I'd like to add some things as it pertains to Anderson’s curveball. Let me start by saying I am a college pitching coach and have been using this type of data on my guys as well.
Encheff is absolutely correct in what he’s saying. If indeed his spin rate is ~1700 RPM then that is equivalent to...
That was my thinking too, Seager would just be a means of acquiring Haniger without giving up our big 3. I actually think a Wilson/Camargo/Inciarte for Seager/Haniger makes sense for both teams. Could also expand the deal to include Mallex if you didn't feel comfortable with Acuna and Haniger...
Posted this on another thread...
'm all aboard giving JD a 4th year if that's what it takes but IF we do lose out on him I keep coming back to one team and trade that could/would solve our issues...
Trading for Seager and Haniger would give us what we need and I don't think would cost as much...

Trading for Seager and Haniger would give us what we need and I don't think would cost as much as Bryant or Arenado.
What if Ender (plus) could net you Marte? Wouldn't a Inciarte and Bryse Wilson for Marte make sense for both clubs? Is that too steep or not enough?!
Could go something like this (assuming/hoping we resign JD)
Acuna- RF
Marte- CF
Freeman- 1B
Donaldson-3B
Albies- 2B
Markakis/Duvall- LF...
Something that I haven't seen discussed that could have implications for us (and everyone else but especially us and the way we could choose to use our roster) is the fact that MLB is considering dropping the 10-day DL and going back to the 15-day.
This could put a damper on the AAA shuttle...
According to my source, this news is in direct correlation with the Stewart fiasco. Now this is not necessarily a precursor to us definitely losing the #9 pick but more or less the front office showing their disappointment that these two put the organization in the position of possibly losing...
You know, this may not be a bad idea at all. Now, let me start by saying this is all predicated on the FO believing Fowler's 2018 season was the anomaly and not the new normal. Which in my opinion, it was the outlier. So...
Fowler is owed roughly $49,500,000 over the next three seasons or...
Exactly! If JT is acquired (not holding.my breath) and I personally don't want to see us give up what it will cost. I would do everything to lure Brantley over at 2yrs $32m with a mutual option for $15m. If he won't take that, then go get Cargo on a 1yr $8-10m.
1. Acuna
2. Donaldson
3. Freeman...
