It won't happen but the league should give Vladdy a mil as well. He won this s***, not Alonso.
-
Alonso going to win this. Bull s***.
-
Rooting for Vlad to win officially since it will add a cool mil to his bank account, but he's won this thing regardless as far as # of total HR's hit and the show he put on.
-
Damn 91 home runs.
-
Build the league around Vladdy. Personality and hits the ball like a damn monster.

Cashman acquiring him is why I think giving Drury a chance is worth doing. Cashman knows how to find these undervalued gems and Drury had no place on their 40 man after Andujar panned out. With that said, I still would have taken the low minors lottery ticket. Or Drury + a low minors lottery ticket. I'd rather dream on a 19-20 year old's potential, even if the bust potential is high, than know what I'm getting with McKinney (nothing). As far as not being able to judge a trade because we don't know what the other offers were, wouldn't that then work both ways? The Smith for Pannone/Taylor trade (which I liked) can't be viewed positively using that logic because some other team might have been offering something better. We as fans can only judge trades at face value. The natural assumption is that Atkins (and any GM) is going to take the deal which they feel is the best they were offered. Doesn't make it good. Otherwise we can't judge any trades.

McKinney had lost all of the prospect luster he had (if any) and Drury was going to be arb eligible with a 0-1 war track record in the bigs. Trading Happ for Elvis Luciano (equivalent) straight up would have probably been a better deal. Now I’m sure Shatkins had some sort of metrics that said Drury was a breakout candidate, and maybe they will be proven right (I don’t expect him to go anywhere). I hope they are right. Still not a good trade though.
-
I'm basing this off nothing but once he moves off 3B, he will become a beast offensively. Watch. I mean, he'll probably be a beast anyway, but more beastly.
-
Having expectations that exceeded Drury and McKinney was not unreasonable. But yes, Giles/Stroman are much greater assets so the return should be better. Hopefully.
-
Normally he's in the 3rd inning when he reaches 89 pitches. Getting through six with that pitch count is amazing. Let him leave on a high note.
-
The issue is, the longer they wait to promote Bo, the less sense it makes to call him up. Like why have him up for Aug/Sept in a 100 loss season when waiting until April can add a year of control? They made the right call with Biggio, they called him up early enough where he'll get a fairly large MLB sample this year, but time is ticking with Bichette. Trade Galvis tomorrow. Speed it up.
-
Yeah we all knew this was possible if not inevitable (re: Kawhi). The options were either keep DeRozan, lose in the 2nd round, and contemplate blowing it up, or make the trade, win a title, and lose Kawhi after a year. I'll take the latter any day of the week. But I won't lie, I hope Kawhi doesn't win with the Clippers. I think he will, they are very deep, but I can be appreciative and salty at the same time.
-
Richard is the right guy for a tanking team. He sucks but can eat up 5-6 innings.
-
I hope they option him after this game.
-
Groshans if he stays healthy and on the path he’s started on might creep up the next year or so as well. The drafting/international signings under Shatkins have been excellent. Well, Warmoth aside, but I have faith that he will be traded for a vetrin someday.
-
Reminder not to trade for pitching prospects, unless they are the add ons.

LaCava was the (interim) GM when Hendriks was traded. So it was that weird period when Shapiro just took over but didn't pick his GM yet. I saw the logic in the deal to acquire Chavez. No one knew Sanchez was going to be so good, and no one should have expected that amount of good health to the rotation. In a normal year Chavez would have started 15 games as a swing man. That year was not normal. We stayed really, really healthy. Still a bad trade, but for a team with a one year window, I saw some logic behind it. -
Seriously, if Giles is healthy and dominating like this, then we should get a huge haul for him. Well, huge by today's standards (meaning a legit top 100 prospect and some intriguing lottery tickets). He's not only great now but has an extra year of control after this one. We need to get a great return here.
-
He’s actually been pretty careful using Giles all season. I wonder why he suddenly changed. Things were looking too positive. Montoyo around to add unnecessary stress with our best trade asset.
-
Man what a stupid reckless appearance here by Giles. It was a tie game (so no save opp) and Giles had pitched 2 days in a row, including in a blowout for some reason. Trade his ass this weekend before he gets hurt. 2018 is only a year ago. The scars of waiting too long to pull the trigger are still visible.
-
Isn’t this 3 days in a row for Giles?
-
Explaining fWAR to Tabler does not sound like a fun job.

He was off on Sunday. Now off Thursday. That’s excessive even for load management. Something is either not right or Montoyo thinks he’s managing Vlad Sr. -
All I want is for Atkins to sell high. Last year he traded a one legged JD with 4 weeks of control left, Osuna with a DV cloud over him, and Happ when he had a 7.41 ERA in his last 4 starts. That's why I am fine with Stro missing a start and the ASG if he has to. Better than coming back too soon and hurting his performance or himself further. Giles and Stroman are definitely the two biggest trade assets Atkins has ever dealt with. He has to do well here.
