    Him starting to finally hit well is a terrific thing in advance of trade season. I'm more interested in having a potential Almora replacement since the trade market is pretty much lacking in any interesting CFers not named Starling Marte.
  2. Tryptamine
    Unless Caratini is on the move or Contreras is primarily going to the OF I just don't get it at all. With as weak as this bench is already they simply can't afford to roster 3 catchers, especially when one is of the no hit variety. There's already enough offensive black holes. Not to mention that it was an overpay, but I don't particularly care about that since Montgomery was barely seeing the mound anyways.

    Tony Thomas and Jay Jackson were my guys back then. I thought they were both future studs.

    Heyward up to an .826 OPS, can't say I saw that coming this year.
  5. Tryptamine
    This Heyward makes me very happy.
  6. Tryptamine
    Yeah he has a fantastic FIP(2.86), but xFIP and SIERA don't like him nearly as much(3.75 and 3.80). He's actually giving up more Hard and Med contact this year than last, but his BB/9 is the best of his career(2.07). Having a very nice year, but not as nice as fWAR is showing.

    Castro is a really good comp. I'd expect a few more walks but that's not enough for me to quibble. Yeah I like a Starlin/Lemahieu (taking out some of the Coors inflation) type with more walks as a comp and also at least a little more versatile defensively. Lemahieu has been the high end comp I've been running with. A solid MLB regular with peak years that that sit in him the 3.5 to 4fWAR range.
  8. Tryptamine
    Yeah, like Nolan Gorman who I believe found himself at #20.
  9. Tryptamine
    Hopefully Strop and Kintzler go immediately on the market.

    Speaking of Gurriel, Yuli has been on a ridiculous tear too. Since June 23, a streak of 11 games and 49PA, he has put up a .400/.449/1.0167 line with 9HR.
  11. Tryptamine
    Guy has to field the ball, run from his position to 2B throw the ball to 1B all by himself and still gets Rizzo by a mile. He may be entering Pujols level slow now.
  12. Tryptamine
    So sick of the Nolan Gorman hype. An all bat guy who is likely headed for 1B and hasn't hit in damn near a year but he's talked about among the elite prospects in the game. Since his promotion from rookie league 438PA .224/.317/.411 with 15HR and a 30.4K%
  13. Tryptamine
    Solid defense.
  14. Tryptamine
    I wouldn't say I hate them, but I'm certainly apathetic. I don't even watch most games anymore; two years ago I almost never missed one.
  15. Tryptamine
    Yup, good thing they pulled Rosario because he was really struggling.
  16. Tryptamine
    Hey another batter who should have struck out, nicely done ump.
  17. Tryptamine
    Lovely, back to back guys who would have struck out get hits and 2-0 now.
  18. Tryptamine
    Would be real nice if both pitchers would get the same zone.
  19. Tryptamine
    ..this ump sucks
  20. Tryptamine
    Falling behind 2-0 on just about every batter this inning
  21. Tryptamine
    Hendricks could have easily gotten Collins at 2B
  22. Tryptamine
    Maybe I missed it, but where is JD and why am I being put through this AJ nonsense?
  23. Tryptamine
    Hits with men on base? I'm not familiar with what I'm seeing.
  24. Tryptamine
    Derek Johnson please.
  25. Tryptamine
    Will be interesting to see how Tyson holds up in the PCL and the juiced balls. This is going to be a huge change from AA.
