Sanchez is out for the year, probably. I sign gausmann and move him to relief.
-
Of course, advanced stats take into account the NL/AL thing.....he's a good pitcher. He has very good stuff. I get that you like him, but if you discount every NL pitcher, and every AL pitcher on a playoff team, and every pitcher with more than 2 years of control left....who is left?
-
Nothing worse than signing bad players, and then playing them at least half a year......
-
I hear Morgan isn't open to the new stathead thing, so maybe not him.....
-
I am going to assume that means the Reds aren't selling......so cross off some possible trade targets....
-
I assume, then, you won't make a trade of a good prospect either? Because a good prospect is worth more than a 2nd round pick, not to mention what multiple good prospects are worth compared to one 2nd round pick....

He has 5 years of control left. Other than last year, and Miami, I can't think of pitchers like that being traded. Here is a good write-up on him. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/can-john-means-build-on-a-strong-rookie-season/

I'm perusing the starting pitchers that were good last year....there aren't a lot on non-playoff teams. Especially if you eliminate any with only a year or two in the majors. Other than the Marlins pitcher last year, it's hard to think of starters traded with more than 2-3 years of control left. I think trading is going to be difficult, and pricey.

Thorpe should move to the pen now, and not spend another year as a starter. Just as Rogers should have moved a year earlier.

I don't think Astudillo is a good hitter long term, and I don't think he's a good catcher. I hope they have someone else here to start the year at catcher behind Garver
-
They have fifty to seventy million in payroll space. Why not sign good players? You think a contending team should go into the year with two rookie pitchers, and sign a guy that is going to miss one fourth of his starts, so you need another rookie for those starts?

Except zero sum isn't better. And, Pineda is highly rated, not someone no one had thought of and no one is interested in. The post I responded to said find someone better, that no one is interested in....

Front Page: Every Team Wants Zack Wheeler
Mike Sixel replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Over paid, as in they won't be good? Or that they might be worth a few million less? Because those are two different things.... -
Find a better pitcher that no one is interested in? How does that work? Where do people think these pitchers are going to come from? If you think a team should wait until it is good to sign free agents, you get the list that is available at that point.... Not some list that doesn't exist.

No issues. I still don't understand list year's playing time.... And am, therefore, concerned about next year's. So we agree!
-
Maybe don't run the ball on third and ten, twice in the second half, basically giving up the drive? Play to win....
-
I'm not sure what that has to do with wanting him to play more than he oddly did last year, even after Cron was ineffective.
-
One win against a real team, and that was lucky. Hopefully next year they will change my mind.
-
I will be disappointed with the team if Garver doesn't play more....
-
I really don't think people understand these posts....
-
There are not contracts that can be voided if there is a suspension..... Because a team could, theoretically do something to get a player suspended....
-
Lock to sign a high priced free agent pitcher? Lock?
-
Then they'd have plenty of money to sign a third baseman if they want..... Which was the point. Either they don't big on pitching, it they can spend elsewhere. And next year's free agent pitching class is meh.
