Guys, wake up. Garza is not happening. Swapping one young, inconsistent project of a pitcher for another is lateral move. We'll move Miller to the pen or the minors when Lester and Buchholz come back, and run with a rotation of Lester, Beckett, Buchholz, Lackey, Wakefield. Until then, we're stuck. Either Miller or someone equally reliable.
-
Come on kid, get out of it.

Miller is uniquely unsuited for bullpen work. He gets into most of his trouble in the early innings of his starts, and his adjustment that was giving is hope of effectiveness this year involved taking even longer to warm up. He's a starter or a bust. One of the two. Those are the choices.
-
Oh no...
-
Miller's velocity is noticeably down. He was sitting 93 on the Fenway gun, he's 89-90 tonight. It seems to be causing him to nibble, which he doesn't nearly have the command for.
-
Aceves is incredibly valuable where he is, and Miller's numbers so far this year are better than Doubront's were when he was up. None of the options we have are definitely better than Miller.

Don't be ridiculous. The Andrew Miller experiment isn't "over" after one rough start against a good team. Try not to let your emotional state based on the moment determine your your impression of the state of the roster. Miller didn't show us anything we didn't know was there.
-
Well that went about as badly as it could possibly have gone.
-
C'mon big guy, let's keep the lid on shall we?
-
Looks like the magic of that pregame adjustment is wearing off. He's got to learn how to get out of the gate consistently. It's the big thing with him. His command is OK after about the second inning but that doesn't help you if you're thrown 60 pitches through 2.

If I have to deal Reddick+ for Beltran or Ethier, and can get away with a much smaller price for Melky Cabrera, I look hard at Melky. I imagine the Royals wouldn't object to moving him with Lorenzo Cain in the wings. In fact it might be very important for Cain's development that they do so. So you might be able to get away with a good deal there. All we really need is a guy who plays McDonald's role better than McDonald plays it. Melky can do that. And if you had to pay more than a project with upside (say, Che-Hsuan Lin or Chih-Hsian Chiang) to bring him in, under the circumstances I'd be rather surprised.
-
Why are you restricting it to the 40-man? The Mets are a possible place you could deal a guy like Lavarnway and get them to buy the idea that he's a catcher. They don't have a great 1Bman at the moment so they can afford to deal with the consequences if he turns out to be "just" a hitter that needs his glove hidden at 1B.

Appeal until Crawford gets back, then serve the suspension. That way we keep Reddick in the lineup for 4 more days with no Drew controversy. -
Should we broach the possibility that maybe Reddick IS what he appears? Not a .390 hitter, that's not necessarily what I mean, but he's always hit for a high average and built his offense on his ability to make contact and drive the ball, it shouldn't shock anyone that he can hit for a high average and drive the ball in the big leagues too. If this kid is a .300 hitter at the big league level -- and with his toolset he easily could be -- then he needs to be given a chance to stick. If he turns into Francoeur, at least he had a shot. But I think he can do better than that, especially if he can show a bit more opposite field ability as he matures.
-
I disagree. We aren't going to pitch our way to anything this year, that means the lineup 1 thru 9 needs to be awesome, not just pretty good.
-
And I say again: The timetable for compensating teams in trades like this one is different from the timetable for paying actual player salaries. It comes out of a different checkbook too IIRC. Someone's playing a shell game to try to keep their team.
-
I disagree. They're still saving money on the deal even if they ship some cash along. If anything this demonstrates how desperate the Mets are to clear salary. After all cutting another team a check for player salary has a different timetable than paying the salary itself.
-
I hate 'em. I miss the old road red and gray.
-
Sure. That's the kind of lineup we'd have.
-
Beltran bats 6th behind Ortiz. And he bats second before Crawford does.
-
They're blustering, No harm in throwing some words around in case you can get someone to bite. There's still plenty of time to panic and sell low at 7/31 if you can't.
