    So far yep. But need the Padres to step up

    It's kind of a weird situation, they either have 1-dimensional players who hit for some power sometimes and suck at everything else, or guys who have a good contact tool, almost no power, but play good to great D and run well.

    One thing i just looked up from the Straw trade, IF the Jays choose to decline the 2027 option and buy it out for 1.75million...... Cleveland is paying all of the buyout cost. They could choose to decline the option, make Cleveland pay the buyout and re-sign him for the difference... he still gets his 8 million but the Jays would only be paying 6.25. Naturally Straw would have to agree to this but... he seems to trule love Toronto and lets face it, his market in FA won't exactly be massive.

    If he can figure out the strike throwing part vs the walks... bring it on.

    Would love to see Skubal/Cease 1-2 punch, but it'll be damn expensive and risky. On the plus side, they have cost certainty already in Trey, Ponce and virtually their entire bullpen so the money is certainly there.

    McMahon was just IL'd for the Yankees. Thats good.
  7. John_Havok
    All of this is true, but rotation depth on minor league deals or guys with options would need to be the play. Cease, Soriano, Ponce. Yesavage and a signed starter #4 in your chart... only 1 can be optioned and that's Trey. Arrighetti is already depth in case Trey sux or someone gets hurt. Miles will be building up a starters workload in Buffalo most likely unless there's a lockout in which case he can't. Berrios, Bloss and Francis are all early to mid-season problems that will open the year on the 60 day IL, so theyre not really a factor yet. Truly I think the SP ship has sailed on Ricky T. Elite backend pen arm is now the ceiling which is still a great piece to have.
  8. John_Havok
    Daz and Sanchez would be the swap likely. Neither should be anywhere near a defensive position
  9. John_Havok
    yeah, i'm cool with that as a worst case. No such thing as a bad 1 year deal.
  10. John_Havok
    That was legitimately perfect . Calling the Miz "the Mike" is such a classic heel thing to do and Miz popping off in good nature is pure gold. The chanting at the end put me over the top
  11. John_Havok
    Just take 1 out of 3 here and im happy. Take 2 of 3 i'm extremely happy. Sweep? Tarps off, police horse, let's f***ing go!
  12. John_Havok
    all fair points. i just would rather get a pick if he signs elsewhere and don't really care if he signs for 1 year 23 as the worst case scenario of offering the QO. Absolutely youre right that he isn't worth it in a vacuum, he sucks enough that he shouldnt even sniff that kind of AAV
  13. John_Havok
    John Berti retired Santiago Espinal signed by the D'Backs to a minor league deal presumably to help handle depth in Marte's absence.
  14. John_Havok
    It was exactly that. Ball was so high it went over the ring and he lost it. Second ball he said he thought Giminez was going to get it ... so 2nd one is pure stupidity and lack of baseball IQ. 1st one ... that happens in that garbage stadium.
  15. John_Havok
    Short answer...yes. Until next week
  16. John_Havok
    Well, its innaccurate but that's not something that surprises me from an athlete. They say dumb sh*t all the time.
  17. John_Havok
    Nice, kid deserves to be up with the big club with numbers like that. Wonder if their bats will ever wake up because theyre not just asleep, theyre hibernating.
  18. John_Havok
    Possibly. Would be wacky to see 3 AL East teams as WC entries but... im here for it
  19. John_Havok
    I doubt it, injuries killed his career, not pressure.
  20. John_Havok
    I think he'll be qualified simply because its probably the last year teams will be able to do it. He will certainly want to test FA and try to squeeze every cent he can out of some team somewhere. Alot depends on how lengthy the lockout will be
  21. John_Havok
    Oh we've raked Gimenez over the coals in other threads enough. I think we've all.just become numb to the Gimenez situation and just take it for what it is; a situation that isnt going to change so at least bat him 9th where his crap bat won't hurt too much. That's creating the problem with Bateman and some other guys... there's really only room one of those guys (maybe 2) on any team and we have like 8 of them (slight exaggeration for effect). They can't all hit 9th.
  22. John_Havok
    That tracks with his savant page. Hes like Clement in that he can contact virtually everything but doesn't have that strike zone awareness, but Clement still has the ability to actually pull the ball in the air occasionally for power. Bateman is like... wait wait wait slash it the other way or up the middle. It's not the worst approach for a guy with his toolset, but its not the kind that plays very well everyday in the lineup even with elite defense and baserunning. If he learned to drop a few deadly bunts down the 3b line or drag bunt agianst lefties like Varsho that would help open up the IF to slash more singles through in the short term while they get to hit the weights room and try to add some muscle mass.
  23. John_Havok
    I was in that boat too. I figured 1 of 3 at the trop and 2 of 3 in Yankee Stadium was the best case scenario. Now, as long as they win 1 in the Bronx they still go 3-3 at worst. Nice spot to be in. But.... f*** the Yankees, take the series there too! Vlad comes back and hits 5 HRs now that he's had some sense knocked into his cement head and the screw that was loose has been tightened.
  24. John_Havok
    They just rebuilt it. Literally. Rebuilt a broken dump into a fixed dump.
  25. John_Havok
    I give him a bit of a pass on the Caminero fly early on as it appears to have gone OVER the ring up there (i was watching the Rays cast) and very easy to lose it and just never pick it up again. The next one though.... that's just inexcusable to have that bad of a read that you're going a different direction than the ball and it drops in front of you. Horrendous doesn't even begin to describe it.
