  1. A perfect example of why measuring earned vs unearned runs is silly.....
  2. I really don't like Adrianza at first. I just don't get it.
  3. I've been posting that here for about a month. He would be the number 1 hitting (and probably fWAR) 1B in all of baseball, and yet he's playing half the time.....and he's playing the position most likely to result in injury. I get Mauer Deja Vu.....
  4. How? None of the free agents signed in the off season by any clubs have been great. The guys in AAA to start the year have been hurt or bad. They traded for two of the top RPs traded for at the deadline.
  5. I was just having that golf talk with myself. Turned out the same.... I don't get the angst here at all. Plenty of young players are making impacts around the league. Pitchers get hurt, get them up when they are healthy and throwing hard. If the FO thinks they can help, who cares how old they are?
  6. Thanks. All fair.
  7. I think they should put him in the bullpen and see what happens, for this year.
  8. I'm curious why? He was decent to good last year......not great, of course.
  9. Probably, agreed. But then, they could afford more this year, compared to last, and didn't. So who knows what the budget really is.
  10. Among left fielders with more than 150 at bats, he's around 24th in WAR this year. One FWAR for the year. That's not worth nine to eleven million per year, on a team on a budget, desperate for pitching next year. I suspect he's back, but I also wouldn't be shocked if he isn't, if they plan to buy pitching, which I have my doubts about.
  11. It's not like he was good in relief last year either, but sure, try it and see if it works. I have doubts.
  12. I'd cut him. But we all know that isn't happening.
  13. He was just an example name. Call up the guys with stuff. That's all I want.
  14. I don't agree at all. That exactly why Stewart was on the roster. Same with yesterday. I don't know what people want him to do when the starter is awful.
  15. He's given up more than three earned runs 2 of 7 starts. I'll take that. Once was four, once was five. Even four isn't going to kill this team. He's gone six innings five of his last seven starts.
  16. In low leverage situations, maybe. I'd rather they just start calling up the late 2020 starters and make them RPs. Gaterol, Jax, whomever has stuff. But this isn't happening, so in the meantime, please bullpen him.
  17. Roster resource, now on fangraphs, has all your roster questions answered, iirc.
  18. He was 4 of 6 the day before. At some point, it's him.
  19. I'd DFA Perez and send Stewart down for good. I also don't understand letting Schoop hit with to outs and men in second and third, not with two good hitters on the bench.
  20. Not getting Stroman here, or signing Keuchel, is going to hurt the rest of the way. And Stroman for next year also. Didn't need them....... Much more important to have guys pitching here, maybe, in two or three years, when Sano and Cruz and Rosario are gone....
