LF is 100 times more concerning than short. between lando and vaughn, I think at worst you’re just gonna get league average play. left is a potential black hole
Here we goooooo. I'm ready to fuck shit up this year. Will do all I can to propel this team to a championship (except chopping) Somebody give me Ronnie's odds for MVP.
That injury number isn’t really bad either. Luis severino is at 95% for instance. I would need to look at the whole list but I’m guessing that stuff+ gap is pretty considerable. And only with “2 pitches”. Hnnnnnggghhh
All he needs (imo) is something like a 92-94 cutter + straight change and he’s set. Only need to throw them maybe 10% of the time just to give them something to think about.
He also went on to say that his preference is still to get a deal done and stay in Pittsburgh at a fair number for both sides, but I’m not sure how much stock to put into that. He did say the reports of the negotiations being ~$50m apart were pretty accurate.
Even if we threw something together like: Ian Anderson Bryce Elder Braden Shewmake Jesse Franklin Greyson Jenista Mahki Backstrom Two starting caliber controllable pitchers with low ceilings but fairly high floors that have already had some MLB success Two decent position player prospects in Shewmake in Franklin with some upside that are likely to make it to majors within first year A once high draft pick reclamation project in Jenista as a throw in A toolsy and super young/raw power hitting prospect they can tout as the high upside piece I don’t know if it’s enough to make them say yes, they’re probably going to want a few high quality pieces moreso than a ton of depth
Now that he’s got his core of position players locked up I just don’t see AA moving any of Shuster, Murphy, Ritchie, Phillips, Smith-Shawver or Schwellenbach.
Hopefully our seamstresses and seamsters got a healthy raise this year to help with President Brandon’s inflation and the ass inflation of Big Dog and Murph Dog.
I am both team "deGrom may be made of glass at this point" and "Charlie Morton isn't worth $20m" fwiw.
Could be pulling a Bear Grylles type stunt where he’s actually in a Marriott but cut the cable to the WiFi and replaced the furniture with stuff he found in a Goodwill bin
TBF, DOB has what was my mid-20s dream job, so even as silly as he is, I get pangs of jealousy now and then.
From his wiki he is a Harrison High grad. "He was an Atlanta Braves fan and wrote a letter to Skip Caray asking how to get into sports broadcasting. Caray responded and encouraged him to practice, critique, and practice some more. Gaudin kept those words in his heart, and in high school convinced a local radio station to allow him to broadcast some of his school's baseball games.[5]"
ughh i just am in too good of shape that i can still fit in some stuff from my childhood how embarassing
