    Its also coloured (in my case) by the fact that the guys who are supposed to hit the ball out of the park on a regular-ish basis (Vlad, Varsho, Santander) are all nothing burgers this year when it comes to the power output. Essentially makes it a slap hitting 3 hit minimum to score 1 run lineup which just doesn't work consistently. Scoring 4+ runs per game long term just doesnt happen without some HR output to carry the run production when babip whims go bad.

    Feels like this is probablt something Atkins has been working on and massaging for a while. No way something like this just comes together with 1 phone call on deadline day

    One thing we can say about this trade... nobody saw it coming from Atkins. Soriano being moved...sure. But to Toronto? After the Gausman trade? Wonder how the reaction would be if the Soriano trade came first... OMG we're buying??? STUPID ATKINS!!! OMG he traded Gausman AFTER getting Soriano? STUPID ATKINS!!!

    Micheletti is a good stopgap type of player that will probably hold down a bench spot. Org managers he's played for loved him for his attitude and ability to get more results than his tools suggest he should.

    Thats pretty much exactly what i said, just in different words. I felt Nimmala was being underrated by the scouting community but, hey, no point worrying about that now.
  6. John_Havok
    Its kinda the prototypical Atkins move, trade for a guy that can help in 2 future years before the need arises. Not saying it's a great move eitehr, im kinda luke-warm on it, but this is pretty much the pitching equivalent of the Varsho trade
  7. John_Havok
    Ah, so from the perspective that youre not as worried about trading a potential blue chip SS because you have a possible blue chip 3b still. Yeah, I guess.
  8. John_Havok
    Riiiiight, forgot about the new midget
  9. John_Havok
    JoJo is projected to be a 3b
  10. John_Havok
    No more SS of the future now since Parker is a 3b according to the industry experts. Nimmala now gonna rot in Anaheim...poor kid.
  11. John_Havok
    Not entirely. 2 teams make separate trades at the deadline quite regularly
  12. John_Havok
    Your math really sucks
  13. John_Havok
    Varsho isnt a 20 million AAV value if he can't hit for power. The defense will slide over the next 4 years given his injury history (most likely) and could fall into average territory sooner rather than later especially given the arm issues.
  14. John_Havok
    This makes sense since he throws like a quarter-chicken
  15. John_Havok
    Nailed it so far...
  16. John_Havok
    Would have been cool to see three weeks ago, and 6 weeks ago, and 12 weeks ago....
  17. John_Havok
    Baseball world must really love Parker's toolset if they rank him higher than a guy who will actually stick at SS defensively and is 2 levels higher while only 9 months older. Is Nimmala being underrated here?
  18. John_Havok
    Its not that simple. Those 3 prospects are probably better than anyone else would offer so the Tigers would be idiots not to accept.
  19. John_Havok
    I like this thought process unless the potential return on Hoffman is one that you just cant say no to. You then still have them at next years deadline if theyre in the same position as now, or you have a dynamic back of the pen that you actually want going into a playoff stretch. The chance of injury variable or random reliever variance variable is the same in either scenario so thats not really a concern
  20. John_Havok
    I get this weird feeling we are going to be very dissappointed in this trade deadline. The way the season has gone so far, not getting rid of the pending FAs for eve 1 or 2 useful bodies would the the diarrhea frosting on an already sh*t filled cake.
  21. John_Havok
    I think Fangraphs had him as a 55 FV, so yeah, not a nothing burger at all.
  22. John_Havok
    5, 7 and 17 in the Dodgers system on MLB.coms rankings
  23. John_Havok
    The scratch could come virtually anytime.
  24. John_Havok
    Definitely some risk with the swing and miss in Reyes' profile but the upside is clear. Agreed thats a nice return for Kremer even with 1 more season of control
  25. John_Havok
    I meant the real Jesus... Juan.
