Hi Mike,
Always appreciate all your help!!
2.Would you start Ryan Weathers at home vs CWS?
Thank you!!!
Thanks!!!!
Still a no for me. Schmitt has been a good hitter (better under the hood than Gelof, but much worse home park). The gap between Baz and Gray isn’t worth an everyday bat for me. I’d prefer to trade two pitchers for Gray if the Gray owner is desperate for another arm.
Great advice!! What about Noah Cameron plus Baz to get Grey?
If not Grey, who would you try and get for Cameron and Baz?
PS Grey has pitched well but behind 3-1. He has gone 7 innings and allowed 6 hits/waled one and struck out 4.
Once again, really appreciate all your insight!
That’s probably a touch light, but a solid opening offer. Seems like you have Weathers too – Baz & Weathers is a solid package to offer.
Great input.
Do you possible to get Joe Ryan or is that too ambiguous? Do you have another suggestion for a pitcher besides Grey?
really appreciate all your help!!
