    Ray tried to improve his control - which was pretty awful in 2018 and 2019. He tried to shorten his arm path ala Bieber and Giolitto. If he was successful, it probably would have made him one of baseball's elite pitchers. It didn't work and he scrapped it mid season.

    Highly doubt Rosenthal is coming to TO. He'll want the opportunity to close and I fully expect we promised that to Yates. Too bad though - he'd be awesome in our pen.

    It's really a 2 year $85M deal. Crushes the AAV record for a pitcher.

    The yips IS the mental block. f*** me. He took a fly ball off the face and was never the same. Also, can we please not compare this to playing Chris Colabello out of position in the OF? If you want to call him mentally weak and unable to handle the stress of playing in the ML's, then I guess, but I wouldn't.

    I don't see the value in Marwin - we already have lots of versatility.
  6. Brownie19
    I agree - we need to see 2nd half Panik for him to be worth a roster spot. I'd much rather have a specialist like a lefty masher or a speedster.
  7. Brownie19
    Jedd Gyorko it is!
  8. Brownie19
    Holy f*** - never mind.

    To be honest, we have so much beautiful flexibility that Marwin didn't interest me. If we want another bench infielder, give me a lefty masher like Jedd Gyorko or someone like Brad Miller - give me an impact bat that can play 3rd/1st, maybe some 2nd and DH if needed. What's Jed Lowrie up to these days? He was a beast in 2017 and 2018.

    I don't even understand what you're saying. Fisher had a mental block (or some anxiety issue) that made him unable to catch flyballs during games. Did you think someone who's played baseball his entire life suddenly couldn't catch a flyball?
  11. Brownie19
    Unless we add another OFer or someone like Marwin who can play all over - wouldn't we just have started the year with Grichuk as the 4th OF/DH (platoon with Tellez) and Fisher on the bench (optioning Davis to AAA)? Or do you think they'll just keep Grichuk as the only backup OFer, recognizing Biggio can play there too? Use the extra roster spot for more relievers? Regardless - for me - I would have DFA'd Wag's or the new guy they just signed when Shun was cut. I would have kept Fisher through Spring Training as protection against an injury to any of our top 4 OFers - while giving Fisher a chance to prove he's over the yips. That said, all of this probably doesn't matter. If we had a major injury in Spring Training, we can go sign Puig or one of the other solid OFers still looking for a job.

    I'm not sure if it's confirmed, but there's like a 98% chance he was dealing with a mental block. But let's make fun of him right? He has such loud tools and a LH outfielder was something this team could use. There's probably a 90% chance he never develops into a solid player, but his upside is much higher than most of our fringe roster guys.
  13. Brownie19
    I don't like dropping Fisher while keeping Wag's.
  14. Brownie19
    that his name isn't Trevor Rosenthal?
  15. Brownie19
    For me, Wag's is the most obvious one to let go from that list.
  16. Brownie19
    Red Sox are dealing Benintendi for Franchy Cordero and Winchowski? WTF? There must be more to this.
  17. Brownie19
    Mets missed out on Bauer, so Bryant and Hendriks to the Mets for Alvarez might have traction?
  18. Brownie19
    I actually could probably live with Porcello, Rosenthal and Panik
  19. Brownie19
    This is pretty cringe worthy man. If hitting the ball to all field effectively and bunting for base hits against the shift were even remotely easy to do - then the shift wouldn't exist.
  20. Brownie19
    That thought process is correct. The less damage Biggio can do, the more pitchers will challenge him.
  21. Brownie19
    MIN and CLE are better than the White Sox? Braves are a 4th place team? I mean that's all possible, but still interesting. Man - seeing those standings makes me miss baseball. Let's get Spring Training going!
  22. Brownie19
    This lines up well with our focus on solidifying our defense this offseason.
  23. Brownie19
    Good thing we kept Charlie. Charlie was just preparing his team for this shift in philosophy so they are ahead of the curve during their competitive window. 4D chess s*** from Shatkins and Charlie.

    While I have to agree that the end product wasn't good, AA did draft several players who were very highly regarded, but simply never turned out for whatever reason. Sanchez Norris Pompey Alford Hoffman Pentecost He also did draft Joe Musgrove Matt Boyd Kevin Pillar (not that he deserves a ton of credit here) Tellez Jansen Romano Borucki Sam Dyson Patrick Murphy OK - his drafting wasn't great, but he did use loopholes in the system to rebuild the system and he used that perceived value to land us players that helped us win (Price, Tulo, etc.). Perhaps you might say he needed all those extra picks because even a broken clock is right twice a day...What's interesting is that Tinnish has been a main stay throughout both regimes. AA also deserves credit for unloading V.Wells, landing Morrow, Lawrie (even if he didn't work out), Estrada, etc...and of course for signing Vlad.

    It's amazing that Evans and Godwin combined caught 3 balls and they still rolled over the Chiefs.
