Damn! Well, both are four letters. :) It is up to 6-0 now after four innings. 96 pitches, six hits, four walks, eight Ks and six stolen bases. Quite an interesting day.

Don't feel bad, I have been making a ton of mistakes of that type recently.

Six SB eh? I guess the Cubs are not as worried about TTTP.

Hope Nolan has enough grit.

    • Estevez interests me. He was AL relief PoM inJune. Seems to have figured himself out since leaving Colorado. Was good last year though appeared to tire by the end of the season. He's throwing strikes and not walking guys. According to MLBTR, "Estévez is making $6.75MM before returning to free agency next winter. He’s owed just under $3MM for the rest of the season. That’d drop to roughly $2.18MM in remaining commitments by the deadline." That means if you take on all of the contract you may not need to give up too much in prospect capital. 
    • Zero.  Again, he’s 4th in all of MLB in OAA, has a 116OPS+ and anyone can see he’s hit into a ton of bad luck.  His statcast #s are elite.  I think you are making emotional decisions and letting a few bad games cloud your judgement.  Kjerstad cane onto the scene with a bang, but doesn’t provide the all around benefits that Cowser does.  I think Kjerstad is fantastic.  I want both of them + Mayo on the roster.  
    • Certainly agree on needing a high leverage BP arm or two as well, but that’s beside the point. If (big if) Skubal is legitimately obtainable, I’d be willing to part with one of the big three, all I’m saying. A Burnes - Skubal - GRod trio to go along with our offense would be ideal for October. 
    • The difference between the CWS and A’s is that the CWS play in a weak division. They get 4 guys that plug holes and could be around .500 in that division next year. At the end of the day this is the same package that go thrown around all offseason for Cease.  So it was ok for Cease, but not Crochet who has .5 years of control more, and we’d have him for 3 playoffs. But I guess the milkman Cow gimmick matters that much to people. It’s cool and all, but I’d take a lefty SP for 3 playoffs. 
    • Vespi is definitely ahead of Krook, Gonzalez and McGough, but Krook may just have gotten called up over the other two because he was already on the 40. They may want to keep McGough and Gonzalez in the minors this year so they don’t burn an option year on them if possible. And both probably benefit from more AAA reps anyway, Gonzalez was in international leagues for a couple years and hasn’t performed like this at AAA before and it’s McGough’s first experience at AAA. The most interesting thing for lefties next year is if they hang onto Akin’s last option this year. Then next year they could choose to option Akin and hang onto Vespi once he’s out of options. But I think Akin is easily the most talented of this group and his numbers overall are good, he’s just often frustrating.
