I'm not sure anything has been officially announced, but I think it might be a few more weeks, at least. Same with Marwin.
-
I'll be happy to see the Rays trade top prospects for an all-in one year window. It's a terrible strategy and one they have always avoided, for good reason. I also hope the Yanks are buyers not sellers- for the same reason.

2021 MLB draft
moonslav59 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Sign Hickey and call Fabian's bluff. If it's not a bluff, better luck, next year with the comp pick. -
Just say "NO!" to Rizzo. He's not worth what it will cost. I don't think Bloom will give what the Cubs demand. (I've been wrong many times before.)
-
They see a short window and grab for it. Maybe this is why they dealt Hill.
-
Why not rest Vaz at DH.
-
Rizzo will cost too much and is a rental. Bloom will not trade for him. Santana or Cron.
-
It’s no secret I’ve wanted Kike in CF since we signed him. Almost everyone thought 2B was better. That being said, I want Duran playing, so Kike at 2B is fine for the betterment of the team. Playing 1B seems extreme but I want Arroyo playing, too.
-
Why would I bet? I said I don’t think it happens.
-
Let's see if they buy or sell.
-
If we do not sign Fabian, we will get a comp pick next year. It would suck, but it does not mean Bloom messed up or that all is lost.

Every pitcher has a what if or two that would greatly improve his numbers. Richards is no different. To me, he has value to some team more than to ours. He's been healthy for 19 starts. That alone was the biggest question going into this season. As bad as he has looked over his last 8 starts, he still shows more promise than some starters on contending teams. I highly doubt he gets traded, but I'd look into it. Not to get anything back bust some salary relief. With the money saved, we can get a better upgrade than with just the $3-4M we can spend, now.
-
That's a nice 8. Most teams can't match that. We have to hope we can improve 1B, either by hoping Dalbec-Cordero/Marwin/Kike/Arroyo/Plawecki do better going forward or we add a 1Bman.
-
STOP! Please! I posted several numbers, one being fWAR. Most showed him to be mediocre, some a bit above average and fWAR showing top 20%. From that I determined he was a good pitcher from 2009-2020. You and 700 bring up nobody wanting him in 2021, so freakin' what? I never said Porcello was in a class with HOF'er. I said he was good or very good not mediocre. Stop pretending I said things I did not. I'm fine with people calling him mediocre. Stop the Porcello talk. What's the use?
-
The PTBNL is not important. It's my opinion Richards may be viewed as a better pitcher than a current starting pitcher on a contending team that does not want to shed prospects to upgrade. We might even try a deal like Ottavino. We could give up a prospect we do not plan on protecting, this winter- something like Potts, Richards and cash for nothing. The money saved allows us to upgrade our rotation and maybe 1B while keeping the budget in line. I'm not saying it will be easy to find a taker for Richards or that Bloom is even thinking about the idea. We have seen TB be buyers and sellers at the same time, so I do not think the idea is all that crazy.
-
Bloom acquired and traded several players with TB. Also, I'm not saying they will trade Richards or Perez, but I hope they trade Richards, move Perez to the pen, and acquire a decent SP'er and maybe a 1Bman, if the budget allows them to.
-
I never put him in a category with HOF pitchers. You keep misrepresenting my position. Let's just stop the nonsense and move on.
-
Well, he didn't. Last 8 starts: IP ER 5.0 3 5.1 4 4.0 4 1.2 4 5.2 5 5.0 2 5.0 3 5.2 5 One decent start out of 8. If it goes 1 in the last 9, how much longer do we go?
-
Picking and choosing when Dalbec plays could help a lot. Cordero or even Kike can play 1B, when Bobby Dee sits. I do think we trade for a cheap 1Bman, and Chavis gets traded or demoted.
-
40+ IP .517 Wu-Yelland (Sal) .571 Blalock (Sal) .571 Cobb (Sal) .609 Crawford (Por) .621 DiValerio (Salem) .628 Walter (Gre>Sal) .635 Bello (Gre>Por) .646 Reyes (Por) .658 Winckowski (Por-leads pitchers in IP with 69) .685 Kwiatkowski (Salem) .688 Espinal (Wor) .690 Spacke (Gre) .698 Groome (Gre) Other notables (under 40 IP, unless noted) .568 Scherff .650 Bryant .694 Ort .755 Drohan (48) .760 Feltman .775 German (54) .781 Walden .784 Gonsalves (58) .786 Murphy (63) .807 Politi (59) .831 Wallace

Is this Garrett's last chance start?
-
Chavis actually looked good on defense in 2020, too, but Marwin will beat him out, when healthy.
-
Let's say we have Arroyo healthy and do not trade for a 1Bman. We might see this rotation. (Bogey needs some time off to heal his wrist.) Vaz & Plawecki catch JD, Renfroe, Devers and Dugo play FT (maybe get a rest every 15-20 games.) That leaves this: 1B: Dalbec 4-5 of 10 games, Kike 5-6 of 10 2B: Arroyo 8 of 10, Kike 2 of 10 CF: Duran 8 of 10, Kike 2 of 10 SS: Bogey 8 of 10 for a while, then back to FT/ Arroyo or Kike at SS 2 of 10 games. Basically everyone but Dalbec plays 8-9 games out of 10.
-
I'm not sure Marwin and Arroyo will be back in August. I think both need to return to possibly squeeze Duran out.
-
Marwin is Cora's guy. That's who it will be, assuming he's healthy. Depending on 12 or 13 pitchers, our bench will be: Plawecki Arroyo or Duran (the other starts) Marwin If we go 4 bench players, I think it will likely be Santana, but I'd prefer Cordero then Chavis.
