<t>We are going nowhere this year. The lineup may be good enough, but the pitching - which will probably improve - cannot improve enough to get us in the running.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Archer is clearly not cutting it as a SP. It's not clear there is a fix for that. So let's do something that has b...

<t>Drew Waters (AA-OF) and William Contreras (AA-C) plus maybe a pitching prospect from their top 20 prospects? Kyle Muller (AA - big LHSP)? Kolby Allard (AAA - finesse LHSP)? Send him to the Trevor Williams Low Power Pitching Charter School. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> A lot of their top 20 at are AA/A...

Too soon to call the DSL2 team a juggernaut? It seems like they have 10+ hits and nearly that many runs every day. I have no idea who the bigger int'l signs were, so I don't have a sense if this is a bunch of pleasant surprises or kids playing as expected or a mix of both.

<t>I think Frazier is a good "buy low" candidate. At this point, I would not worry about Melky or Dickerson in relation to acquiring him. If you can get Frazier cheap (lower level prospect or any one of the guys who won't be resigned for next year), grab him. He's the kind of guy who could benefit f...

If you hadn’t told us the answer in another thread, no.

<t>He’s not the same pitcher as before his TJ. He used to throw a 95 mph 4-seamer deep into games which was complemented by his breaking stuff. Now his 4-seamer sits at 91 mph and his 2-seamer is around 87-88 mph. He cannot make mistakes in the middle of the plate. So, he nibbles on the edges much m...

Brault pitched well today, but they started playing need a starter and bullpen help in the worst way.

<t>One problem is that a lot of the OF depth is not signed beyond this year (Chisenhall, Cabrera, Dickerson). We'll have our own big hole to fill if Marte is traded. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> And do the Bucs trade for the future or for MLB(ready) guys? If they want help for the rest of this year, they...

It was like 3 years for 34 million dollars.<br/> Yeah. I agree. If he keeps it up all year, that's probably the cost for him going forward.<br/> <br/> ...
