  1. Bauers gets the QO. A little interesting.
  2. Think my preferences are: 1 - Let him play out his final year before walking next offseason. We get the final year of his prime and try to go back to back. 2 - Trade him if the offer is something we can't turn down, then dip into FA/trades for his replacement. 3 - Trade him and hand the job over to Quero/Miller/temporary vet That's it. I'm not giving him a long term deal.
  3. Why not? Patrick's a long relief guy. He can step in an emergency if a starter is getting shelled. I don't know what Senzatela provides that the theoretical version of Woody doesn't.
  4. I don't think Harrison is even part of the equation. It's whether you trust Senzatela (RHP) or Woody (RHP). It doesn't matter what split you look at, Woody's better. I don't think this should be a difficult decision.
  5. Yea, to me it comes down to IP. Drew's averaging 7 IP over three postseason starts. Henderson's giving them 4.5 over two. It's obviously worked out for both teams, but when we're splitting hairs in terms of peripherals, I like guys who can go deeper. Their starters have the edge IMO, while we have the bullpen advantage. In the end it's splitting hairs either way. Swing of the bat kind of thing.
  6. I don't think Henderson vs Rasmussen is pretty close. Given the way Freddy has been pitching since he got to Tampa I don't think Freddy vs Henderson is close either. We need Miz to go game one if for no other reason that he could see more potential innings later in the series.
  7. We're gonna be in a situation where starters are going to see relief innings if needed. We've got multiple capable multiple inning relievers. Extremely unlikely that we're going to come close to needing all 13 relief pitchers. Let Woody onto the roster. Senzatela, thank you for your service.
  8. I didn't know about this rule. It definitely diminishes the chance he gets a spot on the roster. I would love to see Woody on the mound in a series clinching game (hopefully up by five runs). But I'm just not sure you can mess with what's worked the post-season, even if we haven't come close to using up our bullpen. I guess in the end I'm gonna trust the team and their evaluation of Woody.
  9. Thought this was interesting in the Longenhagen Prospect Chat today on Fangraphs:
  10. Good to see Thompson get the promotion.
  11. I actually think most would take Anderson. He's a potential ace that doesn't strictly rely on overpowering batters, though he's got a great fastball. But his arsenal, his command, all of it coming from the left side...I don't see a potential bust here. I think he's a frontline guy as soon as he steps into a Mariners uniform.
  12. Would think this means either an Adams promotion or a Wilken demotion or release.
  13. The real nice thing about Pratt and Lara signing those deals is they're both extremely tradable on them. I'm not saying I expect either to be moved, but I can envision a world where they're both good, solid regulars locked in to nice long term deals, and a couple of the guys behind them (whether it's Made, Pena, Adamczewski, Jett, Payne, Ebel, etc.) become so undeniable that they force the team to make move(s).
  14. I think the Naylor deal might have been a hint at where they're going with Contreras. I understand that Naylor has yet to light it up at the MLB level, but he's at least solid behind the plate. Him and Quero could make for the tandem at catcher. Megill should have value. I don't think Vaughn will.
  15. What do they do with all three players? Let Pena continue to develop in the minors for the next few years. Absolutely no rush. When he does arrive it's not like he couldn't make the transition to the grass, or potentially take Turang's spot when Brice is traded. Add Adams to the 40-man and give him a shot at Bauers role next season because Bauers will be gone. Fischer will be in AAA, still trying to figure out how to get his strikeout percentage below 33%. Coleman Crow is at the very worst a bullpen arm and will probably get occasional starts when injuries inevitably occur. None of them are blocked. They could all be around here a very long time.
  16. To believe that means believing if the Brewers called around with a package including some of Pena, Adamczewski, Frias, Ragsdale, Gasser, Jett, Fischer, Payne, Hardin, etc. that there was literally no one interested in surrendering the equivalent of Hope, an A+ arm a year from the Rule 5, and a 28 year old "prospect" SP. The fact that the deal was completed days before the deadline just gives extra credence to the idea that if the Tigers were interested in dealing with another team they could have done so.
  17. I don't know why you're pushing back on this. If the Tigers were dead set on getting a few near MLB-ready pitchers, the Brewers could have accommodated that by dealing with 28 other teams to find them arms.
  18. Yea, if only three and four team trades were a possibility we could have got in the game.
  19. I don't think it would have taken much effort to trade for a couple minor league relievers from another system.
  20. This was discussed earlier this morning, but I think it gives credence to the idea that the Tigers were never sending him anywhere but LA.
  21. You just said it. Make Bauers the RF and send Lara down. What's more important right now? Defense in right field or someone who has a wRC+ of 150 against RHP?
  22. In an ideal world Yelich would just retire or come down with a "back injury". And I want to see Lara out there as much as possible. But I want to see dudes who rake more.
