  1. 1. With two upgrades incoming, which two relievers would you choose to replace?

I have more faith Baker can make it back than Perez, plus I think Perez becomes (more) redundant with a likely LHP picked up. Baumann was the easy choice because he has the shortest history of sustained effectiveness of the three. Baumann might get there but we can't afford the risk right now, if indeed we pick up better options.

You want to shut him down 15 days?  I'd rather Hyde just resist the urge to use him for maybe three days and see what happens?

No I would like for him to start pitching like he was before however it isn’t just that he isn’t getting results but also the command and movement he has because of either mechanics, wearing down or injury.

Honestly at this point it might be to place Cano on DL with arm fatigue as he seems to be wearing down and arm slot tells me he either tired or slight injury.

I wonder if there is a video side-by-side of his arm angles and pitches from earlier in the year to today. He just doesn't seem to be getting the same movement on his pitches.

I voted Baker and Irvin. But I think you will see only one more reliever, if you see any, added before the deadline. I think Baker is redundant as they will likely get a power RH to spell Cano for the 8th and occasional close. I'd like to see Jordan Hicks. 

That power righty is Fuji

    • I think at this point its just semantics regarding what a successful deadline looked like.  Elias upgraded three positions - SP, 2 RP.  Could there have been bigger upgrades?  Sure, at a bigger cost.  I think it was sufficient.  What has killed the team is the hitting.  If this team had hit like its capable of, and Soto, Eflin, and Dominguez all pitched exactly as they have, we'd all be feeling a lot better about the team, and probably lauding Elias for those three pickups and what a great boost they were at the deadline.  But we aren't hitting - at all - and I don't know what he could have done at the deadline to fix that. Already agreed that the draft strategy must evolve. I don't agree it was a bad strategy to do what they did so far, but it does have to evolve, just as the organization as a whole has evolved.  And I think it will.
    • I don't mean this as any kind of personal slight toward you. Please do not take this as such. But people/fans showed how they felt about this team who has been a loser for almost 4 months. And largely continued to hedge (beyond the Eflin addition) at the deadline. I bet you who did not have a bunch of empty seats for their playoff game yesterday .... San Diego. IMO it is because of the effort that they put in to continue to engage the fanbase. You can't sell people on the "homegrown" stars idea and no need to add a lot of outside talent. And then some of those "homegrown stars" who were so hyped flop. And then not extend the ones who turn into stars. That communicates a lack of investment by the org. Now when you add that up in the economy/2024 inflation and combine that with all of the other entertainment choices that people have in 2024; things like this will happen. Empty seats during a playoff game = an unengaged/unexcited fan base. The org has to own much of this.
    • I’m getting Gunnar as many PA’s as possible.    Gunnar Westburg O’Hearn Santander Mullins Mountcastle Rutschman Cowser Urias
    • I agree with the idea of stacking lefties in the lineup but O'Hearn scares me at 1st.  One misplay on a ball in the dirt and that may be the game.   I am one also that wouldn't mind seeing Holiday in the lineup as the DH.  We need people to get on base and he started tapping into that ability at the end of the season.  
    • Without looking, I bet your holiday was worse
    • Mullins should absolutely Lead Off Today. Keep westburg 2nd then Gunnar, Tony, O'hearn, Adley, Cowser, Kjerstad, Holliday. Try to jump these guys early.
