bigbadbuff23835 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Can we take MadBum and not have him pitch until October? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48 1/2ers Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I'd be pretty surprised if Bum doesnt fetch a top prospect. Not top 3 prospect but forsure a handful of guys with real big league potential. Madbum is pretty clearly the best available starting pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh...I mean, I think that there are guys like Stoman that you could make the case would be better targets just because he's having a nice year and may not cost as much, but I don't know that his season is actually "better" than MadBum's (suppose it depends on what you figures you put the most weight on). And it also depends on who is actively being shopped (not just "oh, we will listen to offers, but you better move the stars in order to convince us to go through with it). The low key guy that would probably be worth targeting would be Mike Minor if the Rangers sell off parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4L Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 59 minutes ago, holt_bruce81 said: Is he though? Yes, he is. He has had a few bad outings that make his stats look bad overall, but there are nights where he looks SHARP. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=bumgama01&t=p&year=2019 Didnt have a great april but got better as the months went on. Recently he had one bad outing in Dodger stadium where I suspect they were stealing signs illegally (which means I suspect some sort of technology/electronics were in play). Bum's best asset is his deceptive release. Every pitch looks exactly the same until it reaches the plate. If you know what pitch is coming, he has lost his advantage. The guy is built for innings. He has a huge frame and his release is easy. The 3 quarter release keeps the pressure off his shoulders and his elbow. He is a workhorse who has had two freak injuries in his career, but has otherwise been healthy. He has shown he can pitch on short rest and have success.

beekay414 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I know we need some pitching help but I really don't want MadBum in our clubhouse. He's like the anti-Brewers player right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are cheaper, still legit options in the Giants bullpen who are having solid seasons. I'll be honest, I'll legit be upset if we don't move at least 3 bullpen arms.

Getting pissy when he gets owned by Max Muncy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting pissy when he gets owned by Max Muncy. *Dr Evil quotation marks* "owned" It was a solo homerun in the first inning. He was 0-7 lifetime against MAD BUM before that. If you are worried about him messing up a locker room, you are worried about the wrong thing. He can be a little prickly on the mound, sure, but the guy chops down trees with his **** in the offseason lol he is a competitor to the Nth degree I am firmly in the brew crew bandwagon btw, and have been since last season. I am hoping they represent the NL in October this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 It'll be depressing for the Nationals to be linked to all the relievers they need, only to not get them, likely because ownership doesn't want to exceed the luxury tax threshold again.
