Squirmin' for Yermin

Have you seen the Sox and Twins? The NL Central was by far the worst offensive division.. And that's all they played

Theres a difference between getting him up to 100 innings by throwing 2-3 innings twice a week and pitching him in the minors and getting him up to 5 innings a start and then majors at the end of the year for bullpen. he also will be dominant in the bullpen and then you wouldn't be able to move him back to SP. Ala Josh Hader.

Sad if it's anything but just August/September

If Crochet does not start in the minors as a SP, he will never be a SP.. For this reason, he has to start in the minors. Too good of an arm to force to the bullpen without even trying. He can be up in the playoffs when we need him most.

I would be fine with Stiever ++.. While avoiding trading one of the HS pitchers at all in the deal. It would have to be headlined by Stiever or Collins for me. Otherwise I'd pass. I admitedly am not a huge Musgrove fan. I wonder if the Dylan Bundy trade would be a good comparrison?

Gimme Schwarber over LaStella at the same price.. Okay, maybe not. IDK

BOOM

Seems high for Giolito just to buy out a few years. I could be wrong?

He's our best hitter

My god you are high.

If he got injured in the beginning on 2021 (I assume we would know within the first month), he would be back for the majority of 2022.

You're right. Adding Darvish and Snell doesn't move the needle much.

Maybe the Padres will now trade us Paddack (dream scenario lol)

meth didn't make him a better hitter. The * are for those who cheated throughout most their career.

They need to have a * (astericks) side of the hall of fame for these guys.. There's no way Bonds, Sosa, Clemens, etc. shouldn't be represented.. Just give them a *.

No one is clamoring that he be our top target. Maybe 5th, if things don't workout with the top?

Hand is still out there. Yates is out there. Colome is probably #3 for me anyways. If you can't get Hendriks, ?Hand or Colome, you just have to sign 2 lower guys imo to add more depth. Such as Yates/Bradley and someone.

A man is only as good as his word.

Darvish was also one of the best pitchers (if not the best) since June 2019

I think he's exactly what the team needs at this point. Someone durable who can start until Kopech is ready and provide innings, then move to the bullpen and spot start when needed.

You're telling me Colas won't sign for $58,100?!?! Sad Lyfe I live.

I am fine with this. Ideally those are the end of the season, ehading into the playoffs rotation. A Quintana signing would be a great bridge.

Liiiike, a regular free agent? So he can sign with anyone for guaranteed dollars?

I thought so, but now there seems to be differing views?

39th what?
