    Cease and is several tiers below Espinoza. Of course no one would care about losing Cease for good pitcher. Okay, make it literally Espinoza then. Espinoza is getting licked by the Sally league, outside of HR prevention there's nothing he's doing overly well unless you extremely discount his performance for age. He's throwing less than 4.5 innings per start so if he's tiring out it's the 2nd time through the order. He's also not improving mid-year, since June he has an ERA of about 6 and hitters have an .850 OPS on him in the last month. He already has people making Carl Edwards comments about his potential durability and future as a starter. He is so far from being a valuable MLB starter right now that considering him far above the value of an actual above average major league SP is venturing into the absurd. I'm not against trading him entirely, I'm against trading him for a guy who is just now breaking out and has never thrown a full season. Is Pomeranz even going to last until the playoffs?

    I will trade ace upside pitchers struggling to get hitters out in Low A for good but less than ace upside major league pitchers 10 days a week. If Cease weren't hurt and pitching even better than he is now, I would trade him in a millisecond for Pomeranz or Teheran and laugh my way to victory. Cease and is several tiers below Espinoza. Of course no one would care about losing Cease for good pitcher.

    As much as we like to devalue pitching prospects, ones with true ace upside are exceedingly rare.
  4. Tryptamine
    That's even worse than Devers.
  5. Tryptamine
    If it's the Devers+ package some people were throwing around, then I'm officially terrified of this trade deadline.

    The difference between 7.5 game lead and 5.5 feels huge to me.
  7. Tryptamine
    Thank god, that's huge
  8. Tryptamine
    After that 2 HR game, he hit a HR against the White Sox the very next night. No idea what to make of that.
  9. Tryptamine
    Feeling very confident with him in there. He could be huge in getting that pen right in the 2nd half.
  10. Tryptamine
    Thank you for Cobbing, Pirates.
  11. Tryptamine
    fixed beat me to my edit
  12. Tryptamine
    Contreras and Javy just blowing this game assuming Javy wasn't think 2nd and 3rd :P
  13. Tryptamine
    please CJ just throw strikes and let the rest of it sort itself out.
  14. Tryptamine
    Can't even horsefeathering bunt properly.
  15. Tryptamine
    For a guy with an elite contact tool, Almora looked pretty awful there.
  16. Tryptamine
    Thanks Javy, there goes the lead.
  17. Tryptamine
    Javy wtf are you doing?
  18. Tryptamine
    I want Lackey back out there in the 7th, even with the 98 pitches
  19. Tryptamine
    That was his second bad throw. They have just come in the last two days, so you and Tryptamine are freaking out about it. Allowing the tying run to be 90 feet away with less than 2 outs instead of at 2B is kind of a big deal.
  20. Tryptamine
    King douche up to bat, anyone but him.
  21. Tryptamine
    please god, for once let a Pirate make an out with a RISP.
  22. Tryptamine
    Contreras needs to get his throws under control, he's hurting this team a lot
  23. Tryptamine
    Now everyone needs to apologize to Javy, because it was clearly on Gary Jones. You can't change your mind as the player is touching 3B.
  24. Tryptamine
    and it was tied for 3 pitches
  25. Tryptamine
    OFC
