    History of working the 9th inning, as well. High leverage, I wager.
  2. USAFChief
    Ah, are they though??
  3. USAFChief
    Lemon juice?
  4. USAFChief
    I'd take Rogers over thr next 2 months.
  5. USAFChief
    Ladies and gentlemen, we got him!
  6. USAFChief
    Best of luck to Gio, Mrs Gio, and any/all future Gio's!

    This is the "Roster Moves" thread.
  8. USAFChief
    I predict he stays in Washington. Fauling that, San Diego for 2 years, then the Dodgers at the 2024 deadline.
  9. USAFChief
    Max Meyer: TJS. Unfortunate.
  10. USAFChief
    I'm confused. You ARE advocating standing pat? Or you aren't? Please educate us mere "fans."
  11. USAFChief
    Since it's going to take the best offer, make it now and get more from the player.
  12. USAFChief
    Mets pick up Tyler Naquin from Cinci, for minor league fill. I might be mistaken, but my estimation is that puts the Mets payroll just over 290 bazillion. Or about 100 bazillion less than the Dodgers.
  13. USAFChief
    That's not remotely enough. The Twins likely can't even put together a package that would be enough.
  14. USAFChief
    Someone let Falvine know it's legal to trade PRIOR to the last hour before the deadline.
  15. USAFChief
    Nope.
  16. USAFChief
    Edit: I'm a dope. You are correct. Polanco.
  17. USAFChief
    Which other teams will be dipping their toes in those waters? In addition to the prospect cost, you have to pay the man. And he's already turned down a contract larger than the GDP of several small nations.
  18. USAFChief
    Also leads the team in PAs. Pop quiz (no fair looking it up): who is 2nd on the team in PAs? Truth in advertising, I would not have gotten this correct.

    ...the problem is "and pray for rain." Everyone knows it never rains in Southern California.
  20. USAFChief
    I'd say getting Archer out of the rotation is a higher priority than Bundy. And I'd take Smeltzer over Archer too. Since this is the "ideal" thread I'd say ideally none of those three ever make another start, but if we're prioritizing, start with Archer.
  21. USAFChief
    Now you're backtracking on your original claim the Twins benefitted by waiting to trade Cruz. There's no reason to believe the Reds would turn down a deal today that they'll accept Tuesday.
  22. USAFChief
    Bringing in Duran for the 8th gives you the best chance of there BEING a bottom 9. I'd bring in Duran there every time, and hope for the best in the 9th. If I hope for the best in the 8th, I might not even use my best reliever late in a tie game. Duran HAS to pitch in that game.
  23. USAFChief
    I'd say the reasoning might be: pitching Duran in the 8th gives you the best chance of there being a bottom of the 9th. With the bonus if he has a quick 8th you might also get him for the 9th. If you give up a run in the 8th, there's a strong likelihood there ISN'T a bottom 9, and now you've lost a close game late and your best reliever spent the entire game sitting on his ***. As an aside, Duffey HASNT been better lately. He's had some better results, but not due to better pitching, just better luck. He fools virtually nobody. He gets virtually zero bad swings. Almost every swing against him is powerful and well timed. He's not reliable, no matter if he's had a couple scoreless innings recently.
  24. USAFChief
    I'd settle for Mahle and two backend relievers. That maybe puts Archer in the pen and gives us a massive upgrade every 5th day. Maybe something like Barnhardt to plug the hole at catcher, although how much of an upgrade that represents isn't clear to me. But get it done. All should be in place this weekend. Every single game matters at this point. They don't even know who Sunday's starter is, ferpetesakes. I completely reject the idea there's some reason it could be done Tuesday but not today. Or some massive difference in cost. Make it so.
  25. USAFChief
    They're giving him enough rope to climb out of the deep hole he put himself in. Which is more rope than he's earned. Who should sit so Sano can hit? Arraez? Miranda? Buxton? Tell us.
