StLunatic88 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 12 hours ago, CWood21 said: My frustration is with the Jedd Gyorko trade. Why move someone who can help the big league roster this year for minimal savings and at best a lottery ticket? FanGraphs listed him as the 48th best prospect dealt at the deadline with the caption of "teenage relief prospect who sits 89-92 and flashes an above-average slider. Lacks physical projection for a teen." The K% and BB% look nice, but he lacks projection and he doesn't have a ton of velocity. At best, he's a HUGE lottery ticket. Odds are he flames out. What was Gyorko going to do for this team this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd rather have him on my bench than Munoz and in a key spot in a game versus a tough lefty, he's probably one of, if not my first choice off the bench. And its not like were getting great production out of 3B anyways right now. The trade was dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's getting somewhat exposed right now because he's being forced into an every day role, when he's not that... He's been good off the bench in spot starts and pich hitting opportunities...

This is exactly my point. Ot feels like some of you just want to be mad, and are using this as your "big issue" to sink your teeth into since its pretty obvious the asking price on any pitching, but especially starting pitching was outrageous at the deadline. Speaking of the deadline, Im completelty fine with one Deadline, but the fact that they kept it at July 31st with 2 Wild Card spots was just dumb. Should have pushed it to the middle of August.

And what the hell does Lane Thomas have to do to get some playing time? He’s better defensively than any “outfielder” we currently have on the roster and he’s delivered in his limited ABs. Brother, you and me both. Been saying for 2 months he should be here and don't know what else he can do to prove this. He's hitting .541 in his last 10 games... Yet, we'd rather keep hottest hitter in the organization at AAA so we don't loose fringe guys on waivers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Gyorko has said he’s been ready to go on a rehab assignment for a week+ now and has already started one for the Dodgers. I don’t Think there’s any way he isn’t ready to be activated before September 1st, unless an injury occurs during rehab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgers beat writer was on 101 ESPN today talking about how Gyorko may be on extended rehab assignment. He said club loves what they've seen from Tyler White and don't see Gyorko taking his spot...

kgarrett12486 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Not only can we not pitch, now bats have gone silent again since we actually started playing higher end opponents... This team just continues to amaze me at their inconsistency and underperformance across the board... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
