Thank goodness.  Hays is looking like he has a shot at RoY.

As for Cobb, I wasn't expecting him to make it out of spring training.

Well at least one of you still cares! :D

Hays has been fantastic and I've moved him to the number three spot due to his power surge. The sim says he's minimally hurt so i could use him, but won't until he's 100% so I don't risk further injury. I think that means Monday or Tuesday he'll be back in the lineup but I might use him if there a pinch hitting situation that comes up in a key part of the game, ala Kirk Gibson in the '88 series! 

I was waiting for the other show to drop with Cobb as well and was actively trying to trade him before he imploded. But alas, the computer is smart enough not to take an overpaid, fragile starter coming off three good starts.

This should give us a look at Kohl Stewart as a starter for a bit until the AAA guys get at least 4-5 starts under their belts and i can decide who looks most ready. Mike Baumann is pitching really well in AA so  may move him to AAA after a couple more starts.

Cobb sucks.  He's been hurt for me and when he's been on the mound he has been absolutely terrible, I think he's got a 7.10 ERA.

So I let it be known that I wanted to work out a trade and the only thing I was offered was Rusney Castillo.  I held onto Cobb hoping maybe he'd get better.

I simmed ahead a little bit, it's now late July.  And what does that jerk do?  He has THE GALL TO REQUEST A TRADE.  So I shop him around again and what's the only offer I get?  Rusney Castillo.

So I just tried to demote him to Delmarva.  That didn't work.  But I am going to make his life hell, that's for sure.

      It can’t hurt to do research on him and place a call to Cards GM & see what’s involved . We need SP help .

      You must choose a 26-man roster from 26 seasons. Here are the rules. Ignore 2020 Select 13 position players, with 9 starters and 4 bench players Select 13 pitchers, with 5 starters and 8 relievers You can only select one player from each season from 1998-2024 (exclude 2020) You can only select a given player ONCE  Starting pitchers have to be starting pitchers, relievers have to be relievers I will amend rules as appropriate from any suggestions you have. Go.

      Rutschman 2nd half OPS .585 - McCann’s 2nd half OPS .785

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Adley's teams have beaten Witt's teams by about 25 games/season the last 2 years and hopefully can maintain a lead the next 2-3 days. If McCann bats 9th, and Ragans is gone before Batter Faced #27, would the risk of forfeiting the DH be considered if a righty reliever is attacking McCann in a key spot?    Hyde has at least Kjerstad and Holliday on the bench, and maybe one of Mullins or Cowser if Slater starts. I am guessing the roster tomorrow will be 14 bats and 12 arms, so you might have one extra somebody for the team's 36th or 45th plate appearance. One factor against taking the chance...zombie runner is gone so the two teams could have long extra innings for the first time all year.

      Not sure if it’s been shared already, but saw this and thought he would totally make sense as someone to target in the offseason. Cardinals are looking to reduce payroll, though not sure what a reasonable offer looks like for a 35 year old pitcher making 25 million a year for the next two years. A very light free agent class this year. Someone will definitely overpay for Burnes and I hope it’s not the Orioles. Severino, Buehler, Bieber and Max Fried are also intriguing. What say you? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/09/report-cardinals-open-to-offers-on-sonny-gray.html

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I was looking that up too. He was in the bullpen throughout 2018 brewers run. Had a very solid first playoff start in 2021, then a not so good one in 2023 as you posted. Postseason is a different animal, and he’s got some experience, but he’s not proven in the playoffs. Time to make that money Corbin!
