    I think it would be really easy to make a Kirk/Valenzuela tandem work, at least in the first few weeks after Kirk returns. I think the club is going to carefully monitor Kirk's playing time in the beginning and for the first while they could run more of a 1A/1B tandem like back when Jansen was still around. I think Valenzuela has been showing glimpses of being an impact level of player given how elite the overall defensive package is behind the plate, and keeping Heineman in place of Valenzuela would be a massive downgrade to the club even with Kirk's return.

    I think it's some of both. Vlad's mechanics look off at the plate and he is swinging at pitches he shouldn't be right now but it looks pretty clear that he's dealing with an underlying issue as well that's affecting his swing.

    I think Vlad is dealing with a hand or wrist issue presently. In recent games his top hand is flying off of the bat on his follow through and I wouldn't be surprised if the chronic wrist issue is causing him grief presently.

    I'd guess it won't be much longer before he finds himself in AA.

    Neither of those guys would have helped the Blue Jays in the 2021-2025 seasons in which Berrios provided 8 wins above replacement. He was an important member of the rotation for most of his time as a Blue Jay and neither of Martin or SWR would have been very important parts of that window of contention.

    I don't think that's how the Santander situation really played out. Here's what Santander had to say regarding the injury. https://www.mlb.com/news/anthony-santander-talks-shoulder-injury-2026-timeline

    It's surprising how his season has unfolded as he's transitioned well enough to third base but hasn't been producing at all with the bat.

    Yeah I could see that argument for historical purposes. Wins are slowly becoming irrelevant in terms of hall of fame voting and will become less and less important over time so we shall see how the statistic eventually evolves to reflect the changing landscape.

    I'm at the point where I would completely eliminate the concept of pitcher wins as there's far too much that's completely out of the pitcher's control. Great pitchers on bad teams often don't accumulate many wins due to factors such as lack of run support/bad defense etc., and crappy pitchers on good teams can pile up wins by simply pitching 5 innings at a time despite pitching very poorly. Using a win as a barometer of literally anything other than a team victory is something that should be let out to pasture.

    Nice.

    I think it's imperative the Popkins and co. assist the existing players in unlocking some power. Too damn much of the lineup has been slumping at the same time for essentially the entire season and until this starts to reverse this team will continue to struggle consistently scoring runs.

    I think it's a combination of factors with Yariel. I don't believe he has starter level of command and his stuff was regressing very badly in the second half of last season in a shorter burst role and I suspect this would have been more severe if he were starting.

    I think this is a new candidate for the board's worst poster of all time award. I don't think S_B_C was nearly as toxic and was more of an ordinary level of bad poster.
  14. max silver
    I recall that the Angels hands were largely tied in terms of trading Ohtani due to the marketing agreements that they had in place.
  15. max silver
    Yeah I believe the 90 days stipulation is only applied in cases of injury, and if I recall correctly it can happen over the course of two full calendar seasons post draft.
  16. max silver
    I don't think this is correct. I believe that the player can be optioned in the following season after spending a minimum of 90 days on the active roster in the first season post draft. I've looked through the MLB.com site and it states the following: There is nothing on this page that suggests that it's possible to option rule 5 players in year 1. https://www.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/rule-5-draft Google AI states the following:

    Nance is another guy that doesn't deserve to be going anywhere. He had a single really tough outing against the Dodgers where he allowed 4 ER, which is half of the total that he's allowed for the entirety of the season. He's on a nice little run of success of 7-1/3 scoreless innings backed up by a 0.81 FIP over the same stretch. He's far from being a bullpen saviour but he's been doing a fine job in a lower leverage type of role and has been a key member of the pen in recent weeks.

    Sigh this is what I get for trying to engage with you in honest discussion. I should probably just add you back to my ignore list as you have zero social skills or ability to connect with others, are unable to engage in earnest discussion without creating fake arguments or exaggerating opposing views, are completely unaware of your basic failings to the point that you think you are winning arguments that should be embarrassing you etc. There have been some really awful posters on this board including one who revealed he was a diagnosed psychopath but never have I encountered as flawed a poster as you are repeatedly presenting yourself to be.
  19. max silver
    Perhaps someone like Mantiply could be optioned down to AAA although he's far from deserving of this as he's pitched quite well.
  20. max silver
    You are literally hopeless at discussing your opinions like a normal human being. It appears as though you need to work on your vocabulary on top of your social skills as you are lacking knowledge of some very basic terms. I didn't learn the term from AI, but I'll do some AI copy/pasta for you so that you can learn what a strawman argument is. Don't try to pretend that this isn't what you do as this perfectly encapsulates your posting style and is present in literally every single reply that you make towards others.
  21. max silver
    I see you haven't moved away from the exaggeration and strawman arguments. Literally nobody said that winning 2 of 3 games was unbelievable but it's outright dooming to suggest that's not a positive result.
  22. max silver
    That's just insufferable right? Why you've practically been tarred and feathered!
  23. max silver
    I shouldn't have to explain something so basic to you but you just used the figure of speech incorrectly. The team literally took two steps forward and one step back based on the Angels series wins and losses. I am going against my instincts and removed you from my ignore list for now to see if you are capable of rational discussion after getting some practice.
  24. max silver
    So the team wins 2 games out of 3, but it's one step forward two steps back. I don't think that math makes a lot of sense.
  25. max silver
    Aren't you just a ray of sunshine today.
