im a pass on Conforto, its his same shoulder that he has had issues with in the past. Go get pitching.

even a rodon that only throws 125 innings at last years level is worth a QO at least. Hell id pay 20 million a year for it. The gamble and risk was well worth it, and if he turned it down you could get a second round pick. I am really interested to see how the Giants go about handling his workload, but his arm looks good right now.

Rodon dominated yesterday

we all had such high hopes for Rutherford, shame.

im sure Hahn was expecting Yermin to play 2b or rf this season, terrible blow

Rodon is going to have an easy 3+ WAR season for the Giants, and yes im banking on him being healthy.

I did some calming yoga before bed to help with my lack of sleeping lately and now i undid all that relaxing by reading the above Madrigal post. Why the fuck did Hahn trade him away for Kimbrel what the fuck was he thinking?! I hope Madrigal lights it up this year and beyond. God i hate this front office with a passion

Take solace in the fact that this organization doesnt know how to draft or develop players so that comp pick wouldnt have mattered anyways.

today is wednesday.

Im going to say the Padres again

cant wait to watch Leury penciled in for 450 ABs this season

Based Crick, im a fan.

damn basabe looked slow af there

Im bored of the same old talk in this thread. Lets discuss an Eloy trade that would improve the MLB club. Who wants to take up the challenge?

This is why Hahn didnt feel the need to go after SP this offseason, Lopez had his eyes looked at and he now has confidence! https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/news/reynaldo-lopez-seeing-results-of-eye-surgery

was it really a fluke though? We were one of the worst teams when it came to launch angle which resulted in all the singles and double plays throughout the series. Our starters blew up. The bullpen decisions were questionable. It was a bad matchup and the Astros played well

Sox could have filled a massive hole with Story and/or Conforto but will sign neither and settle on a AAA platoon and a 35 year old on the downtrend.

Another AL team getting better, im really looking forward to that vaughn/sheets/engel platoon and Harrison's 700 OPS this season!

thats a fair take, but if i were to put money on it i would say Rodon will be more valuable than Kopech. The biggest factor is health and inning limits, not even sure what the Giants will do with Rodon, but im not expecting many innings out of Kopech this year. edit: and if Kopech is throwing like 2021 Rodon I hope that they are smarter than to leave him in a game where we are up by 13 just so he can feel good about pitching thru the 6th inning. Please dont needlessly tire his arm out.

that dumpster is in a too rich of a neighborhood for Hahn to dive in

yeah his potential is there, but he made his debut 4 years ago and has 83 innings under his belt. Not many as a starter. Hes not going to be counted on to do anything drastic this year. In that same time Rodon threw 300 innings. of course not, people werent clamoring that we wouldnt need another pitcher because we had Rodon returning either Lets hope they dont go the Rodon route with Kopech. Also if you think Rodon didnt care about that playoff game then you definitely didnt watch it or have ever played a competitive sport in your life. Im sure he was "half hearted" throwing his first career postseason start in a contract year after almost having to retire from baseball. Nice take

Do people here honestly think Kopech is going to replace Rodons production from last year? What are you smoking?

they are out of reach, but is there anything else we can add in that Dodgers would be interested in? within reason of course

over/under: Carlos Correa and Byron Buxton combining for 200 games played this season

Leury Garcia - 5.5 million Harrison - 5 million Kimbrel - 16 million Vasquez (oops, meant Velasquez) - 3 million
