    Houston/Washington isn’t the World Series baseball needed (Yankees/Dodgers would have been the best business series) but from a pure baseball standpoint it should be great. Cole, Verlander, Scherzer, Strasburg, Greinke, and Corbin in one series. Yanks are toast and are playing like it.
  2. glory
    Nah, baseball needs more of that. The Brian McCann's of the world are boring as hell and are thankfully going to be phased out eventually. More Correa's, Tim Anderson's, Soto's, etc, is a good thing.

    https://nypost.com/2019/10/16/mets-marcus-stroman-appears-to-love-watching-yankees-pitchers-fail/ Stroman still salty he wasn't traded to the Yanks.

    Julian Merryweather is alive in the AFL. 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
  5. glory
    Yeah he's locked up for another 12 years and $300 million. He'll be fine.

    The moment I saw your name as the most recent post, I knew I'd get this response. Either from you or Orgfiller.

    Lot of talk of a possible rainout tomorrow in the Yanks/Astros series. If that happens, then Greinke and Verlander can go in game 4 and 5 respectively on regular rest, the bullpen game would happen in game 6 (if nec) and game 7 would be Cole again. The Yanks might really regret blowing game 2.

    Wow, the Nats have a real shot at winning a title with their rotation. They’ll be rested too since the ALCS will likely go down to the wire, and this series doesn’t look like it will last much longer.
  9. glory
    Agreed, never been a fan of Tellez. The easy answer might be bringing Smoak back on a cheap one deal. You know he likes it in Toronto, he won't cost much, and he had a bad BABIP last season so he could be a bounce back candidate. Otherwise the team probably wants to spend most of its available money on pitching and an outfielder. Kinda wish they just pressed fast forward on moving Vlad to 1B. An upgrade at third with Vlad moving to first would make the team so much better than Vlad at third and trying to upgrade first, but looks like we are a couple of years away from that.
  10. glory
    I hope so but not sure how high the team is on Tellez. They might just plug him there. I’d look for a 1B upgrade personally.

    My guess is Hernandez is the DH next season and they acquire a CF from another team/free agency. I doubt he'd have much trade value right now and he was probably the 2nd best OF on the team last season behind Gurriel, so it's not like he's expendable. Put him at DH, cycle all the OF's (and Vlad) in the DH spot, use Fisher as the 4th OF, and that's probably the offence next season.

    Finally a real source reporting about this and it sounds like positive news (screw you, Jonah!). Interesting that Atkins has an additional year on his deal.
  13. glory
    Yup I'm rooting for the Nats now because they actually have four starters who they will use to actually start games in the playoffs. Even the Stros and Yankees are having a bullpen game in game 4 apparently. The Nats just throw out 4 SPs and are winning. No openers. The way it should be.
  14. glory
    8/280. I think that's what the Jays would have to offer to get him. Every team interested in him will offer 7 years and likely around $34-35m a year, so the Jays will have to go beyond somehow.
  15. glory
    Even the Baseball God's didn't want to see the Rays advance. Astros/Yankees in a 7 game series is what baseball needs. Should be great.
  16. glory
    They'd be forced to use them against at least 3 batters, and not use 3 pitchers to get 3 outs like they did 10 minutes ago, dumbass.
  17. glory
    When Manfred green lights the 3 batter minimum rule, the Rays are going to go into depression.

    2013: 62 wRC+, 0.4 WAR, 313 PA 2014: 83 wRC+, 0.1 WAR, 225 PA 2015: 96 wRC+, 2.0 WAR, 390 PA 2016: 64 wRC+, -0.2 WAR, 361 PA I mean, yeah Hicks had the nice season in 2015, but he was fairly bad outside of that. Drury had a 1.1 WAR and 92 wRC+ in 2017, and everything else has been s***. I'm not saying it's a perfect comparison, I was just responding to the notion that the Yankees wouldn't bring someone back coming off a terrible season. It's happened. Of course the Yankees could turn you or me into a good hitter, so I'd give them more of the benefit of the doubt with their judgment calls on players, but like I said Atkins likes Drury for some reason and we just have to live with him being tendered again. I would non tender him, but I'm not the GM.
  19. glory
    To be fair, the Yankees had 26 year old Aaron Hicks put up a 64 wRC+ and -0.2 WAR in 2016 and tendered him for $1.35m. He then exploded at age 27. I don't expect Drury to follow that path, but if a front office really likes a player, I could see them tendering him even coming off a horrible year. For reasons I can't quite understand the Jays think Drury is a good player even after Brian Cashman couldn't fix him, so he will probably end up getting 2020 to see if he's worth anything.
  20. glory
    Yeah, $2.5m in today's free agent market is a lot of money to play with. You can get a decent utility IF with that dough. Drury should not be a guaranteed tender, but he likely will be because the front office likes him (and traded for him).
  21. glory
    Wow. Woke up to see Twitter exploding about the Dodgers. I went to bed assuming they'd win. Roberts is still really bad. The Nats might be the team of destiny this post season.
  22. glory
    Acuna gets hit. Could see that coming based on the score.
  23. glory
    Wow just saw the score. What a disaster for the Braves. Losing is one thing, but like this? Thankfully for AA he inherited like a zillion top prospects so help is on the way.
  24. glory
    Another thing is the 40 man roster is loaded with young P's. Just in AAA/MLB, off the top of my head, there is Thornton, Shoemaker, Borucki, Zeuch, Kay, SRF, Pannone, Waguespack, Merryweather, Perez, Murphy, Diaz, Hatch (will be added). They'll add Pearson soon enough. If they sign a couple of starters from free agency, then that's way too many arms for the AAA/MLB rotation. Sure some of them will get hurt or suck, but some of them also profile as relievers, if they are not traded. I actually think it would be a smart idea to convert someone like SRF to the pen. Merryweather is apparently throwing 100 so he might be an option (assuming they can't find a place for him to start). We don't need an entire pen of trash bags in their 30's who we want to trade for something at the deadline.

    Agree with BTS, but I expect Drury to be brought back. Not sure about Law.
