    Gordon hasn’t even been sent on a rehab assignment so at this point it is much ado about nothing. True there still is enough time to get in a rehab assignment. There is not enough time to get him a rehab assignment and enough time to get him adjusted to mlb. He is not that good of a player. Not a bad player, either. A rehab assignment is inn order as a disaster plan. Depending on what you think you might need. One more CF going down is about the only scenario. Larnach can cover the other OF positions.

    A 1970s Oakland Athletics player. IIRC they were winners

    If the bast is any indication of what the Mets would trade for you need to look at the trades they made. Robertson, Verlander and Scherzer went for 21 and under high ceiling prospects. I don’t think this FO would make that kind of deal for 1 year of Alonso and a later comp pick. Larnach and lottery tickets perhaps. September, pennant races, playoffs, I suppose it is never too early to shift to fantasy GM time

    WPA/Li would order it Jullian solano Polanco Jeffers Wallner Castro Kirillloff Taylor Lewis Buxton Most valuable depends on what you want to count

    Julien is no longer a prospect. The fans have turned on him
  6. old nurse
    Probably what is holding him back is the 33% k rate

    Atlanta has done some amazing things. Acura, Ozuna, Olson, and Morton all on very team friendly contracts and the team appears to be healthy every season
  8. old nurse
    They did get rid of revokable waivers.

    Baseball has always changed the rules.

    So if you cam’s waive players then the DFA players couldn’t be claimed during Agust, either. Some player would be denied a chance to be on a roster.

    Had the Twins snagged the 2 relievers and Refroe there wouldn’t have been complaints of unfairness nor that the system needs changing. If Cleveland nor Cincinnati make the playoffs the system would be considered working fine by mlb. Tanking for a draft pick at this point in the season. Players playing for a job next year. Every other team that was lower than the standings is in the same boat. Here is to hoping that the Reds Giants, Diamondbacks and Marlins win the draft lottery

    That should be apparent but nobody is going there. A deeper playoff run could have happened with a strengthened bullpen. You can’t let your competitor get better Blocking other teams from getting better happened in the days of revokable waivers. This time it cost Cleveland some money

    28 games left I16 against teams with losing records right now not including 3 against Cleveland. f the Twins go 14-14 Cleveland would have to go 19-9 to tie the Twins in the standing. 20-8 to pass. There would have to be a collapse by the Twins, Cleveland’ gets a lot of hot batting, or a plane fell out of the sky for them to catch the Twins.

    Well, at this point it would be if the Reds or Marlins wanted a player as it would seem unlikely a non playoff contending team would put in a claim. Passing up a chance for a shutdown pullpen should b a no brained. Renfroe and Grichuck have had great careers but not great years. They would be better than Luplow

    When you look to see who have been MVPs in the playoffs you see about half of them are players playing above their normal levels. Cute can be necessary for a w

    I think you probably have to be a caretaker to get the worthy articles. Just a guess at what is there since I am not one.

    If you have enough great players then team chemistry isn’t important. It does seem important as the time passes from the date freer agency was started it seems like the less there are the brawling teams. One of the things free agency allowed was to get away from people you couldn’t stand
  18. old nurse
    Pablo and Sonny then pray for rain
  19. old nurse
    Using Baseball Reference statistics, being 0.3 years older than the average age of the players you are playing against is a problem? 2 years of low level JC baseball, one year of which he pitched only 9 innings. One mediocre year at D1 level. With that development level of his pitching, it was a reach to start him at Elizabethton and not the complex league. They probably should have called him up when they sent Moran down but the FO seems to like Ortega and Moran. When Ortega’s injury became enough, they got a 40 man spot for him
  20. old nurse
    Maeda had 12 great starts in a 1/3 season. That was his outlier year. The Dodgers had him as a swing starter/reliever. He is what he is. A back of rotation starter that can occasionally pitch a great game.
  21. old nurse
    Unless Carmago can hit at the major league level at a level to overcome his catching this is yet another losing trade by the Twins
  22. old nurse
    How many bloggers they have will be the number of articles.
  23. old nurse
    They are trying to make a fine grind of the horse that was the trade deadline
  24. old nurse
    Barlow is having a poor season that has continued to be poor in San Diego Robertson netted to teenagers who rank 12 and 20 in the Mets prospect rankings while they are in rookie level Sewald netted 2 near MLB ready prospects and a throw in. They were in the 10-15 range in rankings Hicks netted 2 prospects that were like 9 and 12., both were pitchers. The better offer for Robertson would have been like Soto and DeAndrade For Sewald it is probably Wallner, another prospect and Farmer or Castro 2 pitchers for Hicks the Twins probably do not have that to give up
  25. old nurse
    0 fer. That is what the Twins did. Lopez didn’t bounce back, Alcala still injured, Moran didn’t develop, Winder didn’t develop. The backup plans DeLeon and Stewart injured. The back up backup plan of Headrick and Ortega was meh. Balazovic may yet develop, they never gave him leverage situations. His pitching was purely for development. It wasn’t a failure yet it wasn’t a success either. 0 fer 9 on nine pitchers. That would be an immaculate inning of failure
