Yup, and...?
-
Perez should be DFA'd or used only in 7+ run difference games. I can see the logic in thinking the downgrade from Whitlock to Richards as the top long man is not as great ass the upgrade at closer, and that the closer is more important, anyway, but I'm just worried about messing up Whitlock by changing his role and expectations, innings per outing and other factors. If we mess Whitlock up, we are toast. (We maybe anyway, especially if we choose the wrong Barnes replacement.) Here is where you wish they never did away with waiver wire deals.
-
Who doubts they are sucking, right now? I want names.
-
We'll never know, because they are never given a long enough time, if they start off slowly.
-
You crack me up.

It didn't work for Chapman. His numbers since the 12 day "rest:" 1.136 OPS Against 7.72 ERA (Your favorite stat)
-
The way the pen looks, now, keeping Whitlock there, next year makes sense. I also think Houck's current profile projects better in the pen, maybe even as our closer. That's why I'd like to see us sign 2 SP'er: one a solid #2 and the other one for depth, in case someone gets hurt or Seabold disappoints. Even with Whitlock and Houck in next year's pen, we may still want to add another decent pen arm to make it 3 pitching additions to go along with a 1Bman.

So, it was a skill for 3 months, then it wasn't. People say it's a skill. lol.
-
He's the obvious best choice, but his role, now is very valuable. Who takes his current role? Richards? Perez? Sawamura? One can argue the closer is the most important pen role, and I would not disagree, but messing with Whitlock, right now, is too scary for me. Leave him where he has done so very well, for us.
-
He is due to regress to the norm... lol.
-
Decisions based on one game are usually wrong ones. With this choice, it seems like all the answers are wrong, so Robles is a valid choice. I'd try Taylor, first.
-
I'm not sure we even protect Feltman. There are only so many open roster spots, and some will be filled by free agents. I agree on Crawford & Winckowski making the 40. Bello makes it, for sure, but yes, he will not be called up in 2022. I'm not sure about Ward or Schrieber being protected. Murphy is not Rule 5 until 2023.
-
I'd like to see Houck as the set-up man or long man and Whitlock as our starter. That leaves one slot for a starter via free agency or trade plus maybe some depth.
-
nice job, old timer. Here are some names Of pitchers already in the system that may fill most slots. Free Agents: ERod QO offer? Ottavino Robles Team Options: Richards Perez Sale Eovaldi Pivetta Whitlock Houck Barnes Taylor DHern Sawamura Brasier Valdez Rios Davis Seabold Bello- rule 5 Winckowski- rule 5 Crawford-rule 5 German- rule 5 Bazardo Feltman-rule 5 I might be missing someone, but these are the main choices. My guess is we add 2 starters and a closer this winter from outside the organization.
-
I’d try Taylor.
-
Now, they do, yes.
-
Now Bloom is a genius for finding Robles for so cheap.
-
bye bye, Jake from State Farm!
-
I can’t live like this!
-
Jake Cave and the bad seeds
-
He throws smoke, but the seem kinda flat & dangerous.
-
Was that one of those rare things called an out?
-
My thoughts exactly.
-
who is warming up? Gretel?
-
You mean this year!
