    Dickey is just completely unstoppable. 18 IP 2H 23K 0ER his last two starts.
  2. Tryptamine
    Ugh, the guy with the really weak attempts at heckling throughout this game. "Barney you're a little purple dinosaur". Heckling that isn't funny is just annoying.
  3. Tryptamine
    I'm sure if the speculated scenario is real then he is on it. If the Cubs DLeda guy who wasn't hurt they'd be breaking rules.
  4. Tryptamine
    So his new team misses out on two of his starts, and the Cubs get an extra roster spot to use for a few days that they wouldn't have had otherwise. What's in it for his new team? You think the Cubs safeguarding themselves by putting Demp on the DL is going to cause the Dodgers to void the deal? I really doubt him missing one extra start and pushing the his first back a couple days is going to be a huge deal. I mean if you figure the secondary things take a day or two to figure out, then you have all the physicals he's really only going to be on the DL for like 7 or 8 days after he's traded.
  5. Tryptamine
    Firstly, the DL would be retroactive so he wouldn't miss 3 starts. Secondly, DLing him opens up a roster spot while the trade is being ironed out. Lastly, working on the money or secondary parts may take a few days still. Maybe I'm wrong, but this is a lot of smoke.
  6. Tryptamine
    I'm with Kaplan, I think this deal is almost done and they're just discussing how much money the Cubs will have to cover to get the second prospect they want.
  7. Tryptamine
    There's too much smoke here. My guess is they're really close and just working on secondary pieces.
  8. Tryptamine
    I'm not sure that I believe that he's really hurt. Is it possible this is more just keeping him safe until the trade goes through? Seems odd that he's completely fine after his start and hanging out with his friends now he's incapable of pitching.

    turner's k/9 tell me that he'll never be top of the rotation. i mean, doesn't a serious ace-prospect have to be at least over 9 at every level? i mean, that's a minimum requirement. if you can't strike guys out, you can't dominate. if you can't dominate, you're back-end. 42IP 27K 19BB. Admittedly that's a small sample size but with the recent arm troubles, I'll stand by my opinion.
  10. Tryptamine
    I think Castellanos/Turner +another piece is a must if we deal with the Tigers. Maybe I'm down more than others on Turner, but I just don't see the guy who is supposed to be a top of the rotation starter. There is absolutely no way I'd ever let him headline a deal for Garza. To be fair, Teheran is another guy where I just don't see this supposed elite ace type stuff so maybe I'm just wrong.
  11. Tryptamine
    Zero interest in Porcello; I'd rather have a lottery then pick up a guy with #5 ability and seemingly no more projection.
  12. Tryptamine
    Guthrie is just absolutely horrifically bad. Brett Cecil could do whatever Guthrie could do and that's free.
  13. Tryptamine
    Chicago reporters are awesome. No one asks a thing about Lahair not pinch hitting, but they sure as hell hit up castro's error as soon as they could. He'll be chased out of town in the next couple years because the media will convince the fans that he's lazy and a clubhouse cancer.
  14. Tryptamine
    I don't hate Sveum, but that was pretty damn awful right there.
  15. Tryptamine
    I changed the channel the second it was brought up. I don't want to go to bed angered by stupidity.
  16. Tryptamine
    Maybe I'm wrong, but why was that Castro's fault on Ortiz's FC? It looked to me like Valbuena wasn't even over to 2B yet so Castro didn't have a choice but to take it himself.
  17. Tryptamine
    Astros signed McCullers for 2.5M. What a great draft they had.
  18. Tryptamine
    He'll probably be up, not that I really want him to be at this point. It'll be a September call-up. Why would you not want him up then? When his K rate is already headed in the wrong direction, I hardly feel like it's good for his progress to put him into a scenario where he's likely going to K even more.
  19. Tryptamine
    He'll probably be up, not that I really want him to be at this point.

    The two biggest ones are still unsigned; is there any chance that the Almora negotiations are holding up the Underwood deal?
  21. Tryptamine
    Is it still not possible if Russell is included? There have been reports that multiple teams have been interested. I don't dislike Eovaldi, but I'd much rather have Lee and Beliveau could probably perform pretty close to on par with Russell. Dempster/Russel for Lee/R.Patterson would make me pretty happy.
  22. Tryptamine
    and yet a person I know told me just last night that he's not even a good hitter, all he does is walk. :roll:
  23. Tryptamine
    I seriously can't believe not one of their starters panned out so far. When they had a farm with Tillman, Matusz, Arrieta and Britton all tearing up the minors I thought for sure their rotation was going to be absolutely filthy by now.
  24. Tryptamine
    Would could the Oriole's possibly offer for Dempster? Their farm pretty much dies off entirely after Bundy/Machado/Schoop. Matusz is about the only thing I can think of and that isn't all that thrilling.
  25. Tryptamine
    As was said, 20% is really where you want to be. I can't imagine his numbers would be very impressive in an offense suppressed FSL with a 25% K rate.
