    Sporting News last month had Berrios over Severino and Judge wasn't near them. Kiley at Fangraphs had Berrios over Severino to start the year (haven't seen the update yet) with Judge far away from them. I agree.

    I meant the Rockies have a quality 2B (Story) in their system (if DJ doesn't work out).And the CUbs have Russell.
  3. jimmer
    I'd take Berrios over Severino 10 out of 10 times.
  4. jimmer
    Cubs have a quality 2B in their minor league system and the Cubs have a quality SS ready to take over for Castro

    I'm a Rockies fan, live close to Coloarado and I disagree. I also don't blame the player for injuries. He's a very good player in all aspects including intangibles.

    Not to mention what they could get for Cargo along with Gray, Butler, Story. And they would still have Arenado and DJ. They need to trade Cargo and Tulo this year if they go for the rebuilding and they are a mess, so they should be rebuilding.

    My point was, many of the supposed experts believe money will have to move if they get cost controlled quality prospects (and Berrios qualifies at a position of need). I honestly don't care about the money, don't think the Twins should either, nor think it should be an obstacle in either trade scenario. So, whatever. You may be right, truthfully you almost always are IMO, and that's fine with me.

    The best things about The best things about it:We get a stud player till he's almost 36 (not almost 40) and it's a trade that would actually work for both sides.
  9. jimmer
    exactly, and then I'd turn around and trade Cargo, Blackmon and Hawkins too. Have their 2B and 3B be the face of the team

    Brock is open minded and actually thinks about opposing ideas as opposed to worrying more about winning an argument. That's what good debaters do. It's about the truth. He may not think it's a good idea still, but seems he is at least thinking it may not be so bad. That's a good thing.

    And then the Mets pitched him to the tune of having the most innings pitched in the league the first year they got him. How he was used by them might have contributed to his demise.

    FOR the record, I was never in the camp that said we should walk away from such a deal :-) And obviously I disagree about the money. I've seen Tulo trade scenarios at Fangraphs and other sites during chats that had Rockies getting similar deals and eating some money. MLB Network has said similar things. Berrios is Sporting News #17 prospect in all of baseball as of last month and they need pitchers like him. I wish I could say we'll see, but we aren't getting Tulo anyway.
  13. jimmer
    Berrios is a high quality MLB ready prospect . Polanco is a MLB prospect. They would be getting 18+ year+ cost controlled years while giving up a guy owed 98M over the next 5 years. They are going to have to have to eat some cash in practically any trade where they get quality prospects

    If we gave up Berrios (and I'm with you 100% on Berrios), I'd prefer to give up Walker as well. In fact, I'd prefer to give up Walker anyway. If we lost Berrios instead of Gibson, though, I believe the Rockies would eat more of Tulo's contract. Any way you look at it, it's gonna hurt some to get Tulo. You don't get a guy like Tulo for nobody you'd mind losing.
  15. jimmer
    and you know what, the Rockies may actually prefer Berrios in your trade scenario. I know if I was the Rockies I would. Higher potential, much younger, more cost control. And if we switched out Gibson for Berrios in your trade offer for Tulo, I'd still do it in a heartbeat (and I love Berrios).
  16. jimmer
    Right now, Gibson is sporting a 1.3 WAR. I read earlier that one poster believes Gibson is better than Radke ever was. I think same are over-valuing what we have in Gibson. I get your argument Brock and hope you are right about him continuing improvement, but I think at this point, his absolute ceiling is a 2.5-3.0 WAR pitcher.
  17. jimmer
    Rockies don't need Rosario like they need a pitcher. They have OFs and 2B. When you trade for a guy like Tulo, you expect it to hurt a bit. Some think losing Gibson would hurt. Hopefully, the Rockies view him the way many of you do.
  18. jimmer
    There it is. Best idea yet. Well thought out. And I think the Rockies DO consider that depending on how much of Tulo's contract they have to eat (which has rarely been brought up when talking about how Tulo won't be worth it down the line at cane carrying ages of, 34, 35.) This helps us in the short and long term. Nice job, Brock
  19. jimmer
    and the Indians...
  20. jimmer
    Let's hope those Ks continue as well as the other peripherals trending so well the last select months.
  21. jimmer
    Except it wasn't one month where his ERA wasn't stellar it was two. Two out of four. But hey, I'm not the one who even likes to point to ERA as an kind of telling stat anyway. At least not on a year to year basis. I wasn't the one who pointed it out as a stat to consider to begin with. But if you are going to look at monthly ERAs and include or exclude as a basis of performance, look at them all individually. That would require looking at June's 4.70 ERA too. And if we want to say April was an outlier for his ERA this year and discard it as more or less meaningless in regards to his current ability, why isn't the May ERA too? Because that was amazingly awesome, no? But we have no problem including that in his actual performance evaluation? We think an ERA of 1.36 is closer to his true ERA, with those peripherals?
  22. jimmer
    except one of the three stats you JUST used to say he was above average was ERA. (while I used FIP, K/9 and WAR). So we don;t use ERA on a month to month basis to evaluate? We toss out two months worth of ERA that drag him down and include the two months of ERA that don't and use the overall as a stat to point to as him being above average by a decent margin?
  23. jimmer
    If we are dissecting his months...His God awful April? With his ERA of 4.84? Are we ignoring his June? ERA of 4.70? Half his months this season, he's been at 4.70 ERA or higher. Did his April and June drag him down or did his very good May and July pull him up?
  24. jimmer
    Dozier's WAR his first year as a full time starter (2013) was a 2.6, then 4.8 and he's on pace for another high 4 WAR this year. I'm not sure Gibson and Dozier equate. But I agree the last three years are the most prevalent for any player, assuming he has played that long. What have we seen in that time frame from Gibson?
  25. jimmer
    He's above average by a decent margin based on what? Being tied for 57th out of 94 qualifying SPs in WAR? Being 59th out of 94 in FIP? 76th out of 94 in K/9?
