join me in rooting for your team to lose. it makes you win all the time. as if they lose you are happy, if they are win then ok they won lol.
to be fair I wouldn't be surprised if the white sox ended up higher in the standings than the tigers by the end of the season. I imagine jimenez and kopech come up sometime and the team goes on a decent run with them around.
it's possible jimenez might be up tomorrow since they already removed an outfielder from the roster and haven't announced a new one yet.
No matter what happens the Tigers will do better than that awful season last year. Aren't the White Sox supposed to be tanking right now?
i mean the tigers are also supposed to be tanking.
but uh... the white were supposed to be tanking last year and had a .500+ sept lol.
I don't think that is going to change much this year. They are going to call up some of the young kids and are going to end up winning to many games to be a true tank.
if andrew miller comes back, their bullpen is shaping up very nicely for the postseason, where top end guys at the back end are more important than depth.
they're a tank in every sense. no need to be ashamed, it's a good strategy.
Willie Calhoun tweeted out that he was heading to Dallas, then deleted the tweet minutes later. Tells me that the corresponding roster move hasn't been informed yet.
please let it be Gallo being sent down

Fulmer to the DL meaning the odds of him getting traded are next to 0

that being said who knows if someone pulls the same stunt the whitesox did when they got Peevy lol

Matt Carpenter went off today. 3 homers and 2 doubles. He's becoming a legitimate MVP candidate. Hope he and the Cardinals saved something for the two games tomorrow.
I imagine Chris Sale would be a good comparison to look at for the price.
he had a similar amount of time left on the contract, though was younger and had set values well below market.
while Degrom has a stupid good season going right now at a trade deadline weak of pitchers.
Sale commanded
Luis Alexander Basabe (minors), Victor Diaz (minors), Michael Kopech (minors) and Yoan Moncada.
at the time Moncada was an overall number 3
Kopech was an overall top 90
and while Basabe wasn't a top 100 he had a decent amount of hype around him.
anderson is a top 40
Kyle Wright is a top 30
so you would likely need to include Luiz Gohara, Kolby Allard, Austin Riley or Cristian Pache as well
and likely someone else from the top 30 perhaps Brett Cumberland as everyone could always use more catching depth.
the package here obviously would be a bit more than Sale commanded, but at the same time Sale wasn't traded when he was pitching at a 1.68 ERA through 19 games (worth 6 WAR by BF) in a market desperate for a good pitcher.
Moncada was the No. 1 prospect and Kopech was the No. 30 prospect according to MLB's 2016 top 100 list FYI
I was just pulling quickly from the ratings listed on the baseball reference site. I didn't pull up the mid season rankings for the players listed either >.>
doesn't change anything for what I said though. I think you need at least a 3rd top 100 prospect added to the two listed and another org top 30 at the min.
and that Sale would be a good basis for what to expect to have to give up.
yeah i agree, just wanted to say that kopech was higher than top 90s
fair enough lol.
like I said I just quickly pulled from the 2016 info from
:P
sale was/is better than degrom and didn't have the injury history that degrom has. I think the Mets will be disappointed of they think they're getting a comparable return
Well Machado is been on base twice already. Raising his value for them Yanks
At this point I don't know what they're going to do. They have no pitchers in the minors that's major league ready. Sheffield is getting close but I rather them not rush him up. Maybe they should consider doing what the Rays do and have a bullpen day every 5 days. German clearly needs more seasoning in the minors. Gray I think you kinda just have to let him try to work things out.
At this Nats Braves game. Fuckin' a. I knew Stras was gonna be rusty but that was not a good performance. Just high fastballs every fucking pitch despite them hitting it over and over. Eurgh.
1-10 vs. 4-10 w/ RISP is literally the difference in the game
