Good Dog posted:Where would the Padres have even played Turner? With Manny at 3rd and whatever is going on with Tatis' suspension/injury at Short, with Kim having a fantastic year there in his place, and Croenworth having an all star season at 2B there doesn't really seem to be room for him. Why not just DH Tatis ... for however many games he'll be eligible for

No Safe Word posted:Why not just DH Tatis ... for however many games he'll be eligible for Tatis strikes me as the type of dude who needs to play to hit. But they were also already talking about putting him in the OF a bit before he got suspended so if they were really in on Trea you'd have to think that would be the plan. (Or moving Cronenworth to 1B full-time since they have not much doing there.)

You won’t be getting another JV internally, but now you have Framber as your #1 ace and Urquidy is back in the regular rotation instead of your #6 starter/potential trade piece. Framber Javier McCullers Garcia Urquidy Brown to replace anyone who has an IL stint. The rotation will definitely miss JV, but it’s not a do-or-die gap that becomes an off-season signing priority.

Your downside is that the bats aren't as elite when they're moved down the defensive spectrum and, as FlamingLib notes, that rotation (and bench) need some love. Have to imagine the logic centers around Machado's optout opportunity (which I thought Soto was intended as insurance/an alternative spending target for). Or they'll just spend $everything on former Preller targets. I respect it

Penisaurus Sex posted:I don't think the Astros are well positioned to replace 175 IP of 220 ERA+ pitching internally. As promising as Hunter Brown is that's, uh, tough. yeah well - no player in the MLB did that other than Verlander - it was an all time performance across a season. Since they raised the mound in 1968 - only 5 other pitchers Maddux (2x), Pedro (2x), Clemens (2x), Greinke (1x), and Dwight Gooden (1x) have had a higher ERA+ as an SP for a season (caveat - there were a bunch of SP's who exceeded that in 2020 across like 70 IP). The Verlander trade exceeded my wildest expectations. 2 World Series, 3 AL pennants, 2 Cy Youngs (one Cy Young runner up) across what was essentially 3.5 seasons pitched for the Astros. All of that was for like Daz Cameron and some other dudes - it may be one of the best trades ever. Sab0921 fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Dec 6, 2022 |

It's without question a downgrade but there still isn't a huge hole in the rotation, at least not in the top of the rotation. McCullers barely pitched last year and when he did he still clearly had some rust so that'll help as well and hell even if JV stayed I don't think it's overly likely he repeats the season he just had That said, I wouldn't mind if the Astros took a shot at Syndergaard or someone. Rodon for sure ain't happening but the next step down might look worth a shot at

Again, the Astros don't need SP. They need a DH and/or another outfielder. They are about close to done and complete as a team can be.

Why is everyone so cool with Alvarez playing LF every day except me. I don't want him in LF. Every time he faceplants on a tough play I worry about his kneesbawfuls posted:what? don't they have the best DH in the game already? For some reason it seems to have been accepted that Yordan will continue to play LF. He was in LF because there was no one else!

Out of the three guys the Astros are supposedly targeting, assuming each man performs close to his typical season, I'd rather have Brantley back than Conforto or Benintendi, and I'd rather keep Maldy and Vazquez/prospect platoon than get Contreras. IMO.

Sab0921 posted:They got the DH with Abreu. Just re-sign Brantley and Vasquez and call it a day. Abreu is not the regular DH. He may do it sparingly as he did with the White Sox. He's the everyday 1B and yes Brantley is my choice as well but I think they are waiting to see how his shoulder plays out. May be awhile before he signs with someone.

It's the second time he's had the procedure on his right shoulder in seven years  I presume that the Astros are waiting to see what his prognosis is, how his rehab is going, etc, but I'd sure love to have him back.

I really, really hope the Cubs are genuinely trying to land one of the top SS FA's and making competitive offers, and not just blowing a bunch of smoke so they can say "lol we tried", I'm so loving sick of the Cubs acting like a middle market team like we're back in the goddamn Tribune years.

i'm sorry to my 'strosposting friends, but banging on cans will never stop being funny to me. i have never cared at all about the cheating, that's whatever, but please let me make cans jokes, they literally hit garbage cans with a bat, it's such a delightfully stupid meatheaded baseball thing and i will never stop laughing about it or the cardinals cybercrimes. Frank is going to be a loving legend in Japan.
