And Boxy was saying that whoever acquires McCann will have a void in their lineup, not that SG has a void in his lineup.
-
I ended up dropping him after he blew up in his first 5-10 starts.
-
Moved Cishek to you. Need to know who KK is dropping for Dayton.

Marcus Stroman, Best Pitcher in Baseball?
BTS replied to Angrioter's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
lol, I'd forgotten about that one -
My trade block keeps shrinking: Victor Martinez (SP or top prospect) Howie Kendrick (SP) Derek Dietrich (MiLB or waiver pick) Tommy Pham (MiLB or waiver pick)
-
Siegrist to Dinger for his 3rd MiLB

Marcus Stroman, Best Pitcher in Baseball?
BTS replied to Angrioter's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I read almost nothing they do these days. The site is still the best place to go for stats, but the vast majority of their articles are poorly-researched trash. Their full-time writers are asked to put out like 8-10 articles a week, so they end up sorting the leaderboards, looking for something surprising, and taking 3-4 hours to pump out 1000 words on the topic. It's disappointing, because some of their writers could be very good at what they do (Jeff Sullivan, Eno Sarris, maybe August Fagerstrom). If each writer was responsible for, say, 1 long article a week I think it would almost all be interesting. -
Every reason to believe he'll settle in as a reliable ~3.5 ERA guy, which is absolutely fine. As long as his back stays healthy.
-
No. He's probably going to beat his FIP, but he's not going to beat it by two runs or whatever he was beating it by earlier. He's good, but not 3.0 ERA good.
-
It kind of feels like Scherzer will be throwing 200 innings long after Syndergaard's arm explodes.
-
Yeah. I've shifted my philosophy on pitchers towards targeting reliable guys with almost no regard for age, and then riding them until their arms explode. A Stroman or Sanchez isn't a more attractive asset than a Lester IMO.
-
Kevin Siegrist?
-
Correct. I first posted that I'd like to move him on August 11th. I got zero inquiries.
-
People put too much stock in pitcher's age. Expecting even a young horse to still be productive in 4-5 years is a big stretch, and it's not like EE is going to call it quits soon.
-
If someone offered me that in BORED I'd accept without thinking twice.
-
Please don't. I wanted Syndergaard so bad with the pick I used on Cole.
-
He's definitely a keeper. Playing time is the only real thing between him providing 30 homers and 75 RBI from the C position next year. That's huge in a league where legit contenders are starting guys like Nick Hundley and Yadi Molina.
-
Gerrit Cole... isn't very good.
-
Surprised you were the only team in on him. Just hit 20-HR, and that's after missing time and then starting very slow after coming back.
-
Looks like I got in on Triggs in both leagues 12 hours before his FG article.
-
Vizcaino got hurt, Johnson took the job and played well. Vizcaino is back and not pitching well, so Johnson keeps it. No chance Johnson retains the job into next year though IMO. Purely a save play for contenders this year. Also, he's been traded to njh: my 4 and 5 waiver picks for his two 3s.
-
Another save last night for Jim Johnson. He's not giving up the closer spot this season.
-
I would have been inclined to think that this would hurt defensive performance, but they might set the record for lowest team BABIP this year.
-
Man, my roster is a mess. Available: Victor Martinez (SP or top prospect) Howie Kendrick (SP) Jim Johnson (MiLB or waiver pick) Derek Dietrich (MiLB or waiver pick) Tommy Pham (MiLB or waiver pick) Kevin Siegrist (MiLB or waiver pick)
-
I'd also look at moving V-Mart for either a SP or a top-25 caliber prospect.
