    Moreno, if for nothing else positional flexibility and control. There has been talk of Moreno playing various other IF positions. No such talk with regards to Kirk or Jansen. Kirk, teams will be worried about durability IMO. Jansen, still a SSS between injuries etc and no long term control. I think if you are a playoff ready Team and are making a deadline push, Jansen. If you are in the off season and building a sustainable team, Moreno has the most value.

    Gibby was the token Redneck... These days you have to give a shot to all categories.
  3. Carlos Danger
    I thought about that too when I heard Skip got the job.

    Marlins please!!! Great fit, both of them!!

    16 Team points league Dynasty. Not considering positional eligibility for the league as shown below, which one do you prefer going fwd? I am very deep in CF, so one of those might be part of a Riley Greene return. Jazz Chisholm- 2b (Are you worried about his knee injury, or injuries with him in general?) Jeremy Pena- SS Thanks

    I think that Bassit is the exact opposite of Kikuchi and Tanner Rourke. Bassit has been sneaky good and giving you 150 plus innings on average. He would only be 36 at the end of a 3 yr deal and that is not super old for an SP. Kickuchi and Tanner were turds they were trying to polish or signed using a strategy of pray and hope. Bassit is exactly the mature and reliable presence you want in our rotation. If we signed Bassit we still have a spot for a young stud to complement Manoah. Why gamble on reclamation contracts or pillow deals etc on pitchers who sucked in pitchers parks. We have a consistent sneaky good SP available for nothing but market price.

    Makes me feel better since I traded a good young SP prospect for him at the deadline in 2-3 of my leagues this year and I didn’t even win.. lol

    If Mantiply is part of a packaged return, then I think that mitigates the overpaying. I agree and you are right, I would not target soley Mantiply alone and pay a high sellers price at the moment. However, as part of a three player deal or some thing akin to that, I think the value is there.

    Drey Jameson is not projected for the pen. He is in the top 60s SP on Pitchers list and if you do any solid research and based on his MLB time so far is a stud. Young controllable SPs are very expensive in general. However, Drey is where Mahle was at this point or Trevor Rogers when they came up. If you wait until a Mahle becomes a Mahle, you have to pay what the Twins did to get him and it was very expensive. Mantiply is a lefty that hitters have a hard time barreling up against. Garrett made some significant changes and has taken off recently. I am all about buying before the peak. If you wait until Jameson and Garrett become really good, the cost is exorbitant. Mantiply fits a need. The three of them make our team much better. Trade for Drey and sign Bassit and you have a pretty damn good starting 5. Again, young good controllable SPs are expensive and it would take a Kirk in the deal.

    On my cell and don’t have my personal laptop in the office today. However, a lefty RP controlled through 2026 is a good get for us plus the other two guys I mentioned. n the 2022 season Mantiply, who is controllable through the 2026 season, improved his 2021 numbers. Pitching to a low 2.85 ERA in 60 innings with a solid 25.1% strikeout rate, a sparkling 2.5% walk rate, and missing hitters’ barrels (99th percentile for Chase Rate, 94th percentile for Barrel %), the 31-year-old earned a trip to the All-Star game in his second full season. Left-handed hitters have found limited success against Mantiply, slashing a poor .247/.297/.282 against him, while righties are hitting a slightly better .260/.272/.404. The unsightly .252 combined average may be cause for concern, however, Mantiply is tied for the 27th lowest Hard Hit%, among relievers to pitch 50+ innings, and is in the 89th percentile for Average Exit Velocity.

    Not exactly sure what it would take. Probably something like Kirk and Martinez.. I would trade those two or one of those and Pearson for that deal. Probably two of the three and maybe a lesser milb player.. I def think it would make the overall team better.
  12. Carlos Danger
    Drey Jameson, Stone Garret and Mantiply would give me a chubby. There are others as well. They are deep for the future.
  13. Carlos Danger
    Arizona has OF, RPs and pitchers I would be very interested in. I am not talking about big names like Gallen, Varsho or Thomas either. Fertile trading grounds IMO.

