9/13 GAME DAY thread ... Game Two vs Nats

[Southcack77]

I think it would be a good defense. I think studs at a lot of positions is a bit too premature though.

Is there some reason Adams would be considered a stud defender?

[msstate7]

Minter, Viz, Ramirez, Winkler, Freeman make a really nice core for next year's BP.

Wait till you see lindgren's slider

Did I really need to qualify this? Major team sport. You guys...

Are you implying Curling is not a major team sport?

[50PoundHead]

Dusty is so dumb for sending Scherzer out on 100 pitches... all to get that magical win

That's been Dusty's MO from his first managing gig onward. I wouldn't doubt the Gnats' starters shuddered and beefed up their insurance policies when he was hired.

Well, maybe I need more information.

It's the second most popular winter sport in Canada

I think some people assume if you are fast in the outfield that you are a stud defender.

Akeel Morris needs to be part of the conversation too. His control improved considerably the last two weeks in AAA.

They've got high hopes for Lindgren as well...Viz, Ramirez, Winkler, Freeman, Minter, Morris and Sims is very solid

[sturg33]

Don't forget about Corbin Clouse!

I wish both leagues had the same policy on the DH - add it in the NL or drop it in the AL.

I also wish each team had 26 players (not 25) just for flexibility.

True wipe-out pitch. His absolute floor, if healthy, is basically an insane LOOGY.

When is Lindgren suppose to get healthy?

[Enscheff]

Gohara showed the control needed to be a 2-pitch 3 win SP tonight. If he refines that change he will be the TOR guy we are all hoping for.

[Tapate50]

Don't forget about Corbin Clouse!

Just because of his name, I picture this guy in sleuth getup with a magnifying glass and a pipe .

1) I was so encouraged by Gohara's start against a really good lineup.

2) I can't believe our bench has gotten so good

3) Albies has impressed the hell out of me

4) We have a legit shot to not suck next year

5) Some good arms emerging from the pen: Minty, Freeman, Winkler to go with Viz and Ramirez

What are your thoughts on how we should spend dollars next year? Would you be against Addison Reed?

I think we trade Viz, sign a reliever, and then go youth the rest of the way. McGhee, Shaw, Reed, and Nicasio all make sense. McGhee would be my preference

I would prioritize a starting pitcher (along the lines of Cobb, Garcia or Lynn) and a catcher (would love to bring Suzuki back). Bullpen would not be a priority. Nor would third. I think we need to find out what we have in Camargo. If he doesn't pan out, there is another rebuilding national league team that we might match up very well in terms of them needing some pitching and us needing someone to play third. But I would give Camargo at least half of 2018 to show us what he's got.
