    RHP Jordan Romano (2.45 ERA, 3.23 FIP) RHP Yimi Garcia (2.67 ERA, 3.12 FIP) LHP Tim Mayza (2.61 ERA, 3.73 FIP) RHP Adam Cimber (2.95 ERA, 3.40 FIP) RHP David Phelps (2.45 ERA, 2.77 FIP) This seems to be our core group of late inning relievers. The need to upgrade on guys like Richards and Thornton is rather obvious, but it is less obvious with our late inning group. What do you guys see as the biggest issues with our current late inning relievers? Try not to say something nebulous like velocity. Who needs to be demoted to a mop up role and why? Where would your chosen relief acquisition slot into that group? Do we think there are internal answers like Pearson, Beasley, Banda, or Castillo?

    I don't know if I agree with that. We're still in a playoff spot even if we don't have Romano all season. Our top 5 options (Romano, Garcia, Mayza, Cimber, and Phelps) all have an ERA under 3 and peripherals that generally support those numbers. I'll never argue against another late inning addition, but these guys are quite good and haven't been a problem this season. The problem is the rest of the bullpen, the middle innings. Richards, Merryweather, Thornton, Romo, Borucki, Vasquez, Lawrence. They aren't getting the job done. Maybe you get a late inning guy and bump someone like Phelps down to this role, but a couple of depth additions would be huge for this team, even in the absence of a big ticket reliever.

    It's a bit of a silly argument. I would trade Gabriel Moreno for Brad Hand if it won us the World Series.

    Cimber has more WAR than both Fulmer and Soto. He's a very valuable 6th/7th inning guy.

    My mistake, I was just going by age. That's unfortunate.

    Any word on Kale Davis signing? It would be strange for a college senior not to.

    I don't think we need 3 relievers. If we get a good 8th inning guy then pitchers like Garcia, Mayza, and Cimber fall into more suitable roles.

    A very Rays move. He will be great in a platoon role and is quite cheap.

    200th of his career as well.

    They have missed the playoffs for 20 consecutive seasons and are perhaps the worst run organisation in the history of baseball. They are average at this very moment if that is the only criteria, but I was looking at a combination of both. Others appear to have looked at it differently.

    I want to say the Angels or the Mariners, but you could make a compelling case for the Rockies.
  13. Grant77
    Surprise surprise. The Rockies aren't planning to move their impending free agents.

    I don't agree. One major trade has been made and it was a significant overpay. There is plenty of time.
  17. Grant77
    I like Drew Smyly and Lou Trivino as cheaper options. Another reliever and a bench bat should also be on the table. There are a lot of areas to improve and we can afford to be patient and take what players come at a reasonable price.
  18. Grant77
    That's some kind of haul for the Reds and an ill advised move for the Mariners. I think they are going to need to add a couple of hitters if they want to make it out of the WC, let alone make any serious noise in the playoffs. They are a deeply flawed team.

    I blame apple for Manoah's struggles, because why not?

    Biggio doesn't get credit for how good he is defensively.
  21. Grant77
    Put the radio on and mute them if you have that option.
  22. Grant77
    The Tigers haven't had a single in this series.
  23. Grant77
    These commentators are horrendous. I finally synced up the Bens on radio with the stream, much better.

    I updated St. Louis and Benintendi on New York. I know Kansas City had some.
