other weird stats I came across today -- Markakis 11th on the active hits list.
Maybe not so weird, but I did not know that.

Well...next year (and maybe this year), we have Rivero, Winkler, Lindgren, Morris, Minter...just to name a few. We could definitely trade a couple of the guys this year if the haul was right. You never know when Viz and Ramirez will start being Viz and Ramirez again also 
Average FB velo according to FG:
Arodys Vizcaino 97.5
Jose Ramirez 97.3
Mike Foltynewicz 94.7
Luke Jackson 94.4
Sam Freeman 94.0
Jim Johnson 93.6
Ian Krol 93.5
Matt Wisler 93.3
Chaz Roe 93.3
Jason Motte 93.0
Viz and Ram both rank in the Top 20 in all of MLB.

The 6-7-8-9 stretch of Motte, Ramirez, Viz, and Johnson is going to win us a lot of games this year if our starters can be remotely solid.

Pretty good. You think they should hold Ramirez and viz or trade?

Is there another player in baseball who looks like they should be in another profession more than John Jaso?
At this point it seems like Snitker is trolling us.
If someone values Viz as a ~2 WAR reliever with 2+ years of control and are willing to pay accordingly...no question he needs to be traded.
If the league realizes he is an injury prone and inconsistent BP arm, there's no point in trading him.
I don't think anyone offers enough for Coppy to pull the trigger, especially considering the FO is playing the "we are contenders" game.

how Bell laid off the slider after several 98 at the knees..

Wouldn't hate if we held on to Ramirez for awhile and maybe consider extending him if we could do it cheap. His fastball/slider/changeup combo is great and he's improved greatly this year. Has the potential to be a closer in the future.
All depends on the package...also Ramirez is controlled thru 2021 and is cheap. Viz only has two more Arb years and will get a big pay hike in 2018 if he continues.

this pen is sick right now. even with that walk, Viz looks great right now. 98-99 with life at the knees.. sorry.. you are not hitting that.. not with that slider in the dirt looming..

Vizcaino yes if they can get something pretty good for him.
Ramirez yes if they can get something really good for him.

Liking this Rio kid more and more.
Too bad Snit already said Adonis will be back soon to displace Rio with his .626 OPS (.586 vs. the majority - right handers).
