Just man up and don't give him a double-digit win, please.

I would expect his career line (110 wRC+) or a bit better next year, with 20 HR in a full season. As I said yesterday, I really don't see much separation between him and Kyle Seager going forward, although Seager has much more name value.

BTS it looks like you may play a role in deciding the President's Trophy winner.

20-25 HR pop with a solid walk rate, nothing wrong with that as a 3B/OF. There's nothing in his K rate or BABIP to make me think a collapse is coming, although I wouldn't expect his ISO to remain to robust over the long term. He's not really a strong sell candidate at this point anyway, since there's very little hype for him at the moment.

They both seem like genuinely bad people. Give me the one who's been a fantasy monster consistently for years.

Is raper Kane going to prison? I'd rather have him by far.

Lol jaysblue, nice job setting your Trading Block this morning.

Anderson is healthy right now, and Anibal has had all sorts of shoulder/arm problems in the last few years.

I don't really see how Anibal is a big upgrade on Brett Anderson going forward.

Hell have it. Bautista had CF this year and Miggy had 3B.

If you earn it this year, you have it next year.

Isn't he also back on the DL? I wouldn't count on him playing again this year.

He's no Encarnacion

Congrats on your free Kyle Seager.

Derek Dietrich is breaking out.

Nah

Samardzija SSSSSSUUUUuuuuuUUUuuuuxxxxxxcks

Good trade.

Probably a lot of playoff teams don't have anybody they want to cut at this point to make room for your fine wares (speaking for myself). And/or they don't want to give up elite prospects for a ginger hobbit.

I wouldn't say Beltre is just a fringe keeper. He was ineffective for awhile after rushing back from a thumb injury, but he's been good lately.

Nah, he's a pure keeper for me.

McGowan is a diabetic, he could never stay healthy for any length of time.

The chart below shows the raw pitch value and Garcia’s MLB rank among the 140 pitchers with at least 80 innings pitched. The next two columns turn the value into a rate stat, per 100 pitches, and show Garcia’s rank among pitchers who throw each pitch at least 10% of the time (5% for the curve). http://cdn.fangraphs.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/FG_logo_transparency.png Jaime Garcia Pitch Values in 2015 [TABLE=class: sortable, width: 600] [TR=class: table-header, bgcolor: #505050] [TH=class: d3-td][/TH] [TH=class: d3-td]RAA[/TH] [TH=class: d3-td]Rank[/TH] [TH=class: d3-td]RAA/100 Pitches[/TH] [TH=class: d3-td]Rank[/TH] [/TR] [TR=class: table-rows] [TD=align: left]Four-Seam[/TD] [TD]7.0[/TD] [TD]20th[/TD] [TD]2.86[/TD] [TD]1st[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: table-rows, bgcolor: #c0c0c0] [TD=align: left]Two-Seam[/TD] [TD]7.4[/TD] [TD]11th[/TD] [TD]1.92[/TD] [TD]3rd[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: table-rows] [TD=align: left]Slider[/TD] [TD]3.5[/TD] [TD]27th[/TD] [TD]1.64[/TD] [TD]15th[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: table-rows, bgcolor: #c0c0c0] [TD=align: left]Change[/TD] [TD]3.6[/TD] [TD]25th[/TD] [TD]2.10[/TD] [TD]6th[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: table-rows] [TD=align: left]Curve[/TD] [TD]2.0[/TD] [TD]27th[/TD] [TD]2.48[/TD] [TD]6th[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Despite the innings gap with most of the pitchers, Garcia ranks in the top 20% for all five pitches. Turning the pitch into a rate stat, Garcia ranks first for the four-seam fastball, third for the two-seam fastball behind only Sonny Gray and Johnny Cueto, sixth for the curve and change and 15th for the slider. Of the 14 pitchers who rank ahead of Garcia on the slider, only Zack Greinke also has a good (greater than 1.0/100) four-seam fastball and only Sonny Gray and Dallas Keuchel also have a good two-seamer. None of the 14 pitchers are well above average with all three pitches. Adding in the good change and curve and it is easy to see how Garcia has gotten good results.

North streaming for his life! I love it.
