  1. There was a year ('07?) where Marmol was untouchable, clearly the best reliever on the team, and was used in the highest leverage situations regardless of when they occurred. I'm sure he wanted the paycheck that comes with saves, and he was made the closer the following year. The next time an uber-dominant reliever emerges, I would love to see them pay him like a closer and put him in that role.
  2. Caissie starting to come around. 177 wRC+ in his past 40 PAs. Still over 40% K rate, though.
  3. It's been a bizarre year. If you had told me in March that Dansby Swanson would have a higher wRC+ than: Manny Machado Trea Turner Cal Raleigh Bo Bichette Jackson Merrill I would assume he would be in line to start the All-Star game.
  4. Kepley on base 6 times with 4 sb. Crazy.
  5. Nico has never faced Degrom, which to me seems strange.
  6. The team has one glaring need and that is an ace. Don't settle. Go get one.
  7. If we're going to move big pieces, I'd be targeting Hunter Brown.
  8. I would try to make the pitching version of the Michael Busch deal. Instead of negotiating with a "seller" at the deadline, trade from our surplus for an arm that's on the cusp. Swapping Shaw or Ramirez for an SP like Macdougal or Snelling.
  9. Boy I'd love to see them go to Mo who then hits a grand slam on the 1st pitch.
  10. Abbott is the kind of LHP I'd want Mo to face. You're going to want him to get more comfortable with lefties before October.
  11. It's still early and all, but I've been quite underwhelmed by Bregman.
