McCarthy...
5.58 era
5.04 FIP
6.69 k9, 3.35 bb9
Babip .362
-0.1 fWAR

K rate is in line with career. Bb rate is about 1 higher than career. Babip is way up... career is .299

Chuckie eventually gets to everyone.

If we truly want to contend, I do think we have to make a move for a legit TOR guy. I’ve loved seeing our guys take a step forward early, and Julio regain his form a bit, but we definitely need an ace. I do think we have the pitching depth to make a dominant bullpen.

the issue is price

Will Swanson be back today? Think he's eligible

No doubt. And there isn't a surplus of ace's out there right now. But we may have to overpay to get what we need. It sucks, but it's why we have copious amounts of pitching depth.

overpay=shorter window of contention

that be a hard pass for me

And he’s having arm issues.

I think it is fortnight issues. So we good.

 

[Enscheff]

Kemp 1.0 fWAR
McCarthy 0.1 fWAR

We should never trade with the dodgers... we get abused every time

So far the Dodgers are deploying him properly, as previously suggested in these forums.

Well we have a surplus of arms in the minors, and we're going to have to convert them into something at some point.

Are we deploying McCarthy wrong?

He's had two horrible starts back to back but he's a MOR starter that gives you a chance to win on most nights which he's done this year.

Issue with an ace is which ones are available?

And they are of course very costly.

If Mets keep sliding, i wonder if Thor or DeGrom were put on the block, they'd cost a fortune though. There's really not any true "aces" available.

He hasn’t gotten hurt yet either.

This is basically what he did last year.

Cole Hamels is probably the best of market. Seemingly every other proven 1 or 2 is on a contender.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Amazing what having a third baseman who can play defense can do for a team.

How much for Hamels+Beltre?

Wentz, Wisler and Camargo?

I’d pay that.
