    I don't think you entertain trading Gomez until 2027 at the very earliest given teams will be wary about sample sizes. Even then, they need to hold onto cheap relievers... he's got what, 2 years of pre-arb left and then 3 arbitration years? Way too early to consider moving him.

    This team sure seems to run hot and cold at times. That is not strange in baseball, but this club seems to be an exception. Multiple stretches of looking like a bottom 5 team, and now multiple stretches of looking like a team that could win this division.
  3. Danchat
    We have gotten solid stretches inexplicably great play from our AAAA utility infielders this year.

    I'm surprised Burger didn't challenge strike 3 there, looked low to me... they only have so many outs left.

    It might be Wallner before Roden...

    SWR's role there is as a mop-up/long reliever, and they've played a bunch of close games in a row so it's natural that has hasn't entered a game for a spell.

    Nice to see Culpepper have a strong outing, he's on my radar for a bullpen call up later this season. Seems like AAA needed a couple bodies in the outfield so they brought up Genth and Brown for a spell... this Genth guy has a career .115 average in the minors (only 180 PAs)... woof. Speaking of Brown, Brown is almost 25 years old after being signed out of an independent league, the average age of a Fort Myers hitter is 21 years old. Kinda a significant difference there. Brown should probably be playing at a higher level than Fort Myers.

    Included in the Fangraphs update was Mendez jumping up to #9 and Fedko leaping all the way up to #17, these guys have stayed healthy and have hit. I dunno about Rodriguez's profile, missing so much time and likely to be a strikeout-heavy hitter. Give me Mendez over Rodriguez - the Bader trade might end up being the best bang for their buck given it was only 2 months of Bader that was traded away for Mendez.

    Took them a bit, but they finally replaced Outman with Fedko. I'm cheering for Kyler, and hoping he can overcome the AAAA expectations.

    There just aren't that many options... transition Klein to be a one-inning reliever and hope his 6.40 ERA at AAA goes down, CJ Culpepper is close but needs to walk less hitters... Raya has finally gotten his walks down, but still sports an ERA over 6. Not a lot to choose from, though I'd take it over the chaff we churn through in the majors.
  12. Danchat
    Just checking in, dang, Royce is back. Too bad it seems Prielipp has gotten figured out... which isn't super surprising for a guy with only 128 innings in his minor league career.
  13. Danchat
    Uff da. At one point it seemed like Orze might be a decent option in the pen, but recently he's looked more like a guy that the Rays gave away for almost nothing.

    Geez, on Burleson's HR I can't remember the last time I've ever seen a home run hit that deep to RF in that section. Also, I saw 4% chance of rain at the beginning of today from the more reliable weather app I use... I guess you can say we hit the low odds?
  15. Danchat
    You beat me to it, that one is gonna confuse some dads.
  16. Danchat
    The main reason why they continue to miss the playoffs is because most of their prospects have disappointed to some degree - not a single Falvey draft pick has ever even made it to an All-Star game. I agree that they have been slow to promote their hitting prospects, but it's not the root to why the team has stunk most of these last 6 years.
  17. Danchat
    They've been fortunate that all three have contributed something offensively... Kreidler's the best defender so he makes the most sense to me to be a bench player. Gray's clutch hitting seems unsustainable and he's a bad defender, that doesn't look like a combo that will last too much longer.
  18. Danchat
    Zebby is a strange starter, he can consistently go 6+ innings which is rare these days, but he just gives up so many darn HRs. I really thought he could work as a #4-5 starter going forward but maybe a move to the bullpen is in his future. LOL @ Outman going to the Tigers. They do have a few outfielders who are Outman-level of incompetence at the plate so I guess it makes a little bit of sense. You have to remember coming into this series they were 13 games below .500, they had to get there somehow.

    The next time I do a Create Your Own Player on whatever 2K Baseball game, I'm gonna name the guy Cash Considerations. 😆
  20. Danchat
    Perhaps it could be beneficial for him to get a cup of coffee for a couple weeks in the majors and then have him go back down and work on his swing until he comes back post trade deadline? I don't think there's any worry that he'd get yo-yoed like a utility guy or a reliever, they don't treat their top prospects like that.
  21. Danchat
    I've seen this play out before, he'll have some positive regression and hit well enough to not get DFA'd, but also still not be good enough to be traded for anything other than cash considerations.
  22. Danchat
    I think it's time for Culpepper to get a shot in the majors.
  23. Danchat
    W = walks, not wins!
  24. Danchat
    Geez, I thought he'd be back any day now. I think he's been out a good 40+ days now...
  25. Danchat
    Well, I like this move more than some other bullpen acquisitions. 3 option years for Rashi and he has pitched well at AAA recently. Very unlikely to be the next Gomez, but I'll take him over Lawrence.
