    He has a legitimate chance to be DFAed because every reliever not on a multi year contract has a real chance of that each and every year. If varland has this exact couple of weeks stretch in 2027 he could be DFAed. That's just how baseball works.

    I'm putting zero emphasis on his two weeks of struggle. I put 100% emphasis on him only being good for 4.5 months. I didn't say its more likely he will be DFAed in 2027. Its just that he is a reliever and there is always a large chance that they will suck in two years. And if they are out of options they often get DFAed. The only time I step outside that mindset is longer term track record. He doesn't have it. Same applies to Fisher but he has more options. I just looked at the 2023 roster and there are exactly two relievers who pitched for the blue jays this year. Chad Green and Yimi Garcia. There are tons of position players and starters.

    Varland was a good reliever for like half a year. I think its certainly possible he is good again, but i also think its more than possible he is DFAed in 2027 when he doesn't have an option. There is way too much certainty in his stuff out there. He has no track record to justify that .

    Yea i love that trade. Two more of those would be nice. Cheap, rental, strikes people out. Do that MULTIPLE times.
  5. jmomcc
    Yea get rentals who can k people. That's like the only job. Atkins finds a way to over complicate, not get someone who can k people and then bask in all of the control.

    Varland's sinker grades out as good as his fastball and he seems to be better at locating it in a smaller sample. Maybe reduce 4 seam and increase sinker? Try to get the fastball up, sinker down, and knuckle curve down.

    Clement i think doesn't have an amazing arm but has very quick smooth actions.

    The yankees are way scarier. They have great pitching and hit bombs.

    They built a pitching lab. Its essentially one starter in ten years. They do a good job spending tons of money in free agency. Usually get healthy guys who chew innings. That's literally it on the pitching side. In ten years.

    Buddy, smart people online will tell you it is extremely valuable to get 5 years of control of the most volataile player type in baseball. That clown Cashman when he isn't actually developing pitching (i didn't know teams were allowed to do that) was too dumb to get that sweet sweet control and just grabbed multiple relievers instead. What a dummy. He's not smart like Ross.

    How were they terrible? He had 4 earned runs over 9 outings. 11ks, 4bb, 7 hits.
  12. jmomcc
    If we don't win the division, atkins needs to be gone. How long can you just spend ungodly amounts of money on bad pitching and never develop any?
  13. jmomcc
    Fisher being in buffalo is inexcusable but unsurprising from an org that just does not know pitching. He has the best k-bb% in the entire pen.
  14. jmomcc
    The idea that varland could start is laughable. How the hell does that no movement fastball work at like 95? That is a pipe dream.
  15. jmomcc
    Its not plus stuff. Its been just above average mostly last 4 games.
  16. jmomcc
    But dude, 5 years of control of a reliever. Its incredibly important!
  17. jmomcc
    They need homegrown pitching to come through. Its just not tenable to have rotations full of free agents. Its by far our biggest weakness. Gimenez and straw are interesting. Its kind of clear to me that defensive WAR is just not considered as valuable. Its possible that the reason for that is defense degrades quicker so elite defenders don't often reach free agency as still elite defenders?
  18. jmomcc
    Thank god, still do not trust hoffman lol. Maybe the rest will help him.
  19. jmomcc
    That was smoked as well
  20. jmomcc
    That was hit hard
  21. jmomcc
    Vlad looks off after his short time out.
  22. jmomcc
    I feel bad for Lauer. He was going great and he was messed with in terms of rest.
  23. jmomcc
    When the front office trades for people the manager kind of has to play them. That's on the front office. They did manage to downgrade the team at the deadline.
  24. jmomcc
    I wonder why he is getting hit so hard this year. Its kind of untenable for a closer. Very little soft contact.
  25. jmomcc
    Varland and Little have options as well. I know he will be back up but he should never have been down in the first place.
