We may actually have something to build on. Good series win for the Rangers. This just showed that the Yankees will definitely need to trade for another starter. They are in a great position to do it, with a farm system so loaded that they cant find a spot for some of their prospects. Cole Hamels anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Read/heard that when he went to Houston one thing they did different was film him with a super high-frame rate camera and they found something that needed a small adjustment and it's made a huge difference. He's been playing the best ball of his career since he left. I sure as fock hope Justin isn't tempted to wear a Houston cap on his HOF statue. Players don't get to choose their HOF caps anymore. They maybe asked preference, but the HOF has final say now, so Justin would need a lot more years in Houston before that would be his cap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

posty 2,295 Posted May 25, 2018 Hanley Ramirez cut by the Red Sox... https://www.mlb.com/news/hanley-ramirez-designated-for-assignment/c-278245918 The Red Sox designated Hanley Ramirez for assignment on Friday, making room on the roster for Dustin Pedroia, who was activated from the disabled list. When a player is designated for assignment -- often abbreviated "DFA" -- that player is immediately removed from his club's 40-man roster, and 25-man roster if he was on that as well. Within seven days of the transaction (it was previously 10 days), the player must either be traded, released, or placed on irrevocable outright waivers. In the midst of an 0-for-20 skid, the 34-year-old hit .254/.313/.395 with six home runs and 29 RBIs in 44 games for the Red Sox this year. In his four seasons with Boston since 2014, Hanley slashed .260/.326/.450 and garnered 78 home runs with 255 RBIs and 71 doubles. Unless he's claimed, the Red Sox will pay about $15 million that remains on Ramirez's contract, which runs through the end of the 2018 season. It should not be assumed that the Red Sox are just going to eat the money and let Ramirez sign elsewhere. In fact, there is some recent precedent for a team DFAing an impending free agent and working out a reasonable trade. The Mets designated Matt Harvey for assignment on May 5 and then swung a deal with the Reds for catcher Devin Mesoraco a few days later. Both players are eligible for free agency this winter and have been performing well with their new clubs. Mitch Moreland is expected to be the Red Sox full-time first baseman with some platooning from Blake Swihart. Ramirez was the 2006 Rookie of the Year and a three-time All-Star with the Marlins. He finished second in MVP voting in 2009, hitting .342 to win the NL batting title. In that season, Ramirez had 106 RBIs and 24 home runs with 42 doubles in 151 games at shortstop. He won Silver Slugger Awards in '08 and '09 and was the Player of the Month in June of '08. Ramirez signed a four-year, $88 million deal with the Red Sox in 2014. During his final year of the contract this season, Ramirez was on pace for a $22 million option for 2019 vesting. He was 302 plate appearances away from hitting that mark. Ramirez hit just .163 with three home runs, 12 RBIs, four walks, two doubles and 14 strikeouts in 19 games in May. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,552 Posted May 30, 2018 It's not like Houston has the lowest reliever ERA in the AL. Oh, nevermind, that is exactly what they have. Their bullpen sucks. It is known. And inherited runners scored would be a lot better way to judge a bullpen/reliever than ERA. Whip is also better. Some of you have much to learn. It's ok, pay attention and I'll show you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted May 30, 2018 Sipp, Smith, and Devinski have allowed 3 of 17 inherited runners to score. That is three solid relievers right there. Since you brought up WHIP, Houston relievers are third in all of baseball with a 1.10 WHIP. Do they need a better closer? Sure. But even with Giles, they have a better save percentage than, say, the Yankees (or the Dodgers, Indians, Giants, Angels). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
