2019 Trade Deadline Thread:

While I'm not willing to declare Gausman "back" after 7 IP in AAA, this is what I hope happens. Soroka, DK, Gausman and a well rested Fried or "fixed" Folty is going to be pretty good. Nothing available on the trade market other than Thor will be a big enough upgrade over any of those guys to warrant the cost.

AA...go get Will Smith.

I think Wheeler and Boyd both should be considerably better than Gaus over the remainder of the year but, a fixed Folty is likely no different than them. Obviously cost is a factor. I really like Wheeler's ability and I'm a believer in his 2018 performance (along with the fact that NY is a terribly run franchise). Plus the cost of Wheeler shouldn't be substantial I would think.
 
If Mike Minor is available Morosi says, then we need to be all over that. Keuchel-Soroka-Minor-Folty/Gaus-Fried is a great rotation.

Minor is going to crash and crash hard at some point. FIP of 3.82 and xFIP of 4.42. He may already started that crash considering his last 2 outings. I don't want to be a part of that crash. I don't think he's any better than what we currently have, plus he's a serious injury concern.

Gallo and Minor, let's do it AA. ;)
 
Ok, so you clearly can't show where I manufactured a crisis and are continuing to derail a thread with pointless comments. I'll let the mods deal with you.

i'd argue you've derailed this thread; i've just responded to your temper tantrum.
 
Anderson:

2018 1st half: 4.54 BB/9
2018 2nd half: 2.63 BB/9

April 2019: 5.87 BB/9
May 2019: 4.78 BB/9
June 2019: 3.28 BB/9
July 2019: 1.29 BB/9

2019 is as a 21 year old in AA.
yeah, his BB concerns are not actually concerning...same as they've never been.
it's especially great tho to see a supposed numbers guy claim 3 BB/9 is concerning, and leave out the fact that going to one more start puts it comfortably below 3. then again, some supposed numbers people think 2.72 BB/9 is bad as well. so consider the source.

It may not concern you, but that’s your opinion.

Again, I merely referenced his walk rate to support my opinion that he’s not an touchable asset.

Not sure what’s so hard for you to understand.

I think a conversation to establish where you have common ground might be helpful.

I agree with you that the BB rate is a relatively low concern.

I tend to agree with the concept that if the Braves can recover Anderson's max FV in present day assets it's worth exploring.

Moving him as part of a Castillo/Syndegard/Boyd trade might past muster for me. No number of rentals, no matter how good, would work for me.

You might have common ground yet.
