    Yeah if we need him to start early in the year then he could do it. His WBC performance showed he could be that 3-5 inning guy. BUT -He will have an innings limit (100-120?) after pitching 55 innings in 2022 and not at all last year really -He's a young asset on a 4 year deal who we will want to protect, easier to do that if he opens in the minors -Him starting will be a bit of an experiment, also might be easier to break him in in Buffalo. Though ST will tell us how ready he is as well. -If he's good I'd rather have his innings later in the year rather than the beginning as I think Manoah, Francis or White can probably hold the fort down early on in the year.

    The Orioles just spent all of their FA money on a closer.

    It does have a certain level of FA sticker shock where we are paying for an extra year that I'd rather not BUT -Clemens had him as the #33 FA getting 3/30 -Hicks (seems like a decent comp actually) just got 4 years 44 mil -He's entering his age 27 season -Elite slider which should help him at least be a good reliever -He actually has a deep repertoire which could make him a viable backend SP. Going to have to hope that fastball is Justin Steele-esque and that his splitter develops to get lefties out.

    4/32 isn't bad. Clemens had him getting 3/30.

    Ok if Rosenthal says it's official then we can take it to the bank that Yariel is a Jay.
  7. Terminator
    As of now this is probably how I see the depth chart but things could change in a hurry. #5- Manoah LR- White AAA- Francis AAA and ready by midseason- Yariel and Tiedemann 40/45s who could debut this year- Chad Dallas, Macko, Van Eyk
  8. Terminator
    One would think that Yariel is going to have a big innings restriction this year. He was a reliever in 2022 and didn't pitch in 2023. If this is a 4 year deal the team is investing a lot into him and they need to manage the asset accordingly. Sounds like the plan is for him to start so I would start him off in Buffalo and let him build up from there. Perhaps 3 inning starts until he can eventually throw 5 or 6 innings. Target the 2nd half of the season for his MLB debut.

    Currently talking myself into Yariel Rodriguez as a backend starter with a 60-80 pitch limit. https://www.mlb.com/video/yariel-rodriguez-s-six-strikeouts
  10. Terminator
    I've seen everything from backend starter to high leverage reliever with Yariel so he might be the kind of starting depth we need while also being versatile enough to contribute in the pen until called upon.
  11. Terminator
    Lantigua is an org guy like Vinny Capra. Puts up some good OBP numbers in the minors and might be able to contribute while he has some options but overall they are flawed players that probably won’t contribute more than that.

    In his career Springer has a 105 wRC+ in 50 ABs as a DH or something. It's not that bad.
  13. Terminator
    I'm down for the Chapman side of the equation. Would probably go with Horwitz as the DH or something like that. Or maybe you just wait until February and a DH bat for 5 mil comes along.
  14. Terminator
    Max- sometimes you've got to have both the courage and testicular fortitude to trade talented players like *checks notes* Yimi Garcia and Cavan Biggio. I know they might seem untouchable but I promise you we could survive without them.
  15. Terminator
    Well a couple of things here. The "DH penalty" might be real but I'm not sure anyone knows for sure. Second, you are talking about Springer like it's certain that he can't DH when the guy only has 80 ABs in the role which is too small of a sample size.
  16. Terminator
    There does seem to be some sort of "DH penalty" with a lot of players. I assume that if Springer DH'd more often he would be better at it.
  17. Terminator
    He's fine as a utility bench player but he doesn't have enough bat to be the primary DH.
  18. Terminator
    Yimi Garcia and Richards trades would free up some money too. Biggio as well.
  19. Terminator
    If we signed Joc, one thing we could do is make a trade for a 2B and then move Schneider into the weak side platoon at DH while also getting him ABs at 3B/2B/LF. There's been talk about Turner being an option as a DH because he can play some 3B. But at this stage in their careers I doubt Schneider is any worse than Turner there. Getting Luis Arraez to play 2B would be fun.
  20. Terminator
    Only problem with that is that Biggio can't hit.
  21. Terminator
    This KingSarcasm stuff doesn't really mean anything other than the fact that nothing is imminent. I'm sure Atkins has already canvassed the trade market and is waiting for prices to drop just like he is for free agent bats. MLB's slow offseason is frustrating for fans but Atkins can't let that dictate the timing of his moves.
  22. Terminator
    Bizarre move but I almost like it from the team's side more than the players. The Giants have a good track record in squeezing extra juice out of mediocre vets. And he's really young for a FA so they get him from his age 27-30 seasons. From his perspective he's got a great home ballpark. But elite relievers get paid about as well as backend starting pitchers. So he really needs to become a mid rotation starter in order to hit a big payday that he wouldn't have gotten as an elite reliever. And now his injury risk is higher.
  23. Terminator
    Yeah there are too many options out there to overspend on a DH. Among those options are Horwitz who projects about as well as any of them. Ross will wait until February and they'll start to realize that the trucks aren't being backed up and we'll get a good one on a one year deal.
  24. Terminator
    Yeah his peripherals like K rate, BB rate, etc. never look great but when you look at his Statcast page you see that he is one of the best in the biz at limiting hard contact. That's a great signing for the Reds and I'm surprised he couldn't do better. He needs a better agent to sell his skills.

    Arb settlement numbers coming in for several Jays and they are all about a couple hundred thousand higher than MLBTradeRumors' estimates
