    Yup, Perez is the guy he was back in Texas. He's going to give up a lot of runs and maybe get 5 innings... maybe a move to the bullpen would be the best for him.
  2. Danchat
    It sure looks like he’ll be the DH. I’m not sure if Morales and Bird are going to be factors, so they could be DFAd if they ever get healthy. MLBtraderumors suggests Frazier could get traded for pitching.

    Ugh, I don't like this. The Yankee lineup is loaded from top to bottom - if healthy, of course.
  4. Danchat
    Holy cow, that's a microscopic BABIP! Colome would be a decent addition but I'd be aiming higher for a second reliever.

    LaVelle E Neal said on the radio yesterday that Krilioff should be back within the "next week or so". Apparently he just got a Cortisone shot in his wrist, and he's going to try to play very soon.

    Nice article, and I highly agree. We could move guys like Blakehorn, Jax, Colina, or even a big piece like Javier and I wouldn't hate it as the 40 man crunch is gonna be difficult to choose from. Add that in with the fact that prospects flame out all the time, and I absolutely approve of moving prospects. Try to not overspend on a trade, especially for a reliever - but with the way Falvine has held onto their prospects thus far, I don't think they're going to be reckless. I expect them to be calculated.

    I do love me a 2 and a half hour game as compared to the 3.5+ hour ones.
  8. Danchat
    There's your BOMBA!!!!!!!!!
  9. Danchat
    Alright, Gibby! Let's get a complete game from you! There's no better way to hide the bullpen than to not even need it.
  10. Danchat
    ...and Schoop grounds into the exact same double play as he did the last time up. Ugh!
  11. Danchat
    Let's see if they can do something with back to back errors...
  12. Danchat
    Was he cheap because he's already so old (25 is really old for a international signing, right?)?
  13. Danchat
    Sign me up! Lugo in addition to guy like Greene or Smith would make for a good haul.
  14. Danchat
    I've been waiting for this guy to get a chance for over a year now. It doesn't seem like the FO considers him to be a prospect or even as an option with how many times he's been passed over by other players.
  15. Danchat
    Not good, but do remember that AAA is undergoing an unprecedented surge of offense. Here's his basic line: 5.47 ERA in 24.2 IP, 1.257 WHIP, 8.4 H/9, 2.2 HR/9, 2.9 BB/9, 9.5 K/9 The home runs were getting him in AAA, and he threw surprisingly few walks. It seems command wasn't as big of a problem for him down there than I thought it was. I'm not sure if putting him back in the rotation fixes him... it's hard to say. He wasn't getting strikeouts in the major or minor rotation last year.
  16. Danchat
    The only other optionable relievers were Harper (not happening) and Duffey (has earned a chance to stay). Eades probably wasn't available today so they sent him down, and they can get him back within 10 days or stash Parker or someone else on the IL and get him back. With the shape the pen is in, Eades will be back for better or for worse.

    Somebody on the game thread yesterday said something along the lines of "playoff teams don't lose a game like this". Well, I pose to you this... do non-playoff teams consistently have dominant victories after bad losses the night before? It almost seems like this team is immune to losing streaks. It is incredibly frustrating to see Romero struggling like he is. He needs his reset button hit and pretend like he's starting a new season over again. It seems to me like he's the latest Twins pitching prospect in to just fall apart like this.
  18. Danchat
    I gotta admit, for all the doubting I've had for Buxton, he's more than delivered. He's finally become the player we were dreaming about years ago... I'm becoming a believer now.
  19. Danchat
    I'm sure glad they don't have Edwin Diaz in their bullpen...
  20. Danchat
    Romero has a solid 5.47 ERA with 2.2 HR/9, Moya has a unsightly 7.94 ERA and an ugly 4.8 BB/9... Littell probably needs some time to adapt to the bullpen. We also kinda need Smeltzer as our 6th starter 'cause I don't know who else is going to be that.
  21. Danchat
    Well, it could make room to trade for a couple relievers and a starter. A good chunk of the free agent relievers have performed poorly anyways. I just wish we could start the trades now and not have to wait until the last 2 weeks of July to do it.
  22. Danchat
    Parker's gone down the Addison Reed route - 2 dominant months and now complete disaster. Outside of Harper and Rogers nothing has gone right for this bullpen... we need help and it ain't coming from the minors.
  23. Danchat
    Wade looks like he's settled in his scouting report - great OBP hitter, but with little power and probably a corner OF. The low batting average has to be concerning with AAA becoming a land of rising batting averages. I would consider an Odorizzi extension, it just depends how much he wants after this career year. Gibson is a no for me, he doesn't seem like a lock to repeat his 2018 season and has disappointed me thus far. Also a no on Pineda. But yeah, the position players in the minors look exciting and even in the low minors, they have some talented guys. Now if we could just get some more [and healthy] pitching prospects going...
  24. Danchat
    Despite Marwin's streakiness at the plate, he does seem to have a clutch-factor to him. Alright, that's our second out in two games trying to stretch a single (or error) into a double. Outs on the bases like that always annoy me to no end, so no more, please. Take first and let the next guy hit you over.
  25. Danchat
    I'm pretty sure they just wanted to get another inning out of Berrios. It's not like his arm is going to explode immediately after throwing 100 pitches.
