    Varland can either get traded for (if the team really likes him) and optioned or sent back to LAD.
  2. SF70
    Team just got better with Perkins now back at Nashville.
  3. SF70
    Not a fan of adding to the already jam-packed Nashville pitching-staff.
  4. SF70
    Understandable considering the injuries and LHP faced. No Mitchell, Urias, Taylor, Frelick, Woodruff, Ashby, Houser has caught-up to them
  5. SF70
    This team is in great shape bullpen-wise this season. Besides Peguero, Andrews, Uribe, Wilson as possible HL arms, they also have Gasser & Small, who have started to make progress throwing-strikes at AAA. Ways to go, especially Small, but the progress is real.
  6. SF70
    The team is going with experience over talent/performance this early in the year. I think a month from now, if Andrews is still dealing, he gets the call. same with Uribe, although that might be a little further down the season.
  7. SF70
    Yeah, I know, but why won’t he get called-up the second-half of the season if he’s healthy and hitting?
  8. SF70
    Why? He should be back playing for Nashville late June.
  9. SF70
    Let’s hope so. With the ridiculous amount of long-term injuries this team has suffered already this early in the season, they need a sharp and strong Corbin Burnes the rest of the year for this team to have a chance to get to the playoffs.
  10. SF70
    But sell what? An injured Woodruff? A struggling Burnes? A 91mph Lauer? I suppose Adames, but even TT and Urias might be tough to move after their injuries.
  11. SF70
    So since the second-half of the ‘22 season until right now — a slightly above average league starter — a weak #3? sound about right?
  12. SF70
    Andrews has been dominant for Nashville and pounds the zone with 3 above average pitches. Small has started to find the zone in his last 2 outings but still has to string more strike-throwing outings together before he’s ready to help the big-club.
  13. SF70
    The rotation is hanging-on by a thread. Houser is injury-prone, the same with Miley. Lauer sitting 90-92. Rea is probably a mirage. Junk is junk. Gasser can’t command. With Woody & Ashby down long-term, the team can’t afford any more injuries to their starters and expect to get to the deadline in serious contention, imo.
  14. SF70
    Come June this team could be looking up at the standings unless Burnes turns it around quickly., and I’m not just talking about Pittsburgh either.
  15. SF70
    His whiff-rate has plummeted because he’s lost command of all his pitches, but especially his cutter. And until he can re-gain that command he’s going to be nowhere near the ace-caliber pitcher he was prior.
  16. SF70
    The team was super-high on Andrews before his TJ, and now that he’s 100% and throwing as hard as he ever has (94-95 with deception) and has 3 above average pitches with pretty good command of those pitches, I think he could get the call anytime now. Uribe probably needs more time but he also could go straight to MKE from Biloxi with the stuff he has. If he keeps stacking clean innings throwing 100-102mph with his ridiculous SL he should be up sooner than later.
  17. SF70
    Clayton Andrews is ready. He should be the call-up to Guerra’s DFA. Uribe’s getting closer, but probably needs a few more clean outings.
  18. SF70
    Defense is underrated. Speed as well. Agree McCutcheon is vastly over-performing his talent-level. But the pitching gains are real and it’s because of that pitching, Pittsburgh is a much improved team.
  19. SF70
    Bello has only started 1 game and got hit pretty hard in less than 3 innings, albeit with 5 K. Last years 11 start 2.94 FIP performance rookie season speaks to his vast talent and stuff. Hopefully it takes at least 1 more start before that talent shows itself again.
  20. SF70
    The Pirates pitching is vastly underrated and has transformed them into team to be reckoned with. Playoffs probably not. 82 wins— quite possible. Keller and Oviedo have taken big-steps forward and with the age-less Rich Hill continuing to get outs and Roansey Contreras pitching like his stuff warrants, they have the makings of an average to maybe even an above average starting-staff. Collin Holderman has really exploded onto the scene and given the team a dominant set-up man for David Bednar. Duane Underwood & co are underrated middle-relievers as well. Then add their young, fast and talented positional players to that improved pitching-staff and suddenly you have a pretty good team.
  21. SF70
    This smallest-market team in baseball isn’t going to extend pitchers unless it’s on a team-friendly, early-pre-arby deal. Jimmy Nelson’s injury is a perfect example of why not to extend 30 year old starters for big money. Way too much risk. They haven’t extended positional players because they haven’t developed any until now. I’m expecting multiples of Turang, Frelick, Mitchell, Wiemer, Chourio, Quero, Contreras to be extended over the next 1-3 years.
  22. SF70
    Hoping to see Robert Gasser rotation sooner rather than later. He’s fully stretched, has whiff ability and is part of the post-Burnes/Woodruff rotation anyhow. A few more Nashville starts with improved stride-throwing should do the trick.
  23. SF70
    Doom & gloom, jeesh. Its a muscle injury, not structural, with a healing-time of 6-8 weeks. Add 4-5 weeks of ramp-up and even if it’s 13 weeks, he’s back before August. The team just needs to hang-in there until Woody’s back and should have a good opportunity to do so with getting Houser back soon and being able to add the likes of Gasser, Andrews and Uribe as the season moves along to strengthen the staff.
  24. SF70
    But it’s a sub scap strain, which is closer to a 3 month recovery including the stretch-out. Woodruff said if the injury had happened mid-season he probably wouldn’t have pitched again this season — so closer to 3 months.
  25. SF70
    I don’t think any of the 3 pitchers you mentioned are injured. Lauer’s velo has dropped before when his mechanics got out of whack, which is what I think is happening now. Bush, was babied in ST and still probably has to build-up arm strength. Strez’s velo isn’t down all that much and hopefully he gets it back with more innings.
