davis though if I decide to move him, maybe with me throwing in a pick or holds guy like Tazawa.
  15. Josh Edgin would be a nice pen arm target. The Mets pen is full, and he's controllable for a few years. He'd also give us another lefty.
  16. No no, public is awesome to watch!
  17. They have a flag on the sleeve.
  18. I really like Sanchez changing the batter's eye level. Not entirely certain how much of it is intentional, but it'll make that curve even more devastating.
  19. It's not as bad, and the shape of EE's head is better suited to it, but there really isn't a massive overall difference. EE wears it better (and doesn't suck).
  20. As much as people are picking on that hairline, it's not all THAT much different from EE's (just a little more rounded)
  21. It's kind of nice when it happens to someone other than us (especially if it's the Royals)
  22. This tag team approach to depress Cyborg's bid is rather amusing.
  23. Will Harris (0.76 era, 5.83 k/bb) is available for someone looking for saves, Tazawa for holds. Napoli (16 hr) also available, and I'll consider Moss (17 hr, 900 ops) if I get a deal I like.
  24. It would make a lot of sense to trade off some of our IFA cap space, since we're limited to 300k per player this year anyway. Probably wouldn't add up to Martes though.
