That's weird I wonder if they have to make an argument to the commissioner or something
-
this is weird so they don't save any money? they are just releasing him so he can find a starting role somewhere? at league minimum?
-
damn heard this on a podcast but Matt Chapman took JD Davis' job back in college too. Bumped him to 1B. this time he bumps him off the Giants...
-
Uh oh
-
That's not really good
-
Gerrit Cole... MRI on his elbow...
-
Sure but let's not pretend he's anything more than he is Which is something like... a closer prospect or very low probability 100 IP "starter" I don't even know how someone could rank him top 150 with his health track record. Kid will be nearly 27 when he pitches again and has had TJS, shoulder labrum surgery, and hip labrum surgery. He has never stayed healthy at any level of baseball. He threw 93 innings this year and it nearly killed him. Has anyone ever come back from that collection of surgeries? -

Green keeps getting blasted despite the stuff ratings being good Hmmmm -
They don't adjust rankings at this point in the year I'm sorry this happened to you He's like 10th at best in the Dodgers system now
-
Juliaaaaan Merrryyyyyyweatherrrrrr
-
Yeah they added the note Didn't adjust the rankings Go check the mlbtr article breaking his shoulder surgery news, Detective Danger
-
No they don't They ranked him 80th end of January and the shoulder surgery news came out Feb 3rd. They don't update rankings yet. Sorry to burst your bubble
-
Hey buddy After those rankings, Nikki Frasso had shoulder surgery and hip labrum surgery Yes, the soon to be 26 year old who has never thrown 100 innings and couldn't even stay healthy back in college is having more major surgery Shocking, I know.
-
Okay dawg
-
I expect you to post dumb s*** at me on purpose I just continue to not understand Carlos. Why does he thank everything that is anti Laika? It is just a freedom convoy alliance or something?
-
I think he can bang Having someone who can pinch hit for KK could be real nice. Also, can slide into 3B and provide a 100 wRC+ or better....
-
Yeah I was looking at movement data for comparables. It was a coinflip whether they were labeled FF or SI. Some positive comparables from good relievers. Strahm, Chapman, Alvarado, Gregory Soto. Couple bad comps from starters, Ryan Weathers and Matthew Liberatore, but their velo was a tick lower. I was just eyeballing for plus or better velo, IVB or like 14 to 16, and horizontal break or 12 or more
-
I think there's a chance. Most teams are set everywhere. Budgets are maxed. Davis has meh projections and some teams probably think he's a 1B/DH
-
I'd take him on the team at his cost. I feel like he fits the team so much better than Espinal... 3B coverage and some pop.
-
Jays SP depth suddenly not so suspect Francis - looks good White - looks better Tiedemann - is alive Parsons - may be a bit more than a AAA journeyman? Further down, a couple prospects have had positive showings. Rave reviews for Kendrys Rojas. Ryan Jennings bag of pitches looks sick. Chad Dallas showed an MLB breaking ball at least.

Ah so Espinal's salary is guaranteed. Espinal and Toronto avoided arbitration. Not that it really matters anymore. Releasing him to save $2.5M was only a hypothetical thing after a Chapman signing -
Yeah it's GOOD, it just might be a vulnerability in specific places against righties as the horizontal movement is not as helpful. He should be complete death to LHB though
-
I'm a bit weirded out with Tiedeman's fastball shape. 14.7 IVB with -13 horizontal break. It's got two seamer run but average four seamer rise. Is that good or bad? Is that weird? Feels like something RHB will smash in certain locations Kinda hoping his release point was off today and it his slightly different movement normally
-
He can probably be a setup man on this profile But, walks maybe an issue.
-
Interesting Need to check out the FB shape and compare it to some other good lefties
