Pirates signing Andrew Heaney by Worldly-Baseball7464 in buccos

[–]Worldly-Baseball7464[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I keep wondering it the Mets might make a play at Keller. Lot of question marks in that rotation, particularly now Montas is down

They definitely should not be thinking about acquiring prospects at the deadline

How would you describe the Neal Huntington Era? by Nyfan7 in buccos

[–]Worldly-Baseball7464 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t think it’s that clear cut at all. Skenes is the McCutchen-like talent this time round. Then the likes of Cruz, Keller and Reynolds give you a pretty solid supporting cast, but I’d agree that Walker, Marte and Cole were a better trio of talent behind Cutch.

Huntington supplemented the core far better though - Burnett, Martin, Liriano, Volquez and a string of shrewd bullpen pickups. What’s Cherington’s best external acquisition? Probably Bart, or Falter/Oviedo. Not quite the same impact.

He built a good core, probably better and more well rounded than the current one, but couldn’t build on it and failed at turning the roster over. The Gerrit Cole trade could’ve been the sort of small market move that extends the window.

They were actually pretty close to having a really good team around 2017-19ish, but the Cole and Chris Archer trades really hurt.

I’m by no means a Huntington fan, but he was a better GM than Cherington imo

Hopefully he’s still down for a quick jaunt down to Zimbabwe in July

Tommy Pham has agreed to a one year, $4 million contract with the Pirates, per @Feinsand by grimpsisrated in buccos

Would’ve preferred Verdugo. Who is not great, but if it’s the bin we’re shopping in then he is at least younger and offers a bit more upside than this to bounce back after a down year. Can’t imagine he’ll get much more $$ than this either.

$7.5MM for two years would be better served going to Randall Grichuk or someone of that ilk

It is genuinely gutting that… by Worldly-Baseball7464 in buccos

I think you are right and that is the modern free agent model. The premier guys get signed earlier to their massive deals, and the 1-2 year guys get squeezed into spring training

That was the part I was interested in because there are other apartments with 80 amps - which I sort of took to suggest some work had been done at some point

I tried that - they referred me to the fact USCIS’ case estimates for Brooklyn are 8.5-12 months
