Squirmin' for Yermin

yeah, in 2008.

1. Giolito 2. Lynn 3. Keuchel 4. Cease 5. Wainwright (or some other low end old man) Kopech still in minors.

Thank the lord.. What a horrible contract that is going to be.

His FIP generally floats around his ERA. I'd gladly take a guy who will have a FIP around 3.9-4.5 and give me 170 innings than a guy who will have a FIPslightly lower, but only give me 50 innings. We don't have the depth to take a guy who can't take the ball for 3/4 of a season

I am now on the Mike Leake banwagon. Fully aboard. He seems like the perfect get at this point, and exactly what our staff needs. Innings, and health, and more innings and health.. Obviously I wanted someone better, but that time has gone.

I forgot about him but then someone brought him up. I think he is a guy we would be happy with. Always healthy, and can give some innings. I am warming up to him. Just a feeling he could be had for 6 million or so. Cheaper than Quintana.

If Angels get serious about Bauer, I wonder if Canning could be had?

Thank God. I want no part of Richards, even at 5 million.

How did I miss Yates signing. Whoops. That's a fun contract for him. Roughly 50% in incentives.

I'd rather keep Kelley than Madrigal. I have spoken,

I honestly think I'd pick B... Gonzalez shouldn't net Madrigal or Kelley.. And those 3 for Burnes, likely is fair, but it's an awfully high price to pay for a guy with no track record. I'd be wary and pass. Now if you can work around giving Kelley, and instead Stiever or a different HS pitcher, go for it.

same. I just want another SP, that can move to BP if needed.

Richards hasn't pitched more than 70ish in a season since 2015 (1 time). Hamels - 4 times. Walker - 3 times. Paxton - 4 times. HELL, Rich Hill - 3 times. So yes, these pitchers obviously are also injury prone... Richards just can't throw anymore without dying. They are not the same.

I hope they just sign a SP rather than trade 2 MLB guys (Madrigal, Heuer) and a super high ceiling SP (Kelley). Just give me someone. Paxton? Hamels? Walker? Fine with all of them... Even Richards I guess...

gosh we are missing everyone (I'm not mad, because we have been active).. But jeeeezus we are gunna be stuck with Cahill and Collins.. Both will require trading prospects at the deadline.. grrrr

Wowza

This seems about right to me. Love me some Kelley. Please keep him ❤️

I have a feeling this is going to be a mistake as we wind up with someone like Cahill after missing everyone..

I'd be suprised if Gio is top 10.

I'll give them a wild card.

That would be an other worldly outcome.

"Good outcome is Sale" Sale was a top 3 pitcher for 7 years.

I am talking about Abreu

sounds like I'll stick to The Show! This was kinda my understanding too that RBI was more "kiddish"

In 2019 he showed decline, just to be clear.
