unless Beas goes on a run and gets more out of the guys than expected

You mean like Bogar?

 

[scotsman1948]

That is no reason at all.

maybe not you unless you're one pf the owners and know for a fact

 

[scotsman1948]

I’m waiting too see what they do with Calhoun when he comes back. He should be DFA’d.

him along with Miller and Culberson but that's not Beasley's job. that falls on CY and the owners and as long as they are in the 26-man he will use them

Do ya'll know if there is a fee to sign in with apple?

No fee.

Terrible start for Pérez, but he's been the type of guy to bounce back and finish strong this year. Bet he goes six innings and only allows three runs.

He’s leaving the ball over too much of the plate. He has to hit the edges or it’s batting practice.

Perez is having a really good season but looking at his career, this year is the anomaly. I am not necessarily ready to anoint him and give him max years and high AAV because of 1 year. I would want to re-sign him but at reasonable terms. Seems to be an issue with that one good year during a contract year.

Semien has had more than one but look at what last year netted him and what he's followed it up with.

I am just not sure you go all in. If he regresses to career numbers the next couple years after being given a BIG contract in AAV, we gonna roast him and CY and the FO and owners for 3-4 years on this board

When the change happened with Woody nothing drastic was going to change. Just kind of playing it out which includes letting the young guys gain some experience including guys like Cole Ragans and hopefully Jung. We can't get too freaked out and react like some do on this board when these young guys struggle. Their human and this is all new and we hope that they are gaining invaluable experience. The off season though could be very interesting and of great importance so we will just have to see how that all turns out.

 

[Kelleyman]

That is no reason at all.

Don’t take me so seriously.

He might be a good utility player who sits a lot and pinch hits next year. Who knows

I would rather watch the young guys struggling every night than watch the Miller's, Culberson's and Calhoun's be as bad or worse every night and still in the lineup

 

[saddles]

He threw 71 pitches. 57 were strikes and 14 balls. I haven't seem a ratio like that in awhile.

Yep. It's not like he is making big bucks or anything. Even with Odor and Elvis, they eventually told them they would not be playing much and all of these veterans make a lot less.

There are some who think the owners care about such nonsense though. Lol

 

[Bmurph]

Its really not even just the young guys that haven't put it together yet, the vets in this lineup aren't good this year either.

Pérez has been fantastic this year but like you mentioned, you gotta watch out for a one year wonder. My question has been whether this season has been a fluke or whether Pérez has made some adjustments that will help this type of production last. I lean towards it being sustainable because his command is much better, he's much more tough mentally.
That said, I wouldn't want to sign him for much more than 4/70, to be honest.

There really isn't more than a few guys I would want to sign on the FA market, as far as SP goes, so I guess you see what it takes and roll the dice and hope he can repeat this season for a couple more years at least

 

[saddles]

In Tekoa Roby's last 6 starts he has an ERA of 2.33. That includes a start in which he only lasted 1 inning, but doesn't include a relief appearance. His numbers in those 6 starts:

27 innings
20 Hits
9 Walks
31 Strikeouts

[DT LUNA]

One hit in five trips does not bode well. Watching game cast. Is Bundy that good ?

 

[Bmurph]

Good for Jung but unfortunately there is a Calhoun sighting there and we all know what that means
