  • best comment i read so far about the contract length.   "There are Phillies fans not yet born that will be throwing batteries at him in the later years of this contract".

  • From Levi Weaver's column in The Athletic:  

  • Gammons rambles way too much and it's like his editors are afraid to touch his work, but I like him because he loves baseball.  Not just MLB.  Gammons loves BASEBALL. And he hit this one out of t

He will replace jansen as the closer before the all Star break.

Jansen is recovering from surgery to correct a heart condition that had weakened him last year.  I expect him to have recovered come April.

 

But it's nice to know Kelly is there.

You're probably right. I think they will use him more in the 7th and the 8th. I hope he has success there. Loved him in St Louis. Always seemed like he was on the edge of breaking through

KC signed Terrance Gore to a $650K/$350K split MLB deal. He’s out of options & won’t make the OD roster. Why can’t they divorce themselves from this guy? They sold him last year, now he’ll be a fairly rich AAA scrub. He has one more career hit than Beau. And if there’s exactly one thing KC needs more of, it’s fast guys that can’t hit. 

How did I not know he didn't have a hit until this past year?  He's been around 5 years now.  I don't get why he even plays the minor league seasons.  Can't he stay in shape at home and be ready to go pinch run for someone in the playoffs?

Can the yankees plz sign Machado? His bitch ass would fit perfectly

i was watching when that happened but i was doing other stuff.  i had to rewind my dvr just to make sure i heard it correctly.

in his defense, slugging is one of those brand new sabermetric/moneyball/advanced analytics stats and you can only keep up with so much information.  right?

 

Trevor Cahill to the Angels for 1 yr 9 mil.  

Basically the same player as the hype machine Eovaldi last season

You sound butthurt.

Definitely not butthurt.

Hey, what they should have done at the trading deadline....

They seem to be incapable of just admitting the Desmond mistake and moving on.

Too much money invested in him on their budget to just move on.

Lower right about :22, former MLB C Hector Sanchez decks the dude that started it. Wasn’t ejected either.

yep. Eovaldi is one of the stranger cases of someone being overhyped recently. he's been the same guy his whole career; he throws gas; he's mediocre; he got hot late last season; that suddenly makes him a coveted FA?

 career numbers: .454 win percentage, 4.16 era, 1.348 WHIP, 640 k in 850 IP. just staggering numbers. total dominance.

He started throwing a cutter last year which he didn’t throw with the Yankees. He’s different than this his career numbers would indicate 

I think there is more value in the Cahill signing than Eovaldi's, but 2018 was arguably the best season of Eovaldi's career (on a rate basis), and certainly his best since 2014.  He was not mediocre (there were maybe 30 SPs better than him last year on a rate basis).  He also significantly changed his pitch mix last season by upping his cutter usage, making it harder to contact his four-seam (probably through some tunneling effect).  His four-seam has typically underperformed its velocity, but last year he was able to get the SwStr% on that pitch over 10%, giving him three different double digit SwStr% pitches (not very many SPs can do this).

Anibal Sanchez to the Nats. They must be gambling that he will do better than Roark bc they are paying roughly the same. Probably holding on further moves until Harper signs somewhere

Profar traded to A's

Looks like the A's and Rangers got good value from that trade.  Brock Burke looks really interesting.  Great numbers last year in AA at a relatively young age.

Soooo I guess Harper to LAD is gonna be announced forthcoming then 

So one of the NL’s richest teams is dumping salary on one of the NL’s poorest teams?

How do you trade puig?  I don’t care who you hope to get

Because he’s gone next year as a FA anyway. Now they clear $ to stay under the luxury tax threshold for whoever else they want to add.
