    Buying is definitely the WORST way to go. It should be the last resort.
  2. mvp 78
    I think it's clear that the pipeline isn't there. Bloom still isn't really drafting rotation guys either. The plan is to be determined I guess?
  3. mvp 78
    Need to pay a premium for Urias' cool glasses. He's probably a better bet than Ohtani though for what you are paying.
  4. mvp 78
    Trade and extension is the best way IMO.
  5. mvp 78
    And Masa is pretty pretty pretty good...
  6. mvp 78
    Yes, if they liked him enough to give him the offer in the first place, they probably should have sucked it up for 2023 and had Kluber AND Eovaldi in the rotation. Wow you went over? Imagine going over accidentally and getting a worse QO pick or something silly like that!
  7. mvp 78
    He walked it back a little while later, but probably had a "Come to Alex" meeting by that point.

    Nick Pivetta 7/1/22-5/24/23: ERA 6.08 xFIP 4.55 K% 9.12 BB% 4.24 GSv2 41 QS 3 GS 25 He's been a little unlucky, but doesn't have a high enough ceiling to keep around for a rebound. Next!
  9. mvp 78
    His EV on 4/4 was 97 mph! That 091 BABIP seems pretty damn lucky to me. He was a 4.50 ERA guy from 21-22. Now he's pitching worse. It's not worth it to keep him around.
  10. mvp 78
    The ceiling was a very good rotation: Sale - coming back to form Paxton - coming back to form Kluber - pitching like last year (mid rotation guy) Bello - improving to #2 status Whitlock - becoming a #3 type The floor was: Sale - injury or bad performance Paxton - doesn't make it back on the field Kluber - injury Bello - regression or just pitches like the bad version from last year Whitlock - injury Pivetta - is Pivetta Most likely outcome is something in between.

    Sox offered him more, but pulled their higher offer after he looked elsewhere and took too long. Sox had to fill out their roster too and didn't want to wait around. They could have just gone over the CBT and given Nate the original offer.
  12. mvp 78
    Texas was the ONLY option he had. There were no other available offers. Sox pulled there offer off the table a long time before.
  13. mvp 78
    His ERA went to what in 2019? Was it a good season? Any noticeable velo drop in 2019? How many starts did he miss in Aug/Sept of 2018 and what were the innings he was throwing in the starts he made?
  14. mvp 78
    Yes, he's not a very good pitcher.
  15. mvp 78
    They didn't DFA Ort. He's still on the 40 man.
  16. mvp 78
    I guess it depends on if you expected a complete s*** show, a mixed bag or really good. Looks like it's been kind of a mixed bag as can be expected. Things are turning around after the complete s*** show that the season started as. 26th in fWAR when they were 29th or 30th at one point (19th for May).
  17. mvp 78
    He was "passable" last season but has greatly regressed this year. More walks, more hard contact, worse GB rate. He's pitching the way he did in 2020 with the Phillies that got him traded here as an afterthought.
  18. mvp 78
    The Price contract was iffy. The Sale contract was right out as he was clearly injured at the time.
  19. mvp 78
    Here's the timeline for some of you dummies: Sox offer him a big contract. Nate says no. Nate looks elsewhere for a long while. Sox sign a bunch of other free agents. Nate gets the smaller Texas offer. Nate goes back to the Sox and says "can I get your original offer?" Sox say no. Nate signs with the Rangers. The Aristocrats.
  20. mvp 78
    Dominate under pressure? He has a 5.21 ERA in the postseason. LOL
  21. mvp 78
    No, it's because they have 5 shortstops behind him! 1. Xander the amazing 2. Tatis the guy who was to be moved off SS for a long time (negative DRS/negative OAA at SS) 3. Machado now Odor(-36 DRS at 2B) 4. Kim an actual defender 5. Cronenworth? Yes, there is considerable luck involved AND Petco's run suppression. Seth Lugo is a similar pitcher, why aren't those same defenders helping him as much?
  22. mvp 78
    But if you take the lower number of his ERA or xFIP from each year, he's a pretty good pitcher!!! Also, he's only allowed 1 run in the past 25 innings and that's most certainly to continue through October and beyond. Wacha will certainly pitch 200 innings this year just as he has in previous seasons without issue! Good value play by the Padres! Can't believe Bloom called 28 other teams and told them not to sign Wacha either. What a low move! It was pretty brave of the Padres to hold out until the middle of March to sign such an elite pitcher like Michael f***ing Wacha!
  23. mvp 78
    MAYer: 1196 OPS this month for Marcelo
  24. mvp 78
    That's not the reason he signed with the Rangers.
  25. mvp 78
    C'mon man. This is just embarrassing.
