    Keep him in the rotation for the near future - if more injuries strike, move him to the pen. Seems straightforward to me.
  2. Danchat
    Well, Kirilloff is finally up. Larnach going down isn't a huge surprise with how poor he's been at the plate recently. At some point, one of our first rounder hitters has to step up. Larnach's not looking good, Kirilloff's wrist can't stay healthy and will probably sap his power, and Wallner deserves a shot but it looks like he's gonna strike out a lot. Not to mention Sabato, who may not even reach the majors with the Twins.

    Yup, here come the pitching injuries, Mahle is probably going to be sidelined alongside Maeda. At least we have Ober/Varland ready and then also SWR/Headrick too. I've been encouraged by what I've seen out of Varland and Headrick in the majors. The Mahle trade is looking pretty rough so far...
  4. Danchat
    Turns out they skipped Maeda's previous turn in the rotation for a good reason... Color me surprised on Gallo so far, let's hope he can maintain this level of slugging later in the year. He was signed to play outfield initially, and he derives quite a bit of his value from playing well in the corners, so I expect him to be out there once Kirilloff is back, it just remains to be see if Kirilloff can hold down the 1B job.

    My point was that if both Martin and SWR flop, we lose because we could have turned Berrios' trade value into something else, there were other teams that had given the Twins offers on him. Failing to turn 1.5 years of control of him into a single useful MLB player would be a loss in my book. Obviously too early to call, but the trade is looking questionable for both sides right now.
  6. Danchat
    There is such thing as a lose-lose trade...

    Sounds like the spitting image of Jake Odorizzi - gets the Ks, but throws too many pitches and is usually 'good enough' but never takes the next step. Yeah, I'd be fine not paying a bunch for Gray, with the likes of Varland/Ober/SWR in the wings.

    Vegas has welcomed in a football team and a hockey team with roaring results, and I think they will be a great destination for the A's, but it is sad that Oakland will be losing them. It's pretty rare to see a team with that much history have to relocate.
  9. Danchat
    Teams should be bunting at least once per inning against the White Sox, they're so terrible at fielding that they'll screw up about half of them. It's pretty crazy how consistently bad they've been on defense the past couple years.
  10. Danchat
    Seems too early to say they nailed it, especially with the injuries that have popped up. Get back to me in another month or so and then we can talk.
  11. Danchat
    I didn't realize Headrick started the year in AAA, that's quite the promotion after just 10 games pitched in AA.
  12. Danchat
    We’ll see about Kirilloff and Lewis… but my long-term concern is that more injuries are going to mount over the next few months like they have the past two years.
  13. Danchat
    So far, things are panning out as expected... the starters look great, the bullpen is fine, and the hitters are very questionable... we're just not going to be scoring a lot of runs when Solano, Castro, and Taylor are in the same lineup.
  14. Danchat
    Thanks for the info, that’s intriguing. Looks like Benson was/is a decently highly regarded prospect with plus power but might strike out too much. They may come out of this trade with a couple quality MLB hitters.
  15. Danchat
    Let’s not forget the Reds also netted Steven Hajjar in the trade… it seems to me that they’ll need to extend Mahle if they want to get enough value out of this trade. If they lose Mahle over the winter, I think the trade is going to age poorly.
  16. Danchat
    Zero top 20 prospects? That's kinda hard to believe, but yeah, De Andrade is the only guy who's close. Huh.
  17. Danchat
    It's wild to see Lamonte Wade Jr. playing 1B and leading off for the Giants, and also Rob Refsnyder leading off for the Red Sox...
  18. Danchat
    Yup, I'm in love with it. No more sitting and waiting around, having less lull keeps my attention - maybe that's a me thing. But I think one day we're going to look back and wonder how we tolerated such slow games.
  19. Danchat
    If Bundy’s season could be called a success, then why did he have to settle for a MILB deal? He couldn’t even get $1M guaranteed! It’s telling that no major league team even considered putting Bundy or Archer into their rotation. Wisler pitched in 18 games for the Twins, I would hardly call that a successful acquisition.
  20. Danchat
    As I said elsewhere, I think Sands making the team has more to do with options remaining. If Hoffman and Coulombe had options, there would have likely been more consideration for holding onto them.
  21. Danchat
    Sands will be back in AAA sooner than later, but Maeda is probably going to get a decently long leash. I’m 90% sure Ober will be up due to an injury rather than Maeda flopping.
  22. Danchat
    I wouldn’t be concerned with Sands making the team, his spot is going to be the one that they rotate relievers to AAA and back. Probably why Hoffman didn’t make the team over him, since he has no options.
  23. Danchat
    So after two years of free agency, the only worthwhile player they signed was Correa... yep, turns out the only giving out 1 year deals to borderline players isn't a viable strategy to building a team that can win a single playoff game. Gotta hope the plan to only acquire pitchers via trade over free agency works out better.

    Rocco just said that Buxton is going to start the year as the DH... yikes, the injuries really are mounting.
