    Groshans was 3-4 with a double, HR and 6 RBI's last night. He's now hitting .380 / .439 / .593 9.8 BB% 15.4 K% 181 wRC+ in 123 PA's.

    Oh he might, but I would have thought the Pirates traded Cole because his years of control didn't align with the teams window. Maybe they think they miscalculated the window...might be as simple as that.
  3. Brownie19
    Do we understand why Pittsburgh traded away Cole (good SP'er with control in the peak of his career) this offseason, only to then go after Chris Archer (good SP'er with control in the peak of his career) at the deadline? Is it simply because they think they have a shot at the 2nd playoff spot? Or are they just moving assets around?

    Buck "that's the problem. His team gives him the lead and Cahill goes out and walks the leadoff man. The great pitchers like Bob Welch and Dave Stewart would come right after hitters. They would just throw their fastballs for the first 4 or 5 innings" Bob Welch - career BB/9: 3.01 Dave Stewart - career BB/9: 3.54 They clearly just went right after everyone. Buck - broadcast career: pure s***.

    There's a long list of players with deferred money. The Nats are paying the most.

    I scroll through 4 pages - just to find out he said jack s***. f*** sakes

    Looks like the packaged O'Day up as a salary dump, which ruined their return for Gausman.
  8. Brownie19
    Wat? you're disappointed in the return we got for Loup and Axford? What in the sweet heavens were you expected? From what I've read, both prospects we got back have a pulse and thus represent an excellent return.
  9. Brownie19
    Axford for Corey Copping
  10. Brownie19
    He's wearing #18 - which in Korean is pronounced 'f***'. His jersey now says Oh f***. +1 for creativity.

    why can't we get nice things like Tommy Pham?

    That quote is from some old fart fwiw.

    Giles's FIP is 2.28 and his xFIP is 3.26 this year. When exactly hasn't he been lights out? Like seriously - we're talking about an extremely small sample size in the playoffs last year (he was dominant in Aug/Sept/Oct last year even)

    Kindly spread your AIDs somewhere else sir. Jesus f***.
  15. Brownie19
    He's been about as good as Osuna for the past 4 years. How many years of control does he have left? 1 less than Osuna?
  16. Brownie19
    Ken Giles?
  17. Brownie19
    WOAH baby - here we go!

    She's f***ing AIDs to the site.

    Can someone tell me the last time a pro athlete when to jail for DV? I'm sure there have been some, but my perception is most of the athletes just carry on. Christ - we have Ray Rice on video beating the piss out of his finance and he didn't do jail time. I mean there's some uncertainty, but I suspect teams and their legal council already have a pretty good idea how the Osuna case is going to play out....thus decreasing the uncertainty.
  21. Brownie19
    This also isn't fantasy baseball where GM's swoop in with low ball offers. The legal matter brings uncertainty to the matter. I suspect no GM is going to try and trade for Osuna until they have a good handle on how the legal side of it is all going to play out. Once that issue is behind you, it's a baseball trade. Osuna racking up more saves in 2019 isn't going to increase his value - by all accounts it will actually decrease his value (less control + more mileage). The only angle I see where it increases his value is if there's some concern with respect to his mental stability through all of this.
  22. Brownie19
    Do we actually think MLB GM's are this f***ing stupid? As long as you're convinced he isn't going to be serving time in jail for this, I see no reason to change your evaluation of his value. I mean yes - the DV matter brings character issues into play, but do we think a year from now GM's will forget or discount those issues? I mean if he doesn't beat the f*** out of a woman for a full year - do those concerns elaborate to some degree? IMO, the only issue the DV creates is a shallower pool of teams to trade him to. Teams will either shy away from him, or want him. Time shouldn't change that opinion. The only reason he should come at a discount would be because 'most' MLB teams shy away from him. GM's know what Osuna can do. He's a proven commodity at the ML level. A year from now, he'll have less control and more mileage on his arm. By all accounts that should decrease his value.
  23. Brownie19
    It's all about maximizing the return. I think we clearly see now that players with control net you the best return. If a team gets hims for the playoff run + 2 more years - that's worth more than trading him at the deadline next year when he'll only have 1 playoff run + a year of control. If you want top prospects - you trade Stro. He's likely a FA by the time we are ready to compete for a playoff spot again anyways.
  24. Brownie19
    I hope he likes the sound of crickets...
  25. Brownie19
    I doubt it would be pennies on the dollar....Stro's xFIP (at 3.82) is only 10% higher than his career average (of 3.46). I mean his ERA sucks and his BB/9 are still a full walk above his career average - but he's clearly been better since his return and isn't far off his norm. I fully expect his end of year numbers to be inline with his career totals. Obviously you don't move him unless you're getting full value - but at this point, I don't think they'd have to sift through low ball offers like they may have earlier in the year.
