    Guerrero's contact and exit velocities will always be good because he has insane bat speed and hand eye coordination. Lately he's rolling over on balls because his timing is off in his lower half, I suspect due to fatigue. He's also committing early to compensate which leads to even more ground balls. Conditioning will ultimately determine Vlad's long term success or failure.

    I think the relationship between Donaldson and the front office had soured enough to take a QO off the table. The front office likes yes men and Donaldson is a pretty typical alpha male so it's not hard to imagine where the friction came from.

    At the same age Biggio put up like 4 wins in the majors before Kevin Smith has even made his MLB debut. So yeah, people need to chill out and stop tonguing Smith's balls.

    2B is absolutely easier than SS but Semien is a gold glove calibre SS who had all offseason and Spring Training to prepare for a new position. A-Rod was throwing balls into the parking lot when he first moved off of SS.

    Lol did you just take Grichuk's deal and add a year?

    Even more urgent than our 40 man, I'm pretty sure we can't game the active MLB roster in September anymore. According to wikipedia, we get 2 more slots. Those slots should go to some combination of Pearson (if his arm doesn't fall off), Biggio, and Jansen. Merryweather too if he's still alive. As much as we don't like Jansen, he needs to be up if he finishes rehab. Having a good glove backup C will free up Kirk to hit more than once a week. Every single one of these players is more valuable to us than Mallex Smith.

    Dude strikes out more and walks less than Grichuk. They gotta start calling that something (The Grichuk Ratio?).

    Let Jansen rehab until the rosters expand. Then DH Kirk every day that he's not catching. I understand playing McGuire for his glove, but grounding Kirk's bat to give Grichuk and Gurriel ABs is painful. In the meantime hopefully one of the extra outfielders learns how to hit.

    He should be eating less than when he was weightlifting though. Most MLB position players don't gain noticeable weight over the season. Diet is definitely the culprit here.

    Tim Johnson also put Chris Carpenter's arm through a shredder. Back before people cared about pitch counts, not ending the career of young pitchers was probably the manager's single most important job. To this day, I believe Carpenter could've had his best years in Toronto if they didn't make him try to throw a shutout every game. For that reason alone Buck should be ranked higher than old school 90s arm destroyers like Fregosi and Gaston.

    Gallo is absolutely one of the best OF in baseball this year. Gallo's profile is fascinating. He's historically bad at the single most important tool for a position player (making contact), but he's average to elite at every other aspect of baseball. I'm not optimistic about the long term outlook for someone with such an unstable profile, but for this year he's a game-changer in the short term.

    Ryu - hasn't pitched since Wed, max out his starts Ray - Regular rest Stripling - Break up the lefties Matz - See above Manoah - reduce innings load

    Milone or Zeuch getting starts for any extended period would be even more disgusting than our current bullpen. Maintain starting depth and keep switching out our garbage relievers via trade.

    We just acquired possibly our most reliable setup man for Joe Panik. Pretty scary all around.

    Trade Guerrero for blue chip prospects. Play Tellez every day until he breaks out and then trade him for prospects. Our competitive window will be open until 2050.

    Kauffman was built in the 60s when they were rolling out monstrosities like the Astrodome. With the renovations Kauffman has aged like fine wine. While we're making a list, all those ballparks they built for football (Metrodome, Kingdome, Pro Player Stadium) were absolute abominations.

    Players with vesting options complain about manipulation when they're benched--even when they're having terrible seasons. If you manipulate an elite closer with a vesting option you're gonna hear about it for YEARS.

    Didn't realize you were talking about Payamps and not Cimber. I was thinking Cimber who also has a bad xFIP. My bad.
  19. keggy
    I wouldn't necessarily trust xFIP for such an unconventional pitcher. He might induce different quality of contact.

    I couldn't watch any baseball for years when they traded Roy Halladay. Home grown hall of famer in his prime; signed multiple team friendly extensions instead of testing the FA market; full NTC per his request. After the WS glory years, a star wanting to spend his career in Toronto was really touching. Then Ricciardi says he's shopping Halladay and the entire tone of the relationship transforms overnight. He's gone not long after. I didn't start following regularly again until Anthopoulos traded for Donaldson.

    Horrible break for the d'Arnaud and the Braves. Thumb strength on the glove hand is more important for a catcher than any other position on the diamond. Pure speculation but he might be done for the season and could take even longer than that to get right.

    That's not really how to evaluate transactions, especially since the Gurriel package thing is a rumour that has never been substantively reported outside of this forum. And attributing Pearson's value to Morales because he took away the financial/roster flexibility to resign Edwin is kind of silly. Not hating on your post, Morales was just an absolute surplus black hole. The worst part of it wasn't even the money or the on-field performance. Three years of an MLB roster slot for a DH that can't hit just hemorrhages value from a pure roster management standpoint.

    Thomas was huge before, during, and after his playing career. He also fought for testing at the height of the steroid era.
  24. keggy
    In his first AB yesterday Springer grabbed his quad like he got shot. Management deserves whatever news is coming to them.
  25. keggy
    Morales' contract was definitely worse than Roark.
