  1. I think you are over valuing Moreno if you think we can get Thomas and a pitching prospect. We would be lucky to get Thomas.
  2. Thanks for the link!
  3. Goes to my point after the Diaz signing. The market for pitching is astronomical at the moment. Diaz deal, Suarez deal, this trade, (which I am ok with) just goes to show the cost of pitching either in FA, or by trade is high!
  4. Your list is not accurate, missing a big piece of their pen. Trades or signings not made sometimes takes more skill then a signing or a trade.
  5. Bassit declined the QO
  6. Bassit would be the third best pitcher on the Blue Jays based on Berrios last year.
  7. Bassit is sneaky good. At 32 I think he is, I take a 3 yr or more deal, which will be there for him I have no doubt. No way Bassit should accept the QA.
  8. I would do that trade in a heat beat!!
  9. Not saying you have to go on FA spree (multiple FAs) to build an elite pen. Just saying to get a part of a complete pen you are going to need to pay in excess of what was the norm previously. Whether that be trade, FAs etc, the prices are high and don’t see them coming down.
  10. Go back 15-20 years people were freaking out that an RP non closer or a lefty specialist was even getting a few million a year. It is the new norm as baseball has progressed. Closers get paid...... I hate it too and from a risk perspective I hate it. However, I think Teams that want to win the WS need to suck it up and get in on the bidding... It would take a lot of luck to build an elite pen and not have to resign a going to be FA in end of contract year, pay for an open market FA, pay high arbitration numbers, or pay in trade value. Unfortunatly big bucks for closers and elite RPs is the new reality. Very difficult to build a complete elite pen with only homegrown farm dudes making MLB minimum or dumpster diving
  11. So the moral of the story is kids, pitching (SPs & RPs ) and defense equals run prevention, run prevention wins world series. This message is brought to you by Blue Jay fans for elite bullpens and the owners of Spanky’s bar: Liquor in the front, poker in the rear, getting hammered together since 1972.
  12. Thanks for finding an owner Jim. Having said that, will def be keeping an eye on you for collusion -
  13. 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.
  14. Gibby was the token Redneck... These days you have to give a shot to all categories.
  15. I thought about that too when I heard Skip got the job.
  16. Marlins please!!! Great fit, both of them!!
  17. 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
  18. 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.
  19. 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
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. Drey Jameson, Stone Garret and Mantiply would give me a chubby. There are others as well. They are deep for the future.
  25. 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.
