    Logan Warmoth has quietly got himself up to a 131 wRC+ now in High-A 25 games .276/.343/.429 3 HR Granted, it's his 2nd go around in High-A, but still better than nothing. Cal Stevenson also has a 156 wRC+ in May. I'm very impressed by how he's handled the jump to High-A, and he's kept that K-rate pretty low too.

    New MLB.com Mock Draft has us taking Alek Manoah with Rutledge and Carroll going just before.

    I would look into Giles to the Dodgers. Jansen hasn't been his usual self this season, and their only real hole is in the bullpen. Giles for Dustin May, Mitchell White, and a throw in?

    Merryweather has some interesting xFIP and FIP numbers throughout the minors as well. Never posted an xFIP above 4. Even when he got shelled at AAA, he still registered a 3.89 xFIP.

    At this point, probably the Super 2 deadline

    Nate Pearson today: 4.2 IP, 7H, 5ER, 2BB, 5K

    Classic gurribabbip only beating up on bad pitchers like the reigning Cy Young winner

    Fangraphs Mock Draft v2 has us taking Jackson Rutledge as well, also mentioning that he threw privately for us. From what limited information I have, I’d be more than happy with any of Carroll, Rutledge, Manoah, or Baty.

    Alejandro Kirk is now slashing .367/.456/.551 in Dunedin, one of the hardest leagues to hit in in the minors. I'm pretty sure he'll have the highest wRC+ in the FSL (min. 50 PA) after todays game. And he's doing it as a 20 year old, which makes him tied for the 2nd youngest player in the league. I don't know where you play him defensively, but that bat is looking more and more legit. Cal Stevenson has also turned it around. After a paltry .587 OPS in April, he had a .777 OPS in May entering todays game and just went 2-for-4 with a walk today so that'll rise. I'm actually pretty impressed at how well he's doing in A+ as a 10th round pick.

    Obviously not, but to criticize their moves without looking at them contextually is just as bad. You can't say the front office only added Teoscar, McKinney, Drury to this roster while also ignoring that they were acquired for assets with very limited value. And you wouldn't exactly be the first person on here to be filled with literal dread watching a sport. It seems quite common among some posters here.

    If your religion or your way of life actually makes you feel a sense of 'dread' like he said, it may be time to change said religion or way of life.

    It'd be nice if we could flip Stroman, Giles, and Sanchez for close to ready and controllable big league talent and use our financial flexbility to get a big arm like Gerrit Cole to solidify the top of the rotation for the long term. Tons of money off the books after this season, especially if we're trading away some of our arb players too.
  14. Ray
    Then don't. I'm not entirely sure why any one would actively do something that fills them with dread.

    The Athletic Mock Draft v2 just posted today has us taking Jackson Rutledge.

    The lowest K% that Biggio posted in any month during last season was 23%. So far this season, Biggio has already posted a K% of 17% in April, and has dropped it even further in May to 15%. The drop in K% is pretty dramatic here. Obviously it's a small sample, but maybe it's indicative to him patching up some holes in his swing.

    Today: 6 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 7 K Last five starts: 1.59 ERA, 38 K/4 BB in 34 innings

    John Sickels underrated draft prospects (The Athletic)
  19. Ray
    Nah don't you get it? 300 PA is all that's needed to write off a player as what he is. There's absolutely no way that any player ever will improve.
  20. Ray
    It'd obviously be nice, but I'm willing to bet our future rotation for when we're competitive will comprise of players that aren't even in the system. No one in 2015 could've predicted that Verlander/Cole/Miley would be spearheading the Astros rotation right now.
  21. Ray
    AAA numbers: Jansen: .884 OPS McKinney: .823 OPS I'll concede the .60 point difference, but still not enough to give up on someone.
  22. Ray
    Billy McKinney: 278 PA, 97 OPS+ Danny Jansen: 218 PA, 77 OPS+ So Jansen should be solid despite the fact that McKinney has actually been a better hitter through a nearly comparable number of PA. If you want to give Jansen more rope because of him catching, fine. But it's unfair to write of McKinney as what he is when he's been a better hitter than Jansen so far.

    It's not really an excuse. It's the reality of a situation. Their rotation has been hit harder on the injury front than most teams. Most teams don't exactly have good 8th starters.
  24. Ray
    It's almost like they want to see what they have in their own young players to see who'll stick and who won't as opposed to unnecessarily paying free agents when they don't need to. Most teams in rebuilds don't spend on free agents/make big trades until their competitive window is either open or close to being so. The Feirebend/Jackson situation is a result of 4 of our other MLB capable starts being injured. You take 4 starters out of any rotation and you'll have a mess on your hands. The Yankees have had a similar amount of injuries to their rotation and they literally had to start Chad Green the other day. And they're actually competing. You'd also be surprised at how quickly teams with good farm systems turn around. The 2014 Astros/Cubs, all lost ~90 games only to make the playoffs the next season. Both of them also had 2 of the youngest teams in the league giving younger players a shot to see who could and couldn't stick, just like we're doing now.

    He had a slow start, and it's not entirely uncommon for guys to struggle in their first taste of AA. He's been really hot in May. In April (20 games): .176/.291/.265 10BB 25K In May (15 games): .373/.467/.529 9BB 11K
