  1. That seems like an awful deal for STL.
  2. Taylor Hearn + a PTBNL Hearn is good Very un-Pirates though to trade a guy like Hearn for a reliever... considering their position in the standings. I don't really get it.
  3. He was at 3.113 BEFORE 2018. So he's probably rolling over 4.000 this year regardless... only needs like 60 days of service time to do it and he should have it.
  4. Giles has 2 years of control after 2018. The + is probably not a very good prospect. But a sleeper prospect would be fun (like Josh Rojas). Oh f*** what about AJ REED!? Gimme that post-hype beast.
  5. Osuna ostensibly should be a PR nightmare in noise only. 98% of fans don't really give a s*** if someone on their team has a plea agreement to a domestic assault on their record - they'll still go to games and watch on TV. So just letting Osuna return to the team and ignoring the noise should be a rational decision. BUT I guess this is one of those asymmetrical population things where the intolerant minority over time ends up dictating what the whole "values". It's sad but probably true that it's inevitable that the whole will just find it easier to let the intolerant minority (the Sheryl Rings and Neptune Ramoses) dictate what the whole cares about (because the whole doesn't have strong feelings). https://medium.com/incerto/the-most-intolerant-wins-the-dictatorship-of-the-small-minority-3f1f83ce4e15
  6. TIL Subaru's brand was built by LGBTQ consumers. I always thought it was built by Crocodile Dundee but what do I know.
  7. My dream trade deadline: 1) Keep Osuna 2) Trade for Newcomb and Hader 3) Sign Hiemlich
  8. That's not good. Anybody that actually watched Tepera closely would probably like him less than his numbers would dictate. Blech.
  9. I guess I didn't think it all the way through. I also suppose that when you're scouting on the radio, Billy McKinney probably sounds black.
  10. Silvergun is asleep at the wheel this year. The window is open (for Boxy).
  11. I will never get over Grant's Justin Upton comp for Billy McKinney. I don't care how you try to explain it, it still makes no sense and is way too funny. Billy f***ing McKinney.
  12. I think I can milk another year out of this before I need to nuke my roster. Donaldson is the big blow so far this year. Absolutely nothing from him. My pitching strategy is obviously flawed too.
  13. Jo Adell... now THERE is someone with a Justin Upton type ceiling.
  14. This is why I prefer language like "95th percentile outcome" instead of ceiling. Talking in absolutes is dumb. Billy McKinney could hit .260 consistently with 30+HR per year in like... his 99.8th percentile outcome. His 95th percentile, or "reasonable ceiling", is probably something closer to Michael Brantley
  15. More likely than anything, Pompey got hurt when he took a walk in the first inning.
  16. Down in Buffalo - McKinney pinch hit for Pompey in the 2nd inning. Then in the 3rd, Gift replaced Urshela. Call ups to Toronto after soon-to-be-completed Granderson and Solarte deals?
  17. Jones has earned the right to make these decisions.
  18. Well so does Travis, evidently. He's not under a bus. He's going to play basically every day as soon as they move a body or two.
  19. It makes all the sense there is to have Gurriel playing every day. He has better tools than Travis across the board, and better tools than Diaz except for defense. And younger than both. Travis is still playing, he's just sharing time with Diaz. They really need to clear out Solarte and Granderson
  20. lol spicy comp grant is a troll I guess... probably was all along
  21. Who the f*** is going to want to trade for Jaime Garcia right now? The buyout for 2019 is just an additional encumbrance.
  22. Estrada can also teach everyone his changeup before he retires! Worth it!
