BTV accepts this deal: who is more likely to say no? Whitlock, EValdez, Mata, Dalton Rogers for Shane Bieber (1 yr left) and Andres Gimenez (2B)...

SP's reports... Victor Santos was solid yet again in his third start of the winter... The 23-year-old righty picked up the winning decision while...

Nothing to get hung about.

I said I was mistaken, but I did not actually say "up to 140." I said "can easily get 100-140," but as I said, I was mistaken. I also said "near...

I didn't misquote you. I quoted you as saying "easily up to 140". You said 450 total with 180 from Monty, which would leave 270 from Whit and...

When I was very young, Michael Jordan came to the Wizards and as a young basketball fan I thought that was really cool and thought that meant the...

Bring back Bob Stanley!

That does seem difficult to do. I think Pivetta would have, if he was in the pen, all year, but getting two on the same team to do it, would be...

IP are valuable. From ages 35-37, out of 150 SP'ers with 200+ IP, he ranks... 107th in ERA- at 105 104th in fWAR at 3.2 (1.1 per season) 72...

I'd be worried about dehydration with that much puke. I hope they have a pallet of pedialyte on hand for him.

With Whitlock's health issues, they should push him to 60 innings. If Crawford is the 6th man who gets starts here and there, he'll end up with over...

A phrase like this -- depending on the mood of certain posters -- could get challenged with comments like, "So you think Whitlock will vomit, if Cora...

That amount is even crazier than what I imagined then. Are you having them solely pitch out of the pen or in a combined role? If just in the pen,...

In '22 and '23, those IP's include games started. If he's solely pitching out of the pen, he won't get to 70 innings IMO. Neither would Crawford....

Good point. Had Pivetta not gone back to the rotation, he might have ended up with 110-120 IP as a RP'er over the final 5 months. I could see...

He's an above average pitcher who has struggled to stay healthy. He was worth 12M last year according to FanGraphs. Pitching in DET could work out...

Whitlock hasn’t been the same pitcher since 2021 when he was strictly in the BP. He’s gotten hurt in the rotation, and hasn’t been the same pitcher...

Okay, but why misquote me? I said "easily 100-140" for Whit and Craw, not "easily 140." I was thinking 100 for Whit and 140 for Crawford, but I...

38 year old, Kenta Maeda signed with DET for $14M in '24 and $10M in '25. $24M/2 for a guy who has only pitched over 154 IP once (his rookie year in...

And Whitlock has only thrown 70-80 innings each of the last 3 seasons. But moon has him "easily" throwing up to 140 innings in 2024.

Could be some shake-ups in the College Championship set-up. My guess is the rankings will be like this before the conference championship games:...

Only 20 relievers got 70 innings or more last season. Unless the Sox are going with openers again, I'm not sure how likely that is this year for them.

The Giants rotation was basically Logan Webb and a mishmash of veteran starters: Cobb, DeSclafani, Wood, Manea, Junis and Stripling. I think they...

"COULD" stick as a starting pitcher. How is that any different than what they tried with Houck or Whitlock. We though either of them COULD have stuck...

Agreed. MLBTR had this, however... Evaluators who have seen Rodriguez suggest he could stick as a starting pitcher, with one indicating he could...

The only thing I know about Bailey as a pitching coach is what the media tells us the past month: that he greatly improved the San Fran staff in his...

Crawford is never starting in AAA. I think I said Schreiber or Bernardino might have to, if everyone was healthy and Mata made the 26. Whitlock...

He's a reliever. Not sure it's a great fit when they've already tried that with Whitlock and Houck as tweeners.

The k rate is good, but the hard hit rate and the bb rate is bad. I think '22 was an indicator of good luck rather than '23 being an indicator of bad...
