    Are the Rockies attempting to top what our bullpen did yesterday?
  2. Danchat
    Raya definitely has more upside... but they need to decide on Klein being a one inning reliever rather than the nonsense multi-inning piggyback starter.
  3. Danchat
    Yeah... not shocked that this is what we get from a guy with a ERA north of 5.60 in 140 career innings at AAA. Yes, he got hot lately, but over the aggregate he was quite bad.
  4. Danchat
    Well, that's the last challenges unless we go to extra innings.
  5. Danchat
    4 HRs for Goodman in his last 5 PAs... insanity! Stop pitching to him!
  6. Danchat
    Julien with a called strikeout? That brings back memories.
  7. Danchat
    I'd take SWR over the waiver wire bullpen arms we usually claim... problem is he doesn't have any options.
  8. Danchat
    He's actually returning to a former position of his in Cleveland, he previously had a job there that he took after getting fired from Indy. BTW, I've seen that there's speculation Sanders could be traded in the next couple months. Not that he'd go for much, but it sounds like he or Gabriel (who was drafted ahead of him) will be gone as they did draft a QB who will be their QB3.

    Feels like they need to move one of their OFs for a reliever... hopefully one that isn't a rental. Heck, I'd dangle Roden out there, might as well cash him in for something if they aren't going to use him.

    To be fair to the prospects, we don't know if it's a true logjam until they play in the majors and we learn that it actually was a logjam in hindsight. 98% of the time it never was, but I understand why some would consider it a logjam when a team's top prospects are crowded at one position and aren't getting called up.

    I guess they wanted someone who can mop up about 3 innings and be DFA'd later (he has no options)? Odd move, and even stranger is Voth's career the past couple years - he was a decent reliever in 2024 for Seattle, but then played for a Japanese league team in 2025 and came back stateside this year to be a starter at AAA. Huh.

    You can criticize the NFL on having strange/questionable suspension lengths (Ray Rice, DeShaun Watson situations), but they always crack down fairly hard on gambling. I was anticipating Sorsby would only go in maybe Round 4 of the Supplemental draft or later given how big a red flag the gambling is. Now he may get lost in a very deep QB class.

    He got extended with Kwesi only 12 months ago, the Wilfs probably didn't want to payout his entire deal he's probably being shifted to a position where he won't do much. Teasley has already brought in another former GM in Ryan Pace to be a consultant, so Grigson is way down the totem pole now. Where he should be, to me this has been good news. Kirschner in particular is a very good hire.

    Pretty crazy how inflated AAA hitting stats are. Walker Jenkins' .785 OPS looks rough compared to the rest of this crew. I know it's not a popular take, but I wouldn't mind if we don't see him in the majors this year. For even as hot as Wallner is, Roden still has 150 OPS points over him and is striking out a lot less often. Add in Wallner's defense which I doubt has gotten better, and I don't see why you'd take Wallner over Roden. I'm sure if called up Wallner would hit more HRs, but the Ks are always gonna be a problem. Mendez is raking too, from what I've seen, I'm not convinced he is a major league caliber outfielder. It might be wise to give him reps at 1B over Sabato, who is hitting well too but still is very unlikely to be a major league caliber bat (he's gonna strikeout all the time). I'm interested to see Gonzalez splitting his reps evenly between LF, RF, and 1B, but he just hasn't hit well this year compared to what the rest of AAA hitters are doing even with his recent hot streak.
  15. Danchat
    I don't think Larnach is going anywhere if they continue to flirt with a wild card spot, not to mention if they do move him it'll probably be within a few days of the deadline, so he's gonna be here for the next month at least.
  16. Danchat
    If it's not just for a rental, sure.
  17. Danchat
    It goes to show why including Roden in the package for Varland was confusing, the time to get value out of him is now. Or worst case scenario, definitely prove he can't hit in the majors. He's onto 530 PAs in his AAA career hitting .322 with a .950 OPS... if they're not going to use him, they may as well trade him (as part of a package) for a player who they will put on the field in the majors. Not to mention Emmanuel Rodriguez will need to be on the 26 man roster next year given he'll be out of options, Roden will be in his final option year, Mendez is on track to be ready for the majors by then too. Add in Jenkins and Gonzalez... who knows what the outfield will look like next year.

    Kreidler and Jackson hitting this well is really baffling compared to the rest of their careers, but we'll take it!
  19. Danchat
    18 ERA! Wow, that even dwarfs Garcia's 10.38. Nice to see Rojas back, but I'd like to see Raya get his first chance soon. He's already on the 40 man and they could easily option Adams or Laweryson to get him up.
  20. Danchat
    19 hits in 5 innings... good lord!
  21. Danchat
    Good gravy, everyone will be pumping up their hitting stats tonight!
  22. Danchat
    I remember when he was first traded there in 2019 and wondering why he went for so cheap, since then he's generated around 18 WAR. But looks like he's been stinky this year... he's only 30 though.
  23. Danchat
    It's not lost on me that the first Falvine-drafted player to make an All-Star game will be Varland, the very year after they traded him. Whoops!
  24. Danchat
    We're already wanting to send Fedko back after 5 PAs? I have vouched for Roden before, but Fedko is up because he's a righty.
  25. Danchat
    If the plan is to pay out his final arb year, I agree. If they're gonna be cheap and not pay the $6-7M it would take to return him, then trade him. No point in letting him hit FA for nothing this winter.
