If we are still spending, I definitely want an impact starter. If we aren't, then I want us to employ the opener strategy, with Kopech as the lead man.

Backup C. I would not feel comfortable with Grandal going on the DL right now
The cavs pick is via Milwaukee so it’ll be late. Rockets still made out well in this deal
Yeah no way in hell they let Urban Meyer start his NFL Career with that kind of negativity of passing on Lawrence. Jags GM has to live and die with picking Lawrence or just die if he doesn't.
Alleged late 1st's or not, the Rockets were in NBA Hell with a polarizing egomaniac, and no path to a championship, and now they are on the mend. They needed a restart, and they got it. Only...
So Lauri and Wendell's per36 numbers are pretty damn good this year. They are both playing about 27 MPG a piece.
Lauri
23.4 PPG
9.2 RPG
1.7 APG
1.0 SPG
0.3 BPG
7.5 FGM
3.7 3PM
In the minors he's had some hot and cold spells. He finally put together a solid 2019 that was the stats you would expect from him. .280/.400 with solid HR/RBI/BB numbers. He just hasn't ran with...
Based on Hahn's rhetoric, that sounds like the likelihood. I'm sure they'll keep Vaughn down for service time early though. Which is fine with me. I don't think they will penalize Vaughn for the...
Molina is a 39 year old Catcher. He would be our backup catcher not our DH. Let him catch 2-3 games a week. That keeps Grandal fresh DHing the days he catches. You can use Eloy and Abreu at DH as...
Molina would he a huge get cuz that would allow us to DH Grandal more often
26 Roster Spots:
Eloy/Robert/Eaton/Engel/Leury
Moncada/Anderson/Madrigal/Abreu/Grandal/Collins
Giolito/Keuchel/Lynn/Cease/Kopech/Crochet
Reynaldo/Fry/Foster/Heuer/Marshall/Bummer/Hendriks
...
If he wants every 4 days, he isn't getting a long deal that's for sure. That'd be like flipping a coin on his health 2-3 year down the road
If they’re throwing 3 innings, maybe they can give a BP appearance a couple days prior to starts. Or say one goes 1-2 innings he’s available. I definitely thought about that though. I think it...
And with Reynaldo, you can use him to mop up the games where are starters get knocked out early.
An interesting concept that I'd entertain if we don't decided to add Bauer or a veteran, would be to Stretch out Kopech and Crochet as openers. So a rotation of...
Damn if we wanted to give Billy D and Arty Ammo to draft their own team, we could get a Crap ton for Lavine. Don't wanna do it, but looking at that deal, we'd at least get 3 1st's IMO
And Dipo!
Houston got FIRE back. If and when the Nets fail, those future picks are going to be nice. 5 1st round picks!!!
He’s raw still. Give it time. Glasnow wasn’t elite when he came up. People wanted Giolito gone 2 offseasons ago. Pitchers take time most of the time. Cease hasn’t even pitched the equivalent of a...
I’m more worried about our back up catcher than our DH situation.
Starter for sure. I would throw Vaughn in at DH pretty early on. We didn't really hold back with Eloy, Madrigal, or Robert. Don't see why we would with Vaughn, who hitting wise is probably the...
How would everyone rank our Rotation vs. the other contenders in the AL?
Blue Jays
Yankees
Rays
Twins
A's
Astros
Indians
Ideally we break the bank for Bauer.
If not, it'd be nice to add a veteran arm on a 1 year deal.
If not, it's not the end of the world going into the season with Cease/Kopech or Cease/Lopez. ...
I HD age less faith in Reynaldo cuz he’s been throwing in the bigs for a decent amount of time. I think Cease could make a Giolito jump this or next year. He hasn’t even pitched a whole season worth...
