    31 actually, they were born almost exactly a year apart.
  2. Orgfiller
    Because you've heavily scouted both of these players and concluded Kim was more appealing?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0Ky2WwnJn8 In the first inning he's throwing a fastball from 88-91 in the few velocity readings I could gather, 77-82 with what appears to be a slider, and a splitter/forkbal in the low 80s. He also mixes in a slow curve in the low 70s, you can see one at 2:41 in the video. Edit: hits 93 mph on the fastball at 3:06

    His last year in the NPB was very good. 170 innings pitched, 188 strikeouts, 60 walks, 2.91 ERA.
  5. Orgfiller
    Meh, Miley is worse and a lot less reliable for innings and performance. I don't think this deal at all changes how we should feel about Roark.
  6. Orgfiller
    Good for Maile for getting himself a guaranteed deal.
  7. Orgfiller
    Yup, can confirm.
  8. Orgfiller
    Some guy just said that's not the whole deal. Obviously if that's all there is to it, it's a historically poor return.
  9. Orgfiller
    Surely there's a top prospect also involved in this.
  10. Orgfiller
    It doesn't really work like that. Jon Rauch was 6'11 and he topped out at 90. You can't just change something in your delivery so that you suddenly throw 98 with a hammer curve, there has to be some substance there in the first place. I don't see anything about Zeuch suggesting he might have TOR stuff.
  11. Orgfiller
    His best case scenario is he follows Deivi Garcia's 2019 to a tee, and that's capped at a few starts in AAA to end the year like I said. Jose Suarez is another guy that blew up in the minors in 2018 and he still only got as high as AAA despite belonging to an organization that has needed starting pitching for the last ten years. It's just not happening.
  12. Orgfiller
    I disagree. All Zoinks has going for him is he's tall lol. For a groundball specialist his control was pretty bad, his secondaries looked super average and the velocity may even be below average for a RHP. His best case scenario is a really really poor man's Derek Lowe and those guys don't even exist anymore. If everything clicks for him he's still probably nowhere near a front line starter. The best pitchers that we saw last season in terms of "they'd be great if they threw strikes consistently/had great command of their pitches" are Kay and SRF. The latter pretty much has to be a reliever at this point, and Kay still shows promise that he can control the walks and get a bunch of strikeouts.

    Hold your horses there partner, we'll be lucky if SWR sniffs AAA the upcoming season, let alone get a look in the bigs barring actual catastrophe. He's going to start the year out at Dunedin for at least a month or two and then ideally move to New Hampshire where he continues to dominate. Best case scenario for SWR is he's a force the entire season and gets a couple of starts in AAA to end the year.

    Also removing testing for marijuana for minor leaguers.
  15. Orgfiller
    We traded Carlos Perez, Woj, Musgrove and probably some more for Happ and Brad something off the top of my head.
  16. Orgfiller
    Imagine having contempt for acquiring a guy like Musgrove who was the f***ing headliner in the Gerrit Cole deal for Reese McGuire and his 73 wRC+ in AAA with 100 flukey MLB PAs.
  17. Orgfiller
    Also part of the despair of watching Dickey pitch was knowing that you gave up Syndergaard for the opportunity. That sour taste in your mouth would never go away and it still hasn't.
  18. Orgfiller
    Mark Buehrle was a f***ing treat to watch on the mound so you better wash your mouth son. It's amazing what one man could do with an 86 mph fastball and a wide assortment of junk. Poor man's Kyle Hendricks. Dickey with his f***ing trick pitch would have one or two good innings tops and then get absolutely lit the f*** up with walks to everyone, passed f***ing balls gallore to his pet Josh Thole who was like Billy Hamilton without the speed. Absolutely miserable experience.
  19. Orgfiller
    I imagined this was the case so I went soft on him.
  20. Orgfiller
    You're off on the details a bit. It's 10M for year 1 with a 10M club option for year 2 with a 2.5M buyout for a 12.5M guarantee.
  21. Orgfiller
    Not true, if no one wanted Roark then we wouldn't have "overpaid a little" for him lol, how does that make any sense? You think Roark would rather sign for like 1/8 than come to the Blue Jays? Sure maybe teams like the Angels and others who desperately need high-end pitching weren't heavily pursuing him but at least two teams with hopes of contending wanted him:
  22. Orgfiller
    I feel like they'd rather eat a bit of Upton's salary and trade him in return for a prospect (pitching most likely) than trade Adell for an ace, but we'll see.
  23. Orgfiller
    Jesus Christ no. I'd almost rather forfeit the DH every game than to witness Billy Hamilton pretend to be an MLB hitter. He's so f***ing bad.
  24. Orgfiller
    Probably not with Pujols still playing a bunch of games at first, but aside from 1B which no one even cares about an infield with Simmons, Rendon, and David Fletcher who can also back anyone up is up there. Hard to top Arenado and Story on the left side of the infield though.
  25. Orgfiller
    I watched him a bit with Oakland and I think BTS is being a bit unfair to his stuff but he's absolutely right that sometimes hitters just stop swinging at his secondary pitches and he looks like he doesn't know where he's standing and it's tough to watch. He also gets into a million 3 ball counts. He's a reliable average starter, with his ups and downs, but can be very frustrating to watch. Calling him a junkballer is unfair but he'll have stretches where every hitter is in a full count and no one is swinging at his pitches.
