Ryon Healy is the perfect Pat Tabler '90s player: .273 avrige, 25 HR, 78 ribbies... he's just a (run producer)/(baseball player)/(professional hitter)!
... nevermind the .304 OBP, 101 wRC+ at 1B, 0.3 WAR over a full season.
Craig Kimbrel, Andrew Miller, Wade Davis, Gio Gonzalez, and Felix Hernandez are on the block and available for prospects. I would also trade Robbie Cano if you can patch my long-term 2B outlook.
Wow, dude wasn't even fully recovered from TJS and now he's heading for TOS. Well, his career may be over, but he'll always have an MLB Rule nicknamed for him.
All hail Overlord Silvergun! Also, congrats to everyone on completing DDLs 5th full season. It's crazy to think how long this league has been around now; whole careers have risen and fallen in its lifespan.
On one level, I wanted Jon Lester back. On another level, I'm pretty happy to see him collapse. Silvergun is cruising to a threepeat but at least he won't have Devers and Torres to further his dynasty.
LOB% isn't completely luck, it's about how well you pitch out of the stretch, how well you control the running game, delivery time, etc. That's why they sent him down, IIRC.
I think Marco wants to stick with the organization that really gave him a chance to re-establish himself as a starter, and the fanbase that loves and supports him. He found support and success in Toronto that he had never experienced before and that probably means a lot to him. That and his ERA isn't very attractive this year, so he's probably getting about the same as he would on the open market anyway, maybe less a guaranteed year.
I think there's a pretty strong chance he may retire this off-season. I don't think his ego will allow him to sign a one-year deal as a part-time player, and currently he is a DH with a below league average bat, so I don't see much of a market developing.
No, they just updated it two days ago to remove the graduates. They do pre-season, mid-season, and now this. I don't think they moved anything around, other than pulling out the graduates and updating the back end. Could be wrong.
