  1. My thought was similar Black, Crod (any non misi/Gasser pitcher), Wiemer/Mitchell, younger pitcher Manny Rodriguez/Bishop Letson/Ryan Birchard
  2. Think of all the players that have been fringe players that Arnold (maybe some Stearns) has added that have been key contributors over the years. Hudson, Megill, Hoby, Wlison, Perk, Bauers, Myers, Koenig, Paredes probably more were all essential guys who didn't have a 40 man spot elsewhere and have turned into key contributors.
  3. Is Ortiz and/or Hudson eligible for a draft pick return if either is rookie of the year or runner up? There are a ton of really good pitchers Imagana, Yoshida, Skene, Jared Jones but Ortiz is in a good spot on the offense side.
  4. Luzardo has been good and would be a perfect target. I am guessing we would need to give up Misi/Black and 2 of our top 10ish other prospect maybe a lower lotto type prospect. Peralta, Luzardo, Woody, Gasser, Rea/Misi/Wilson would be an amazing rotaion next year. I would probably pay up for him if the price doesn't get to crazy. Would Cal Quantrill or Austin Gomber be of interest? They have been good in Colorado this year but have up and down pasts. I would guess neither would cost tip prospects but would get a decent return. Both seem to be striving on offspeed pitches, I would far prefer Quantrill to Gomber based on his success in Cleveland.
  5. Pretty sure he wasn't hit in the forearm, but good to know thanks.
  6. We definitely need to draft a decent catcher or 2. I don't think we really need one in the 1st couple rounds. Someone like Matt Wood would be nice and then maybe an upside high schooler somewhere. Without much research Cole Messina looks like a nice target in like round 3 or 4, good bat that could switch to 1st or 3B if catching isn't a long term option.
  7. Any news on Megill, that looked rough and I assume the IL is looming even if it's just bruised that type of contact would seem to be a few days out at least.
  8. In a perfect world we wouldn't trade anyone but Black is going to have to play a position. With Yeli long term 1st might be the only option left. I don't want to trade Black at all but if left ends up being his only option we might be forced to deal him. I still have this perfect lineup in my head to start the year of Black, Ortiz, Turang, Wilken, Yeli, Chourio, Mitchell/Weimer, and Contreras for the future.
  9. Gasser is looking like a good chance to be a solid #3 with some #2 upside if he can strikeout a few more hitters. Baseball savant list him throwing a 4 seam fastball and sinker both at 93 mph and 23 % of the time each. Does anyone know if that is just the fastball twice, I don't remember him having a sinker listed as a prospect or noticing it the couple games I've been able to watch.
  10. Maybe next year we could make him like part time left, half time 1st, and part time DH. I think alot will depend on if Mitchell can stay healthy and play well, Rhys as well for option purposes. Right now he is looking like a leading candidate in a trade to get a controllable young starter at the deadline.
  11. Hicks had 2 months of control, had a 3.67 era/0.3 war and was terrible the previous 2 years coming off injury. Hoby has 2.45 era with 0.5 war, under 2 era last year and 1.5 years of cheaper control. Payamps has 2.5 years, current 4 era, coming of 1.6 war as 8th inning man on playoff team. I get that teams will put a premium on the big arm but good teams will put more value on outs. I don't expect an equal return as Hicks but just trying to backup my point that Milner and Payamps are worth more than a AAAA prospect. My original point was that they should get a top 20 prospect and maybe more.
  12. Last deadline similar trades. Pierce Johnson (free agent, 6 era) for Victor Vodnik (10th prospect) and Tanner Gordon (26th prospect) Kendall Graveman (3.48 era, 1.5 years at 8 million each) for Korey Lee (Astros #2 prospect 2022, not sure where he was when traded) Jose Cues (4.54 era, lots of control) for Nelson Velasquez (#16 in 2022, not sure ranking when traded, had 33 HR last year) Keynan Middleton (3.96 era, free agent) for Juan Cirela (currwnt CWS #27 prsopect) I would say Hoby and Payamps both have much more value than any of those guys. I know Jordan Hicks throws 100 but I would say each of those guys value wise could be close to Hicks. He got Robberse and Kloffenstein current 12 and 16 for Cards (7 and ? when traded).
  13. I am not huge on Culpepper, at the comp. pick ok but he seems like a 3B that won't hit enough. If we could save money with the 1st 3 picks I would guess there is a good chance one of those upside HS kids fall and we can get them in the 2nd/3rd. I like Kyle DeBarge alot as a Boeve style pick, ranked 73 on mlb.com (Louisiana Lafayette). He is a bit small but has super quick hands. .361/.429/.723 21 hr 10 sb 24/26 bb/k Solid in cape cod last year and hit .371 in 2023.
  14. Within the next month we will have to lose couple guys. There just aren't enough 26 man or 40 man spots. Hoby, Peguero, Payamps, should all get a decent prospect not huge but top 15-20, maybe a 2nd decent piece. Uribe will have value maybe in the range of a top 15 prospect. Devin will easily rebuild his value up if he can look good for 10 games or so. Megill and Hudson probably have big value but they are not the guys to trade since they will be dirt cheap the next 3/4 years. I guess my point in saying we should trade say Payamps and Hoby is that I would rather lean on our management/development. Keep say Bauk, Paredes, Clarke and get prospects for Hoby and Payamps to me that is sustainable. Say next month we trade Payamps to Texas for Dane Acker and like a lotto Then Hoby to the Yankees for Ben Rice We get a good arm and upside bat and still have Devin, Megill, Hudson, Peguero, Koenig, Paredes, Uribe, Hall, Clarke, Bauk, Zas, Ross/Myers and maybe Misi, Thompson, CarRod. We still have depth and high end arms and save money towards next year.
