There's a lot of teams who could use Banks in middle relief.

He also hasn't been over 150 innings since 2019. What has Cease done?

And a perfect embodiment of why Chris Getz isn't a major league GM.

I was wondering how the predictable demise of the Os rotation was going, and if they would actually show some stones this this around?

Oh, so you moved the goal posts because I was right.

He has to know that by now.

Thorpe has given up 3 hits to the last 44 BF.

You know how the Hawks got Bedard? They dumped all of their good players when they got expensive and near the end of their deals. Yes, they tanked.

It's not his position, it's the owners.

~17% of the RBIs that Nicky has this season are in this one game, or just over 1% of the games he has played this season.

Give me the Six players.

Yeah, no idea what the problem was either.

93, top of the zone

Let's see that list of playoff contenders who have #3 starters with career ERA+ of 110 and pulling down 150 innings per year.

29 baseball teams still have a theoretical path to win 100 games this year. The Chicago White Sox could win every single game for the entire rest of the season. (73 games) and would still only win 98 games.

A starter averging 10% above league average in ERA plus 150 innings isn't "mid-rotation" unless you call the #2 slot mid rotation. And that's not including the fielding considerations.

Congrats, you have spent about a billion dollars, and assembled a 75 win team. You are now the NY Mets, and Crochet and Fedde are leaving via free agency.

They have built a great team doing it "this way", so why not keep it up. It's got us on a 40 win pace! More of that please!!!

I think you also forgot that the Sox had all of Robert, Crochet, and Fedde, and were still 13.5 games out of the race on April 29th.

Who did you plagiarize this from?

I swear the name was thrown out there just for a reaction as opposed to actually comparing the two guys.

Peak Javy Vazquez was a 140 ERA+. Cease was a 180. When Cease was going good, he was the runner up Cy Young, Vazquez, no. Career Vazquez was a 105, Cease was a 110. I don't know what grave that the corpse of Javy Vazquez got dug up out of, but put him back this is ain't it.
