Nice job by Elias to get an extra left-handed reliever up here and audition him for the Coulombe role. Krook has basically been Coulombe in AAA. Krook though has reverse splits getting righties out at a .167/.306/.283/.589 slash vs lefties at .257/.366/.371/.737. Vespi has been doing a good job but good to give Krook a shot.

Might as well!

I don't love the 3.71 ERA as a reliever in Norfolk. He had a much better 1.32 in more innings last year for Scranton. But I know he had a pretty excellent stretch for awhile down there early in the year. 

It's basically a free bullpen arm.  If nothing else he available to eat some low leverage innings.

Coulombe has 3 walks in 26 ML innings.  Krook has 17 walks in 26 AAA innings.   I hope and think we don’t see him actually pitch while he’s up here unless it’s a blow out.

He'll clearly need to pitch in very low leverage before getting any opportunities in high leverage, but he was pitching very good overall outside of two games that makes his stats look much worse.

Now, saying that, both of them have been in June but he as pretty lights out before then posting a1.25 ERA and holding batters to a .189/.294/.243/.537 slash in 21.2 innings. 

Now, I agree that he's here to be an extra arm, but i also think he's auditioning just like any other pitcher who gets an opportunity. Vespi is certainly ahead of him, and he's most likely the guy is going to go back to AAA when Burnes returns before his next start, but this is an opportunity to leave an impression. 

Vespi has done quite well since given his opportunity once again and I would not be surprised if he continues that he could see higher leverage situations, especially when Perez or Akin are not available.

      Optimal position player roster for second half and playoffs?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I think we can try and develop Mayo at 3B, and Westburg at 2B, while rotating Mateo in to keep him getting reps, in July and August. Then reevaluate and coalesce for September+. I say throw the best offensive lineup out there and hope whatever defensive loss we have is leveled out by the offensive increase. You can always go back to defense and Mateo. Usually defense and speed doesn’t slump.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      He will no doubt be a BP weapon if that’s what he has to be. The problem is, you aren’t trading for him to throw you 20-30 innings.

      Someone worse than Melanie Newman(hilarious)

      This is an AI generated fake. Of course no professional would be this bad nor would a baseball fan call a home run a 4-base hit.

      So, who WOULD you trade?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Between now and the deadline, I trade Hays and Urias and then add a RH OFer more capable of playing CF.(unless they feel Mateo can be that guy) I make Mountcastle available if it nets me a piece that helps right now (I would trade him in the offseason for pieces that are far away if that’s the best offer). I’d be ok with trading Santander for a similar return thought process as Mounty as well. Im trading any prospect that isn’t amongst our top 4 prospects (Silent J included) but would prefer to not move Liranzo, Arias, Forret, DeLeon and Sosa. I would consider Kjerstad in a Mason Miller or Crochet trade although it would depend what else is in the deal.  I would move Kjerstad for Skubal but not pairing him with any of the other top 3. (I don’t find any of these 3 scenarios all that likely, this my stance of not trading him) Estevez and Nardi (if made available) would be my top 2 BP targets as of today.(meaning, we know those teams are sellers but who else will be?) I would consider Fedde but not overpaying for him. He’s not worth Kjerstad imo and that is what they would want I think. Id consider several of the Marlins starters (medicals pending) and Detmers as well.

      That, my good man, is called being a fan. I did not intend that to rhyme. It just organically happened.

      He was -1 OAA in 229 chances last year and he's -5 OAA in 82 chances this year. Defensive Runs saved (DRS) had him at 3 last year and -4 this year. His FRV has gone from 0 to -4. Here's his OAA in detail. That's a pretty deep fall off in my opinion.  I think these numbers are why they hesitant to move Westburg over full time to 2B and bring up Mayo. They may be concerned that Mayo will be worse than Westburg at 3B and Westburg is certainly worse than Mateo at 2B defensively. So while the team certainly upgrades offensively with Mayo in the lineup, Elias may be hesitant to downgrade defensively at two positions. Now maybe with everyday reps Westburg does better? Maybe Mayo will be just as good or even better than Westburg at 3B? I mean, Mayo has a much better arm than Westburg just more erratic.  It's an interesting dilemma for Elias/Hyde to figure out what's best for the team. Without an injury, or Mateo going into a deep slump at the plate, I don't know if they are willing to allow their defense at two positions be at risk for decline.

      Heston Kjerstad 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      I find it kind of funny how one our prospects will have 2-3 good games and suddenly everyone jumps on the bandwagon.   Kyle Stowers had a .924 OPS as of the end of May and he was briefly everybody’s darling.  Now it’s Kjerstad.   There’s a New Kid in Town! Don’t get me wrong, there’s lots to like about Kjerstad.   It just amuses me the way enthusiasm waxes and wanes based on microsamples.
