    Bailey Ober was traded in July?
  2. RonCoomersOPS
    Of this group, I'd guess probably Petty. That said, I think it will be Woods Richardson.
  3. RonCoomersOPS
    I'd rather not have a shortstop next year than re-sign Simmons.
  4. RonCoomersOPS
    There's always "throw more low and away fastballs," which is roughly the pitching equivalent to "hit the ball the other way and use your speed."

    I mean, he's really doing his part to limit the bullpen's exposure as best he can. He's giving great innings and staying healthy deeper into the season than he ever has before ( *jinx jinx jinx* ). He's just gotta keep doing that and leave the bullpen to sort itself out.

    *Bailey Ober has entered the chat*

    Normally I'd agree with your second statement, but in this case we have an employee who has 1) intentionally and very negatively impacted the physical health of his coworkers because of his opinion and 2) now taken to publicly spread disinformation about a public health emergency that has already killed roughly 1 in 500 Americans. If he was publicly saying something like "I think you should vote for person X because I agree with their unpopular policy proposals" or "I do drug Y and I think you should too" then that's one thing. But we're talking about something that can kill the people that listen to and/or work with him.
  8. RonCoomersOPS
    Um, yeah. It's time to void his contract.

    Baseball Reference says they were a game over .500 in August last year and won at a .667 clip in September (24 games) of last year. They scored 119 runs with 112 against in August, compared to 110 for and 80 against in September. I know that 2020 was a weird year, but I don't recall September occurring before August. Seems like you might be misremembering a little bit.

    Cano will be 28 before the season is over, and Vasquez is 27. Hardly "young guys."
  11. RonCoomersOPS
    None of these deals are remotely pitching-heavy enough, and the pitchers involved are generally not going to move the needle nearly enough.
  12. RonCoomersOPS
    I would not touch this deal. If I'm sending Berrios anywhere other than Toronto (I really want Pearson and SWR), then I'm offering him with Kepler to the Padres, telling them we'll take Myers, and asking them to fill in the rest of the trade with at least one of Abrams and Gore and a handful of lottery picks.

    We don't have much at the major league level to show for the pitching development infrastructure that Falvey and Levine and put in place yet, but we do have more legitimate pitching prospects in A+ or higher this year than TR had in all of his last ten years combined. It's really easy, I think, to forget how absolutely pathetic our pitcher development program was before Falvey and Levine showed up, and how very little they had to work with on day one from a coaching and tooling perspective. We have to remember to play the long game with our pitching pipeline. If you ask this question again this time next year, I think it's pretty likely that we'll be able to point to at least several of Winder, Alcala, Duran, Barnes, Sands, Balazovic, Ober, Jax, and Colina. If Canterino comes back relatively soon, or if Enlow's return from TJS goes according to plan, we'll probably be able to point to them as headed toward league average or better in the near future, too. Perhaps Hajjer and/or Macleod (assuming they both sign), as well.
  14. RonCoomersOPS
    Gotta love Rooker making a strong case for DH after Cruz is traded.
  15. RonCoomersOPS
    Balazovic is so good he can pitch and not pitch on the same night.
  16. RonCoomersOPS
    Charlie Barnes is probably the next in line, but Josh Winder is likely the next one that will really be impactful (not to dismiss Barnes, I think he's probably a #4 guy for a good long while; Winder is a guy who I think could make us all quickly feel better about trading Berrios).
  17. RonCoomersOPS
    I'd be pretty pleased if we got McGreevy. Jonathan Mayo has us picking Gavin Williams from East Carolina, and I think I could get behind that pick pretty easily as well.
  18. RonCoomersOPS
    To say the cupboards were bare coming in is an insult to bare cupboards. We were relying on the likes of Kyle Gibson, Tommy Milone, and Ricky Nolasco three days out of five, and the best we had in the pipeline were now-noted MLB players JT Chargois, Adelberto Mejia, Alex Meyer, and Alex Wimmers. I think people forget how bleak the outlook really was when Falvey and Levine came in. Sure, the guys we're all waiting on now might go the way of Wimmers, but it sure looks more likely than not that at least a couple of them will stick near the top of the next several years' rotations and you just couldn't reasonably think the same about what Falvey and Levine inherited.
  19. RonCoomersOPS
    Even though he's been one of my favorite players for years, it's time to trade him. If you can turn him into another Jhoan Duran type, you have to do it. Larnach is the RF moving forward in my view.
  20. RonCoomersOPS
    No. I can think of at least an entire lineup of players from the Gardyball Era that I dislike more than Donaldson. Probably at least a lineup full of players from the TK Era, too.
  21. RonCoomersOPS
    I would hope the Dodgers are on our radar right now. If we are seriously considering a Berrios trade, I would rather get their young players back than those of just about any of the other teams mentioned here.
  22. RonCoomersOPS
    Depends on how many teams come calling for Berrios, and how serious the FO can make those calls sound to the Jays. Callis has been talking about Pearson for Berrios. I would hope for more given Pearson's injury history, myself.
  23. RonCoomersOPS
    If I'm trading Berrios to the Jays, I would want Pearson and Woods Richardson.
