    So excited to follow Carolina with all of the young talent on both sides of the ball. This has to be one of the youngest low A teams in baseball.
  2. SF70
    I’d go Gasser-CRod-Ashby in that order. They said weeks on Gasser, not months, so guessing he could rotation if needed by May. Ashby is far from being big-league ready sitting 92. CRod could rotation anytime, although it would be preferred to get him a couple of months of AAA starts first.
  3. SF70
    No hurry on Ashby. I believe he has 2 more option years including this year so they have plenty of time for him to get the velo back.
  4. SF70
    No. More than half the contract would be for past-prime performance years which this SM team should never do — ever, especially now that they have a prospect-procurement system capable of keeping their farm system strong for years ahead.
  5. SF70
    Yes.
  6. SF70
    I think better. He added a splitter he can throw to combat LHH’s and he’s had more time to work with the team’s PDS. The team getting a team option next year on Rea tells me they think there’s a decent chance they can get a couple of nice seasons out of him as well.
  7. SF70
    Yeah, 92 isn’t going to cut it. I thought he was sitting 93-95 in ST before his last couple of outings, but maybe I’m misremembering. Hoping as the season moves along his velo can get back to 94-95.
  8. SF70
    Agree with your analysis of the Reds defense. They’re missing 2 of their best defenders McLain & Friedl, Benson is out of position playing CF. Candelario is terrible at 3B, CES/Steer aren’t good defenders at 1B/LF respectively. India is not good at 2B. Injuries have destroyed their defensive potential this year, even Marte, while not a good defender is better than Candelario. The season-ending injury to Arroyo, who is a plus IF defender keeps them from getting any real help from down below. It will improve some when they get Friedl back in May and Marte in July, but this will still be an average to below average defensive team the second-half of the season.
  9. SF70
    McLain had left shoulder surgery performed last week, out for most if not the entire season. Friedl broke his wrist and is out until some time in May. Arroyo had shoulder surgery and is out for the year. Williamson, LHSP has shoulder pain and is out indefinitely.

    In ‘22, Ashby’s ave FB velo was 95.9 on the 4-seam and 95.8 on his sinker, so he’s 3 ticks off, currently.
  11. SF70
    From MKE’s point of view, they likely look at Adames’s ‘24 WAR near 4, less $12M in salary, plus the pick value near $10M, so they probably need near $30M in prospect value returned, imo, far more than Andrew Friedman would pay, which is why Mookie Betts is at SS for the LAD.
  12. SF70
    Not seeing Misiorowski rotationing this year at all. He’s quite a ways away imo. Command, stamina & innings. Even if his command improves enough for him to get through 6 innings, he has to show he can hold his velo deeper into starts. Then the innings buildup needs to happen. This season—110-120, next season 140-150. Bullpen, yes. Maybe as early as this September.
  13. SF70
    I for one will be disappointed if Monasterio gets 400 AB’s. That likely means some poor play by Ortiz, Turang or heaven forbid, both. I like Monestario in a utility role, not as a starter.
  14. SF70
    Lara-YRod-O’Rae and that’s it, for me. Once Chourio graduates, the farm doesn’t have the depth of OF they’ve had the last few years. Fortunately, they have a large group at the big-league level plus Black who they could move to the OF. This gives the team a couple of drafts and possible trade returns to get that depth depth back to levels accustomed to.
  15. SF70
    This is one of the few teams in baseball that can absorb a half-season loss of one of the best closers in baseball due to the depth of relievers. Disagree they need to find a closer. Bullpen by committee, work the matchups, reduce the back to backs.
  16. SF70
    Absolutely, Rosiak is wrong having Megill in the minors to start the year. Even if Williams makes the OD roster, Megill should make the roster as well.
  17. SF70
    An overpay by Andrew “Mr prospect hugger, I need to “win” every trade I make” Friedman isn’t happening.
  18. SF70
    I sure hope they don’t wait until the end of May. 15 days in and a call-up at worst. The guy has the arsenal to be a true 6 inning starter of we which are in short supply.
  19. SF70
    Reports of his velo ticking up to 96/97 as a reliever last year at AAA for the Giants tells me that should be his role for MKE IF they keep him. In his last ST outing, his velocity dropped precipitously after 20-25 pitches and I just can’t imagine the team making him a starter over a Robert Gasser or even a Bryse Wilson.
  20. SF70
    Glad we have him, but I’m hoping to see him pitching 3-4 inning stints out of the pen, not starting games for the team, unless it’s a planned tandem or bullpen game. Not seeing a 2-pitch pitcher having success past 3 maybe 4 innings.
  21. SF70
    Serious Injury or total collapse is all that will keep Adames from a $150M+ contract. No way he accepts the QO this team gives him this offseason.
  22. SF70
    Tremendous analysis. Between you, Spencer, Jack and Arem, I’m convinced, with good health, Hall is a future frontline starter and potential ace for this team. 3 plus pitches with 2 more potentially on the way, along with fast improving command makes the Burnes trade a potential steal.
  23. SF70
    So his FB up a tick over his sim game — progress. I actually liked what I saw from Ashby yesterday. His breaking-stuff looked really good, and while his command wasn’t good, for most of his outing he was around the plate. I think with more work his velocity will continue to tick up, and I’m hopeful at some point this season he’ll get all the way back. And a 96-98mph Ashby with his secondaries is a nasty pitcher.
  24. SF70
    Prior to yesterday’s outing, Ashby was sitting 92-94, so a solid 4mph to get all the way back.
  25. SF70
    No extensions to pitchers unless it’s a big-time team friendly deal like Peralta’s and Ashby’s deals are. This team pumps out quality relievers like the reliever factory they are. This team is set up perfectly over the next half-decade with their farm system that they don’t need to extend anyone unless it’s the right deal and for the right player. Top positional prospect talent only.
