  1. Not going to read the useless article, but I'm guessing Biagini has a handful of blown saves (dumb stat) while Smith has none.
  2. In a blink Steve Pearce has leapfrogged Morales in hitting. Wow.
  3. Super. Ramirez has never really had a fair shake. I think it's pretty likely that he's an improvement over some of Toronto's current relievers.
  4. His plate coverage is insane. I don't think you can pitch him away - his arms are so f***ing long he can put the barrel on anything out there. To get it off the barrel you need to be 6 inches outside, and his plate discipline seems really good so he'll just take those all day. I'm not sure how teams have been trying to pitch him but I would think that up and in would be the hardest thing for him to hit.
  5. Yeah but what's Tomlin's ERA? Feel free to use the Richter scale.
  6. Steve Pearce is poised to breakout. Huge night yesterday and now he's got a mashable lefty on the mound. I believe in Steve
  7. The personal matter of course is the fact that he sucks
  8. I don't remember it being this bad before this year. I wanted to replace Brett Anderson earlier this week after his third straight stinker but I couldn't find an active SP that projected even remotely as well.
  9. Deal. Send me Gleyber and if I own Correa he's all yours.
  10. What a depressing blockbuster this turned out to be.
  11. He's basically working on his defensive development at this point. The hitting is just a sideshow. If they want to get his bat to the majors faster, it's ready for a challenge so they could abandon the 3B trial and shoot him up the ladder quicker. Similar to moving a guy like Bryce or Myers off of catcher.
  12. Might as well skip Dunedin and throw him into the Eastern League tbh
  13. vlad vlad vlad vlad
  14. That number for Harris is kind of bananas given his struggles. Greene is such an annoying prospect.
  15. Rios did not impress me much in the Futures Game last year. Touching 94/95 in relief means he probably throws 90-93 as a SP. Not a projectable body. Breaking ball seems MLB quality but he didn't show anything else (I don't think). A bit of deception with a jerky delivery, not unlike Osuna. He looked like a middle-relief prospect to me and his ratios this year support that.
  16. Francisco Rios is sitting on the fence. Some of the numbers are good so far, but 19 K's in 28.1 innings doesn't really seem indicative of MLB stuff.
  17. It will affect the market a lot. I don't think the draft pick attachment will significantly depress any free agent's value from now on. A first rounder is something like 8+, but perhaps a lot more for some teams and certainly for mid-round picks rather than picks at the end of the round. But the average WAR by draft pick is a hockey stick graph, right. So the drop off is sharp. A second rounder might be like, 2.5-4 million. A third might be 2.5 and under, something like that. By the fifth round the dollar value is negligible. And besides the money there is a different psychological impact. A team can give up their 3rd rounder and still have 2+ picks before that. It's way different than the idea of giving up your top draft pick, right?
  18. Remember there is a new CBA now:
  19. Hopefully that can extend Estrada again.
  20. Estrada yes, unless something unexpected happens. He's been a stud for 2+ years now. Liriano... maybe. He is getting paid $13M this year and it feels like a really good contract. Maybe need to judge the whole market and figure out his likelihood of accepting and what the team would even prefer.
  21. No strikeouts in five innings against the Barfs. That's indicative of something.

    Funny how Casey was talking about "matching Cleveland's energy in the first quarter" and then he didn't even play Powell until like 30 seconds left
  23. Yeahhhhh maybe, but Bryant's ISO was nearly twice that of Moncada, and his BB rate was almost 50% better (in AAA). And Bryant nuked AA while Moncada just did well. We'll see, as always.
