Don't know what our return is from the Phillies but that deal definitely makes sense. Would love to see Anderson get moved as well. Never heard of them, but the last time this happened one of the nobodies was named Freddy Peralta and we all crapped on it. So I'm gonna shut up.

beekay414 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 This is all I could find from Longenhagen on Ramey Quote Ramey is a very tall young righty with a lower arm slot. His changeup has a chance to be very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umphrey Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Not a lot to go on when you're trading for 19 year olds with no MiLB stats, but this feels slightly better than the Adam Lind - Freddy Peralta trade did at the time. A bit more FB velocity (92, 94, 95 mph) and a bit more height (6'3", 6'3", 6'0"). The Adam Lind guys were shorter and mostly soft tossers at the time.

Seen a few reports since yesterday that say 88-90 for 2 of the 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I'm over this team. The worst offensive team we've had in ages. It's like they have never seen MLB pitching before. Andy Haines is just straight up terrible as a hitting coach. We should've sold but, no, we're neither hot nor cold. Neither in nor out. We are a treadmill team and that's the worst spot to be in any sport. **** Stearns and his half assed bargain bin approach. **** Attanasio for becoming a tightwad and letting Grandal and Moose walk because of an extra year. Our window is over but at least we got the marketable star for the market to replace Braun...another player we wasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umphrey Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hader is the key, I would hope to get 2 MLB regulars for him. I would listen on Burnes/Woodruff but it seems unlikely, they have a lot of team control anyway. I worry though that an arm injury or loss in velocity for Hader kills a 2021/22 rebuild plan and pushes it years into the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just really need a few average position players. Knebel and Cain get the year off and can hopefully come back better because they've finally gotten to rest instead of being injured. Devin Williams is a monster. Knebel/Williams/Hader in whatever order is the same dynamite bullpen blueprint we used last time. If Woodruff and Burnes take that next step forward, that's 2 of the rotation locked down. We just have to find a few regular position players who can get us a boring 2 WAR/pop.

ramssuperbowl99 Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Also it took me seeing slow motion gifs of Devin Williams' changeup to realize it's basically a screwball. That's why it's unhittable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Well, Vogelbach will fit right in with the team approach lmao. The good thing that comes from this is that we'll get to see more Gyorko, who, at least, hasn't looked like a complete turd yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
