He is OPSing .759 vs righties. I haven’t seen enough to say I’m out on him.

Jeez that field looks like it’s in rough shape

He went for a 26 year old catcher in AA. Elias got all he could for Cashner.

This is the plan working though right? DD took him with the plan to carry then stash him. Him struggling at ML level early on shouldn’t have diminished his prospect status, which had always been projection based.

Controllable relievers on the market... 1. Kirby Yates 2. Givens??

Just FYI Fansided is known for pumping out these type of poor articles, written in a way to pop up in google searches. I’d steer clear of them.

Strikes me as a DD move, not an Elias one. And somehow I mean that as a compliment to both guys.

Right, and more importantly I can’t see any GM in history saying that.

But he is, right now at .948, so.... but yea, that will probably come down a good bit

Where did Elias say that?

Last year he had “poor bat speed” 🙄, now he can’t throw... If he OPSes .950 all year I don’t care if he never throws another runner out and neither should you.

You endured 14 straight losing season and then didn’t even realize you should be enjoying The good times? Oof

Making the playoffs thrice was worth it.

He made 17 starts this year with a FIP slightly above his career number. No GM changed his valuation on him because of this. He’s got a 10 year track record...one ok streak isn’t moving the needle.

Right and he was not good in ‘18.
