I guess could try him there.   But I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t get dropped. 

Yeah, he's been a really bad pickup by Elias. It's really amazing how good this team has played with such bad trade deadline work by Elias. Flaherty has been quite the embarrassment and while Elias didn't give up for him, the fact that Verlander, Scherzer and Montgomery have all been good could come back to bit Elias come playoff time.

We'll just have to see.

Think people are overreacting a bit to Cano though. Bautista has given up 3 runs in an inning before. I will say I think Hyde has to remember to get him work. When he comes in after 4 days off, he has struggled 

Yep, this is a one in a hundred years team. Seriously.

I have a feeling that if we would have seen what was being asked of the Orioles to trade for Montgomery, no one here would have done it.   As for Scherzer and Verlander, I imagine they were available for a more reasonable price and Elias might live to regret not trading for Verlander.  I am not convinced about Scherzer.   I think Fuji was a good pickup though and Webb has been really good until they pitched him into the ground.  It also appears Hall is of help and Means might help too.  But agree, one of those 3 mentioned would be nice.

    • If I was a team owner, and my GM radically altered his plan in response to a four-game losing streak that didn't take us out of contention, I'd fire him on the spot. Four games in June tells us nothing other than the team is going through a rough patch.
    • Looking at some of the Marlins starters statcast data, it’s funny how all of them seem to have a lot of subpar data. I wonder if there is something in how the Marlins are teaching them?
    • I doubt that will be the rotation. 
    • Grayson, Kremer, Irvin, Povich, McDermott.   YES!!!
    • The title of this thread is pretty ridiculous. We have no idea how people rate the rest of the system.  There was a prospect guy (not sure who it was) on MLb Network a few weeks ago that was saying the Os 15th prospect is a top 5 guy in several organizations. What I would say is if the Os aren’t willing to deal any of their top 3 (hope so) and don’t want to trade Kjerstad, they will struggle to put together an offer to get a TOR guy, if one is even available. I think that’s fair to say.
    • Cleveland arrives off a hot week where they gained AL1 position over the Eastern leaders. Team Stats - their RP are 1st of 30 by fWAR, and their SP are 30th of 30 by fWAR, so pitching that is as 2014 Royals vibe as it gets.     Tanner Bibee is the only one out of the Bieber-Bibee-Gavin Williams top of rotation plan to be present in midseason, and he leads off the series. Steven Kwan has taken the baton from Luis Arraez.    Adley's college teammate's .400 quest will snowball as a story if he stays in range after the All-Star break. David Fry is maybe the league's most random fantastic year out of nowhere, but he made a midgame exit yesterday. For a change they are not leading the league in lowest K%, but they are still Top 5.     Their offensive style has for a lot of years anchored on contact skill, but they don't hit for much power. Jose Ramirez is doing that Marcus Semien thing just stacking those big seasons into the early 30's racing up the Hall of Fame credentials ladder. I don't believe CLE overall is near as strong as BAL-NYY but they have banked a lot of wins.    Their 75 team games YTD is the MLB low, so a lot of offdays and/or rainouts, but a lot of grind ahead for those top relievers who have already been taxed a lot this season.
