    Is the above quote not stating that the 4/5 guys don't matter and that the ace is what needs to be fixed instead?
  2. mvp 78
    I don't agree with this assertion. When someone says "we need to fix our 4 and 5 starters" but another poster says "why are you worried about the 4 and 5 starters when Price is pitching like a 4" is basically putting the larger portion of the blame pie on Price.

    Hey, I'm not the one saying he needs to be replaced...
  4. mvp 78
    Your ability to sense sarcasm is sorely lacking.

    Price has 13 QS. Clay has 3 QS. They are like the same pitcher. It's just one digit off!
  6. mvp 78
    It's true. He has less wild pitches over his career than Price.
  7. mvp 78
    Ah, that makes sense. I couldn't figure out who was missing.

    Gave up 4 or more runs in 28% of his starts last year. He's at 7 for 54% this year. Here's his game log from my favorite site: http://www.fangraphs.com/statsd.aspx?playerid=3543&position=P&type=&gds=&gde=&season=2015 He just can't stay health and pitch well at the same time.

    Chris isn't on the 40 man roster.
  10. mvp 78
    The only have 24 men on the roster as of today?
  11. mvp 78
    Ah, I had misremembered the 2016-2017 part. That makes me feel a little better.
  12. mvp 78
    If they could get him without giving up Benintendi, Moncada or anyone on the MLB roster, I'd definitely do it. Espinoza + Devers + Swihart + Owens

    My concern is: Koji: HR9 2.1 Kimbrel: HR9 0.8 Also, Koji is older and the miles on his arm force him to be a little more micro managed than Kimbrel.
  14. mvp 78
    Maybe the Giants steal his powers in even years? If so, he's due for a good year in 2017.
  15. mvp 78
    Is that a yes?
  16. mvp 78
    I thought the ban was through 2017?
  17. mvp 78
    From MLBTR: Despite good results overall, closer Jonathan Papelbon has outperformed his peripheral stats and seen a velocity drop, so Washington could be looking to make a midseason closer addition for the second straight year.

    http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/07/Guardians-release-joba-chamberlain.html Joba was released by the Guardians. Should the Sox grab him while some of the bullpen arms are hurting?
  19. mvp 78
    Well, I hope Dombrowski gives weight to an entire career over the most recent season. Couldn't this year just be a blip?
  20. mvp 78
    What if he pitches like a #2 the rest of the way? He could get his ERA down below 4.50, have about 170 IP at year end if it breaks right for him. I think he could replicate his 2012 numbers this year.
  21. mvp 78
    From the same article: Kenta Maeda exceeded the 100-inning plateau in his start today, thus unlocking another $250K bonus in his Dodgers contract (hat tip to ESPN.com’s Doug Padilla). Maeda is only guaranteed $3MM per season from 2016 through 2023, though he can collect significant bonuses based on innings pitched, starts and making the Opening Day roster. Thus far, Maeda has received an extra $1.65MM in bonuses this season. Even if he maxes out those bonuses over the eight years under contract, Maeda is already looking like a bargain for the Dodgers given how well he has pitched in his first MLB season. Cries in my beer...
  22. mvp 78
    No, but Benintendi is being traded for Teheran per the Herald.
  23. mvp 78
    Well, thanks to Ben and the international signings after Moncada, we can't get Moncada part 2 if we tried right now.
  24. mvp 78
    2014: 5.34 ERA 1.386 WHIP It's not like his current year was completely unexpected.
  25. mvp 78
    The reasons this offseason to keep him were: $13M for a starting pitcher is great value he has tremendous upside you would have to spend at least that much to replace him None of the above has changed as far as I know. Do I agree with picking up his option? Nope. I still think it will happen though.
