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
December 15, 20187 yr Colorado Rockies and Mike Hampton. https://calltothepen.com/2018/12/14/colorado-rockies-finally-done-paying-mike-hampton/
December 18, 20187 yr 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.
December 19, 20187 yr 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?

December 20, 20187 yr Trevor Cahill to the Angels for 1 yr 9 mil. Basically the same player as the hype machine Eovaldi last season #FlameAway

December 21, 20187 yr 2/$24M for Daniel Murphy to Col. One article said he'll play 1B, Ryan McMahon 2B, Desmond LF.

December 21, 20187 yr Lower right about :22, former MLB C Hector Sanchez decks the dude that started it. Wasn’t ejected either.

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
December 21, 20187 yr 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).

December 21, 20187 yr 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
December 21, 20187 yr 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.
December 21, 20187 yr So one of the NL’s richest teams is dumping salary on one of the NL’s poorest teams? Edited December 21, 20187 yr by TheFlagship

December 21, 20187 yr 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.
