Dillon? You son of a bitch.

Stuff isn't good. Slight build, doesn't project.
Fastball is flat. Secondaries don't work. Projects for the pen rather than the rotation.
He's been awful repeating A ball and there are real questions about his mechanics. I still like him overall, but there's a good chance that he'll just be a bullpen arm.
I mean, still the ~50th best prospect in baseball according to most publications...
That's pretty damn good for Carlos Beltran.

White Sox front office right now:
They just have to deal Robertson.

I would take this as a sign were I Sandy Alderson.

im actually starting to hope for a chris sale trade.
I want a team to meet their demands and see the fallout of that.
I mean, I don't know how you could have expected to do better than the 4th overall pick in last year's draft for Carlos Beltran.
His first season in A ball means relatively little.

As a highly drafted college pitcher he should dominate low A. Sometimes college pitchers just can't hack it in the pros. It happens.
deGrom had a 5.1 ERA his first year in A ball too... Clearly, he had the talent to be drafted that highly. Certainly wouldn't give up on him this early on.
Smith is like the most popular last name in the United States.
There's probably about 10,000+ Will Smiths

He projects as a BP piece.
It's a decent get for 2 months of a 40 year old DH. But he's not a top-100 guy, they're rating him on projecting his build getting a little more rounded out and his mechanics ironed.
He should be dominating the level. He isn't. His stuff is just meh.
Beltran is having his best offensive season in years, I know he's a dh at this point, but I was hoping for a back-end top 100 guy.
I guess this means a lot more Hicks, huh? Ugh
Yanks are going on his potential. High pick and former top 100 prospect. If he regains his form and is a solid mid rotation arm then it is a great deal for Beltran.

deGrom had a 5.1 ERA because he was a converted SS who had elbow damage.
Just read Tate suffered from drastically diminished velocity this year... Did he get hurt as well?

His mechanics are a huge red flag. Might be dealing with something. But honestly, his biggest issue is that he's 165 pounds soaking wet and can't put a lot on it when he's worn out.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Susac became expendable once Trevor Brown showed he could be a competent backup.
Bickford....hmmm...when SF trades away a pitching prospect in recent years, it's worked out for them. They either don't pan out (e.g. Tim Alderson) or have injury issues (e.g. Wheeler). The last major pitchers traded away that they should have kept were what, Liriano and Nathan back in 03?

The Chapman and Miller deals had me expecting too much. It's an okay return.
Now, please, get rid of Nova. I'll take a bag of balls for him.

Yankees weren't getting shit for Beltran anyway, who was going to be a FA after this season and can only DH. Tate is as much a lottery ticket as any draftee, and if they're getting even more than that? Yeah, I'm happy.
Realistically speaking, there was no way to do much else - so another shrewd move by Cashman.

A shame to let Grant Holmes go but if it was between him and De Leon, I'm glad we kept JDL. As long as we keep him and Urias, I'll be happy.
I think Jharel Cotton is a future MLB player so this was a nice trade for the A's. Hopefully Hill stays healthy for the rest of the season.

P much what happened. His heat has no life, now that it's flat and slow, he's just a BP arm.

Hill's as good as anyone when he can stay on the... hill.
It's a lottery ticket for the playoffs for sure. If he gets starts in the postseason, the chances of winning those games is high.

I think Friedman and Beane played this one well. Friedman has unlimited capital to spend and a very deep farm system he can supplement over the winter. Beane got three legit prospects for a 36 year old pitcher and Reddick.
That said yeah you guys aren't gonna be watchable for a bit.

The starting pitching market has not moved at all today. Overall it has been pretty slow this year.

no Blue Jays trading yet?
Even if he finds a place in the pen and manages to regain from it will be a good move. Elite pen arms are valuable.

No it's a good move. I'm just saying I don't think you acquired a top-50 guy like some people will say.
I think he'll be fine in the pen, and for 2 months of a 40 year old DH that's a great return.

Starting to look like the trade wont happen.
Thank the lord.

Nevermind.

I cannot believe there was a bidding war for Matt Moore. Honestly a few months ago I didn't even think there would be a team willing to just take his salary off the books, the idea hes worth assets is insane. Dude is trash.
