    Around the League: 2017 offseason edition / 2018 Season

    I'd like to see Gausman with an organization besides the Orioles. The talent is there, but he tends to have too many meltdowns. Liriano and Lynn are bad pitchers right now. Ross has turned back into a pumpkin. Odorizzi could be worth a shot. They'd be cheaper because they aren't very good.

    2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

    Beeks is a late bloomer. He did some things this season to alter his mechanics and I think he added a new pitch. He's a had a good season in the minors this year. Struggled his two MLB appearances.

    2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

    I think the reason NYY did it is because they don't see a difference maker on the market now that will get them over the division vs Boston. In the back of their minds, they have to begin preparing for winning 105 games and having a 1 game playoff vs Seattle, Oakland, or heaven forbid Houston...

    2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

    Those two things don't really add up. He's correct about them individually, but in 1), the prices will drop for players who are pending free agents. Teams want to deal those guys and the closer the deadline comes, the more their urgency to deal them rises. I don't believe a player with...

    2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

    That comment wasn't meant for you, just in general. I really have no idea how you feel. It's apparent that there's decent percentage on this board who are scared of losing a trade. Meaning, they are going to want to make a trade unless the pendulum swings tremendously in the Braves favor...

    2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

    Honestly, I could take or leave Britton. He would have been a nice addition, but as someone said above, he hasn't proven himself to be healthy and consistent. Tate is a solid arm, but has bullpen written all over him. He's not the same prospect as Allard. Herrera and Familia would have been...

    2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

    I think it was a good deal for Baltimore, but NYY didn’t get bent over. I wonder if we are waiting for everyone else to make their move, then we swoop in and get the less expensive scraps

    2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

    Not in any list I’ve seen. Prospects can be polarizing. You’re either over valuing Tate or under rating allard there. Which is fine, to each their own

    2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

    Tate is like the 20th best prospect in our system and Rogers is a jag. Just remember how much we like prospects when Sam freeman serves up a homer pitching his 8th game is 10 days

    2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

    Alot of this is things we already know, but to elaborate a little more of what was said... Sounded like Albies may sit out the Miami series. Hosts Bowden and Mish straight up asked him about Donaldson and he said that the goal was to find players that they can control for more than just this...

    AA was on Sirius. Indicated that they were mainly interested in players that they can control.
