    I agree he's interesting. Can they sign him? They have freed up $600k so far compared to slot but I have a feeling that's going the high school lefty pitcher.
  2. DJL44
    They would need to trade Royce Lewis to get that.
  3. DJL44
    Watch how much attendance tanks if they're out of the wild card race in September. It could be 150k less.
  4. DJL44
    There is a creative way for the Twins to not take on additional salary but help the Jays reduce their luxury tax number. Randy Dobnak is "off the books" for luxury tax calculations but he's still owed a little more than $3M.
  5. DJL44
    Most prospects rated lower than 10 will not contribute much to the future of the team. Those guys are usually utility players, 5th starters or relief pitchers.
  6. DJL44
    The Jays have a strong incentive to dump his salary to get under the competitive balance tax threshold.
  7. DJL44
    Paxton is likely to pitch worse at Target Field than he did in Dodger Stadium. He's not anything special but he's better than putting Festa or Varland out there again.
  8. DJL44
    Paxton raises the floor. He's better than their worst pitcher and costs about 1% of their total budget for salary.
  9. DJL44
    Kirilloff's lack of a glove, bat or good health.
  10. DJL44
    How about Winder?
  11. DJL44
    He's only ever been a starter but I wonder if he could pitch better in relief than Okert or Thielbar. Paxton is better than the worst pitcher on the roster so there is little downside acquiring him as long as it doesn't prevent them from acquiring someone else later.
  12. DJL44
    Because I don't believe in the long-term success of anyone with that kind of injury history. Use him while he's available.
  13. DJL44
    I would fast track Prielipp to the Twins bullpen.
  14. DJL44
    I think Tom Kelly lives in Maplewood which means he can't watch the games due to the Comcast dispute.
  15. DJL44
    If Paddack is out then the priority has to be another starting pitcher. They probably won't make the playoffs with Festa starting regularly.
  16. DJL44
    We have several pitchers with a higher ERA than FIP lately. The defense is not helping out.
  17. DJL44
    Austin Martin is no longer a prospect. He's played in 49 games which is > 45 days on the active roster.
  18. DJL44
    I do enjoy watching them play the Brewers. Both teams are entertaining.
  19. DJL44
    This org will send Lee to AAA.
  20. DJL44
    Manny Margot helps you not score now AND later.
  21. DJL44
    The bullpen held scoreless until the 11th inning. They could use a good LH reliever but otherwise they're fine if they get Stewart back. They need their 3 best hitters back in the lineup.
  22. DJL44
    Except Margot is in the lineup now, the LH batter is gone and you're basically guaranteeing Margot will face a RHP twice. They pull Wallner and Julien early so the only advantage is the switch hitters Castro, Lee and Santana get to hit LH. The opposing manager is not going to keep a lefthanded reliever in the game for multiple innings. Wait him out and the LHP will be gone anyway.
  23. DJL44
    I would appreciate a deep dive on Morris. What pitches does he throw? What is he good at and what is he working on?
  24. DJL44
    I looked up his stats before this season and his pinch hitting was worse than his overall hitting (.188) but it wasn't this bad. The crazy part about that stat is he's almost always brought in to hit a lefty pitcher so he should be in a situation to succeed. I'm pretty sure the opposing manager didn't swap pitchers every time.
  25. DJL44
    This was inevitable and probably necessary. Don't give up on him after he goes back to AAA.
