Squirmin' for Yermin

he is not left handed

I would fucking LOVE Paddack. I am a big fan. Plus I wondered if he's more available than he already was after they got Manaea. Is there any interest from us for him?

Cueto is dog shit. Rosenthal I'd be on board with

Plus I still think he'd hang due to needing innings early in the year due to the quick spring training.

Cueto is a dog pile of shit.

Could you fucking imagine.

wowzer... I'd have done this. Only 6 million for Hosmer and you get Paddack? I'd love Paddack as our 5.

Pitching him only 60 innings in the majors made him a lifetime reliever. His clock started (only has 6 years). Year 2, only 80 innings Year 3 120 innings. Year 4 160 innings. We now have two years of a full time starter with no restrictions. This was best case scenario with no injuries (unlikely). Clearly wasn't likely, thus the way we handled him (60 innings in the majors, thus starting his clock) made him a full time reliever. If this was the plan.. It was stupid. Pitching him 60 (if that was his limit), in the minors is a far different scenario.

I am sure Manaea would be. I love Kopech as much as the top guy, but playoffs are a bullpen game and Kopech could be the second best reliever on our team. For this year, he'd make a TON of sense to be out there in the playoffs. I am where you are regarding a package. I'd love to be able to headline with Sheets +.. Would love to avoid Kath.

what is it at?

He shouldn't. I'd rank them: Gray, Bassitt, Manaea actually.

If our plan out of the draft was to only pitch him 50-60 innings his first year, then he shouldn't have been picked.

The way we handled him turned him into a full time reliever lol

completely agree. He's an okay pitcher, hurt often and on a one year deal

I'd be fine with Moncada if he can maintain a .365 OBP. I want nothing to do with Grandal over Eloy though... Eloy very well could be our best pure hitter.

Yeah, he'd look great offensively. But my goodness would that D be horrible.

I'd do Anderson, Robert, Abreu, Eloy, Grandal, Moncada, Pollack, Vaughn, Leury. If you wanted more balance and Yoan looks okay, you could put him at 2, and push everyone down 1.

I'm bored.. Here's my lineup: 1. Anderson 2. Robert 3. Abreu 4. Eloy 5. Grandal 6. Moncada 7. Vaughn 8. Pollack 9. Harrison/Leury There really is no good way to balance this lineup IF Moncada can't turn back to 2019.

he literally hit it last year.

we explode over randoms who name themselves after average fast food menu items

How has this board not exploded from this tweet

everyone would... but who is to say we'd have Suzuki if we never picked up Kimbrel.

I hate to break it to you but if Sheets is the top offer, they don't have many offers.

how much do either actually have?

That seems very expensive WITHOUT an extension in place.
