    I have absolutely no problem with this OF. Young, athletic, fast. Defensively, I really like them. Gurriel, Grichuk and Fisher are above average in the corners and I think Teo and Fisher can be average in CF. I think we get just enough offense out of them too. Sign Moose to play 3rd (until Groshans is ready), move Vladdy to 1st and our infield defense will be much improved.

    Jesus Christ. He's a baaaaddd man.

    What WAR would Teo put up if he gets up to the 107 wRC+ he posted last year, combined with this year's improved base running and defense?
  4. Brownie19
    It's not hard to see what the Jays like in SWR.

    In the Bison's stadium (err, maybe that's not in Buffalo)....is there glass or is it a netting behind home plate? I've never really seen a stadium without any wall behind the plate. Very odd.
  6. Brownie19
    On those angles, it looks like a slider....it has cut action, not fade, which is pretty unusual for a change up.
  7. Brownie19
    Can I ask why? He's 2 years older and never been as good as Wheeler's been the past 2 years. Or are you saying you prefer him because he'll come at a more reasonable cost/term?
  8. Brownie19
    Why not try and sign both? Wheeler's on his way to back-to-back 4 WAR seasons. A level Stroman's never reached. I mean honestly, if we are able to sign a Wheeler or a Gibson with the money we would have extended Stro with - that would be amazing.

    https://blogs.fangraphs.com/what-remains-of-clayton-kershaw/ I thought that was a really interesting read. I do love it when legends like Kershaw find a way to fend off father time and continue to dominant (even if it's in different ways).

    Edwin Jackson still throws 97. Life in the arm doesn't always matter.

    Dude - like 4 other people echo'd how idiotic your Garcia comment was. You've been at it for days now - spewing nonsense in all corners of this board. Opposing opinions based on logic and fact are awesome for this board. You should try that approach.
  12. Brownie19
    Sign Wheeler. 5 years $80M Would you rather have Wheeler, SWR + Kay....or Marcus Stroman?
  13. Brownie19
    Also just like Shoemaker you f***ing twat. More often than not - they won't work out, but every once in awhile you make an adjustment and it turns out well.
  14. Brownie19
    Or you could look at it and say if Godley is being DFA'd - it was a miracle Atkins got anything at all for Sanchez.
  15. Brownie19
    And by high end prospects you mean Seth Beer (100th overall), an injured Corbin Martin and JBB (who's now Arizona's version of Hector Perez)? The Indians return is more ML ready, but Reyes and Allen don't have upside our deal does. Reyes is the new Domingo Santana. a 110 wRC+ hitting DH, while Allen is essentially Kay. Give me the upside of SWR over Reyes every day of the week.
  16. Brownie19
    That's a great point.
  17. Brownie19
    Yeah but they signed Godley. He was as good as 2016 Sanchez....in 2017 (more recently), so now it's like we traded Biagini and Stevenson for Fisher while upgrading Sanchez to Godley. It's all about perspective man.
  18. Brownie19
    Who's return did you like better? The one for Bauer or the one for Grienke?
  19. Brownie19
    10 PA's - BENCH THAT GUY!
  20. Brownie19
    Pete Walker couldn't fix me a sandwich.
  21. Brownie19
    Speaking of the Astros. McCullers is registered as having a sinker and not a 4 seam fastball too. Based on pitch usage, Godley is essentially McCullers minus 5 MPH
  22. Brownie19
    Maybe we can trade for a new pitching coach too?
  23. Brownie19
    I mean if you're trying to cause chaos, at least quote his 2015 4 seam velocity (93.1 MPH) and compare it to 2019 (87 MPH) and call it a 6.1 MPH drop!
  24. Brownie19
    He's following in Big Papi's shoes.
  25. Brownie19
    Where are you getting that from? Fangraphs says: Under 'Pitch Info Pitch Velocity' Cutter - 90 MPH in 2017 to 88.6 MPH this year (thrown 14% of the time) Sinker - 91.9 MPH to 90.0 MPH (thrown 34.2% of the time) Curveball - 83.4 MPH to 81.8 MPH (thrown 45.5% of the time) Under 'Pitch Type' Fastball - 91.9 MPH to 89.9 MPH (89.9 MPH in 2018) - thrown 34% Cutter - 89.9 MPH to 88.5 MPH (88.9 MPH in 2018) - thrown 15% Curveball - 83.4 MPH to 81.8 MPH (81.5 MPH in 2019) - thrown 45% Based on that, we're looking at about 2 MPH drop from 2017, but little to no change from last year. Based on the pitch values - the effectiveness of his curve ball has really dropped off. But seriously guys...this guy was as good as '2016 Sanchez' in 2017 and was still a quality starter in 2018. It's too bad the media and some fans won't recognize this at all and praise Atkins for such a shrewd move.
