  1. Does anyone want Paul George? I'm kind of sick of his s*** but he's an elite player and an easy keeper for anyone. Don't really know what I want so feel free to offer me anyone.
  2. Jansen seemingly spent last offseason turning himself into an elite defender, and we saw the dividends that paid off during the year. Now that he's working on improving upon his hitting (or at the very least getting back to his 2017-18 levels) he's going to be an absolute monster for us this upcoming season.
  3. Joe Panik isn't taking playing time away from anyone lmao. He's a minor league signing which means the team expects nothing out of him and somewhat improves our awful infield depth. Injuries exist and Biggio and Bichette aren't likely to both play 162 games, Joe Panik of all people isn't going to be the reason why one of them isn't playing.
  4. I'm glad this will take off the "Altuve is the greatest Astro" blasphemy that I saw some people around baseball social media spouting off and rightly go back to being the monster that was Jeff Bagwell.
  5. What Atkins said is good. SRF is only 24, he was good the season prior, and terrible in this one. Stretch him out, hope he rediscovers (or ideally improves) his 2018 control and is good depth in AAA. You can sign any random reliever that will provide as much value as SRF would give us next season, and if he's hopeless then like Atkins says you can easily make the transition to full-time reliever.
  6. Definitely an alternate set. It would be too early to do a whole redesign and people like the current uniforms.
  7. Injuries suck
  8. The Orioles are literally the AL East's dumpster. It's so great.
  9. Is there any functional difference between him getting his ~100-150 innings as a bulk guy as opposed to a regular starter? Like if we want Pearson to have an innings cap of 5 innings per start, shouldn't he be good enough to go in the first inning facing the top of a lineup? I don't mind the idea of an opener but for talented starters like himself I'd rather them begin the game and go for their predefined inning or pitch count limit if one exists. We expect him to be good enough to be a traditional starter going forward so why not put him into that role from the start.
  10. But they also have guys like Cionel Perez, Rogelio Armenteros, Tyler Ivey, Cristian Javier, Francis Martes who apparently still exists, Brandon Bielak, etc. All of them should at least be as good as Austin Pruitt. Is Cy Sneed really that much worse? Many of those guys can spot start, be converted to multi-inning relievers, be bulk guys paired with an opener, converted to traditional relievers, or just straight up traded for a better reliever than Pruitt.
  11. I don't really get where you're going with the second sentence but okay lol. It kinda just seems like you're describing essentially a replacement level reliever, which has very little value when most teams should have a couple of his ilk in the minors, especially the Astros who are loaded with superfluous non-elite pitching talent.
  12. Really? Mediocre K rate, non-elite walk rate, doesn't seemingly suppress homers or induce weak contact, has interesting spin rates on his curveball but nothing crazy on his fastball. He's also 30 already.
  13. The Astros traded two guys for Austin Pruitt whom the Rays probably would have given away for free and takes up a 40-man spot. Granted, I guess Stevenson and some random ninth rounder is basically for free. Really odd deal for them.
  14. The Astros had to ADD to Cal Stevenson to acquire Austin Pruitt who is awful, a ninth rounder from the most recent draft. Uh yeah I'd say he's very much filler.
  15. He's like an extreme Grichuk. Even higher bust potential but also immense ceiling if he can cut down the Ks to respectable or get the walks way up.
  16. C+ prospect is being very generous to Stevenson.
  17. From witnessing Brandon Drury play defense, I wouldn't quite bank on that lol. Some guys are just made for the infield.
  18. Thames is 33 and projects for half a win in 400 PAs, which is basically market value if not below market value for what the Nats will be paying him? I don't think anyone is expecting Shaw to bounce back to being a 3.5 win player, but if you assume that he didn't just forget how to play baseball then one would think that a 29 year old Shaw should regress to his career mean, which is a versatile infielder who is a decent or above hitter. Considering they're making the same money I'd much prefer Shaw over Thames. What are the dick bag comments? Saying this contract is a steal for the Nats is silly.
  19. I genuinely did not know that man's face. Figures it would be the Orioles' best player lmao.
  20. They might not have the rights from the teams/players to do that.
  21. Pathetic look for the Cubs.
  22. Lol @ steal, Jonn. Did you know that Shaw projects better both offensively and defensively than Thames? Oh and he's actually playable at more than one position.
  23. The Nationals definitely outbid themselves on this one, might honestly just be looking at ERA and vetrin presents combined with that WS closer thing. Although in his defense he was a lot better on the Nats than on the Blue Jays and was a a near extreme flyball guy and for those guys their xFIPs are usually inflated, not sure if fairly so. Good luck once that sub .250 BABIP regresses next season though.
  24. He messed me up too. Couldn't for the life of me figure out it was him.
  25. 25/60 on the relievers one, that one's impossible. All the white guys look the same.
