    Gave up just 1 hit last night but walked 5. I wonder if the ump had a bad day or if he was wild. Either way hes been phenomenal since 5/28 - 1.35 ERA 2.88 FIP and an absurd .162 OBA in 60 IP. Just 1 HR allowed and that was on 6/5. His start prior to this was the only one he allowed more than 1 run. Really dominant stretch.

    Interested to hear what Jed had on the table
  3. We Got The Whole 9
    Yall brace yourselves. If we trade for Suarez that 4 year streak is history. Cruz and Franklin is a pretty steep price to pay for an expected stats darling rental.

    The freaking sample size (your fetish) is 4 years. Again, how many players playing one of the rarest positions around the league at the time and that are performing 30+% above league average have been traded? This is a unique case. The Cubs need RH power bad and up until the ASB had virtually no production out of the 3B position and they are desperate to make the playoffs, are seemingly in the sweepstakes even though the ask is 2 top 100 guys. Jed is willing to make major concessions IMO if we are still in that fight.

    But how long until ge reaches it? Frankly I think its a little outlandish considering he has firmly been a sub-200 ISO guy at every stop where he played a lot of games.
  6. We Got The Whole 9
    Wicks' arsenal grades out better than Horton's and Brown's but I dont trust him in mopup at this point. It's weird.
  7. We Got The Whole 9
    MVPete it is.
  8. We Got The Whole 9
    Yes?
  9. We Got The Whole 9
    He has never posted 20/20 in the minors but hes likely 20/20 most seasons in the majors? Color me skeptical. He has been league average offensively this year and theres a good chance he will get overwhelmed when the fastballs stop in the majors, its just not really a profile i would wager much on at this point.

    How many of those bats played a position where there was a major dearth across the league? How many were posting 130 in that season as well? Arizona has a major chip in their possession. We have also heard that Jed would be willing to part with Caissie for Mitch freaking Keller from a guy who is very plugged in.
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    Was it Kiley that left him out? It was a pretty big name.

    I said it several times throughout the year that I just don't think those guys have the type of value that most of you think they do. Alcantara is gonna be 24 next year with possibly one option remaining. We are not the only ones privy to the fact that he struggles majorly against non- fastballs. He doesn't steal but he might be a decent CF. What type of war can you project? He's borderline amd gonna fall off a lot of lists next year. Caissie's profile similarly doesn't bode well. Jason and others have admitted he might take a season or two to be a viable MLB bat. He's almost certainly going to be a platoon guy, maybe average COF defense. If he doesn't mash i just don't see him being rhat valuable. Maybe it was a brain fart but Longenhagen doesn't have him in his top 100, and that is pretty significant to me. My thing is, if im Arizona I am going hard after Rojas or Wiggins if Caissie is off-limits. 3B is just of massive scarcity and here's a guy who could hit 15 HR for you down the stretch. We are in heavy need of RH power. We are the team mostly linked to him, I believe. Jed has to be willing to make a major concession if that is truly the case. Suarez is a more valuable chip than most of the top rental bats that have been traded in recent years.
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    Alcantara is so borderline
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    I think it will be Caissie and Alcantara headlining a package for Suarez. Anyone think they would give Shaw some LF looks?
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    Way to kick their horsefeathers asses and get some RD space back
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    I seriously thought PCA was gonna hit a 2nd half wall and somehow he has improved, so far. Just a doubles machine right now. Out of our big bats I thought he was easily the most likely to slump hard.
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    Well that's a welcome sight
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    Man that must be one of the best sweepers in the game. Those were egregious chases.
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    Seems like Kelly has had a lot of pop-ups lately. Big bugaboo not adding on there.
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    Yes I like the sound of that.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    Much needed XBH from Tucker
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    Will they walk Tucker to face Seiya
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    Very nice, get a couple more
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    Huge
  25. We Got The Whole 9
    Pretty critical ABs here. Hold them to 1 at the most.
