Depends on what kind of prospect they think Walker is. They are trading Adam Lind.

Brewers would want way more than that. Walker isn't on anybody's radar as a big prospect. I wouldn't mind taking Lind off their hands.

I have two:

1) Mike Wright or Zach Davies to CIN for Mike Leake

2) Christian Walker, David Lough and Matusz to MIL for Will Smith and Gerardo Parra

I seriously doubt that the Brewers would take that for Smith and Parra ....just my opinion.

Why Mike Leake? He would be Bud Norris 2.0.

And that's not even close to what it would take to get Smith and Parra.

Mike Leake doesn't give me warm and fuzzies either, but I think its the kind of trade Dan would make. Kind of a Feldman trade. It would not be about getting a top level starter but rather about getting someone that is better than what Tillman or Gausman are doing.

Why would Cincy do that deal? Where do they play Parades?

Adam Lind, Pedro Alvarez, Matt Kemp, Marlon Byrd and Michael Cuddyer are all everyday starters in the NL despite being Paredes-esque fielders. If a team thinks a guy will mash, they are willing to put up with poor defense. For a team with a low payroll like Cincy, having guys like David Lough instead of Marlon Byrd in the OF is pretty valuable. Much cheaper with roughly the same production.

That proposal would be met by a laugh and a click.

Honestly not all that enthralled with Bruce but the OF market being what it is the Reds can do much better.

Why would we do that deal? Jay Bruce is terrible now.

He is a mirror image of CD with a few less home runs. Similar BA/OPS/OPS+ and WAR.

At this moment if I could clone CD and have him play RF and 1B I would and that says something about the other options.

      ALDS First Pitch - game start time

      By turtlebowl · Posted

      I would be shocked if we don't have the 1:05 game on Saturday. As far as Sunday goes, Fox 1 already has the times listed but not the matchups.  Looks like either 4:05 or 8:05 game time.  I would expect it to be 4:05 because the Rangers if they win wouldn't go against the Cowboys game that night.  If Tampa wins, I don't see the O's - Tampa matchup being the primetime game.

      The term used in the MLB policy is "just cause". It does say burden of proof is on MLB, except it goes back to the player in the event they already have a criminal conviction: https://content.mlb.com/documents/2/9/2/296982292/Major_League_Player_Joint_DV_SA_CA_Policy_English_2018.pdf Burden of Proof. In any case involving discipline imposed under this Policy, the Commissioner’s Office shall have the burden of proving that the Player committed a Covered Act: a. A criminal conviction for an offense involving a Covered Act or a plea of guilty, no contest or nolo contendere, to an offense involving a Covered Act, whether a misdemeanor or felony, shall satisfy the Commissioner’s Office’s burden of proving a violation. In cases involving a criminal conviction or a plea of guilty, no contest or nolo contendere, the burden shall be on the Player to establish that notwithstanding the conviction or plea, the Player did not engage in a Covered Act. b. A Player may be subjected to disciplinary action for just cause by the Commissioner for a violation of this Policy in the absence of a conviction or a plea of guilty to a crime involving a Covered Act. Apparently just comes out of labor and employment law. Basically, it appears analogous to the process when an employer fires a union employee and is handled through a similar arbitration process. I'm not clear from the wikipedia page how it compares to "beyond a reasonable doubt" but I assume it is somewhat lesser than that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_cause_(employment_law)

      Will DL Hall replace Bautista in 2024?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Yea, I don’t feel he has a high floor. His floor is DFA by June. That’s very possible although I would agree I don’t think it’s likely. To be clear, I’m more than happy to have him on the team in 2024. He has been excellent this year. I’m just saying a fall off shouldn’t be seen as improbable and his standing on the team shouldn’t effect how they view Hall’s role.

      One more thing.  In the video Bauer says he never committed any act of violence towards this woman or anyone else.  If that is true, he should have been flummoxed when he was accused by her of bruising her.  Instead, he says he "feels bad that it happened."  There seems to be more to all of this than what we are seeing.

      Orioles could have 3 picks before the 2nd round

      By cnmilton · Posted

      Depending on how many teams exceeded the salary ceiling, the Orioles could be picking a couple picks higher than expected.

      Having the game at 4:00 on Saturday is going to be a disaster down there.

      You may have been over this before.  But I don't remember 100% of what someone else posts.  Anyway, thanks for humoring me. I don't think we're far off actually.  Especially regarding Hall not being blocked by Coulombe.  I do agree that the sample size is small enough to add a lot of variation.  I suppose the difference is that I believe there's more stability than you do (i.e. a higher floor).  You hint at the reason why with "It's the Wall" wrt his HR rate.  The CB is the key to the chase% and swingstr%.
