  1. As in, he was planning on being used as a relief arm before the deadline was under consideration. And the people we got during the deadline, earliest they can be here is Thursday.
  2. His fastball too; he's trying to paint the outside edge but they sail away.
  3. He was brought up before the deadline
  4. These outside pitches sailing away, I have never seen that before from Kikuchi
  5. He's getting his OPS up cause he is hitting a lot of doubles but ya the HRs went down.
  6. Dude its been way too long since a Vlad HR.
  7. Ya, fair. I just don't think we had the trade chips if we didn't put up Manoah. Kirk/Moreno are blocked by Ruiz and they wouldn't value them as much because of that, even if they are excellent pieces on their own.
  8. The only way we get a Soto trade done is with Manoah. Bo wouldn't have gotten it done, not based on the return they got from Padres and what the Dodgers were offering in 2nd place.
  9. What if he does come over and continues his 4 ERA, 20% HR/FB, 3 BB/9 clip? Money isn't the point here, its having the freedom to spend that money on valuable targets. It means we don't have 16M AAV to spend on other legit offseason targets. I'll just agree to disagree on the whole take 16M AAV on a closer who is trending down for the next 3 years, cause that makes no sense to me. Oh AND give up prospects on top lol
  10. He lost 1-2 mph on Velo, his GB% dropped and FB% increased (and he gives up a lot of HRs generally), and K/9 went down this year. Don't think it is smart to take on a 48M/3y contract on a 32y old - we have enough pitching contracts that are still ??? atm.
  11. WPA is probably the statistic to go for wrt pitchers and high leverage situations (closers typically have the highest # here). Bass is 21st for Relief pitching with 1.43 WPA, 1.4 WAR. People that have been traded above him? David Robertson to Phillies. That's it. There was no other relief pitcher available who performed better in high leverage situations available on the market than Bass and Robertson, and we got one of them (+ Clay Holmes Jr + PTNBL) for a non-pitching trending-down prospect.
  12. Rays twitter is asleep; so here's the lineup against Kikuchi:
  13. Iunno about ranking stuff. B+ prolly? Solid pickups but nothing defining. I liked it. If you break it down and equate values: Gave up Groshans to get Alex DeJesus Gave up Frasso/Brito to get Bass/Pop Gave up Castillo to get White Gave up Samad Taylor to get Whit Merrifield Looks like trading up to me in every sense - prospects for MLB-proven talent and the prospect : prospect is a wash
  14. His fastball has been getting better and better and its so f***ing baffling why they call multiple sliders in a row. Who the f*** is making that decision and why; any good hitter is going to sit on that slider at this point.
  15. Another meatball slider ffs
  16. He does that every time, every single appearance. Three sliders in a row to the first batter.
  17. And we are back to Romano and hanging sliders.
