Chicago Chiefs's trade block has been updated!

and speaking of guys that are of course available b/c I can't afford to wait for him, Martin Perez can be had probably for a platoony bat
-
Similarly, I would always imagine that Alex Wood is available, not because he sucks, but because isn't he in middle relief right now? Of course if you're contending you'd sell him
-
Nah, he doesn't suck, I just always find it funny when guys that aren't stars "retire"; seems like if you're not a star you don't really get to retire, the game retires you
-
OK, so Alex Wood sucks? Not sure if that's the implication there, but I would argue otherwise.

I think that update is on the level of Matt Treanor announcing retirement...
-
Alex Wood is still available...

I think I just watched Tanaka's first MLB hit - just doing everything.

Oooooooh...pretty box scores: http://statlas.co/

Fun fact this morning: Tulo has more points than Jose Reyes, Jean Segura, and Ian Desmond...COMBINED.

Sitting directly behind home plate, I just watched a game-tying 3 run HR, followed by a walk off 2 run HR in bottom of the ninth of the Greenville Drive

I'm at a day game for the Greenville Drive. Just opened a pack of Cracker Jack and my prize: a Miami Marlins temporary tattoo. I feel like Jose tattooed me yesterday...

Braun in discussions with a couple of teams ...

Three finalists for Fernandez. Have had good conversations with all three teams and now have similar offers out to all three. First come first serve.

Yep, in 2010.

Salazar already had TJS, right?

Salazar: 2013 - 95.9 avg | 2014 - 93.7 avg

Garrett Richards is awesome and unbreakable so stop implying otherwise.

Can't look it up right now but last year Salazar's average velo was through the roof.

Yeah, that's been weird to increase like that. Eovaldi throws harder now then he did a couple years ago, too.
-
Have you seen Garrett Richards FB?
-
Salazar's average fastball this year is 93.7mph
-
If we are talking *average* velocity, there is no better TJS candidate than Danny Salazar.

Doing some research on velo/TJ correlation...nothing special. But I found a list of highest velos in 2011 and pulled all seasons where avg velo is 94+. Check out the list: http://goo.gl/l70EDz #tommyjohnsgalore

I have a good offer for Fernandez that I may accept today. Lots of interest in Fernandez so I will wait a bit, but if you have interest, now is the time to get in the mix.

If you are logging serious mileage, throw 95+, and are under 25, then you are a prime candidate for the reasons Nick mentioned.

Not arguing that you can predict TJS, but I wouldn't call Cliff Lee or Mark Buehrle big TJ risks.

Every pitcher at every level? That strikes me as a bit extreme.

if any of you guys are moving hitting for Fernandez let me know who is in play, still looking for some offense

Lots of early offers on Fernandez. Good chance he gets moved.

Nothing is official on Jose yet. He's had one MRI (results pending) and another tomorrow. But yea, doesn't look good.

Huge hit to Strikes title chances

Before his last crippled start, Fernandez was averaging 7.22 P/IP while in my rotation. Dan Haren should easily be able to pick that up going forward, right?

The NCAA baseball workload is ridiculous. We'll be having this same discussion about Rodon in 24-36 months. But that's not the only cause obviously. No idea how many amateur IP Jose had in Cuba, but probably less than US high school arms

Interesting comparison to Strasburg, though of course Strasburg came through college
-
MLB Network did a roundtable discussion last night with Costas, Smoltz, Verducci and a few doctors to discuss this exact issue. Fascinating discussion. High recommend watching it if its replayed.
-
But then they ride their 17-year-old who throws 92 two to three times in a four-day tournament. It starts there, if not before.
-
I'm not trying to jump to conclusions, but Fernandez is doing exactly what Strasburg did at the same age: http://goo.gl/niFq4Z I agree with EP...I think this is stuff before they get to professional ball.
-
I worked for Perfect Game for the last few years, and saw many of the best high school players in the country. Every coach you talk to says their goal is to help the kids get scholarships/drafted.
