    They also weren't going to re-sign or QO Vaz. It was a good deal.
  2. mvp 78
    It's the right move, Bleier just isn't a very good pitcher at the moment.
  3. mvp 78
    I think Mata is still in line for a bullpen role. Most of the bullpen guys in WOO could be released at anytime and nothing of value would be lost.

    Lefty specialist Richard Bleier's 2023 splits: LHB 1278 OPS (597 career), 4.95 xFIP RHB 475 OPS (774 career), 3.91 xFIP

    The concern is that the LHPs they are brining out of the pen right now aren't great. Bleier is DFA worthy. Bernardino is here because of a DFA. Joely is still in ST mode in AAA, but he's a better option than either of those two. His FB was slow in his first appearance, but ticked back up on Saturday. Not sure how long they will keep him down in WOO if Bleier continues to look worrisome.
  6. mvp 78
    I agree about the "not sitting part" which is why my last sentence suggests the reason for them keeping him in AAA is full time at bats.
  7. mvp 78
    Replacing guys like Kiké, Arroyo and Mondesi via FA shouldn't be a tough task. It's replacing upper echelon guys that is hard to do.

    Aldo Ramirez: hasn't pitched since he was traded Jay Groome: was in line to be SDP's 5th starter, now has 7.99 ERA in AAA Frank German: sucked at AAA for CHW was DFA'd Jacob Wallace: repeating AA, 7.84 BB/9 Connor Seabold: 5.30 ERA in COL pen, top 6% BB rate but everything else is mediocre to bad
  9. mvp 78
    Nah, it'd be so that he stays down this year because they ostensibly have Mondesi, but can put Hamilton on the taxi squad NEXT season when Mondesi is gone. Then he could stay on the taxi squad for '24, '25 and '26 as a bench guy. Is it THE reason they are using to keep him down? No clue. At this point, I can't see him being worse than Dalbec. He also doesn't have a split vs LHP/RHP this season. I'd put him against LHP instead of Valdez for sure. Maybe they just really value him a lot and want to give him full time at bats and are willing to give Valdez part time at bats?

    Not only was it multiple times through the order at that time, but it was a LHB coming up. Vs LHB: 853 OPS, 365 wOBA, 5.62 FIP, WHIP 1.58 Vs RHB: 505 OPS, 233 wOBA, 2.55 FIP, WHIP 1.07 You can sell me on him trying to go after a tough righty like Turner, but he struggles against lefties no matter what inning. Giving a lefty a second chance to see him is basically putting a ball on a tee.
  11. mvp 78
    If they honestly thought Dalbec was the emergency call button, he should have been playing SS in WOO more than once a week.
  12. mvp 78
    Holding onto an option year for later use?
  13. mvp 78
    We already know Dalbec's major flaws: he can't field or hit.
  14. mvp 78
    Barnes '23: 15 INN, 9.6 K%, 4.2 BB%, 3.60 ERA, 4.41 xFIP, 4 seamer velo down 2 mph
  15. mvp 78
    Kavadas still has a big, long swing. We'll see if he can adjust over the summer and heat up a little. His OPS is 80 points higher in 23 than in 22 at AA. Yorke deserves the 4 spot. He's been playing great this year. The jumps for Drohan, Hickey, Meidroth, Abreu and Hamilton are appropriate. I like Meidroth, but I think they believe he's just an advanced college bat who is limited to 2B and will get stuck at the higher levels. I think the Walter, Lugo, Paulino tier isn't very strong. There's a valid criticism to state that Valdez should have been above them as we know that he's at least a platoon MLB bat.
  16. mvp 78
    Mayer's OPS is now up to 996 after his recent HR splurge (3 in last 5 games). Had a 763 OPS at the end of April. Has a 1516 OPS over the last 6 games.
  17. mvp 78
    They won the series. Keep doing that and they are golden.
  18. mvp 78
    That his brain was in the cancerous testicle. One in a million shot.
  19. mvp 78
    Doesn’t seem like it. At this point, it’s very telling. Why put him on the 40 man and not use him?
  20. mvp 78
    I don’t know what the f*** he is. Hamilton should have been called up. At least he can field 2b/ss and pinch run.
  21. mvp 78
    Need to dig into the microfiche.
  22. mvp 78
    He doesn’t want to do it. He was a pitcher in college and a decent one.
  23. mvp 78
    Half of his brain was in that one testicle that got removed. Sad situation…
  24. mvp 78
    Both are RHB. Houck sucks vs LHB. The splits are terrible.
  25. mvp 78
    Pinch hit Dalbec K. The most obvious outcome.
