There is absolutely no way this front office should move Ken Giles unless they get an absolute haul. He’s been one of the best relievers in baseball.
-
Got a little too wordy there for ya champ? C’mon try to keep up buddy.
-
We’re looking at a Santiago Espinal type return at best for Sogard.
-
I apologize. I’m not used to answering such stupid questions semi-seriously. He’d have to keep it up for probably around 3 years and also not be 33 years old. So that is to say, not anything worthwhile.
-
lol we're not getting a decent prospect for him.
-
Why? Literally what ever Dodgers lefty does. Works for them.
-
Gurriel hits missiles man. 98.6 mph off the bat.
-
Rich Hill is on the DL with a flexor strain. Time to go get Dustin May and Gavin Lux for Stroman.
-
Was sitting 94 mph apparently.
-
Depends on the price. I would not go higher than 5 years $65M. Chances are Stroman is asking for more than that.
-
I really don't get this argument when it comes up over and over. Like yeah, of course the pitching is bad right now, but our future rotation doesn't have to be home grown top to bottom. In all likelihood, a good chunk of the rotation in our eventual playoff runs are probably not even in the organization right now. Astros fans in 2014 were probably thinking their eventual championship rotation was going to consist of Mark Appel, Joe Musgrove, Francis Martes, and Michael Feliz. Instead they got Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole.

Zach Logue last night: 7IP 5H 1ER 0BB 3K
-
Anthony Alford has been better since May 1st: .304/.389/.464 122 wRC+ 24% K% 10.8% BB%
-
Future center piece in a Marcus Stroman trade Logan Allen made his Padres debut last night: 7IP, 0R, 3H, 2BB, 5K

The fact that people use the 5 years argument to criticize the Grichuk extension is also completely asinine given that it also covered this season and his next arb season. It’s essentially a 3 year extension for $27M with how the deal is structured. We’re paying him more up front the first 2 seasons where we have nothing on the books and hoping he makes improvements that stick. What exactly is Grichuks contract hindering right now? Absolutely nothing. And even if he’s the exact same player, there absolutely is room for a 2 WAR corner OF on a championship team.

Great article on Cavan Biggio: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/what-we-can-learn-about-cavan-biggio-so-far/ Basically compares Biggios 3 week O-Swing% to previous samples and predicts how it would translate over the full season, and his findings are pretty incredible: Also, here's what's really gonna get people excited: There you have it. Cavan Biggio has Alex Bregman and Tommy Pham upside.
-
It's incredible how the Dodgers keep on pulling guys like these deep into the draft. Smith, Seager, Bellinger, Pederson, Verdugo were all guys plucked either in the backend of the 1st round, or later. What an incredible player development engine. Has to be the best imo.
-
Lourdes Gurriel might actually be good.
-
The Sonny Gray trade from the A's to the Yankees might be a good comp for Stroman. The A's got James Kaprielian (#87 prospect), Jorge Mateo (#85 prospect), and Dustin Fowler (unraked)
-
I could see Corbin Martin, Derek Fisher + another pieces for Stroman. Fisher actually has better minor league numbers than I thought. Career .858 OPS in the minors. He can take his walks and has good power.
-
Also, the Appy League gets going starting today. Some names to watch: Lazaro Estrada, Jol Concepcion, Addison Barger, Miguel Hiraldo, Leonardo Jimenez Of note, 2018 J2 signee Orelvis Martinez was not announced on the roster meaning he'll likely get the start in the GCL.
-
For those of you who remember, in 2016 we ended up trading a pitching prospect named Guadalupe Chavez to the Astros for Scott Feldman. He was a 18 year old rookie league RHP. For whatever reason, he stopped pitching after the 2016 season but he returned last night and pitched 5 scoreless innings for the Astros A-ball affiliate.
-
Derek Fisher + another good piece might be fair in a vacuum, but I would be left disappointed regardless if that's who we end up netting for Stroman.
-
Biggio is looking really good. Statcast numbers: 15.4% Barrel%. It's about the same as Brandon Lowe's. .369 xWOBA / .453 xWOBACON 92.5 mph avg EV (Ranked 16th in MLB min 30 batted ball events) 66th percentile sprint speed 48.7% Hard Hit rate (Ranked 33rd min 30 batted ball events)
