Yeah, Nats farm has been dipped a lot recently for mid season bullpen help. Which is why we need to hit on some of these bridge free agent pen signings to give chance for the young arms to develop. Also feel like we've been too pitcher heavy in the draft lately. Lot of things get overlooked due to how much of a homerun we hit with Soto and Robles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to have them back, but then ask where we'd be without Eaton and Doolittle? We wouldn't have Corbin either, most likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to have them back, but then ask where we'd be without Eaton and Doolittle? We wouldn't have Corbin either, most likely. We actually traded away a solid bulk of good players. Treinen was part of the Doo and Madson trade. Vasquez for Melancon (which, well you know.... But you know what I mean Riggo!) Pivetta may never pan out as a inning eater starter, but maybe still enough there to transition to bullpen. Though we did get The Choke out of Papelbon in the deal. If you expand to include more then midseason pen help, we gave up Ray in the Fister trade, Dunning looks promising too, and Brad Pea**** got himself a mlb bullpen career. And I will always have a soft spot for Lombo. Definitely not saying these trades are losers (cause Rizzo don't play that), but given a choice between signing for help and trading for help, I would usually lean towards signing. And if we can shore up our pen in the offseason, we could keep more of our prospects, which can only lead to good things with our FO's drafting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 We got a world championship out of it, it was worth it. You think the Cubs regret trading Gleyber Torres? Or the Red Sox regret the haul they gave up for Chris Sale? Rings are the name of the game. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 16, but i read scouts like his mentality on the mound. Already 6'4, could be a top of the rotation power arm in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichmondRedskin88 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Apparently some MLB insider predicted Rendon to join the Dodgers and that Turner would move to second base. That would be a really weak move. I mean that’s like Durant type stuff to leave a championship level team to join a postseason rival that you beat. Hope that’s wrong. I understand like The Rangers being from Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 hopefully, they won't need to pull much from the farm next year. Also, it's not like they are going to trade established players for high potential prospects. So, draft well there and play the long game. No to moving Turner to 2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rendon left for the Dodgers he’d be joining the team he beat lol But money talks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 If we lose Rendon, we move Kieboom to third, keep Turner at SS, and grab a FA to eat innings at second to keep Howie's innings down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose Rendon, we need to double down on fielding and defense in general to pair with our expensive rotation. The goal should be to limit runs and use the speed at the top of our lineup to keep pressure on opponents with Soto and Howie ideally going yard in the middle. It will be a considerably worse offense, but if we upgrade the pen and lock down our fielding, we will be a tough nut to crack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like the arms they drafted in the first round the past 2 years. (Rutledge and Denabutg) 97 MPH guys that both keep their velocity through 7 innings. They are both raw and struggle with control at times. But that is some good clay to mold. Also obviously Kieboom and Garcia will be coming up over the next couple of years. They didnt ruin their farm system to get this WS win. http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2019?list=was Edited November 8, 2019 by clskinsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) It's incredible to me that Howie wasnt even a starter for most of the year and still made that large of an impact. What a clutch, focused individual. Edited November 8, 2019 by Bacon 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCSaints_fan Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 On 11/6/2019 at 6:32 PM, Bacon said: LOL I love Tony as much as any fan can, but he's not worth $5 million a year more than Mike Trout and $8 million more than Nolan Arenado. It's also not enough years. Terrible fake contract. Most MLB players aren't all that productive after age 35. Guys like Cruz are an exception. If you figure a guy is going to be replacement level about the time he reaches 35, the only thing that matters is the total money and how much WAR you expect over the life of the contract. Since his age 24 season, Rendon has averaged 5.3 bWAR per year discounting 2015 in which he only played 80 games in an injury plagued season. There's likely to be some decline but lets say he's worth around 4 WAR per season for next 6 years, or 24 WAR total, and rapidly diminishing returns after that. A WAR is worth about $8m on the open market so the fair payment based on that projection would be 24 * 8 = 192, around 200 million. The Dodgers 5/200 might be a slight overpay, but they are probably banking on him being more towards 5 WAR/season average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyson might still be a starter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I want a blue alternate jersey with a World Series patch (you know, since that’s the one they wore for their run) but I haven’t seen one anywhere... anyone know where I can find them or when they’ll be available?
