    No magical Luzardo drop there coming

    • Mish tweeted an “I got one more in me” meme. You’d think Nardi, if that other report is true. Could also be Cronin.

        I hope it is Cronin. We are running out of lefties!

        Nardi is kind of important here! He's a top 10-20 lefty reliever in the league and controlled for awhile. This team could be good. The pitching is very legit.

        C - Fortes, Banfield/Ramirez
        1B - Burger, DDLS
        2B - Edwards, Otto
        SS - ______, Sanoja
        3B - Pauley (Sanoja)
        LF - Sanchez, Norby
        CF - ________ < --- Maybe Mesa Jr
        RF - Stowers

        SP - Sandy, Luzardo, Max, Garrett, Cabrera, Weathers

        • I'd let all of those acquired in the Scott deal spend the rest of the season and the start of the next in the minors. San Diego rushed them a bit.

            • But I'd let Mazur rip as a reliever personally.

              Would be ideal to let Pauley hit AAA for a bit. Yoan Moncada would be the FA name.


              And I mean let rip opening day 2025 in pen, don't care about this year****

              • Mazur in the pen for a season before moving into the rotation wouldn't be a terrible idea.

                  I think he is a FB/Slider reliever. Which isn't an insult.

                  • Mish says no more.

                    I'll go with Todd and say Pauley goes to AAA to start 2025. I'll also say Mesa Jr. shouldn't be up.


                    Opening Day 2025:

                    C - Fortes, Banfield/Ramirez
                    1B - Burger, DDLS
                    2B - Edwards, Otto
                    SS - ______, Sanoja
                    3B - ______ (Sanoja)
                    LF - Sanchez, Norby
                    CF - ______
                    RF - Stowers

                    SP - Sandy, Luzardo, Max, Garrett, Cabrera, Weathers
                    RHP - Mazur, Bender, Brazoban, Cronin, Faucher
                    LHP - Nardi, ____


                    $58m
                    -$46m+ on field (half of this is Sandy and Luzardo BTW)
                    -$12m Garcia (Fuck man)
                    -$Eury minimum on IL


                    Four guys needed. $58m.

                    -Adames ($23 for years)
                    -Moncada ($7)
                    =$88m
                    -Trade Luzardo for a stud CF
                    =$81m


                    $81m and need two pitchers. A 4/5 SP and a 2nd lefty. Luxury upgrades for the rest of the bullpen.


                    The math maths for a Bruce payroll of under $100m.

                      You keep saying this but his change and curve both grade pretty highly, too. In fact his curve has been better than his slider so far IIRC.

                      He was also rushed to the majors.

                      • Good deadline overall. Got rid of who you needed to get rid of (FAs/Money/30y+) and got both major and minor league depth as well as $. Definitely a lot more exciting now with the Rogers trade, that feels like the needle mover.

                          Pauley has actually hit very well in July (.871 OPS) after a horrendous June. I’d let him play 3B the rest of the year.

                            • Love what they did at the deadline. Got an infusion of talent this team desperately needed and honestly, didn’t lose a ton that they can’t replace. DLC stinks, jazz never lived up to the hype, Scott wasn’t re-signing, Brazoban is a guy they can find again, and rogers would probably be closer to 10th than 5th in my opinion when all of our starters are healthy. Now we need to develop a god damn hitter for the first time in 7 years

                              • Rest of the year the of should be norby, Stowers, and Sanchez. Edwards at ss, Lopez at 2b, pauley at 3b (wouldn’t care if they want him to develop more at aaa though), Johnston at 1b, Ramirez at c, and burger at dh

                                dont care about the pitching the rest of the way. Just get healthy for next April, they have the arms
