  1. Career ERA = 3.66 Career xFIP = 3.65
  2. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/11/orioles-interested-in-yovani-gallardo.html He'd fit right in with Ubaldo, Tillman, and Gonzalez.
  3. lmao @ Hoffman over Syndergaard
  4. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/a-baseballs-exit-velocity-is-five-parts-hitter-one-part-pitcher/ He might actually do a great job of manipulating contact.
  5. "I know I'm back as an established major league player. And I proved that last year." lol
  6. Yeah. I wouldn't be keen on 5/80 or whatever was discussed ITT, but Chen would really bolster the rotation.
  7. Speaking of Chen, August Fagerstrom wrote an article about him today: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/wei-yin-chen-and-the-art-of-changing-speeds/
  8. Has any team ever retained two into the regular season?
  9. Same. He's always been a favourite of mine.
  10. Fister looks finished. No reason to commit any money to him at all.
  11. I was going to ask when he hits the trade block in the LOD, but you don't even own him. I don't give you enough credit
  12. 93 last year, 88 in his career, projected by one system at 97. I think "below-average" was pretty fair.
  13. He's not even probably a 3-3.5 WAR player in 2016, let alone 2018.
  14. We're talking about Pillar as an asset entering his age-29 season. I'm not convinced 29-year old Pillar is going to be a +10 CF defender or baserunner.
  15. How many outfielders have maintained long-term success with below league average offense? Recently, I can think of Ellsbury and Bourn, who's legs went at 30. Pillar is a nice player, but he's 27 and it's hard to see him as a viable starter as he gets to 30+.
  16. I don't know what this means. I'm like the only person who doesn't really want to give Heyward $200+M. I feel like I'm pretty consistent in not wanting to rely on that skill set long-term. Re: Osuna, if he's moved to the rotation I'll consider him a building block, but I'm not convinced management thinks he can stay healthy as a starter.
  17. As a Mark Appel owner, I hope Boxy is able to look back at this and laugh one day.
  18. Two years younger and game not completely reliant on his legs. I like Pillar, but it's hard to see him maintain his effectiveness as he gets to 30+ years old. Not a lot of guys with his skill set are able to make it work long term.
  19. Relying on pen arms and below-average hitting outfielders multiple years into the future is pretty dubious. Health permitting, I think Travis is probably a building block going forward. Osuna and Pillar probably don't move the needle when management sets out a long-term plan.
  20. http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/is-a-j-pollock-a-top-pick/
  21. Established pieces under control for 2018: Donaldson (31) Martin (35) Tulowitzki (33) Travis Stroman Two of those guys are on deals that will likely be bad at the time, and one will be entering his last year of control. Maintaining a 90-win roster for the next 3-4 years isn't impossible, but it's going to be very difficult on a <150M payroll. Adding an 8/210 pitching contract to this seems like a very bad idea.
  22. The problem with Thames is that he's an atrocious defender. Like Colabello bad. I don't think he's ever really played 1B, so you're looking at gambling money on a DH.
  23. The issue is that this roster isn't really built to contend long term, and Toronto fans have shown that they won't come out to see a team that's 0.500 or worse. The absolute last thing they need two years from now is a re-tooling team that owes 150$M to a guy they can't move.
