re: FSBDL Championship: 8th Seed RDR wins Ship

Yes Blair
I don't mind sharing rondo
Blair came to Atlanta in the Shelby Miller deal, a trade that made no sense on its face but even less when you consider that Blair is already a major league-ready starter, and a big strike-thrower who posted a 3.16 ERA in half a year in hitter-friendly Reno. Blair should spend much, if not all, of 2016 in Atlanta's rotation; he already has shown he can dominate Triple-A hitters, generating ground balls thanks to the heavy sink on his low-90s fastball and missing bats with a plus changeup. He's still developing a curveball that will at least show average a few times per outing.
Blair missed bats in the low minors, but better hitters managed to put the ball in play against him in 2015 -- but usually on the ground (52 percent of the time, per MLBfarm.com research). That and his ability to limit walks is already a good formula for a fourth or even a No. 3 starter, and if Blair can continue to improve his curveball, which is already up at least a full grade since he signed, he has a chance to become an above-average starter capable of handling 210-220 innings a year.
Contreras at 27
Newcomb At 30
Alford at 52
Zimmer at 94 (was 25 last year)
Don't have problem trading them all

You're attempting to rebuild, no?

I like my farm a lot but looking to compete this year too. I think I'm middle of the pack right now so we'll see.

Because you instantly decline all mine.

You're an attempted trade rapist in all sports, I can't get on board with that

Yordano plus two top prospects was a pretty fair deal for a 40 year old pitcher.
Posted on 3/2/16 at 4:46 pm to dj30
And I send pretty legit deals...

Crushed: Aaron Altherr just hit one up to Main Street jn Dunedin, where Delco's is located. Great cheesesteaks and hoagies
quote:
When Altherr did make contact, though, he did damage. Against both fastballs and breaking pitches, according to PITCHf/x, his exit velocity - that is, the speed at which the baseball left his bat - was well above average, exceeding 92 mph. Twenty of his 33 hits went for extra bases, including five home runs, and his on-base-plus-slugging percentage last season was .827, the third-highest on the club. He had a double, a home run, and three RBIs in his first start, Aug. 19 against the Blue Jays, and he delivered arguably the most memorable moment of the Phillies' season: an inside-the-park grand slam against the Nationals on Sept. 25.

#Nats' RHP Tanner Roark struck out three, worked around a leadoff single in a scoreless second inning vs the #Rays. 0-0 in Port Charlotte.
Posted on 3/2/16 at 5:38 pm to GynoSandberg
you missed this part in the Altherr article
quote:
Over his 166 plate appearances with the Phillies - five of which came at the end of the 2014 season - Altherr has hit just .232 with 43 strikeouts, meaning he has struck out more than 25 percent of the time he has stepped into the batter's box. Brooks Baseball's PITCHf/x tool, an algorithm that tracks how hitters fare against certain types of pitches, revealed that Altherr was particularly susceptible to off-speed stuff. He was "exceptionally aggressive" against such pitches but had a "disastrously high likelihood" to miss them when he swung at them, posting a "whiff rate" of 55 percent.
