    Darren O'day is one of thew few I'd interested in that's likely to be available.He hasn't had an ERA over 2.28 since 2011. I'd also be kind of interested in Ubaldo. He is pretty much the single most volatile pitcher in the game, but he's back to being good (3.25FIP 8.58K/9) after being god awful in 2014 (4.67FIP 5.53BB/9). He is signed through 2017 and his contract isn't huge, 12.25M in '15, 13M in '16, 13.5M in '17. Dollar for dollar I don't think you're going to be able to get anymore upside than that.

    Tex scored 15 runs on 19 hits. The White Sox pitching was just god awful.
  3. Tryptamine
    That's a completely inexcusable mistake.
  4. Tryptamine
    Of [expletive] course, the pitching version of a fake rally.
  5. Tryptamine
    Ross, wtf was that?
  6. Tryptamine
    If they overturn that than I give up on this replay system.
  7. Tryptamine
    So basically Mooney knows nothing about the draft.

    3B in the NL is unbelievable. I can't fathom Nolan Arenado not making the ASG with a .919OPS, .387wOBA to go along with 13HR. I'm similarly shocked that Joc is 10th in outfielder votes despite a .949OPS, .402woBA, and 15HRs. He's on pace for nearly a 7fWAR season and I don't even know if he's going to get a vote in option.

    Yeah, [expletive], we could all get hit by a [expletive] meteor. That's a possibility too. That's all I'm getting out of this article as well. Anything could happen at anytime and therefore I can write about how someone is going to be traded because there's a .00001% possibility that it's true.

    Even of Jay doesn't go at 1.3, it sounds like he's the top guy on the White Sox' draft board and high on the Red Sox' board. Looks like some wacky stuff would have to happen for Jay to available at 1.9. Yeah, it's about 0% he's there at 9,Benintendi is about best case scenario at this point. If things pan out as I expect it's going to be a choice between Daz/Happ/Clark/Harris/Whitley. Would be nice if Allard's medicals looked good, because I like him a lot more than I like any of the aforementioned group.

    The amount of enthusiasm for Turner, not necessarily just here, but on PSD as well, is really confusing. Yeah his peripherals suggest he should be decent, but how many years does he need to get batted around until we say he's not good? I mean we have a perfectly viable #5 in Wada.
  12. Tryptamine
    My Understanding is that the Astros want bats. I'd expect one of Rodgers or Bregman at #2 and one of Cameron/Benintendi/Tucker at 5. Unfortunately, I think Jay is headed to Colorado.
  13. Tryptamine
    Rangers are bringing up Joey Gallo who is currently sporting a 33.6% K rate at AA and batting .311 with a .456babip. This could get really really ugly.
  14. Tryptamine
    I don't know that the Cubs have to be buyers. It's not like they're an old group like the Dodgers. This is year one of the window being open with the better part of a decade to get the job done. Using up all the resources for rentals in year one of that window is a waste.
  15. Tryptamine
    Pixie Dust?
  16. Tryptamine
    So MLB brings in 10s of billions of dollars, how is it possible they still can't get proper camera angles? They should be able to 360 panorama just about anything.
  17. Tryptamine
    They didn't use their challenge in the 9th. You can only challenge until the 7th is over. After that it's all up to the umpires. Managers can only suggest they review after the 7th inning.
  18. Tryptamine
    one hell of a tag by Perez
  19. Tryptamine
    Jesus, is there anyone in the Royal bullpen who isn't amazing?
  20. Tryptamine
    If you have so little faith that your player can even put a bat on the ball that you have to bunt in that situation, then he simply should not be on your roster.
  21. Tryptamine
    Well that's about as awful as it gets. That's pretty much game over against this bullpen.
  22. Tryptamine
    There are probably a dozen to fifteen names I would be OK with the Cubs picking and Daz just isn't one of them.
  23. Tryptamine
    I see no reason we should be giving up valuable chips for short terms solutions. If you're going to give up prospects then get someone who is going to be here for a few years.
  24. Tryptamine
    Opening up play time for Alex Guerrero at 3rd.
  25. Tryptamine
    No to Latos, but I'd do all those trades. Does Gallardo really belong in that lot? Yeah, this hasn't been his best season so far, but how much of that has to do with Arlington and the AL? Gallardo stopped being good a few years ago. 2012: 3.94FIP, 2013: 3.89FIP, 2014: 3.94FIP. His K rate has gone from 9.00 to 6.04 over the last few years as well. I'd say Kazmir,Iwakuma and a healthy Latos are substantially better pitchers.
