    Kikuchi is going to shove all year. He will be the team's 3rd best SP when it's all said and done. 3.5 fWAR.

    Well Collins is just to get the guy into a game early on. We don't really know if Collins would actually DH over Biggio throughout the season. I hope not. And Tapia is going to draw into the OF over Biggio of course. Biggio is squarely in a platoon with Espinal and I love to see it. Platoons are great.

    I think Alek Monoah's fastball variations give hitters fits. We often see: - A hard sinker running in on RHH. Sometimes they swing at this pitch even though it's like 8 inches inside. - A modern rising 4 seamer near the top of the zone. Often also kind of in on RHH. - A 4 seamer away from RHH that might even have a little cut to it. The statcast visuals after just one start display this pretty well. Top image is the 4 seamer and bottom is the sinker.

    This will be like the hunter biden laptop saga

    Yes, perfect reference. More please.

    I know the freedom brigade won't like this decision but I think Junior needs a timeout. User JuniorFelix54 has been banned until 04-14-2022 11:00 PM Just crossed the line there with profanity laden personal attacks.

    lol Bohm is flopping hard

    Raimel Tapia's arm is 2 Spirited Spirit 1: women's softball left fielder Spirit 2: KBO first baseman
  9. Laika
    So Espinal took the starting job in 4 games haha. Poor Biggio. More like Cavan Smallgio

    The saber nerds like Eno Sarris have been banging the drum for Kwan for a year

    Raimel Tapia's arm's pronouns are she/her
  12. Laika
    legit surprised and a bit sad to see Palacios DFA'd, hopefully he sticks around but he seems like the type of player Oakland would pick up
  13. Laika
    aaaaaaaand strained oblique

    He doesn't even have to do that. He's their 4th best SP (probably) - they just need him to be okay. An ERA between 4 and 4.5 would be acceptable as long as he's in most games and he stays mostly healthy. I would actually love a repeat of 2021 on the aggregate (but not the horrible August+September of course; just the end of season numbers).

    I don't think it is. Castro is fungible. Zimmer is a less fungible type of player. And short term could be a couple months; they could legitimately have a four man bench or Tapia, Zimmer, Collins, and Biggio.
  16. Laika
    Short term competition. If Zimmer looks good they could just trade Tapia for whatever

    Espinal already has THREE batted balls with higher EV than his max last season. Dude is going to hit a 112 mph 440 foot homer at some point Cavan Biggio is f***ed

    I made a mistake and put Josh Winder on debut waivers when he hasn't played yet. He made the team but has not pitched. My bad. He was on debut waivers and unclaimed. I did announce that he was on debut waivers I am going to say that he has debuted and cleared waivers as far as the rules are concerned so he can be added TCA wants him but has politely asked if he is fair game.

    Could trade Brandon Belt for a strong RP
  20. Laika
    yes they picked him in round 3 of the 2021 draft so he was a bit of a draft sleeper but reports popped up shortly after the draft that his stuff was good and his velocity was higher than many scouts realized it was a steal of a pick. i think his signing bonus was $644k and already he probably has more trade value than most players taken in round 2 who signed for over $1M

    I can't find anything on this now. Swear I heard it. Something like the scorer has more discretion to assign the W to the most effective pitcher, even if they weren't the pitcher of record traditionally before a lead change.
  22. Laika
    Didn't they change the wins rules? Scorers have more discretion?
  23. Laika
    No.
  24. Laika
    but why are you high on Jansen and Garcia? Just curious. I understand the former top prospect appeal of Gray and I know Hernandez is very much your type since you are K/BB addict .
  25. Laika
    I don't see it Adam. I think Gray is pretty bad
