Mine, too. I only mentioned the A's starters, because it was well-known they were being shopped and the return for Manaea was rather weak. He had a BTV of about 14. I suggested many trades accepted by BTV. Herer were some: Downs for Manaea & Piscotty (Neg 8.6 value) Duran, Dalbec, Downs, Lugo & Wong for Manaea, Langeliers & Trivino Duran & Jordan for Manaea, Pache & Trivino But, I also once suggested Wikelman, Jordan and Seabold for Manaea & Trivino Bassitt had a value around 17. I once offered Mata, Winckowski, Seabold & Sawamura for Bassitt, Piscotty & Trivino

Had we traded for Bassitt and or Manaea, Houck and or Whitlock would still be in the pen.
-
The two prospects are doing very well. Plus... 2022 fWAR 0.1 JBJ 0.1 Renfroe And I was one who scratched his head over this trade and got scalped for doing so. -
Agreed, and we are still feeling the affects of the last time we went "all in." Finding the happy medium is what I think we are looking for, but I don't think the top brass viewed 2021 or 2022 as a year to even approach going "all in." Maybe 2023 or 2024, if ever again.
-
You say it well.
-
If pitchers were axed over tiny sample sizes like this, nobody would be left. I'm not saying I think he's good- just that he's likely better than 2-3 guys in the pen, right now, and I might add Diekman to that list, soon.
-
The day after we signed him, I went on record as saying it was a bad signing, and why 2 years, when hardly anyone gets that from Bloom.
-
He was okay in '19 (101 ERA+/ 1.29 WHIP/ .722 OPS Against) and had just 37 IP from '20-'21, due mostly to injuries. I'm not tooting his horn, but I'd axe 2-3 other guys before him.
-
I think with Kike being a FA after this year, and JBJ's offense being a huge question mark, keeping Duran made some sense. I doubt it would have taken much to get Manaea.

The starters have now caught up... Game by Game Breakdown Starters IP/ER vs Relievers IP/ER SP- RP L 5.0/3 - 5.0/1 (2 ghost runs allowed) L 5.2/4 - 2.1/0 W 3.1/3 - 5.2/1 L 4.1/1 - 3.2/2 W 4.1/3 - 4.2/0 W 5.0/2 - 4.0/5 L 2.0/5 - 7.0/4 W 5.2/0 - 3.1/0 W 5.0/0 - 4.0/1 L 4.2/4 - 4.1/4 W 4.2/1 - 4.1/1 L 4.0/5 - 5.0/1 L 5.0/2 - 4.0/1 W 5.0/2- 4.0/0 L 4.0/0- 5.2/3 L 4.0/ 0- 4.0/5 L 7.0/2- 1.0/4 L 4.2/2- 5.0/3 (plus 1 ghost runner) The pen has done better in 8 games. The starters have done better in 8. They did about the same in 2 games. The pen as done okay to well in 11 games. The starters have done okay to well in 11 games.

He's still not the first RP'er I'd demote or cut loose. He's not even second.
-
To start the season, yes. (Houck, too, but Sale got hurt.) It does not change the fact that he's a better starter than they are.
-
True dat. But, if everyone was healthy and pitching near expectations, none of these guys, except a healthy Paxton (is that an oxymoron?) is a top 5 SP'er on this team. Eovaldi Sale Houck Whitlock Pivetta/Paxton Wacha Hill
-
Maybe he meant not good enough to be starters.
-
From day one, I shook my head at his signing. I know it wasn't much money, but Bloom has given so few contracts longer than 1 year, that I wondered why Diekman.
-
Perfect analogy.
-
I'd say 95% of posters want him back- just not at $28+M x 6+ years.
-
Exactly, and why choose to rest Devers vs a lefty starter?
-
Bogey has been the only consistent hitter, so far.
-
Wow! A crooked number!
-
Knowing how to spell Wikelman is more exciting.
-
Is Devers out for a reason or just a "rest day?" If it's a rest day, why not choose a day vs a lefty?
-
Updated. The starters are catching up.
-
He looked really focused the last 2 innings of his last start. He needs to bring that from batter 1 on.
