    Great read! Sounds really analytical and innovative. Hopefully our 2020 pick starts with him in Vancouver.
  2. THANOS
    Do you know if Jimmy Nelson's stuff is still the same as his breakout 2017? If it is, I'd definitely take a stab at him. Seems like an excellent and, likely, low-risk/high-reward gamble to take.
  3. THANOS
    Don't think he fits the criteria you listed, but I'd sure love for us to trade for Jon Gray.
  4. THANOS
    This is the most likely scenario for sure, pending he produces at the same rate as 2019. That said, if he turns it up, and the peripherals all improve much more than expected, maybe he does make the leap in late 2020? Even so, the chances are very slim, for service time reasons, but I do think an outcome exists where it could happen. With Manoah though, I think it's nearly 0%. That's extremely interesting. It might be a change in revenue allocation. It never accurately attributed cable revenue in the past. Maybe it's now based on viewers?
  5. THANOS
    I could see it. Both look dominant so far. We could see the latter in 2020 possibly, but more likely in 2021.
  6. THANOS
    Agreed. And this is acceptable for 2 yrs at that AAV, with our flexibility. Just need some placeholders until guys like Pearson, Manoah and SWR push through anyway. Just hope we can get Ryu so we have an Ace type to set a bar for Pearson.

    BABIP and HR/9 were up, which led to that, but those could return to normal. His K/9 went up a lot which could be a skill improvement?
  8. THANOS
    Now I didn't watch him, but looking at his FG page, he doesn't look as awful as some are saying. Comparing him in frustration levels to Dickey for example lol. The dude had a 8.6 K/9 last season and a 2.78 BB/9. He's ok to roster for only 2 yrs.
  9. THANOS
    Porcello signed 1 yr with the Mets. Thankful we didn't sign him. Was worried with some of the rumors and BNS and Davidi constantly mentioning his name with Ryu, like we were equally interested in both...
  10. THANOS
    How in the hell did he junk ball his way to a 8.6 K/9? Pretty masterful to be able to do that with horrendous stuff lol. Must have great command?
  11. THANOS
    Atkins or Mad Dog lol?
  12. THANOS
    Do you know what time he's on?
  13. THANOS
    Throwing big money at FAs shouldn't ever be an annual thing. It should be entirely based on timing and flexibility. Those are two terms that many casuals either can't comprehend or refuse to take note of.
  14. THANOS
    Damn.. How much WAR does he need to produce to be worth that?
  15. THANOS
    Yep. I think you're reading it wrong Krylian.
  16. THANOS
    Interesting that you say that because apparently they have $100M of flexibility that they could spend this OS if they choose to.
  17. THANOS
    Great idea!! Love all of that. Would try and extend Gray immediately as well. Easier to extend a 3 WAR pitcher than a 5-6 WAR if he were to hit the rare high outcome of becoming another Cole.
  18. THANOS
    My preferred moves under that assumption is to sign Wheeler and trade for Jon Gray. Then we can hope Gray turns into something similar to Gerrit Cole away from Colorado and their dumb FO and awful pitching conditions.
  19. THANOS
    Nvm, even less. Could be only a 5M AAV diff https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2020-top-50-free-agents/
  20. THANOS
    As would I.
  21. THANOS
    Maybe an additional 10M AAV? Can't see it being ridiculous in this market.
  22. THANOS
    What about internal development? Thornton showed enough that and is young enough, that it would be reasonable to expect some improvement. Kay looks like he could be good. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of those guys give us cheap 1-2 wins. Is it worth paying Roark for that? Would rather spend a bit more for 3-4 WAR pitchers. Don't mind being locked into guys like that.
  23. THANOS
    Don't want Wacha or Roark. I feel like both may just be micro improvements over our internal options, especially Wacha. If we're going to spend on SPs, then I want to spend on a noticable improvement, like Cole or Stras (both unlikely), or Odorizzi, Wheeler (more likely).
  24. THANOS
    Stras is such a beast!
  25. THANOS
    Absolutely unbelievable.. Man, he'd likely take a better option elsewhere, but I'd gladly throw a 30-35AAV contract with term at him this OS.
