When you look at pure stuff, miller is clearly better. But if you want to swap houck and miller with in the rotation, I have no problem with that!
-
Fair enough. But miller is the guy we are missing in our rotation.
-
I almost included abreau instead of yoshida. But I assume we are paying all of yoshida for the duration of the contract.
-
Unfortunately, we cannot change the past. I think we need to move forward assuming the past is written in stone
-
A lot of people see the 99 mph fastball, but it has little movement on it or it gets too much white part of the plate. You look at winkleman’s fastball and it has tons of movement, but ends up outside the strike zone or hitting the guy on deck!! (Haha) the question Bailey needs to answer is if they can get penrod’s spin rate right, can the ball should get some life. Also can penrod learn to live on the black part of the plate
-
I consider Crawford and priester and fitts as depth pieces only. We have to get 2 top of the rotation arms to be a playoff team next year
-
I know I am in the minority here, but I see houck as a 3 at best in a rotation! in 2024 offseason, I want to see us sign fried. I know he has durability issue's, but his stuff is amazing. Fried would be #1 in our rotation. then comes the big trade. Seattle needs bats badly. I propose we trade cassas, yoshida, Hamilton and hagenman to Seattle for Miller. Miller slides in as #2 in our rotation. 2025 rotation 1.) fried 2.) miller 3.) houck 4.) bello 5.) Gioletta depth - Crawford. Fitts, Criswell
-
99 mph fastball is my guess. 6 years of control as a middle reliever with a chance to excel if the command and control improve
-
Guerrero called up today. I think Anthony and Campbell should break training camp 25 with Boston. I do not think any Worcester pitcher except Hendricks is capable of starting 2025 in Boston.
-
For the pitching, it’s like almost everybody is over slotted. 1.) Our 3-4-5 rotation pitchers are pitching 1-2-3 in the rotation. 2.) our depth pieces are now 4-5 in the rotation. 3.) except for Martin and Jansen , everybody in the bullpen is over slotted. Many should be depth pieces at Worcester instead of Boston. this is all the result of injuries, lack of depth and hang’em Chaim’s inability to draft pitching this offseason, we need 2 top of the rotation arms and 2 quality relievers, preferably a lefty and righty we get that and our pitching staff gets reslotted properly and we are a payoff team
-
When fitts velocity is up, he does fine. When fitts velocity dips, he gets crushed
-
Thank you! Appreciate it
-
we need to have open competition for the 2nd base position! And the best guy needs to play, we cannot let service years dictate,
-
Ingrassia is very intriguing. I have not seen enough of him yet to get a good read on his stuff! But it looks impressive
-
in two days, we should bring up Campbell and stick him at 2b. Dude can hit. total nonsense to think Grissom is a better hitter. I do not know how Campbell is successful, but he can put bat to ball better than the rogues galley listed above
-
I may be late to the party on this, but has anybody seen judice pitch for Salem? While his stuff is average at best, it is his size that is amazing! He is listed at 6’8” and 230 pounds. He is a huge guy. Got to be the biggest pitcher I have seen in a while!!!
-
With Hamilton getting hurt, does Campbell get called up in a few days?
-
Rafeala has hit the rookie wall! There is no way we should trade this guy. This guy is a future all star. I think teel has also slammed into the rookie wall as well. the amazing thing is Campbell has shown no signs of fatigue!
-
No team will trade a star pitching prospect, but teams will trade secondary pitching prospects for major league or near major league prospects! It just so happens we have a surplus of those. can bres-slow pry one or two of those type pitching prospects away, while bringing in a few short term veteran pitchers out here like severino??
-
I must have messed up my Larry cook account. So I created Larry cook v2 as a replacement
-
That betts contract is looking more and more ugly as each season passes
-
Anthony’s only out, was a liner to short. Kid was locked in against a beach ball thrower
-
Injuries and poor starters has stressed our bullpen, our lack of depth has been exposed. we need two quality starters and two quality relievers for 2025!
-
Ingrassia only pitching one inning Sunday.
-
Off season wish list! A number 1 and number 2 starter and a lefty and a righty bullpen guys!!!!! I think we are covered everywhere else
