Not for the full year but at this stage of the year his numbers seem to be similar. I might be off by quite a bit.

Here have a look, being a fan in the internet age is wild compared to when I started paying attention to baseball

His OPS+ this year is 112 by the way with great D. They aren't trading him nor should they

Doval is 18 for 22 in save opportunities, that isn't too bad is it? Pretty sure they won a couple of those blown ones too

He blows 20% of his opportunities. That ain’t good.

Only 17% lol

19 for 23 now

If he got one more save he'd be at 87%. Obviously not a great year but nothing I've seen makes me want to move off him.

 

[calsnowskier]

That trade value going up and up.

It is, but I am OK with him sticking around as well.

 

[calsnowskier]

I want him traded because we can get real talent back for him and get his salary off the books. In addition, it opens up 3b.

Opening 3rd is fine…

Assuming you have a 3B who is getting blocked. The only 3B in the system who are even arguably “MLB ready” are Schmitt and VR. And don’t want to kick a 6 WAR player in favor of those guys.

That said, if we get a PACKAGE for him, I am fine with him getting dealt.

 

[calsnowskier]

Looking at all closers with at least 18 saves:

Average save pct: 89%
Number of closers in sample: 17
Doval: 83%
Rank (of 17): 15

He's been mediocre.

That’s generous.

 

[calsnowskier]

For sure he has been, I don't want to give up on that guy's stuff though.

I would gladly give up on his head, though.

Heads are easier to fix than stuff but yeah, he needs to grow up

 

[calsnowskier]

I don't give a crap about their MONEY, but I care about the budget. Clear his salary.

Doesn't matter, they won't trade him. They won't trade Snell. They can't trade Soler.

Offseason is phuked.

So they can sign another FA? FAs rarely pan out. Build from within, and while doing that, put a fun product on the field. Chappy is fun baseball.

I think Schmitt would be a better fit than Villar as Schmitt supposedly has the glove and the bat. Of course, both need to translate at the big league level.

And, I think that is the point of wanting to trade Chapman, to get a package back.

Have to be a crazy good haul for me to be pleased with trading him. Could happen I guess.

The Angels-Phillies trade saw the Phillies ship their #5 & #7 prospects to the Angels for a less than a half season of a closer who melted down badly in the 2nd half last year. Its a seller's market.

 

[calsnowskier]

Funny, that's just about the most dominant start I think I've ever seen. And I was at Cain's perfect game.

I still say Timmeh’s ‘10 NLDS Game 1 was the greatest game I have ever seen pitched.

And while this game was not a complete game, it can be argued Snell was mire dialed in that Timmeh was that day. Though, of course, Timmeh’s was a more critical game than this was.

 

[calsnowskier]

Didn’t Snell have a perfect game last start or the start before that for 5-6 innings?

That was the game where we finally had enough of Monty’s BS and kicked him.

Let's see it then, what would be a great haul for him in your opinion that's realistic? Like I said, I want to keep him so has to be a lot for me to be happy with a trade.

 

[calsnowskier]

Maybe. 15 strikeouts is the real deal, never been done in 6 innings.

Really makes you respect Clemens and Wood…

Just spitballing here but maybe the Giants could score two top 10 prospects from another org and maybe just outside the top 20 if they agreed to pay the rest of this year's salary? Of course, I haven't researched how deep the Phillies' farm is so I don't know what their #5 & #7 would stack against other buyers.

There have always been questions about Schmitt’s bat, going back to college. His glove has always been his calling card.

Does Philly need a 3B badly?

They have Alec Bohm, who has been having a good year. I did see a rumor that the Yankees were interested in Chapman.
