    Seriously, its been 100 f***ing games now, kid has does nothing that would tell you he deserves to bat infront of Teo, Gurriel or even Chapman at this point.
  2. RustyTrombone
    He was down in Dunedin for a couple weeks on the "Development List".
  3. RustyTrombone
    Moreno is worth alot more than that. IDK Skubal is pretty decent, but feels like Moreno should only be on the table for Soto/Ohtani level of talents.

    Just get Rodon/Cobb and call it a deadline. If teams like the Tigers are gonna want too much for 1 inning guys then they can f*** off. More than happy to rely on the core 5 we got and hope a couple of Zulu/Juenger/Pearson/Merrywether can make a impact in September.

    Addison Barger batting .462!!!!!! in AA now. Kid is on a absolute heater. 24 for 52 with 4 doubles and 4 homers. Gonna shoot up prospect lists.
  6. RustyTrombone
    It means 2.75 xERA vs 4.whatever actual ERA.
  7. RustyTrombone
    Cobb would be amazing if we could get him. Dude has been pitching lights out but getting unlucky. Would probably cost as much as Rodon or more based on his contract.
  8. RustyTrombone
    Rays would want more. Would be an insta yes if the Rays offered straight up.
  9. RustyTrombone
    Legendary stuff from JP. Also remember him calling out Adam Dunn as not even liking baseball when Toronto media kept saying to trade for him.
  10. RustyTrombone
    If you wanna say he has no power over a small sample like that then can we talk about his power numbers in AA last year before he broke his thumb where he had 18 XBH in 126 ABs? He just needs to get that stroke back. Theres plenty of power here.
  11. RustyTrombone
    You need someone exactly like that in the playoffs. Do you really want Gurriel or Teo out there in a one run save situation in game 5 of the DS? Or what if Kirk singles to leadoff the ninth in a tied game? Do you still not want someone fast to come into to run for him?
  12. RustyTrombone
    As the 5th OF he gets maybe 2 at bats a week. Is it really worth it to spend resources on replacing him when there will be basically not even a marginal difference? And hes probably one of those guys whos just happy to collect a big league paycheck and not cause any problems in the clubhouse. He knows his role and does it well IMO.
  13. RustyTrombone
    I would be shocked if we acquire a position player tbh. With Tapia stepping up and Teo/Gurriel raking and Zimmer being perfectly fine as the 5th OF there just isn't a spot for another bat unless you are subtracting from the current position player group. I would bet we go all in for a significant rotation upgrade like Castillo/Montas and a couple good RPs. Maybe you upgrade from Collins?
  14. RustyTrombone
    Easy sweep
  15. RustyTrombone
    Perez: 1.45 ERA, 4.5 xERA Bautista: 1.6 ERA, 3.3 xERA Lopez: 1.6 ERA, 3.1 xERA Baltimore bullpen is solid but not this good. Regression will come for them eventually.
  16. RustyTrombone
    Tapia pre May 26: avg EV of 85.5 mph, launch angle of 6 degrees, 35% hard hit rate, .244 xBA Tapia post May 26: avg EV of 89.9 mph, launch angle of 1 degree!!, 48% hard hit rate, .293 xBA So clearly has been hitting the ball much harder consistently. More surprisingly avg LA has gone down significantly so meaning more ground balls which has somehow turned into better results. Whatever Crabman is doing he needs to keep doing it tbh.
  17. RustyTrombone
    Zulu throws a 4 seamer vs a sinker from Frasso. Velo is similar, 96-100 for both of them. Zulu has the 4th pitch to Frassos 3. Zulu has the better breaking ball. Frasso has the better change up. Zulu has more history as a prospect. Thats about it tbh. They both have nasty stuff and miss bats with their fastballs and secondary's. I guess Zulu has more helium since he was on the radar going into last year before he blew his knee out.
  18. RustyTrombone
    What I really like is that his ISO nearly tripled from last year. .065 to .150 this year.
  19. RustyTrombone
    Honestly id be totally ok with moving Vlad for Soto plus like mid level prospect like Groshans or something.
  20. RustyTrombone
    We all know hes going to the Dodgers anyway
  21. RustyTrombone
    Hard to consider him a rental when its for 2.5 years.
  22. RustyTrombone
    So uhh.....Teoscar+Tiedemann+Moreno+Zulueta+1st rd pick from this year???
  23. RustyTrombone
    Yea for sure, I mean a team like the Yankees/Rays/Dodgers probably squeezes out like 4 WAR from him over the next 3 years. Good to see us keep him even though his results have been dog s***.
  24. RustyTrombone
    Happy to see Beasley back over Romo. Beasleys results have been s*** but his underlying numbers are great as is his stuff. Give him enough innings and his results should start to get (much) better.
  25. RustyTrombone
    Easy way to get an idea of what you are looking for is here:https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/swing-take?year=2022&team=&group=Batter&type=All&sub_type=null&min=q Comparing Vlad from last year to this is really pathetic.
