And, isn't that statement saying something about the manager's ability to get the most out of the talent?
-
Whoever Bloom drafts, I'll have confidence he took the right guy, but we all know it's kind of a crap shoot. Every draft has someone taken lower that beats out several higher picks. I'm sure this one will not be different. Let's hope people don't look back and single out our pick as the bad one. If we take a hs SS over Leiter or Davis, and they go on to do much better, I think the criticism will be brutal and maybe not entirely uncalled for.

It's a good one- just most are old or injury prone. I'm thinking an older starter might be good, since they may only be a 2-3 year risk.

Who gets sent down from the rotation once Sale is back?

Hopefully not right exactly in between. -
He now leads the team in ERA.
-
Exactly. Two wins in a row, and the attitude flips like a light switch.
-
Bobby Dee: Mr. clutch!
-
Then, Buch, Montas, A Sanchez, ERod,,, Nobody close to being an ace or being like Lester.
-
Some were all gah- gah over Masterson that they wanted him back.
-
or Whitlock, if you count minor leaguers who started with other teams. Houck had 3 nice starts. I'm not sure he counts. Whitlock, too.
-
Replacing Eovaldi $17M and Price $15M with an ace could be the big difference maker for 2023. I'm hoping was can do something this winter (too).
-
How we pay is by going over the tax line, next year. You could also add ERod, Pedey and Ottavino to get ace money. Getting rid of ERod and Richards and replacing the two with one ace still leave a hole that maybe Whitlock/Houck can fill, but then how good do Perez, Pivetta and Eovaldi look, right now? You know me. I'm always for adding an ace, when practical, and this winter seems like times up.
-
Talking about the actual game would be detrimental to my health.
-
Only ones worth mentioning are Barnes, Papelbon and Buch. Maybe we traded someone away? (Frank Montas or Anibal Sanchez?) Not much, really. Let's hope Bloom and his crew change all that, soon.
-
Why didn't the clown commissioner enact a 12 run rule?
-
I'm far from packing in this season. I'm talking hypothetical scenarios in mid to late July.
-
Trading JD for a ML good SP'er (assuming that can be done) is going to get us to the promise land in 2021????
-
This is based on the assumption the 2021 season is lost. Barnes has 4 months of control left, and we can re-sign him, this winter.
-
Getting top prospects would help us not be screwed, and our 2022 outlook is not so bad, assuming we spend over the lux line.
-
At this point, I'm thinking trade JD and Barnes for a 3 nice prospects. Then, trade ERod & Ottavino for 1-2 nice prospects. Trade Marwin for a promising low level prospect.
-
Me, too, but at his cost, we would not get nearly as much as with Barnes. Barnes's contract is a plus.
-
The only team that would trade for JD is a contender. What contender can spare a good starting pitcher mid season? Maybe a pitching prospect, but not a proven good SP'er.
-
I don't want to either, but if we are 7 down by the deadline, he's the guy who would bring back the most.
-
Yes, splitting hairs. (I do that too much.) He said "chance to be great" on Duran, so you are probably never- including on Duran. I'd say many GMs feel most of their better performing prospects have "a chance" to be great.
-
I think we bring Richards back on his option.
