    This dude may have top of the rotation stuff. Just because he was acquired essentially for free this doesn't erase his potential future value such that the team should ruin him.

    I believe Sanchez could give him a run for his money. It appears as though Pinango is a lot more comfortable in right field vs being horrible in left, and it's the reverse for Sanchez as he's been a lot better in left field with right field being disaster level.

    Wow color me surprised a certain somebody is doing his typical surface level evaluation. Lauer has produced a 4.41 xERA/5.22 FIP/4.97 xFIP/0.0 FWAR to go along with a .165 BABIP and 95% strand rate. The ERA is nice but it's far from earned, and Lauer has been enjoying incredibly good fortune on batted balls in play and he's a prime candidate for regression in time.

    Terminator is capable of actual humor and unlike your posts it's easy to tell when he's being serious and when he's joking. Nearly every post you make ends in a pointless LOL whether it's supposed to be a serious post or not.

    It's astounding how you continuously display your total lack of basic baseball acumen on a daily basis. I'm not policing anything, you have the right to make a continuous stream of brain dead posts and I have the right to call you out for them. If you don't want to be called out for your dumb posts then the incredibly easy solution is to stop making dumb posts.

    Jays24 directly stated that the Blue Jays front office was stupid for DFA'ing SWR instead of Hoffman so give me a break. In fact two posters directly stated that Hoffman survived being DFA'd over SWR. This is yet another disingenuous post on your part in an act of white knighting for morons.
  7. max silver
    Stop trying to make this a racial thing. SWR has horrible stuff, equally poor command, has been one of MLB's least successful pitchers this season and was received for free as a scrap heap pickup. This is a below average arm who offers little upside in any capacity and that's it.
  8. max silver
    Have you learned literally nothing in your time posting on this board? The front office people who decided to DFA SWR vs Hoffman possess dramatically more in depth baseball knowledge than you have any prayer of as you are completely incapable of looking past results and have proven repeatedly you have zero understanding of what goes on underneath the hood towards successful pitching. Pitcher A 6.40 ERA/5.85 xERA/5.83 FIP .314 BABIP 4.84 K/9 4.99 BB/9 0.97 K/BB 87 Stuff+ 93 Location+ 85 Pitching+ Pitcher B 4.84 ERA/3.09 xERA/2.88 FIP .427 BABIP 14.52 K/9 3.57 BB/9 4.07 K/BB 108 Stuff+ 100 Location+ 108 Pitching+ There isn't a single club in MLB that would choose Pitcher A over Pitcher B. Pitcher B has elite underlying numbers and is seeing his results steadily improve towards the mean as his BABIP has been normalizing from a historically unlucky start to the season. Pitcher A has seen his stuff and command regress dramatically this season and these have actually gotten worse since joining the Blue Jays.

    Probably not but he's a tough positional fit. One of Vlad/Springer/Okamoto likely needs to sit to insert him into the lineup and we shall see if the club is ready to make this type of move.
  10. max silver
    Hopefully the team can find a way for Keys to receive regular playing time.
  11. max silver
    Hoffman His stuff metrics are actually worse than his stint with the Twins and the underlying metrics are downright awful. His success was entirely luck driven and it was just a matter of time before the wheels fell off completely.
  12. max silver
    Sure Atkins has a history of trading high end minor league bats for random relief pitchers.
  13. max silver
    Yeah the overall stuff ratings look pretty positive. The location grades on the breaking pitches in particular were abysmal and he'll need to iron that out if he's going to be more than a Scherzer clone.
  14. max silver
    I'm surprised the TJStats Stuff+ ratings were so high. Bieber's velocity, spin rates and extension were all down on the 4 seamer compared to last season, but iVB was improved which must be the primary contributing factor to the improved stuff rating.
  15. max silver
    Where are you able to find stuff+ ratings this early in the day after a start? Fangraphs Stuff+ doesn't typically update until later in the day.
  16. max silver
    It's hard to fathom how bad he is defensively in right field. He's sitting at -9% success rate added by Statcast right now. He seems to be more comfortable in left field but the team will have some tough decisions to make when the likes of Barger and potentially Santander are ready to return. There will be too many lumbering bat only players on the roster and not enough spots to go around.
  17. max silver
    Yeah I had serious shades of world series game 7, with the wasted opportunities to tack on runs, blown save, relief bomb in extra innings, glorious opportunity to walk off the game etc.

    He's been extremely hot and cold throughout the season. He started the first few games on fire as he started his roller coaster season of ups and downs. Hopefully he eventually finds a way to reduce the length of the cold streaks as he's a massive difference maker at the plate when he's locked in. March 27-30 220 wRC+ March 31-April 17 5 wRC+ April 18-May 8 199 wRC+ May 9-May 25 2 wRC+ May 26-June 22 161 wRC+
  21. max silver
    Well the good news is that Cease is averaging nearly 6 innings per start this year so there's a very good chance you'll get to see more than 5.
  22. max silver
    I think it's nothing more than the club wanting a non Schneider middle infield option with a bit more defensive utility.
  23. max silver
    Maybe but the team will need to play 17 days in a row because of the extra game.
  24. max silver
    This was still a bit of an unlucky outing for Hoffman as he had to produce 4 outs due to the fielding error.
  25. max silver
    I haven't seen any stuff reports as of yet but I'm happy he even managed to successfully complete two innings so far.
