    I had heard the PK was soft and finally watched the video and yeah, that's about as soft as they come
  2. Transmogrified Tiger
    He's been a Cub for 48 hours and raised his OPS by over 30 points
  3. Transmogrified Tiger
    Fair enough, "no past performance" is an overstatement, though the heart of that sentiment rings true since that was 4 years and multiple orgs ago.
  4. Transmogrified Tiger
    Even if Tauchman's peripherals were pristine, he'll be 33 next year and has no past performance to indicate that might be his level. Enjoy the hot streak and the story but no need to make any plans around it beyond not cutting him.

    I'm sorry to report that it's boneitis

    If you're looking at the Def value, that's relative to all positions. FG has him with a +1 UZR in the OF and +0 by OAA https://www.fangraphs.com/players/mike-tauchman/15274/stats#fielding

    This is the thing I'm most interested in, because a 130 wRC+ with a near 1:1 K/BB in A+ at age 20 is excellent, but the 11 errors in 40 games at 2B are not inspiring confidence he's staying on the infield. Still a good prospect either way, just a matter if you're dreaming on him being Jeff Cirillo or Michael Brantley.

    hahahaha Madrigal went for it
  9. Transmogrified Tiger
    Rucker is in Iowa

    Lively got the stick, Law got the carrot
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    Derek Law, could've sworn he'd been put out to pasture.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    that is some easy power for Candelario

    From the article:
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    It is extremely funny that Steve Cohen thought he had cracked the code of roster building and after one good season and doubling down it took 3 months to realize he not only needed to sell at the deadline by eating a truckload of money but also give up on 2024.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    Of the LHRP with 2024 options that might be available, Raley might be my least favored, opposed to Bummer, Chafin, or Hand(who is gone now), but that still seems like a perfectly cromulent pickup.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    Arb eligible and was good in 100 MLB innings last year
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    Done.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    Why would the Diamondbacks be trading away relievers?
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    Agreed, not winning is a big missed opportunity given there's not many head to head chances anymore, but the overall playoff outlook doesn't hinge on winning specific games at this point.
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    Named After Maddux has my favorite take on this
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    Don't immediately get why you'd pay IFA money to swap between similar profiles in Rodriguez and Roberson, especially with Roberson having much worse command. But they clearly think they have a plan to level up these RP so we'll have to see if they're right. Roberson will have 3 option years once added to the 40 man while Rodriguez was down to one, so I suppose that plays into it too.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Yeah that's the hardest thing, we'll never know if the other org is high or low on one guy or another so even if the value is appropriate it might not be the winner. In that vein though, scanning the list of 1B production by team I don't see anyone that would likely be desperate to add Alonso, so his market may not be as robust especially with their not being any rental bargain to be found. But it only takes one and the Mets don't seem desperate to move him.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    I kinda wonder how close something like Wicks + Caissie gets you. That lacks premium upside but not to the point that they're bench/AAAA options, and you're getting AA+ in both to hedge against that.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    You got it boss
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    If Verlander were still at his post-Tigers level this would be an interesting exercise of whether they'd find it worth it to jump into the LT to be opportunistic on top end talent. As it is, Verlander is 40, missed time to injury, has lost half a tick in velo, and isn't striking people out at an elite rate anymore. Still a good pitcher but on the Stroman/Montgomery tier and not worth the roster rearranging and cost it would require.
