Biebs
Civale
Plesac

Thats 26, without counting Parker and Shaw.

Six have to go.

If you want to keep Gose, because of extremely small sample size, which ones are you willing to let walk?

Hence why I think we can make a trade...

Gose is a hard one to decide on since that fastball is explosive and if he can command it, then I don't see why he cannot be a late inning reliever....

If I told you as a manager, you had a 100 mph fastball with command from the left side and right side to choose from in the late innings, I think you would like, "Hell yeah!"

..and if you exposed him to waivers by some other team as a GM.. you'd be fired..

Not necessarily.

There have been flame throwers in the past that couldn't find home plate with a spotlight.

A GM that is blinded by such a light, and chooses it over perfectly fine pitchers is the one who gets canned.

 

[CATS44]

If I had a Clase from the left side, I'd be thrilled.

But at this point in time, I dont. What I do have is two Clase wannabes from the left side in Gose and Hentges.

...this one CAN find home plate.. no spotlight is needed.. no map required.. no guidedog as he's alergic to dogs..

Comparisons to others.. is relevant.. any other guys that throw with their left arm ...get it up to 100+ mph and are able to find home plate regularly in a SSS?.. Who are those guys?

Easy! Wittgren, Allen, Young, Moss, Scott, Hill, and include Morgan in a trade. That's 7. I happen to like Garza more than Morgan, but it's not worth debating so include Garza with the ones taking a walk elsewhere if you want. Hell, you can let Garza walk and include Morgan if you like. Call me a fool if you like, but if Garza stays in this organization I think he'll force his way into a role, and it might be as a starter. I like guys with an easy, repeatable delivery and a 96 mph FB with movement.

So a 3.50 area ERA in his what last 7-8 starts is irrelevant as a SP?

Not irrelevant at all, but Morgan is short lived at best in Cleveland's rotation. Best to get something out of him while the getting is decent.

 

[xmasbuck]

Jose with his 100th RBI on the season (assist to straw)

 

[xmasbuck]

double, walk, sperez hr - 3-1 royals - hope Plesac gets an out

 

[KluberSociety]

Plesac looks like he's physically struggling out there

 

[TomD]

Harold doing Harold stuff.

 

[33Y0]

Harold making an easy case to be off this team after this season.

 

[xmasbuck]

hard to say who's worse tonight - Harold or Zach - Hedges trying to get into the competition too

 

[KluberSociety]

Half expecting Plesac to be diagnosed with COVID after this, he's sweating like crazy, red and looking miserable
