AL East Thread

Giliota has reached that true ace level
Hendricks is rated as the best closer in baseball

Koepech may have found himself as a dangerous middle inning guy

The rest of the rotation and pen have some holes

Giolito would pull a Shane Bieber against that Yankee lineup in October, for sure. Keuchel is dicey, too. That team isn’t quite there yet. Forgot about Kopech. Not sure he can throw strikes. That was always his issue when the Red Sox had him. He certainly has the velocity, though.

Yeah Kuechel is a rotation filler that does nothing for me anymore

the Indians look like cellar dwellars to me

that lineup is brutal

some upside after Bieber but nothing that really screams dangerous team

Agreed. That lineup might be the worst in the AL. Jose Ramirez and pray for rain. Pitching is pretty solid, though. Looks like a rebuild with Lindor gone.

I thought Larussa was such a bad hire, now he has this loaded roster, be interesting

Terrible on Larussa. Shades of the Red Sox hiring Bobby Valentine. The guy that was there was doing just fine. They should have stuck with him. No idea what the urgency was to bring Larussa in.

 

[chappee11]

Yeah that was a tough call for sure
I went with the young excitement

my whole draft was outside the box. I wanted Devers so bad and panicked, he would have def been there for me the next round.

I get it. That top pick won’t kill you either way, but Mookie batting ahead of Seager, Bellinger, Turner & Muncy should score a zillion runs. That’s the best lineup there is.

Didn't get a DWI the day he was hired?

Old and drunk. What could go wrong?

Especially he is the so anti 2021 politically correct guy to lead a young roster

Don’t forget “out of touch”. That’s the trifecta.

Reminds me of the Gruden hire which has been and always was going to be a terrible hire

He's coming off a top 5 CYA, just saying

I don’t see why you needed to get rid of Renteria at all. He was on the right track and developing the talent there.

He IS???? Didn’t even realize that.

This is why we have you around

that and your Sean Connery current day looks

Sonofabitch. Keuchel had a 1.99ERA last year. Maybe that pitching is better than I thought.

Always showed up to old timers. Think he was the last living member of the 40s/50s dynasty.
