    He's not getting paid to "not be great" though. He's getting paid to provide ace-level production, which he's not doing.

    If Price can't turn it around, this team is done.

    Excellent!
  4. User Name
    Sure thing.

    I bet the Sox sign Edwin Encarnacion.

    There goes any productivity I may have mustered at work today. My boss thanks you Hugh.

    I'm a lefty. I threw a knuckler for a while. They hit it.

    Don't buy it. I bet they'd trade with the Sox if they overpaid. Therein lies the issue, however.

    I'm arguing that they're the main factor. Almost every elbow/shoulder catastrophic injury can be traced back to a mechanical problem.
  10. User Name
    It's not that good mechanics "can help". It's that they are usually the deciding factor between a long, productive career and Mark Prior/Anthony Reyes.

    Velasquez is a mechanical mess. Nola is and will be pretty good IMO. Don't know a lot about Eickoff.
  12. User Name
    Probably Gray, Smyly, Paxton, Archer. The Rays are known to deal from their pitching depth (and they're deep in SP when a couple other surgery guys come back).
  13. User Name
    Intentionally left out. Specially Carrasco, whose mechanics I thoroughly dislike, although I love the stuff/poise.
  14. User Name
    The Sox (Papi and Betts especially) own Archer hard. He's 1-7 with a 5.67 ERA against the Red Sox. All Porcello has to do: Not f*** this up! He has a 3.09 ERA vs the Rays. Hopefully those trends continue.

    That is also false, as it depends on the pitcher and, greatly, his mechanics and repertoire.

    Then they turn back into pumpkins, like Baltimore did.

    That could not be farther from the truth. Guys with inverted W's and L arm actions, as well as guys who throw a very high percentage of breaking pitches are significantly more at risk for elbow/shoulder troubles than guys with cleaner mechanics and are not as over-reliant on breaking pitches, like Kluber. Any pitcher is liable to break down at any moment, but the risk percentage is significantly higher for some guys than others. Chris O'Leary's work is a good barometer of the importance on mechanics as a barometer for probability of injury.

    Mid-season. I think it's a different beast.
  19. User Name
    Syndergaard, Kluber, Salazar, Smyly, Gray, Bumgarner, Archer, Paxton, Stroman, Kershaw, Urias, Giolito, et al. All come with inherent risk, but youth/cleaner mechanics than some of the guys I always say "Oh God no" to.

    in b4 argument about clutch
  21. User Name
    The Marlins are thin at IF. Moncada is probably the headliner of any Fernandez deal, and I would not do it. Fernandez is a high-maintenance mechanics guy who throws a lot of breakers, has already had TJS, and doesn't provide the IP bulk of a true top-end guy. No thanks.
  22. User Name
    Y'all are funny.
  23. User Name
    All three guys have at least three years of team control.
  24. User Name
    He's been with the team for less than half a season. Struggles while adjusting should have been expected.
  25. User Name
    You don't dig a hole to fill another one up. Also, why would the Marlins want Betts when they have an All-Star OF?
