    It does worry that Zeferjahn has walked a lot of guys in the minors too. But I guess Mo has some warts too.
  2. Stratos
    Since July 1st Zeferjahn has a 1.46 BB/9 in 12+ innings. K/9 over 15.0
  3. Stratos
    It's possible the Angels liked Mo better. We don't know. But from the reports it sounded like they wanted Ayers and settled on Mo. Or maybe Jed caved on Mo? Edit: oops I'm mixing up Zeferjahn and Detmers.
  4. Stratos
    I'll miss Mo. But Zeferjahn has a 15.33 K/9 and 2.56 FIP since June 1. Still lots of walks but if you start the inning with him you're probably good. If they can improve the walks he's truly elite down the line. Hopefully they think Ayers can catch next year, and better than Mo. I'm not super keen on bat-first catchers.
  5. Stratos
    It sounds like Detmers is a go. I trust Cerami here. But Jesse Rogers i assume still has good Cubs sources too.
  6. Stratos
    Maybe. Still a pen guy though, so cost shouldn't be crazy, and not at the top of other teams' lists right now. Jed doing the buy-low thing with relievers as usual. Has he ever just went and bought a good closer-type? I don't think so. He's never been the guy to go out and grab a Hoffman or Morejon and pay the going rate.

    Controlled through 2028. I like him longterm if he's healthy.

    Every team these days needs a Braxton. But they also need a Jace. I'll also admit to feeling awkward every time I had to spell Jonathon.

    The Pirates are really turning into a problem.

    Mlb.com gives Eyanson a 55 rating and #49 in top 100

    Reports coming in that Scott Hughes is Katy Perry's Booty Hole's secret burner account.

    WHAT?? Holy horsefeathers!!!

    Nobody can convince me Preller is a smart GM

    Logan O'Happ?

    Another SP upgrade would be great, I really hope they get that dominant late inning guy. We saw last year how valuable they and the pen in general were in the short series. In a 3- game series they'd likely pitch every game unless they're blowouts. The last game in each series were bullpen games (all hands on deck). Bregman/Swanson (and even Nico) not getting younger and Happ/Seiya likely gone this winter. This is the year to push in.
  18. Stratos
    Happ is hitting .148 avg/ 48 wRC+ vs LHP this year, by far worst on the team. Hit 98 wRC+ last year. Busch hitting 1110 wRC+ vs LHP. They have Shaw hopefully coming, plus Pedro can hit RH and play LF in a pinch. Maybe a RH corner OF/1B is ideal
  19. Stratos
    If that's the best the Jays could get for Gausman that bodes well for the rest of the SP and possibly reliever market. But the Jays would probably still have traded him for a bag of peanuts if that's all they could get just so they could dunnp the salary. Angels/Mariners etc aren't that desperate with their controlled SP.
  20. Stratos
    A few outs away from a World Series ring to last place is a pretty crazy falloff for a team that brought back virtually everyone except swapping Bichette for Cease and even adding a solid 3b.
  21. Stratos
    If I were a Jays fan I'd be PO'd with that deal.
  22. Stratos
    Batenan might be in CF for the Jays when we play them if they trade Varsho. Taillon very well could be in for Gausman. Would love to take Hoffman off their hands and make it a hat-trick.
  23. Stratos
    Same. Lots of opportunity to still add. We got a good SP without giving up a top 10 prospect.
  24. Stratos
    What a fantastic deal. We gave up some future bench guys at best. Gausman's peripherals look good, pretty much the same as the last 2 years. Has a bunch of playoff experience too, including WS vs Dodgers last year. He'd be my Game 1 pitcher. Would like one of the Angels SP but if he's it and they grab 2 really good relievers I'd be ok with that.
  25. Stratos
    Didn't know that about him, but did notice the huge BB% #'s. Yes i could see that as an issue for a player, I had that same issue a lot of the time when playing high school ball. Led the team in OBP and steals though haha. I was able to get over it, I'm sure not everyone could, just like being too aggressive as you say.
