I like “Pull an Elder”. I think that’s the plan for the last 2 spots in the rotation and in the pen. AA has gone with a quantity over quality approach hoping we have enough pitchers to “pull an Elder” to get us through the season. That might work if we know when to move on to the next guy

I’m now waiting for the battle for the last 2-3 bullpen spots thread.

I hope Nicholas Montgomery is a fun one to follow this year.

I agree that the same way our offense will average out our pitching will average out. I think we need another SP. That will make the 5 spot a battle between Anderson/Holmes with the loser being the swing man in the last bullpen spot (assuming a healthy Perdomo and Pilar take 2 spots) However...

Can anyone provide a synopsis on the Baseball America article on JR Ritche?

I saw where Castillo has had the most pronounced weather splits in all of MLB over his career. He’s pitched much better in the heat and struggled in the cold. My first thought was he should be in ATL until I realized the most important games tend to happen late in the fall.

King makes a lot more sense than Cease

No we haven’t made a trade like this yet, which is why I’m questioning it.

It’s the 1 year rental and unlikelihood of an extension that has me questioning the Cease trade. I assume we’d make a QO though and get a pick though lessening the prospect loss.

Connor Gillespie the DFA

So we still have enough for Will Castro.

I was thinking 3/45. This ain’t bad even though more than we thought

I guess Luke Williams is the DFA

I think Profar is going to cost more than we think, but it’s still the best move to make. We’ve gone quantity over quality with the other needs hoping the law of averages play in our favor but that wasn’t an option with the OF.

I’m still thinking we’re resetting and have $20M to spend on one move.

The Bregman article on MLBTR does a pretty good job breaking down how that decision alone is holding up other theoretical decisions. There’s a lot still to happen. I’m hoping one of these signings or trades will create our opportunity. It’s getting so hard to keep faith though!

We’ve stockpiled relievers, #5SP, and MIF in AAA. We have no OF depth. I’m thinking if we’re only making 1 move it’s gong to be OF. Profar seems to make the most sense.

It’s hard to think of positively now since we haven’t done anything for the big club, but we’ve done a very good job of providing depth and off roster talent remaking the AAA squad.

I don’t think you can until the 15th

I’m not defending the complaining about this one. What the hell are we doing?