  15. Cam Smith and Tommy White would be nice. It seems like we have been targeting ccollege players who walk more than k. Neither quite fit that mold but are close.
  16. He throws 97-100 with decent secondary pitches. By no means is he going to put it together but if he does there is a good 7th/8th inning setup man possible.
  17. After Paredes looked so good today what is our plan for the bullpen when everyone gets healthy. I think if we are serious about being a contender we need to add a top of the rotation arm. By my count we could have 16 relievers by the deadline. Say our rotation is Peralta, trade addition, Rae, Gasser, Wilson that leaves alot of options. Devin, Megill, Hudson. Payamps, Peguero, Milner, Koenig, Hall, Junis, Bauk, Paredes, Uribe, Clarke, Misi, Ross, Myers that doesn't count guys like Thompson, Zastrzny, CarRod and others in AAA who could be options. That is to many arms to hide in AAA or even keep on the 40 man. I have brought up trading Hoby based on 1.5 years of control and the value of his track record. Joel Payamps might be my second trade option, if he put in a couple solid weeks and get the old era down a bit he should have some value. Maybe as a second or 3rd piece in a deal for a good controllable pitcher Uribe would make sense. Obviously Devin will have a good market if he puts together a couple good weeks before the deadline as well. Who would be they top 3 relievers you would trade that could get us something decent back.
  18. Was Hudson unavailable today? I don't mind Peguero in the 8th, but with Duran and Abreu 2nd/3rd in that inning it seems like a Taylor made lefty spot. On the bright side Paredes look great. Explosive seems like the right word. We really are going to have massive bullpen depth when Devin, Hall, Clarke, Junis, Baukauskas, and whoever else I forgot get healthy. I still look at Hoby as a guy we could get something good for and would be able to replace.
  19. I had Guillarte on my list, at the time he was hitting .260's with power. A week or two later he is at .233 and I would prefer to put someone else in. Probably Di Turri up to 15 or so with how hot he has been.
  20. I like the lefty opener vs. lefty strong teams for Rea, Wilson, and Myers. Koenig could be perfect for that role, if they hide a guy or two lower in the order. Good job Pat.
  21. Should we start thinking of Flippo Di Turi in the same line of prospect as Yophery. Granted there is a big difference between the acl and A ball.
  22. In all likelihood yes, there are always going to be opportunities small moves here and there. I still think that when Mitchell comes back from his injury there is a good chance we trade an OF if someone will give us decent value for Perkins or Weimer (Royals, Guardians).
  23. Junk, White, Capra, and Roller are all on the 40 man and losing any of those won't really hurt. In my opinion we have better options in AAA that aren't on the 40 if we need to make moves. Kevin Herget is a step up but not a big loss either. So when Devin, Mitchell, Junis, Baukauskas come of the 60 day, we have guys who will be easy to lose. Jeferson Quero doesn't have a DL designation on the brewers website is that an error or are players not on the 26 man not eligible for DL designation? If so could we just promote him to the bigs for like 1 day put him on the 60 DL and then have another 40 man spot? My guess is that Taylor Clarke gets a chance in the bigs soon-ish as well. 1)cut White bring up Paredes 2)Hall re-instated for Blalock (2 starts for Blalock) 3) Clarke for Myers (maybe 2/3 starts if Clarke is stretched out and looks good and Myers is similar to first couple starts) 4) Black for Miller (less than a week) then Rhys for Black in a couple weeks 5)Mitchell for Weimer (maybe after 10 rehab games or so) 7) cut/dfa Capra/Junk for interesting guys cut from other teams, both likely aren't getting picked up by other teams in my opinion so we can probably keep them in the org..
  24. Blind resume said 93 mph average, suter is throwing like 87. Fedde is a better option than Crochet based on value. I would love Crochet but wouldnt give up top prospects maybe CarRod, EBJ, and Weimer which is nice value but no giant haul since none of those guys are playing well. Mike Clevinger could be an option, he only has 11 innings in so far. Would Blake Snell or Jordan Montgomery be to big of a risk with player option and neither pitching great.
  25. The Blue Jays seem to be the weak link in the AL East, they have lots of interesting options Vladdy Jr (1.5 years of controls), Justin Turner (not playing well as of now), Kikuchi (.5 years), Berrios (signed through 28 19mill-ish), Bassitt/Gausman (not pitching great, 1.5, 2.5 years respectively), Trevor Richards/Yimi Garcia (.5 years) There could be some other guys like Bichette, Varsho, Springer who could be of interest but aren't good fits. Berrios is a guy I would consider sending a big package for, he has been relatively healthy and efective at 19 million a year we could probably likely fit him in salary wise. Would anyone be willing to give up say Black, Lara, Wichrowsi, Henderson for him? I do feel like that seems like a lot for a # 2/3 30 year old. Kikuchi may make more sense but for the 1/2 year I wouldn't want to give up anything crazy maybe Henderson/Blalock and Clarke/Ernesto Martinez which probably isn't enough given what similar pitchers got last year.
