  1. Joey Wiemer, Owen Miller, Blake Perkins All capable 4th OFers in the system now.
  2. And guys see uptick in their fastballs post-TJS. And it doesn't "top out" at 91, it tops out at 93. I've seen Crow pitch, have you? Or are you just reading an online blurb?
  3. You're making a stink over a 5th SP and a 4th OF. Those spots are not going to make or break us in the year 2024. Why? Because the year 2024 isn't the end goal. See the big picture.
  4. He's not playing over Chourio, Frelick and Mitchell when they're healthy. Taylor's "floor" is a sub .300 OBP with occasional power and good defense. I don't care about his floor. He's not immune to being terrible for stretches. You're massively overrating his impact. And no he didn't. All of Canha, Contreras, Santana and Taylor hit well the last 6 weeks.
  5. No...we didn't. Taylor wasn't going to get opportunities in this OF in 2024 and we've got an in-house Houser replacement in Gasser. We're going to get their production for less.
  6. Avina has a 30, maybe, if you're feeling generous, a 35 grade bat. He's going to get destroyed in the upper levels.
  7. One thing being true doesn't make other things untrue. You're crowing about a 4th OF when the strength of our system is the OF. We had several OFs that graded just as well or better than Tyrone. We dealt from a position of strength and gave up the least valuable piece to do so. Nobody is going to miss Tyrone Taylor. Where was Taylor getting the opportunities to produce in 2024? Because it certainly wasn't in this OF.
  8. I'm a massive prospect guy and this just isn't really true. Cam Devanney is a guy we see all over the minors that just never cuts it in the bigs. The Mariners have a better version of him just wasting away in Jake Scheiner (power with no real standout tools elsewhere). Brady is a low leverage reliever with a pretty bad strand rate in the minors. He's nothing.
  9. Houser is a nothing burger. He's an overpaid innings eater and he's failed at even being that the last 3 seasons. He was never pulling anything of value at his pay rate. Taylor is a 4th OF with a career OBP under .300. I think "high quality" is being used extremely loosely here. This is nothing more than a case of overvaluing our own. We also do pretty damn well developing guys with spotty fastballs. His command is legit and everything else is really solid. You get that fastball to tick up post TJS (and quite a few players do) and he's a viable player. Arnold did extremely well here in the gamble department.
  10. Excellent work by Arnold here IMO trading two guys with no future in Milwaukee for a highly intriguing arm with some upside. Not really sure what people are crowing about (pun intended lol) with this one. We're not going to miss Houser or Taylor.
  11. Austin Meadows but it would depend on where he's at with his mental health recovery.
  12. We would be beyond stupid to risk Burnes value by trying to compete in 2024.
  13. My anticipation level for the 2024 season couldn't be any lower
  14. lol Winker. Just tone deaf man. I can't take this franchise seriously, man. Mark like "I spent $8 Million on him, you're playing him, Craig!" Attanasio is a plague
  15. This franchise needs to totally revamp how they approach hitting, man. Whatever they are doing at the MLB level is just not it. Spend the money and fix it. It's not a talent issue, it's an organizational issue because it happens EVERY SINGLE YEAR regardless of who we put in the lineup.
  16. lol they had the balls to ask for $600+ Million from the state.
  17. That list came out on June 12th. They had him at #36 in March of 2022 with a 35+ grade but that was Kevin Goldstein. Eric Longenhagen has him at #17 with a 40+ grade now.
  18. I would not be shocked if we fast track Blalock as a bullpen piece. I love this deal. Urias had no future here IMO. The writing was on the wall with the Wilken and Boeve selections and his likely non-tender next year.
  19. Nobody said anything about trading for a rental or that it had to be an expensive upgrade. And even if those two do come back, it's not like Houser can't be upgraded. They should 100% be scouring the market for an arm. Arnold would be failing at his job if he weren't.
  20. Teheran and Rea have been fine for what they were asked to come in an do, in fact more than fine, but we should also be exploring the market for another arm if we're serious about trying to compete. I'm not saying push our chips in but the sole focus shouldn't be on acquiring another bat or two. If Woody and Miley can't get healthy, it wouldn't matter if we traded for Mike Trout, you aren't winning anything with a rotation of Burnes, Peralta, Houser, Rea and Teheran.
