Mel Stottlemyre is dead...

There is no reason that Cease shouldn't be full go next year. Only 13 pitchers threw 200 last year anyway

They lost a couple games

He does need to find a way to consistently work three pitches though

Especially with one of the 5 or 6 fastest people in baseball on second...0

Stop bunting

I was saying he’s scorching hot and on roids

Porque no los dos

He has 7 bombs in 9 games if I heard that right. Wowzer

So Cruz is seeing the ball

I thought for sure Caulfield made this post when I read the title

Agree to disagree

This could all just be posturing, but it also looks like Merrifield isn’t available either. Also dumb.

You'd have to be really confident about your ability to add a RF, and really consider calling Robert up ASAP. I don't think you could make a call either way with out intimate knowledge of their plan.

Sounds like Bum is off the trade market as well. They’re going to wish they didn’t get hot in about 2 weeks.

Yeah

Szymborski brought this question up, Would you trade Kopech and like a C prospect for Syndergaard. I thought no chance at first, but now I'm not so sure the more I think about it. I'd say probably not, but I'm not slamming the phone.

Well he's thrown 4 total innings in the past 30 days so I promise you it hasn't changed much if at all since then.

I knew something smelled funny about that comment.

Herrera is (-)0.7...

Fine, you win that point. I would still much rather have Tony Kemp than any of Rondon, Tilson, Cordell, Reed, Yolmer, Engel

Even ignoring this as we probably should, I'm not giving up 4 years of a meh player for 2 years of a meh player

Leury's a lot more expensive and only under control for a year, you'd have Kemp for 4 (maybe 5, I don't trust my math). They're otherwise pretty similar in their usefulness imo

That's fine, I'm not looking for a starter, Kemp is a better utility option moving forward than anyone on this roster.

A 23 point gap in OPS+ is pretty significant.
