To me, TPM is redeemed (relative to AoTC) by Darth Maul/Duel of the Fates. If I had to pick one to watch, I'd choose TPM.

In his defense, there were runners on because of an error to begin with

At what point do they just start intentionally walking him every single time? Not even joking

Another hit for Eloy.

I have no idea why Fangraphs is so down on Cease. How can you possibly conclude that he's a one pitch pitcher?

And then last week, the only rational response was "small sample size/Coors Field-esuqe home park" so he goes and drops a ~1.600 OPS week at road parks

But not good enough.

Wow.

Look at his AAA numbers this year.

That's true, but I was getting at batting average/errors versus WAR/DRS/range stats

Same. I knew about Brett Myers but just learned about Castro. Not good.

He's the most overrated pitcher in baseball IMO. I would've said Sonny Gray before, but now people realize that he's not good

But instead, they'll do things such as give $150 million to the worst first baseman in baseball.

Good luck, I would say. But yeah, if Chapman can be had for what he netted, and then have people completely forget about his past and eventually sign for $90 mil, I guess anything can happen

in terms of highest ceiling players, I'd take our farm system without question. In terms of safest bet systems (for solid MLB regulars), I'd take the Padres without question.

Deal fell through
