Third place in what? ROY?

'Cuse me me while I kiss this fly. I hadn't heard that. About Mountcastle.

He didn't finish in third, he received a third place vote.

As an aside, both ROY Kyle Lewis and runner-up Luis Robert really slumped terribly in September.  

Lewis: .147/.270/.280

Robert: .136/.237/.173

These guys basically had one hot month, then collapsed.  Really makes you wonder what would have happened over a 162 game season.

That third-place vote for Mountcastle was the only vote cast for a rookie in the AL East.

In an earlier era of baseball, Mountcastle might have been given the nickname Rook (castle = rook). Now he'll probably just be Ryan.

I'm afraid it's going to be Mountie.  Players seem to like mildly altering actual names instead of coming up with spinning something out of whole cloth.

My vote is still for Lord Mountcastle.

    • You’re actually making the most sense of just about anyone on here.   Hate to say it.  Lol
    • If you use him as an opener, it’s not really “relieving”.  I guess I don’t get the issue.  If a pitcher gets hurt and misses a period of time, are you saying it’s risky to ramp him back up to a normal innings load?
    • Ah. So you can only get one pick per player? That’s a bummer. Reasonable, I suppose. But a bummer nonetheless 
    • It's true that this has been discussed, and there are differing schools of thought.  Some, like myself, feel that the resources required in a Crochet deal, might be better served addressing a more impactful need for 2024: a ToR starter.  As a starter beginning next season, it's likely Crochet's impact will be higher as a strong ToR starter through the final two years of control.  In the meantime, there are quite a few very solid veteran late inning relievers that we could deal for in order to satisfy that need, and that wouldn't require near the cost of a Crochet.
    • It makes sense to me for multiple reasons. 1) IMO we do not have the requisite pitching talent in order to matchup favorably against the leagues best in a 7 game series in October. That needs to change. 2) We don’t need extra offense IMO. Nor a back up catcher. We will be fine offensively if we don’t have one considering without both we are number one in the sport. 3) We could resign Burnes with that 50 million (not sure where you are getting that number). But so many here believe it will be a bad deal. And having another #1 in house protects us from having to be leveraged against signing him.
    • Starter and then reliever and then back to starter. Risky risky risky. 
    • Why do we need to outbid someone for Skubal? We still have Bradish and Grayson for years to come. Also a punchers chance at resigning Corbin Burnes. You know what our record was before we signed Burnes? Best record in the AL. You know what our record has been since Bradish got hurt? Tracked down Yankees and took 3 game lead. We have resources to sign players next year. Elias is a value vs risk guy. He got Burnes with Joey Ortiz which is a top 50-60 prospect. He’s not giving up top 10 prospect for a player with 178 innings pitched. I like Crochet a lot but his track record isn’t long enough.