    None of the Astros pen is homegrown, apart from one or two of the starters that have moved to the pen. Our pen in the 90’s was a large part homegrown and had depth! We had Henke, Ward and Wells at one point just to name three. All capable of closing. Then in 93, Wardo and Wells. Regardless how you do it, when you are close, like we are, with a limited window, and following the Pat Gillick rule, you need to make those moves to put you over the top. We can’t just leave the pen until last anymore and figure we will find soley serviceable guys to get us by

    Didn’t you give advice exactly counter to this in a Fantasy post (which I agree with by the way). You said something along the lines of you used to hang on to fringe players too long and as you gained more experience you learned to cut bait with them quicker and move on. I think great advice for real baseball and Fantasy. There will be the odd Bautista or Chris Carpenter etc, but 90% are just what they are or never live up to projections/potential.
  16. Carlos Danger
    Yea, but what is our objective. We can’t go to war with almost same same as last season and expect different results. Each incremental improvement helps the overall improvement of the team. We shouldn’t just look at shiny stuff to help us improve, we should be aiming for sum total improvement.
  17. Carlos Danger
    Objectively, regardless of contract, if we want to improve on last year, we should not be complacent with guys like Richards. We can upgrade and add.

    From here on out, I am now going to refer to you as my deaf, Mexican buddy who lives up in the 51st state.
  19. Carlos Danger
    Your comment was fine and innocent. Jim being a smart ass was what brought us down the path of don’t call someone what their not or lump them all together.

    No doubt a player would feel more comfortable on a team with players who speak the same language. However, in reference to the OP and the Marlins, they do try and attract players that represent the community in order to attract fans in the seats and followers of the Team. As I pointed out, that is based on nationality, not language. The Marlins will go after talent first, fan base type players second, Cuban, Venezuelans etc. Just because a player speaks Spanish is not something they would target based on their historical actions and what I know of the area/fanbase/team. If the Marlins want Kirk, it will be because of his talent, but not going to get 10,000 extra Cubans at the game because he speaks Spanish. The Chapman’s when in his prime, Guirielle brothers etc, yes. Speaking Spanish would be helpful with the local media and locals, but unless player is representative of a local demographic, not going to put extra seats in the stands apart from being a good baseball player.

    You read it wrong which is not surprising. It is not racism which you are casually throwing around. It is ignorance. Too many Canadian and Americans use the title Mexican like Coke, Kleenex, Xerox etc. I know plenty of Canadians who get butt hurt being called American or saying you are the 51st state etc. It is by no means racist, but a matter of being proud of the your individual country, culture, identity and not wanting to be lumped in some homogenous mass because you speak the same language. I was and am educating people who honestly/ generally don’t know and those who are just ignorant.
  22. Carlos Danger
    Yea, because it is ignorant to lump a group of people together due to the only commonality being language. Call a Persian and Arab and they get pissed. Call a half the Canadians American or say same s*** and Canadians get bent out of shape, call an Aussie a Brit or vice versa. Call a Japanese person Chinese or Korean. Call someone from France a French Canadian and they will be insulted, especially considering French the way it is spoken in France is so much cleaner and smooth then the guttural nasal French spoken in Quebec etc. Call someone from Calgary a Torontonian. Not racism it it pride of ones culture and origins, country, region etc.

    Just finished listening to AA part 1 of 2 on the Gibby show, good s***! Loving the show so far.
  24. Carlos Danger
    I think you should be able to add Cole Wilcox as an SP or Springs type guy to that list by mid season 2023.
  25. Carlos Danger
    Typical of the average Gringo or Canuck to lump all Spanish speaking players together. Miami and South Florida in general is full of Cubans, Colombians, Venezuelans, DR and others from South and central America. The border States Texas and West are primarily Mexicans and Central America. Even though they all speak Spanish, HUGE differences in the language and culture. Don't ever call a Colombian a Mexican or a Cuban a Mexican etc. Latinos are people from South America which includes Brazil which the language is Portuguese and not Spanish, yet they are still Latinos. The comment that Miami would want a player who is Mexican just because he speaks Spanish is like saying Toronto would want a player from Australia since they speak English and are part of the Commonwealth.
