    I think you have to consider it with Wagner performing the way he is. They both seem to suck at 3B defense so whichever one is hitting should stay to share time with Clement.

    I am going to get absolutely tarred and feathered over this take BUT here it goes Nathan Lukes is looking pretty interesting: .342 xwOBA this season, dragged down by a .200 BABIP K% of 13.5% and BB% of 10.8% Steamer projects a 114 wRC+ to go with his career wRC+ of 110 so far His updated Steamer600 is 2.5 WAR but I think it underrates his defense a lot Zips (which likes his defense and his bat) projects him for 2 WAR ROS in just 79 games It's going to be interesting to see what they do when Varsho returns. Roden, Barger, Wagner and Lukes are all grouped so closely together. But I think you could make the case that Lukes should stick over those guys.

    The pen is well rested and we've got multiple off days coming up Hopefully Francis does his patented no-hitter through 5 but we pull him before its broken up with a homer

    Matt Chapman was another guy they let go. You know they loved his defense at 3B but he's a power hitter not a slap hitter so he wasn't a fit
  5. Terminator
    Maybe! If those bats were Ryan McMahon and Luis Robert we'd be a worse and more expensive team than simply running Clement and Roden out there.

    Giving him a day off to rest up for the hot steak that he's about to go on
  7. Terminator
    That said we slap hit and defend our way to a 3-1 victory tonight. Book it.
  8. Terminator
    Off the top of my head, our #3 and #5 through 9 hitters probably have a combined career total of about 12 home runs lmao

    Most of the struggling secondary players are at least contributing with their gloves and accumulating positive WAR. Gimenez, Kirk, Roden and Clement are all putting up positive WAR despite their bats being cold. I don't think a couple of no defense, 20+ homer types (aka the kind of Free Agent pickups that this board clamors for) would be providing much more value than they are. The one guy who is really sucking big time is Will Wagner. He's a negative on defense so needs to hit but he's not at all. His projections are so good I'd keep playing him but 3B is the most obvious spot to improve at the trade deadline right now.

    This division is not that good. Yanks project the best and they top out at 87 to 88 wins. They are an Aaron Judge injury away from a losing season. As for the homers, regression to the mean from nearly everyone should provide A LOT more and I don't think we need to lead the league in homers to get to 88ish wins. We are going to slap hit our way to the AL East title and everyone is going to learn to love it.
  12. Terminator
    That Bloss start was huge We really need him to turn the corner
  13. Terminator
    Yeah if we want to win the AL East these are the games we gotta win
  14. Terminator
    The gist of what you're saying is correct. Ideally we'd have studs at #3 and #4 and that would move Taters and Springer down. We'd also have more starting pitcher depth and another high leverage reliever or two. Even the optimistic take entering the year would admit that we were a team with a mid-80's win projection and had some holes. That's not good enough with a Top 5 payroll and not a ton of success previously. That said, this schedule has been a gauntlet so far. Look at teams like the Red Sox who are finishing up their SEVENTH game against the ChiSox so far. We only play the ChiSox 6 times all season. So to be 12-11 isn't a bad spot. Need to make sure to finish this road trip strong and then the schedule becomes pretty normal for a while. Starting the end of May through the ASB it becomes "easy". Still gotta win the games but it will help.
  15. Terminator
    Yeah I'm not counting Kenny Powers he was the guy we face before this run of aces But I agree we should have nailed him
  16. Terminator
    No need to panic guys. The offense will get it going. This is the run of starters we've faced the past six games. Schwellenbach Strider Woo Gilbert Castillo Brown We won't run into a gauntlet like that again until we easily make the playoffs. Most of those guys have been dominating everyone they face. That's not to say that the offense has been good enough so far. It hasn't, especially in the power department. But things have been going better than the Chicken Littles have been shrieking about. And it's hard to gauge when you face a run of starters like that. Starting tomorrow we see a drop in quality of the SPs we face so hopefully the runs follow.
  17. Terminator
    Yeah I'd like to see Barger play as much as possible because of his power. But Clement has better defense and perhaps with the short porch in left they think that Clement might be able to pull one into the seats. He can pull the ball in the air.
  18. Terminator
    Gausman hitting 98!
  19. Terminator
    Good lord Brown is dominating right now Pinpointing his spots with 98-99 velo on the fastball and 89 on the slider
  20. Terminator
    Brown looked really tough that first inning
  21. Terminator

    Good move. We've got an offday Thursday and Monday so we can just skip the 5th starter spot and still get all of the starters an extra day of rest so long as we use the 5th spot on Tuesday the 29th against the Red Sox. This would allow us to use Bassitt in the Yankee series instead of Schultz/bullpen day. And then we get an extra reliever for the week in Walker.

    Triston McKenzie was DFA'd by the Guardians. He looks cooked but still only 27. No options left makes him pretty unappealing because whatever issues he has would need to be worked out on the MLB level. But with Easton Lucas crashing to earth it would be worthwhile to look under the hood to see if there is anything we can fix (which I doubt).
  24. Terminator
    2-4 wouldn't be the end of the world so long as we don't get swept by the Yanks. 3-3 is a good, realistic goal though. Looks like we will be getting Carlos Carrasco for one of the Yankee games but they'll be facing Easton Lucas in the other. Hopefully we can split those and then it comes down to Gausman vs. Schmidt for the rubber match.
  25. Terminator
    Haha I wouldn't say he sucks I'm just preaching a little caution with regard to his crazy hot start.
