Regarding the Pineda trade: Pineda: 10.0 fWAR vs. Montero: -1.4 fWAR for the Mariners.
I will go out on a limb and declare that the Yankees won that trade.OSHA Inspector for the NBA.Comment

Re: 6/12 - 6/25 Game Discussion Thread
No HR= no offense.
This Jays team is far too dependent on the long ball and can't hit with RISP to save their lives. I'm actually hoping Shapiro and Atkins become sellers because the dynamic of this franchise has to change. I'll take a season or two of losing if it means having an adequate offense that doesn't rely on the long ball all the time.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

I don't understand Atlanta's struggles at home. 9-27 at home and trailing 7-4 today.

Re: 6/12 - 6/25 Game Discussion Thread
It is baffling what is going on with Arrieta...they were talking about all the innings he's thrown being an issue, but I just think his mechanics have too many moving parts. Second straight start he can't get through 5...
I can't believe how this Cubs team has played this year...all around, they have underperformed."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." - Rogers HornsbyComment

Re: 6/12 - 6/25 Game Discussion Thread
ESPN had an article today that said he's got some kind of thumb injury that is affecting his grip. Don't know about that, but he's certainly missing something.
I don't agree with the moving parts comment about his mechanics, I think he's just landing way too far toward 3rd base.Comment

Re: 6/12 - 6/25 Game Discussion Thread
I agree that the team as a whole has underperformed--there's no debate there. There isn't one area of the team that's responsible either, which has to be frustrating for Epstein as he plots and schemes. I was trying to pin it mostly on the bullpen a month or so ago, but it's become clear that's not accurate. Young guys aren't hitting and starters not named Lester have been bad relative to what was expected of them. It's hard to fathom that Kyle Hendricks was the NL ERA leader last season, which goes to show 2 things...Kershaw didn't pitch enough healthy innings to qualify and ERA is not a great stat.
As for Arrieta, it's becoming clearer and clearer that his Cy Young season was an extreme outlier. He's not as bad as he was in Baltimore, but he's not the no-hitter-on-any-given-night player he was in 2015 either. Basically, he's a decent SP #3 option for most teams and for the Cubs' starting pitching to be really potent, he needs to be as good or better than Lester. Arrieta's velocity and movement have dipped substantially if you compare his PITCHf/x this year to 2015/2016. He's not nasty enough right now to overcome spotty command.Chicago Cubs | Chicago Bulls | Green Bay Packers | Michigan WolverinesComment
