JJ Hoover has been unscored upon in his last 21 appearances.
It covers 24 2/3 innings, which is the longest active streak in the majors. Hoover has struck out 29 while allowing just 11 hits and seven walks over the span. The right-hander credits a mechanical adjustment for his success, though he wouldn't reveal exactly what he changed. "I don't want to say what it was," he said. "It was small and minor, but it makes a world of difference."

Good for Hoover. Just another guy the Braves drated and developed that made it to the big leagues. The list is VERY long.

Chase Headley has been SOOOOO awesome. Too bad Wren didn't open up the vault!

Good player but not worth trading CJ+ for.

CJ as in Chris Johnson?

Obviously.

 

[gilesfan]

Obviously.

So you wouldn't trade CJ + what specifically for Headley? Would you trade CJ for Headley, straight up?

Honestly, no given Headley is a FA after this season and we probably can't sign him to an extension.

It would probably cost Sims, Wood, or Graham plus CJ for Headley. As well as a couple lesser prospects.

LOL

We get CJ for a bag of donuts and he has a career year. Then Heyward wouldn't trade him for Headley.

And what happens when Headley walks for nothing at seasons end.

Who plays 3B then, Einstein.

Headley is not a star level player. I'd still love to have him but I wouldn't love to pay him what he is going to get.

You formed that conclusion on half a year when he's coming off a big injury? Cool.

I am assuming you sigh him. Which, he is a star player (and will certainly show it in the rate states if he leaves Petco)

No, his whole career.

Depends what you mean by star?

How much would it cost to extend him, 8-10 mil, 15+ mil?

More?

I'd do 8-10 or so, 15+, meh not that good.

 

[gilesfan]

No, his whole career.

How much weight did you put on his OPS+ the last 3 years of 120, 145, 101 (wrist injury)

Just as a comparison McCann 122, 86 (when thethe said he was done), and 133.

 

[Heyward]

Headley has one good/elite season.

Mac when healthy is a top 3 C in baseball.

 

[BRule]

No, his whole career.

I'm curious how you came to that conclusion because the last 2 years + his away splits + actually watching him play, suggests otherwise.

 

[gilesfan]

Headley has one good/elite season.

What do you call OPS+ of 120 with good defense?

 

[BRule]

This is not factually correct.

 

[Heyward]

Ok, two.

He's had one elite season which he won't repeat.
