Squirmin' for Yermin

He has been a non-prospect for about 4 years.

Of course we need to give Madrigal an off day today guys... He is only hitting .474 since coming back!

He used to be very very good. Been very bad for 2 years nnow. I like this signing. No risk, some reward

I am a real big fan of Flores. I like this move. I assume Flores will take the start next time around until Rodon is healthy?

Grandal has .7 WAR already.. On pace for 1.4ish WAR.. Which in a normal year would be about a 4.2 WAR season... He doesn't have a high batting average and never will.. I see you use that as the be all, end all.. Stop it. Encarnacion, Cishek and Gonzalez were cheap deals so absolutely nothing is/was hurt by signing them...

what did he say?

Isan Diaz just opted back IN to the season (after opting out) and was granted approval.. I wonder how difficult it is to be approved. Theoretically, Kopech could opt back in? Especially since him was likely not COVID related. Just a thought.

I don't think you can go into a season you expect to REALLY compete with a potential question mark at closer (Foster, Burdi,Heuer). You have to sign/trade someone.

Put up or shut up.. You've got ~25 games to prove it!

To clarrify there are A LOT more SP that I'd want.. I just see him being super likely given the familiarity AND Reinsdorf's loyalty

1. Sign Quintana as our big SP signing. 2. Kopech comes back and is ready to go day 1 3. We trade for Benintendi 4. Trade for Edwin Diaz 4. Pickup option on Leaury 5. Decline, EE, Ciscek.

WOOOOOOOO

You've got the wrong Yermin you ding-bat.

Neither of them can sign until like January now right? OR what is the deal.

WTF are you even talking about.... How on earth is this not a playoff team? I am not complaining, I am asking and generating discussion that you have provided nothing but dumb shit to. I am talking the season as a whole, not one game.. I am using Robert as an example because he could be one of the highest base stealers in the league.

Couldn't agree more

Now I know stealing isn't always the smartest thing.. But I saw that we are 27th TWENTY-SEVENTH in the league in stolen bases.. We likely have a top 5 speed team in the league. How is this possible? Have we decided to not let them steal? Robert has only 4 but could get 40 easily. Moncada used to steal 30 in the minors, Anderson, Engle, etc.. Any insight?

Agreed.. You can't always be right

I always loved him pre-injury. I often thought he could be Quintana-esque. Not overpowering stuff but got the job done more than well and was a solid #3.

Bro, same.

I DO NOT WANT LYNN IF IT COSTS DUNNING I DO NOT WANT LYNN IF IT COSTS DUNNING I DO NOT WANT LYNN IF IT COSTS DUNNING I DO NOT WANT LYNN IF IT COSTS DUNNING I DO NOT WANT LYNN IF IT COSTS DUNNING

I hope not.. I want nothing to do with Lynn if he costs Dunning.

But two starts in a row might...

Wait.. isn't this guy an "insider" of ours? Or am i mistaking?

wow..
