I agree. I think he slots perfectly as the 4 and if they are lucky, the 3.Quote:

Just look at this article .
About 2 paragraphs down it explains why his numbers from 2019 should not make someone think he is a sure thing in the rotation for 2021. In fact it even goes further and states that it may not be a good idea to have German pitch the second game in a playoff series .

Agree. I also think Garcia, after his baptism by fire in playoffs, could impress. Still wonder about his durability over the longer haul.Quote:

It explains why german’s era and wins numbers in 2019 are misleading and why as of right now and going into the 2021 season he shouldn’t be considered better than a #4 starter at best .Quote:

I suggested in a very simplistic, reductionist manner, using WAR alone, the combined value of Sevy and German was far greater than Bauer AND much cheaper without all the baggage.
The writer used more than just one stat to back up his opinion plus charts and graphs showing his pitching locations . And yes he did say fatigue could have been a factor for his struggles that season but he also said that it will be a factor for this coming season as well and is yet another reason why he shouldn’t be expected to be better than a #4 starter going into 2021 . Meanwhile you are basing your opinion one just one stat alone . That is hardly enough to assume he will a big factor in the upcoming season . Let alone to believe he will be better than Bauer this coming seasonQuote:

I don't know what kind of package would land him but if I'm Cashman I would look hard at him. Especially with the logjam of bats we have in the outfield and some prospects with no real shot at the 2021 rotation and with a big ? involving having a minors season in this pandemic.
Now that is a trade I could support and would be fine with . With him he could atleast be an innings eater behind cole .Quote:

Such an odd argument. It basically goes against everything else he fights about.
Not surprised given said poster though.
I agree doc. Half a season from Sevy and German(especially at their salaries) is a much better and probably more successful scenario, compared to Bauer.

This is the exact type of guy to pursue. Great, young, and cheap. They should be willing to give up a lot for Castillo.Quote:
