    If by terrible you mean under .500 then yeah very likely. I don't think we'll be bottom feeders again who are an embarrassment every other game like much of last season. Shapiro himself said he thinks we've added or will add around 10 wins at least by the time the offseason is finished, which is a lot more digestible than what we witnessed this past year.

    OG is so good. Gasol grabbing what appeared to be his hamstring and immediately pointing to the locker room is a very bad sign.
  3. Orgfiller
    Almost certainly. The only one that might be presently as good or better, and will project to be at least at the same level by next season is Pearson. Zeuch will be lucky if his peak is as good as the next season from Roark or Anderson, Kay is promising but also has a lot to show, and Merryweather is a complete wildcard despite having better stuff than most.

    His stuff is really gross, maybe he's been injured or something, but a fastball that averaged less than 92 mph as a RHP out of the bullpen is super gross and I don't think he's known for having elite secondaries either. It's a hard pass unless you can convince me there's more under the hood than there appears on the surface.

    He lost me at 79 degrees. Sorry I don't think my skin boiling and melting off is particularly pleasant.

    You can see the actual grip that he uses in the video I posted before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0Ky2WwnJn8 at the 7:20 mark. I guess it is a forkball but it's so similar to the splitter grip that it's very difficult to tell the difference.
  7. Orgfiller
    I think if we strike out on Ryu and Keuchel then any sort of rotation upgrade will come via trade.
  8. Orgfiller
    If the pitcher is Japenese and he throws some variation of the pitch there's like a 35% chance it's a forkball just because, even if there's no discernible difference in grip and movement.

    What is Writers Bloc and who said this?

    31 actually, they were born almost exactly a year apart.
  11. Orgfiller
    Because you've heavily scouted both of these players and concluded Kim was more appealing?
  12. Orgfiller
    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.
  14. 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.
  15. Orgfiller
    Good for Maile for getting himself a guaranteed deal.
  16. Orgfiller
    Yup, can confirm.
  17. 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.
  18. Orgfiller
    Surely there's a top prospect also involved in this.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  24. Orgfiller
    We traded Carlos Perez, Woj, Musgrove and probably some more for Happ and Brad something off the top of my head.
  25. 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.
