    I have Scheiber in my 13. He's supposed to be called up for tomorrow's game. Sale, Houck and Whitlock should be back, too, but maybe not until August 10-20th, and then we don't know how good they will be. Schreiber should send Garza to AAA. The next guy back sends Jacques down. The next 1-2 send down a decent pitcher like Murphy or Bernardino, or we trade or DFA Joely or Bleier.

    I'm not so sure he isn't Freakin' Chris Sale's twin. We could also trade Paxton then re-sign him, but that is a rare bird.

    Paxton's injury history makes Nate look like an iron man. Nate missed the 2017 season, but pitched 585 innings in the previous 4 seasons. He pitched in 479 in the previous 3 seasons. Even if you factor in 0 IP for 2017, he pitched: 111 IP previous 2 years 236 IP previous 3 years 390 IP previous 4 years 590 IP previous 5 years (2013-2018 before the extension) 696 IP previous 6 years Paxton missed last year, just like Nate missed 2017 before the 2019 season. His previous IP: 1.1 IP previous 2 years 22 IP previous 3 years 172 IP previous 4 years 332 IP previous 5 years 468 IP previous 6 years It's apples to oranges.

    I did not say I wanted that trade. I just the only way we get a pitcher by trading Paxton is if the pitcher is a prospect. The only teams wanting Paxton are contenders not willing to give up a ML SP'er. I'm not for trading Paxton. I gave up on last year's team and wanted a fire sale, but not this year. Besides, we only have Paxton to trade, this year, for anything useful. If we go on a losing streak, maybe my mind will change by AUG 1st, but I'm still all in on this team.

    We've used 28 pitchers, including 21 with 8 or more IP. We have 13 capable pitchers and no scrubs would be needed, but too many concurrent injuries have forced too many Grazas and Jacques to be used in these type of situations. We've been using depth pitchers for our depth pitchers. We've been going with 2-3 starters for a while, now and counting on 2 pen games every 5 days. I'm kind of amazed we are still in it working with smoke and mirrors on our staff. My hope is some, not likely all, of our injured pitchers will come back and stay healthy, and we no longer see these guys again, this year. Ideal 13 Man staff: SP: Bello, Paxton, Sale, Crawford, Houck Middle RP: Pivetta, Whitlock, Winckowski Short RP: Jansen, Martin, Schreiber, Joely, Bernardino Pitchers I would prefer over Garza, Jacques, Gudino, Ort and maybe a couple others: Murphy Walter Bleier Maybe even Kluber (Kelly will not be back.)

    That was some scary s***!
  7. moonslav59
    I expected we might be, this year. I hope we don't sell, this deadline. If we do, I'll be hoping for 2024. Maybe the reset gets JH to think the same way and spend large, this winter.

    Remember, we traded Vaz, then traded for McGuire. Could they do something like that again for a SP'er? Hard to know. My guess is playing it both ways (sellers and buyers) might be the leading strategy, right now, among those who decide.
  9. moonslav59
    A prospect starter, maybe.

    Woo won 10-2. 2-2 w HR, 2B, BB Kavadas 1-2 w 2BBs Abreu 1-5 w 2B Rafaela 1-3 w 2BBs Sogard Rafaela homered in the completion game loss. POR won their completion game as Dobbins was bashed. Kluber went 2 IP with 1H, 0ER, oBB and 1K. They lost the full game 6-4, but Gambrell pitched well: 6IP, 6H, 2ER, 2BB, 9K Hickey (2-4) HR'd Binelas (2-4) homered Meidroth 2-4 Mayer 1-3 w 2B Rosier 1-3 w 3B

    I’m all for trading Paulino, Drohan, Mata and Jordan for 2 rentals like Stroman and Giolito, unless we lose 6 out of 8 before the deadline. I’m not for trading away top prospects for a long shot chance.
  12. moonslav59
    No offense taken.
  13. moonslav59
    So, like 25 other teams' fans can scream this, too, right?
  14. moonslav59
    Why is this on the Bloom thread? Should he fire Cora?
  15. moonslav59
    And what the players do on the field may adversely affect what the FO does at the deadline.
  16. moonslav59
    It’s not easy to get a team ti trade a good pitcher before the deadline. They prefer to wait until the desperation hour sets in and better offers are made.
  17. moonslav59
    We can't keep losing games like this one and the last one in OAK. My confidence is beginning to waiver.
  18. moonslav59
    I'd be fine with ERod, coming back, despite the worries about his issues, last year. I'm not sure he'd be my first pick. If he finishes out the year, well, he will get a better contract on the open market.
  19. moonslav59
    At this point, that money looks safer than it did in March. Okay, throw out ERod from the list, if you please. The point remains the same. It won't cost much to get one of the rentals. (We could even get two.)
  20. moonslav59
    Yes- Duvall not Dugo. Duvall is also .707 in June with 7 rbi in 40 PAs, which is about 105 over 650.x I responded to the post that said "Duvall continues to du-little." He has not been bad in July and has been very good over the last 7 games.

    Everybody get ready? Everybody Wong-Chang, tonight!

    Mi Casas es tu casas.
  23. moonslav59
    His 1.039 OPS in his previous 7 games really sucks.
  24. moonslav59
    Maybe he is the one guy Cora should be resting. You'd think the 4 day AS vacation might have helped.
  25. moonslav59
    If you go by BTV, do the math... Current Value of 2 month Rentals 9.7 Giolito CWS 8.8 Montgomery STL 8.5 Snell SDP 6.1 Stroman CHC 5.7 ERod DET 2.1 W Miley MIL Current value of possible return players: 9 Alcantara & Romero 6 Paulino 5 Drohan 4 Perales, Wikelman, EValdez & Walter 3 Meidroth & E R-C 2.5 Hickey & Brannon 2.4 Abreu, DHam, Jordan & Monegro 2.2 Bastrado, Mata & Murphy 2.1 Encarnacion 2.0 Guerrero, Castro, Refsnyder, Bonaci, Fernandez, Blalock & Lugo There should be no need to trade "prized prospects" for any of these rentals listed. I would probably not trade Romero for any of them, but it might take that.
