    Arenado at FA money is a risky buy. His career away OPS (.793) is roughly .200 below his home. Depends if you think now that he’s out of Coors he’ll still be able to hit at both away and home. If he can hit out of Coors and is great this year or next year, he can opt out. If he can’t hit, you’re stuck with him. Would prefer Springer. Or the Rendon contract.
  2. The Cats Ass
    I’m in a rebuild, probably be at or near the bottom, my 2022 2nd will be high. I’d consider a different 2nd maybe.
  3. The Cats Ass
    Carrasco and Thor are both injured by that point in time. But him coming out of the pen would also be a nice scenario.
  4. The Cats Ass
    Chatwood is actually Kuhl's #1 comparable based on Velocity and Movement.
  5. The Cats Ass
    Can't wait until we light him up in the World Series. In both game 3 and game 7.
  6. The Cats Ass
    Was this when I acquired Darvish in a 5-way trade? Or dealt him in a 3-way?
  7. The Cats Ass
    Pearson and Ray are two of the biggest ifs. If the Bluejays can fix Ray and he returns to having a BB/9 rate of under 4 like earlier in his career it'd be a huge boost. Pearson needs to take the next step forward.
  8. The Cats Ass
    Which are you using? Depth Charts on Fangraphs has us 4th in MLB, 2nd in the AL.
  9. The Cats Ass
    Playoffs will be easy to make with the squad we have. From there anything can happen.
  10. The Cats Ass
    If we're competing this year we don't want to have a guy like Derrik Fisher being the one who needs to step in if an injury happens.
  11. The Cats Ass
    Grichuk is also a guy I'd be comfortable to have starting when injuries happen in the OF. No more having to rely on waiver quality injury fill-ins.
  12. The Cats Ass
    With all our cheap young guys it makes sense. What's our other option, trade Grichuk and pay half his salary? Then sign a worse OF for a bench guy? Smarter to just keep Grichuk.
  13. The Cats Ass
    Or we unfortunately see Vlad at 3B for this year and Rowdy at 1B. If he shows up actually in shape let him have this year there, Groshans or Martin should come soon.
  14. The Cats Ass
    Possibly none. We could see a setup like this most nights; Gurriel - Springer - Hernandez in the OF with Brantley at DH, Grichuk as the bench OFer.
  15. The Cats Ass
    Also played 2B. Maybe we see him get some work at 3B?
  16. The Cats Ass
    Brantley might be mostly in line for DH.
  17. The Cats Ass
    Why not use the 2 years leading up for FA? Hamilton - 4.0 and 4.9 Springer - 6.5 and 1.9 (covid; ~6.0 pace)
  18. The Cats Ass
    Something like this could probably work. Except I'm thinking the force recall should only come into effect after they've appeared in a certain number of NHL games. Instead of just any previous call-up/demotion. Something like after 60 games played this rule would come into effect. Or I'm also thinking something similar to the other baseball leagues where if they're on your minor league roster they can stay there for however long you want, that way there's no policing needed.
  19. The Cats Ass
    I think 2 for the short week is fine. But should be 3 moving forward.
  20. The Cats Ass
    I agree. We should have traded for Lindor and Carrasco. Also have signed DJL. Probably claim Hand. And maybe sign all three of Springer, Bauer, and Realmuto. Make ALL the moves. Edit: Is it too late to also get Snell?
  21. The Cats Ass
    I'm fine losing out on DJL. Springer is the guy we should be going for. They may be thinking one of Martin or Groshans will be up by end of season to play 3B.
  22. The Cats Ass
    Arrieta is bad and you should feel bad for even mentioning him. I'd take Wainwright though, but I'm not sure he'd take us; he probably has a short list of places he'd go if he were to leave the Cards and continue to play.
  23. The Cats Ass
    He put up a decent 2.5 WAR season in 2017 with pretty much the same stuff.
  24. The Cats Ass
    Walker was better than both of them last year and comes with a better pedigree. Could see Kay maybe taking a step forward though and passing Walker. Roark lost some velocity last year, I feel that would have to return for him to being a #4/5 pitcher, but he's 34 so it could be age related decline. I'd probably prefer Stripling over Roark/Kay and feel he should be above them on the depth chart. I'd also throw Borucki into that mix.
  25. The Cats Ass
    Sign Walker and one of Paxton or Tanaka. Ryu Tanaka or Paxton Pearson Walker Ray Works for me. Then we have quite a few depth guys (or Simeon Woods Richardson) to fill in for injuries or if Ray/Walker totally implode.
