Garrett has really been throwing the ball well in AAA. He pitches around 93-4 but can touch 96 with a nice splitter. I can see him getting a shot. He's earned it.

I saw him getting a little higher I believe. I thought I saw some 97s recently.

Certainly could have. I only pulled up his statcast info on a few games this past week when I thought he could be inline for a promotion.

Here are all the Norfolk pitchers...FIP likes Bazardo/Vespi a little better.   Garrett's sterling ERA helped by big Strand rate.

Also just looking at that as a whole....boy does everybody walk 10%+ of hitters down there.

After Yennier though, anyone they give a shot...who knows what to expect anymore?

Guessing Garrett will be for a day or two. Need a bulk guy to replace Voth.

Why only a day or two?   What P do you expect us to bring up longterm?   Or are you implying you think we'll drop to 12 Ps and have a 14th position player after a day or two?

We dropped briefly to 12 Ps a few weeks ago but I don't think that is sustainable the way Hyde burns through his bullpen.

We have lot of off days coming up though.  5 straight then off Monday then 2 games and off again Thursday so should have a chance to rest pen next week.

That would be great if Garrett can be a reliever Hyde can rely on as a bridge to Cano/Bautista. There really isn't any one reliever that can be trusted in that role besides any pitcher who has a hot hand at the moment.

    • I hope that Elias is not that dogmatic when it comes to FA pitching acquisitions. If you don't draft them and you don't sign them, you are limiting top pitching acquisitions to come only via trade. That strategy is not sustainable. Another Burnes type trade will hurt us bad. I would to go after any of the first four names on your "not in play" list. If we are letting Burnes walk out the door, most of these names cannot give you anywhere near the production and you will likely be at a disadvantage come game 1 in the playoffs. Some of the names from your "possible free agents" list should not even be considered IMO. Max Scherzer/Justin Verlander/Alex Cobb are all the end of the line and are very likely to be injured just like they were this season and the season before that. Those guys need to retire. Again, if you are not going to fish at the deep end the pool, then we will probably need two guys from your "possible free agent targets" list. Maybe Eovaldi +Montas? It's not great but gives us a shot to have a deeper rotation to go along with Eflin, Rodriguez, and Kremer. Then maybe you get Bradish back for the postseason? Maybe?
    • I’m pretty confident in saying that he won’t be the consensus #1 prospect like the others were.
    • A question precedes #2: when will the left field wall be fixed?  I think I remember Elias saying they probably went too far, which is quite literally true.  No reason they can't fix it quickly.  I had no problem with them moving it back but it is pretty absurd where it is.
    • On #3, I would guess that Elias is very wary about going longer than 3 years for a starting pitcher (maybe four years if pitcher is younger and AAV is favorable).  I think Mike and Sig believe the history of long-term SP deals isn’t favorable and the wrong deal could derail a mid-market team with dead money.  I’m not sure they are wrong (e.g., Patrick Corbin, Strasberg).   I don’t think ownership cares directly; I would guess they just give Elias an annual baseball ops budget and forecast and he can choose how he manages against that.   Not in play Gerrit Cole Corbin Burnes Max Fried Blake Snell Jack Flaherty    Possible free agent targets Yusei Kikuchi Nathan Eovaldi Nick Pivetta Sean Manaea Luis Severino Alex Cobb Max Scherzer Justin Verlander Jose Quintana Frankie Montas Spencer Turnbull Andrew Heaney Matthew Boyd   Possible trade targets Garret Crotchet Sandy Alcantera Jesus Luzardo Eduardo Cabrera Reid Detmers Emerson Hancock Jordan Montgomery Lance McCullers Jr.
    • Is Webb anything special.  I would rather replace Webb with Norfolk shuttle guy.
    • Our SS is Gunnar, our CF in this scenario would be Cowser, and C is Adley. Hopefully none of those guys are in contention for being the team's worst hitter next season. We don't need a power bat in LF - we need to add a good contact bat, that can use all fields and run.
    • Kemp was part of it but bringing back 2 UTIL IF is blocking your best prospect when your manager covets veteranosity. If they aren’t resigned then Holliday gets a longer leash.
