Lefty Chris Lee, RHPS Andrew Triggs, and Parker Bridwell were added to the 40 man roster today


wildcard

Recommended Posts

This is the last day to add players to the 40 man roster to protect them from the Rule 5 draft. Chris Lee will certainly be added. I think Andrew Triggs will also be added but some are not with me on that thought.

The roster is at 37 with quite a few players that can be removed at some point this off season.

Well its been a while fellas since I have stopped in, I was pretty upset about how this year turned out.

Anyways onto topic- Chris Lee doesnt have a WHIP that impresses me and his SO rate seems pretty low. But I will trust you guys know a but more about him than me. What are his comps like?

The good news is he's a pretty good ground ball pitcher so that helps when the K rate is a little low. He's probably a reliever when it's all said and done, but if he can develop his secondaries he could be more.

I could see Triggs and Bridwell being added but won't be shocked if neither are. Lee was a no brainer the way he pitched down the stretch with the Baysox.

MASN quote masnsports.com

Chris Lee said work with Alan Mills/Rick Peterson helped him repeat his delivery more and increased his velocity.

Slightly sad that two of the three players we add are players that original teams dumped to knowing they wouldn't have space to protect them.

Both had outstanding bounce back years under our development. Had they stayed the same, they would never have been added.

    • Or the Williams sisters, but I doubt he'd mention girls.  
    • Possible? Sure. Yet, I'd be surprised by any trades in the divisions, unless it was considered a minor one.  I doubt Elias would want to see any of his prospects helping an AL East rival when he can get similar players elsewhere.
    • Tiger Woods, of course, standing as an excellent example of a guy who was precociously skilled at a sport at a very young age (because his dad made him play) but never quite got there as a pro. There’s some merit to what you’re referencing here. I would absolutely buy that his lifelong exposure to baseball is a significant factor in his success at a young age. But I think that type of thing is far more applicable when evaluating youth or high school, maybe college level players. At lower levels and younger ages, I suspect extreme advantages in experience, practice time, and hands-on coaching can absolutely give a less talented kid a leg up. However, I think there’s a ceiling for how far a ho-hum kid can go on the back of force-fed baseball obsession — and I’m pretty sure that ceiling is a lot lower than “excellent hitter at AAA at age 20.“ I think you have to have the goods to reach that level, no matter how much baseball your daddy exposed you to as a kid. Ceiling-wise, as I’ve said, I do think he’s probably lower than some of these absolute tool demons like Gunnar and Witt and Acuna. I would not trade Gunnar for him, for example. But lots of these guys I’ve compared him to as 2Bs (Cano, Utley, Altuve, Pedroia, Kinsler) were not super tooled-up guys, and they’re all among the 25-50 most valuable players of the last 25 years or so. I don’t know that you have to be a Greek god to be a perennial All-Star type player, at least at that particular position.  
    • Why do you want to elevate the opposing pitcher's pitch count?
    • I really hope that doesn't happen. Hyde said that the 6-man rotation was not going to be a permanent thing, nor should it with our schedule and our bullpen situation. The pen needs a long man. Suarez is a maybe to complete five innings. Suarez should be in the pen, not starting at Yankee Stadium.
    • If a team is not getting walks, they aren't elevating the opponent pitcher's pitch count. They are also having quicker innings and taxing their own pitchers.
