    Baby steps. I'll settle for contact this inning.
  2. davell
    Heyward might as well be a platoon player.
  3. davell
    Contact? Please?

    He's getting horsefeathering drilled

    Matusz gives up a walk and a homer to Kevin Plawecki in the 2nd.

    Wind blowing 18MPH out.....
  7. davell
    Matusz with a perfect 1st for Iowa, K'ing 2.

    I'd think the Indians with Clevinger and someome like Sheffield or....:hides erection: McKenzie...makes a ton of sense. I'd take Norris and someone else or Bradley straight up from that and run, obviously Gausman or Walker. Paxton is someone I don't know what I think about as a SP so probably no. I wasn't even considering trading Soler for minor leaguers. I KIND of doubt we'd do it now, but I'd be OK with it, if we did. Get a good pitching prospect for him and some semblance of a RHRP maybe......I'm unsure what to think about Paxton too.

    How is he the odd guy out? What am I missing? I mean, how much time will he get when he's back? Heyward and Fowler play everyday(even if Heyward maybe shouldn't for now). Contreras is going to get at least 1 of every days out there and likely 2 most turns thru the rotation. KB and Zobrist are getting time out there, so Javy gets his time at 2B and 3B. Hell, even Szczur is going to get a spot start here or there. This doesn't even account for the possibility we don't DFA Coghlan or try and work Almora into games...... I just don't see where he's going to get AB's. Add in Schwarber coming back next year and its cloudy for him then too.

    I've been trying to think of a good swap for Soler.....Odorizzi seems to steep. Moore? I could live with that. Drew Hutchison isn't enough. Gausman seems like a pipe dream. Daniel Norris? Seems light. James Paxton? I'm 50/50. Walker? They'd laugh, right? Nate Karns? He'd kind of fit our roster currently. But I think we can do better. Bettis or Chatwood from the Rox? I don't think that's the ticket. Would Archie Bradley be possible? If so, I'm in. Anyone got other options for a trade like that? Theo saying he's looking out for cost controlled guys makes me think Soler is the bait, since he's kind of the odd guy out.

    I was a Johnson fan. At this point, he's a guy we can take off the 40, as far as I'm concerned. But my guess is they'll give him a shot in the pen first.

    Willie looked a bit overmatched

    So I've been a big fan of trading for Rich Hill. But is this a guy we should give up a solid haul for? Since 2010, this is his inning count(minors included).......103, 24, 36, 38.2, 48.1, and 83 in 2015. He's at 79 currently. He threw 195 back in 2007 for us. He threw 199.1 in 2006 combined...... So, how many innings before he runs out of gas? I don't think a 6 man rotation slows it down nearly enough. Do you use him out of the pen? I guess that could work conceivably, but you don't even know how he'd react to it. Any other ways you use him or is taking a shot on him rolling the dice one too many times?
  15. davell
    yeah. and i'd be at less than small bummer if nothing happened. Same, if some combination of Edwards, Nathan, Grimm, or Wood look good over the next few weeks, my only lament will be that there isn't a true LOOGY to replace Richard, which is the nitpickiest of complaints. Matusz?

    Astros get Yulieski Gurriel for 5/47.5......Good, keep him out of the NL.
  17. davell
    He can be Clark's secretary

    Javy is the greatest tagger in history

    Perez just horsefeathering sat down instead of sliding
  21. davell
    Rucker got 180K. Zinn and Sweeney got 100k. The deadline is later today, but we're out of overage(have 12K left or so). My guess is we're done, unless Biasi signed and it fell under the radar somehow.
  22. davell
    Vogelbach is going to get dealt and the fans of his new team are going to ask horsefeathering tons of chat questions about....."Is he a first division 1B soon?" "Is he the best hitter in the minors?" "Over/Under 5-on how many .850 OPS seasons he puts up." He's not going to be anything other than a secondary piece, but he's going to have a pretty decent MLB career and other teams fans don't know that yet. But Law, Badler, whoever.....Are going to start making fun of all the questions they get on him once he's dealt.
  23. davell
    This isn't some drastic overpay. Pomeranz is good, Espinoza is FAR away, which lowers his value. If anything, I'm thinking this bodes well for the SP market. They may be more reasonable than I'd have thought.
  24. davell
    Oh man, I'd take Kipnis and not think twice.
  25. davell
    Assuming Fernandez is on a buying team and the Angels aren't moving Trout.....There's no one out there on the market, the FO is using Javy in a deal for.
