PleaseBlitz Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Last 2 years Tanner is 22-26 with about a 4.50 ERA, 4.2 FIP. He was okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took one for the team in 2015 when he was asked to be a jack-of-all trades - long reliever, set-up man, spot starter - instead of being an every 5th day starter. Tough assignment to take on and thrive at. The seasons before and after 2015 were really REALLY good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough assignment to take on and thrive at. Totally agree. Love Tanner for that. Quote The seasons before and after 2015 were really REALLY good. 2017 and 2018 are seasons after 2015 and they were mediocre, at best. Tanner is a guy that’s super easy to root for*, but if you just go Machiavelli and look at the raw results recently, he’s upgradable. *I particularly loved his family coming in droves to watch him dominate the Cubs at Wrigley.

Agree that he dropped off the last two seasons. I do want to learn more about new Tanner. He’s younger, and his minors numbers look impressive.

Dan T. Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Good Cincinnati Inquirer piece on Tanner Rainey from just before last season. 97-98 mph fastball, wicked slider, prefers relieving to starting. Was a pitcher and power hitting first baseman in college. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/mlb/reds/2018/03/09/cincinnati-reds-prospect-tanner-rainey-making-big-impression-his-big-fastball-and-slider/411759002/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 We squeezed everything we could out of Roark. He's got nothing left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is on the decline. This the second year in a row he's been very inconsistent and the crater is coming. It wouldn't shock me if he had a high-4, low-5 ERA this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll find a better use of $10m this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHuv21 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I think what he's trying to say is Bryce isnt going pull an Arod or Cano and just go to the highest bidder. If a contender, those last few teams mentioned, don't break the bank for him he'd settle for a short term deal with the Nats and try his hand in 2-4 years at free agency again.

Warhead36 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 White Sox would be super random. They aren't close to competing. It'd be like A-Rod signing with the Rangers all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I think the White Sox make a decent amount of sense. They are in one of the largest media markets, but have to compete for interest with the Cubs. Harper would immediately ramp up their ability to command attention. Harper's young enough they the Sox could build the team around him if they are willing to spend. Although, by that logic he should just go to the Mets.

Riggo#44 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The White Sox could be intriguing. They have a couple of real high-ceiling guys coming: Eloy Jimenez has some prodigious power from the right side--hit 28 HRs in AA and AAA last year, in just 108 games. He could form a nice tandem with Harper in the 3-4 slot. They have Michael Kopech, and his 100-mph fastball, on the cusp with Dylan Cease right behind him. They are the #4 overall farm system.

TheGoodBits Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 1yr $4m with a mutual option for 2020. Was thinking I’d prefer Bour and he only got 1yr $2.5m from LAA. But they are practically the same player and Adams was good for us last year. Guess that means they gave up on the 2B/1B combo player idea.
