I would have a 2.00 ERA and 13 K/9 if I pitched as a reliever in the AL Central this year.

Big Mean Jerk posted:General consensus seems to be that we overpaid a bit, but there’s no denying Maldonado is a defensive upgrade even if his bat is mediocre. This is triage to cope with McCann’s injury and a lack of C depth. And... Why aren't we giving Garrett Stubbs a chance?

Soria has a 14.6 SwStr% and his FIP is 2.15, I think his skills should carry over to the NL. His peripherals are pretty much all in line with his best years.

Went to the barber after lunch and they had this show on that's basically Hollywood Squares but instead of being tic tac toe they just sit in chairs. But the same "joke answer/serious answer" format and it has Louie Anderson on it for some reason ANYWAY one of the questions was what does it mean to go deep in baseball. The comedian's serious answer was to play way back in the outfield. The contestant agreed. What the gently caress, who doesn't know what going deep is? Current mood: eating a bagel without separating the halves or toasting it

Boy I would have never guessed the Nats might be sellers at the beginning of the year. It still seems a bit premature to start a sell off, especially if they plan to sign Harper to a long term deal. But if they start selling I would think that means Harper is for sure gonna go elsewhere which is something I didn't think the Nats would allow to happen.

I liked Drury even though he hasn’t performed in the sporadic playing time he was given. Including the minor league stats this year, he doubled his walk rate, and has a high xwOBA. He also has really good plate coverage and can hit every zone hard. He also has 4 years of control.

He's been pretty awful this year and really pretty much every year sans 2017 (he hit well in 2016 but still managed a negative WAR thanks to his abysmal defense) but he's also young and cheap and controlled through 2021. It's a decent gamble to get back for 2 months of Happ.

from a Yankee fan perspective, I think this is a good deal for both sides. Yankees get a guy who's pitched in big spots and done well, and is also better than most people think. Drury is a guy who was never gonna play in this infield, not with all the talent on it. McKinney was similarly blocked. they were more valuable in a trade for a team that's trying to win this year. we also didn't hurt our depth at all with these last two trades so all in all i'm very happy with what the Yanks have done so far

I'm getting increasingly worried as more deals happen without DiPoto doing anything. Happ would have been a very decent innings eater for us over the second half.

It is a little nutsy that a team with 100+ wins could potentially get bounced from the playoffs in the wild card game, but that's baseball.
