    Maxamuz: With the news James Shields is back on the trade market, who buys? LAD? BOS? 12:46 Dave Cameron: During this six start stretch where he’s “fixed” his problems and posted a 1.71 ERA, he’s running a 4.85 FIP/5.10 xFIP. No one should be very interested unless the White Sox are literally giving him away.

    When I think of Number 3 starters, Ervin Santana is exactly the type of pitcher that comes to mind.

    Dave Cameron mentioned Deadline Premium trade costs at least twice in his chat from today. IMO, if Santana is being under-paid (and I think he is), a team, especially a contender, would want him more now than in the offseason. They'd get him sooner, they'd get him for a playoff run, and they'd pay him less than he's worth. He's the kind of player a contending team should target now. I think now is when his trade value is highest. He's the kind of pitcher Baltimore should target.

    and a lot of people are forgetting his buyout of 1M. So it's 2/28 on top of what he's still owed
  5. jimmer
    He's under contract with the team. Doesn't mean it has to be as GM. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
  6. jimmer
    They could do that to get an even better prospect, but I don't see it happening. Anyway, I've read a ton of posts on whether or not we should trade him and I still am firmly in the trade him if you can camp. I can' t see us competing next year at all, so to me, keeping him makes no sense. Just my opinion. BTW, for those who say he's under-paid, he's already been worth over 14M and there's still 60+ games left.

    That and if you think he's getting under-paid (and by the market he may be), GMs look at that when determining what they want in return.

    Well , prepare yourself then, cause Nunez and/or a reliever might not even be traded.

    I'd trade Rosario or Grossman before I traded Palka. Rosario is best served as a 4th OF, not a starter. Been saying for a long time,

    Super 2 for 2017? :-)
  11. jimmer
    And if Rosario was one of the OF he had in mind that are ready to stick, Smith signed him too.

    Actually, I've been saying DH. I don't think he'll end up a serviceable 3B, and I have never have thought that he would.

    I'm saying, in this instance, seems the amount of easy fly balls as opposed to line drives (on top of the many grounders to the 1B-2B side) suggest his BABIP is a product of his swing more than just bad luck. So you know, I'm a huge Kepler fan, basically since we got him, so there's no trying to prove one thing over another here, just thinking that in this instance, it has more to do with his swing than anything else. BTW, his BABIP is improving.

    The award has gotten much better in that regard in recent years when the voting got changed. Still needs work, but it's been better.
  15. jimmer
    Well, even if he didn't mean it literally, it was still a statement saying he thinks his defense is really good. It hasn't been.
  16. jimmer
    uh. Maybe.. :-)

    You better you better you Betts!

    You must be talking B-Reference WAR, right?

    Unfortunately, it seems your opinion of Ryan's work second time around centers around you buying into last season's somewhat success even though there were glaring reasons not to believe that the talent on the team could repeat what was really a flukey (and wonderful) season. Many fans did. Pohlad said he and Ryan did and Pohlad said he still thinks there was no problem with that line of thinking. For me, the fact that Ryan believed that, with all the signs saying other-wise, was reason enough to fire him (even before taking into account some questionable moves and poor roster construction).

    Tomorrow, I'm going to a AAA game. After that, an AA meeting :-)

    I think most, if not all, did...:-)

    and video games, with a little Bruce Springsteen.

    I think if we look at his spray chart, we might be able to identify why Kepler's BABiP is so low. Focus on the blue dots in the OF and the plethora of green dots at the 2B/1B area. http://www.fangraphs.com/spraycharts.aspx?playerid=12144&position=OF&type=battedball
  24. jimmer
    what is he charged with? :-)
