meh Loup sucks now and his velo is way down. he just throws meatballs and gets hammered. u'd have to dink and dunk buehrle to death and if hes only facing 3 batters thats virtually impossible. blah no point in even arguing it since its a point anyways.
You honestly think he would be worse than Aaron Loup in that 2nd lefty role? All Buehrle would have to do is not throw meatballs and his whole career was been based on that principle.
and yeah i dont expect him to play either.
zero expectations when he was picked
negative expectations now
busted
seriously the kid is terrible. i wish i was wrong and i still cheer for him when he plays but thats not because hes good at basketball, its just fun.
1) kinda late but obviously Luis Rivera got a guy gunned out at home. it was a nice throw by Lawrie but its amazing how Rivera constantly puts his players in these spots.
2) did pat tabler seriously call thole's jersey a blouse?
3) bullpen *ugh*
4) RIP Gavin Floyds arm
yeah its a pretty fortunate trade for me when i look at it. just gotta capitalize when i can. i'm kinda surprised the way you guys view travis over castellanos though. kinda caught me off guard with that.
so i have a potential deal on the table in my 30 team dynasty league. i was checking in on kyle schwarber as a potential buy low given he is injured and the reply i got was i would have to give up a similar young cost controlled player (our contracts are kind of convoluted but we control the first 6 years of a players career for relatively cheap). this is the list of targets he asked for.
3B - Nick Castellanos (DET) = $0.75m [3]
RHP - Marcus Stroman (TOR) = $0.50m [3]
2B - Devon Travis (TOR) = $0.50m [2]
SS - Carlos Correa (HOU) = $0.50m [2]
RHP - Noah Syndergaard (NYM) = $0.50m [2]
SS - Corey Seager (LAD) = $0.30m [1]
obviously the bottom 3 are non-starters. i'd like to keep castellanos too and that leaves the blue jays. i am like to own as many jays as a i can and am a self professed fandom advocate so its not easy for me to move either of the young potential studs. i certainly will when push comes to shove here but i am curious which one do you guys think is more valuable? stroman or travis? which one should i keep and which one should i offer up for schwarber?
things is those 3 are gonna get a lot of $$$$$ for too long of a time at this rate. it would pain me greatly to see them leave but it would hurt even more to have them handcuffing our roster. and no i am not for outright tanking & rebuilding like some others but a lot of the time the smart thing is to save the money and take the comp pick. this is probably the apex for Saunders value anyways. i could live with 3 years but he would probably be looking for a 5 year deal.
