Yeah, that's when BTS and his followers started complaining about the Pillar trade again.

Time to move on people. Trade was meh. Oh well. May be many reasons for that, including Stro's attitude and likelihood he will be testing free agency. Little more than a year of #2/3 starter Stro and he gone is not worth the prospect value we may have thought.

I'm waiting on a response from someone that actually resembles TRM, you impatient dirtbag.

I feel your pain.

Mainly, 31 IP. Practically meaningless sample.

That would be a very dumb move.

Nah, he was nails in AA earlier this season. It's 31 IP in AAA, his HR/FB went from 2.6% in AA to 14.6% in AAA. Could be just some statistical noise along with the juiced AAA ball.

Looking ahead, there are now three pitchers with true potential to be long term starters that should be ready to debut next year - Pearson, Kay, Murphy. Murphy has a 3.16 FIP in AA for 17 starts, and 9.44 K/9.

Well then, welcome to BJMB. We sometimes get other team's fans in here after trades. Hope you post more.

Thought there could be more for Stro, but it's entirely possible other teams do not value a bit more than a year of a mid rotation starter like Stro the way we do.

Hello Mets fan.

Mets are 6 games out of WC. It's f***ing possible the idiot GM is going for it.

My feelings exactly

Would not surprise me if the Mets flip Stroman to the Yanks now.

Don't love the trade, don't hate it. Don't know why they could not wait longer before pulling the trigger. A non-contender offered the best package??

SSS There is often an adjustment period moving up levels. Kay is likely a back end or AAAA type

Ranked New York Mets #5 prospect after the 2018 season Track Record: The 31st overall pick in 2016, Kay had Tommy John surgery after signing and missed the entirety of his first two pro seasons. He made up for lost time in 2018 by pitching at two Class A levels, striking out a batter per inning as he regained feel he lost after his layoff. Scouting Report: Kay returned to the hill in 2018 as a different pitcher than he was in college. More a fastball/changeup lefty at Connecticut, he emerged in pro ball with a vicious, top-to-bottom 80 mph curveball that he locates to both sides of the plate. His peak curveball approached 3,000 revolutions per minute, while his average spin rate ranked inside the top 10 percent in the minors. Kay tops out at 96 mph and sits 92-94 with an above-average, high-spin fastball that plays at the top of the zone in conjunction with his curve and mid-80s changeup at the bottom of the zone. His change flashes above-average potential and sinking action. Kay pitches with a bulldog demeanor and wants to strike out opponents. The Future: Kay has mid-rotation potential if he can refine his curveball into a swing-and-miss pitch and improve his overall command. He will be ready for Double-A at some point in 2019 with a possible big league ETA of 2020.

Kay is top 100 on some lists including BA edit - he was on the BA top 100 (#80), dropped off as of most recent update

Gotta look for the Rule 5 eligible prospects, Rays have a significant crunch coming Lucius Fox, Garrett Whitley two such players

would think so, eh

f***, that's a tie. Field call will stand.

True, but was responding to a post inviting speculation. It's been the case in the past that PTBNL is to give a team more time to decide between players.

Both Banda and DeLeon are on IL, and on rehab assignments

Jays need more time to decide on the prospects made available?

Sogard was a scratch yesterday, brah
