    Yes, the cutter he developed helped prevent a reliance on that regular fastball. Plus he's been using his curveball, which has always been a plus pitch for him, a lot more.

      It's probably a contingency should they have to deal one of their outfielders. Either way, you could slot Bruce or Beltran between OF and DH. If they somehow got Upton that would be a fulltime OF replacement. It's at least good to know that they're taking a 360 degree approach to this deadline though.

        You absolutely should not slot Beltran in the OF.

            Yup, and that third pitch has made him less predictable in certain counts. It's why a lot of experts say this could be sustainable. The third pitch has helped him against batters, and with less reliance on his fastball (I believe I heard he's down to 40% fastball?), he could sustain himself through a season a lot better than in the past.

              I have a feeling Houston will end up regretting that at some point. The guy is just too old. He's already peaked at 32 so he's not going to get any better and he's already entering his decline years soon.

                Rangers and Rays in trade talks. Unsure of the players involved. Possibly Matt Moore or Jake Odorizzi as Texas is searching for starting pitchers.

                  Also discussing Cashner with Padres. I'll take anything, just DFA the bum at this point. WORST...TRADE...EVERRRR

                    I hope not, his contract goes from 14MM to 12, then 10, and then 8. So I like that it's front loaded and won't hurt as much if he doesn't play well later on.

                      Some possible Yanks on the block if they decide to sell.

                        Yankees and Pirates have discussed a Nate Eovaldi trade in recent days.

                          So I'm watching BBTN and Jim Bowden said the asking price for Teheran is at least, if not double the price of the Shelby Miller trade.

                          Also Buster Olney just tweeted that the asking price for Rich Hill for the Red Sox was the same as Pomeranz: Anderson Espinoza.

                            Billy Beane wanted Anderson Espinoza for Rich Hill.

                              Now if we dealt Anderson for Hill...uproar would've been necessary. Sellers market.

                                Wow that's crazy for Rich Hill. If the A's don't lower their asking price for him I'm willing to bet he's still an Oakland A after the trade deadline.
