  1. Again, I said up to 4 RPs all depending what we do with SPs... I made it clear I am not saying 2 Sps and 4 RPs it depends one on or the other and the types of RPs and SPs.. We need to make the playoffs before we can start talking about playoff rotations and only needing 4 SPs.. There is still 45% of the season left. You can never have to much depth. I can name really solid depth guys in AAA or waiting to come off the IL for the Yankees, Marlin's, Mets as examples.. We don't have that... We have nothing waiting in the wings for SP or RP... We still need more depth..
  2. Yes!! That is what we need to do.. The cost is $$ and not some future HOF, but he is an elite back end arm that lengthens our BP and immediatley helps our SP situation since we don't need as many innings from them to reach quality in the pen.
  3. I said 2-4 BP arms, depending on what we do with SPs. If one, of those guys regresses or gets injured we have zero depth except for Kickuchi.. and then you have 3 SPs for 45% of the season remaining. Berrios has been hit or miss, Stripling SSS.... We need more depth... When I say 2 SPs I am talking about a Luis Castillo and maybe a Chad Kuhl etc... I would have really liked Cody Poteet as a 5th SP swing man, but he just went on the 6o day IL... But if you think we have enough SP depth, you have not been following baseball long enough.. If we get a guy like a Poteet, (obviously not him) then we don't need 4 BP arms, but if we only get 1 SP, then I do think we need an infusion of set up types, and upgrade middle/long relief.... We won't be playing the AAAA Royals and the Bad news Bears Red Sox down the stretch..
  4. Our position of strengh this year IMO is ability to eat $$ on big contracts. Without wiping out our farm, I think we are at a disadvantage compared to other teams with specs and need to leverage $$ for SPs. Our farm is not as strong as it was the past two years in terms of trade capital without totally mortgaging our future, we don't have the depth IMO. LGRjr was just an example.. It is easier to replace LGR then it is to aquire a solid SP. We are only doing ok with SPs because we don't need a 5th starter until Saturday I believe. We need at least 2 SPs IMO, that is barring any regression or further injuries. We also need 2-4 BP pieces. I really think the only way to get there and get quality return is moving MLB pieces and eating some bad contracts as part of a deal or taking on big contracts..
  5. With all the pitching needs we have, I just don't see how we can check all the boxes without moving a position player.. Most likely someone like LGR jr.. Hence, the aquistion of someone like Laureno as a replacement. The A's might not match up with what the team is selling, i.e an SP with big $$ remaining... Hence use MLB pieces and eating $$ to obtain for us, replace loss for us via specs etc to someone like the A's..
  6. He hasn’t played the whole year. He is starting to warm up. He would make our team better without a doubt in my mind. Don’t think he would be cheap though.
  7. Poor Charlie, be gets fired, called feminine in a BJMB thread and is being accused of cursing us.. LOL La is generally reserved for feminine. El is the masculine Having said that, very happy to have Schneider.
  8. He is who I wanted after Gibbons in the first place. Hope he is here to stay and this is a waste of a thread.
  9. Who was that blond 1b we shipped to the Brewers for Estrada. Not Overbay, after him. I heard he was partly shipped out for being a clubhouse team/issue. Adam L??
  10. Waiting on my drunk/high/will regret in the AM trade offer....
  11. Orioles supposedly will be making Santander and Lopez available among others.. Santander switch hitter gets us a lefty bat.. Lopez a back end high leverage RP..
  12. Plus they lost John Means for the year and are still on our heals.
  13. Ty France doesn’t make the All-Star team.. BS!!
  14. Why is everyone acting so surprised with Kikuchi.. He had one half of a good season. Unlike Flaherty when he was younger, it was the first half. His second half sucked and there were mechanical and velocity issues. A three year contract ( I am sure forced by market dynamics) and relying on Pete Walker magic beans and a Robby Ray .2 miracle is not good strategic planning IMO.
  15. I would like Lange. He can bridge that gap we aren’t able to now between the SPs and our “set-up, closer guys.” Would also like Wentz.
  16. Infuriating. Obviously, the boat driver had no idea what the f*** they were doing. Totally preventable and an unfortunate perfect storm of f***-ups/bad luck for that to happen. Damn, it is going to hurt regardless, but soo avoidable
  17. I think it was quite exposed prior to today TBH..
  18. Maybe I missed it somewhere on here in an earlier post or another thread. However, why are we playing a double header vs the Rays? Both of us have domed stadiums???
  19. Why was Bassit scratched from his start tonight and placed on IL Red flag with white cross but it is a non-injury issue???
  20. The team might say Soto is only 23 and Ohtani is 27... So a 10 year contract.... One is over at 33 the other at 37... Just saying what the team trying to save money might use as counter to a comparison... Even though as you mentioned with the pitching aspect not really apples to apples..
  21. I get it... From a marketing, fan, sex appeal standpoint JRod wins out... Just from a do what's right by your players point of view. You have a guy who has been carrying the Team on his shoulders all season, and a lot last season and even in the brief time he played with them after the trade from San Diego vs. a guy who has been doing it for a month. I get it though... The All-Star game is an entertainment event within an entertainment business... Just sucks to be a really outstanding high performing employee consistently and get overshadowed for a proffessional award by the new guy who has had a good month...
  22. France has a 156 wRC+ for the whole season. His offensive value on Fangraphs is 19.8 to 10.7 for JRod.. France just gets killed on the defensive side vs a CF and he is still basically tied for WAR. Regardless, I am not going to dispute your last sentence saying JRod is the better player going FWD.. I am going to stick to my assertion that if the Mariners get one player to represent them at the 2022 All Star game, it should be France, all helium etc aside.
  23. I am worried you might be right about Bednar.. However, there is a history of Cherington leveraging good RPs for future assets at the deadline. I think we shoud hope Seattle and Detroit fall out of it far and quick. Both teams have multiple nice RP arms that we might be able to aquire...
