Yep. 4 perfect Innings. He along with Kershaw are the 2 best Pitchers IMO. Jake is Very Good but was kind of up and down last season.

The one your facing tonight can be just as dominating Martinez one of the best young pitchers in the league.

and then MadBum hits another HR lmao. First Pitcher ever to hit 2 HR's on opening day! Giants back in the lead 4-3.

 

Incredible. In a pinch hit situation, just send him in.

 

He has the best nickname.

Jay, I took a quick glance at the TV while Joe Torre was shaking hands with other Cardinals greats. I thought I saw Willie McGee. 

 

When I started to follow baseball in earnest, players like McGee, Jose Oquendo, Daryl Strawberry, Mark Grace, Andy Van Slyke, Vonn Hayes, and Andres Galaraga were the prominent players in the NL East. Back then the Cards, Pirates, and Cubs were in the East. The Braves were in the West. Baseball was great then. It still is.

    • So we ended up with 3 more shots, that may provide value if they get on the field and perform well. Yeah! Old news.
    • Back to the original post about this, seems like they got something backwards with their Johnson/Hill numbers. Johnson has decimals, Hill has whole numbers. But chart shows Hill will decimals and Johnson with whole numbers.    Johnson - 19 Hill - 6.03     Jimmy Johnson has early 6th round value   + 16.4pts - pick 183-184 range   https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp?RequestTeam=Ind   Rich Hill has late 5th round value #35 - 170pts   #44 - 135pts #110 - 30pts #158 - 10pts #211 - 3pts   +8pts - pick 167-172   https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart-Rich-Hill.asp?RequestTeam=Ind   Inconsequential, but a little flaw in that data entry.   Only thing I don't like about Rich Hill's is the value he places on those top 3 picks, where I think Jimmy Johnson's has the advantage in my eyes.   Although I like the value gained on Rich Hill's better. Lol.
    • In essense we got Julius Brents, Adetomiwa Adebawore, Daniel Scott and Titus Leo for #35... I really believe that you have to have a great reason not to trade back when that's the value you are getting. To a huge degree the draft is a crapshoot and the difference in expected value between 35 and 44 is probably negligible. And for the price you get 3 more shots at players, some of them with really high upside too.    Of course, there might be some exceptions to the rule(QBs as always break that rule... maybe some exceptional talent at another high value position), but in general if you can get that type of a deal, you should almost always do the trade back. And I think this is one area where Ballard has actually been great as a GM. 
    • I will say, me personally though, I find more value than an early 6th(compilation of trades).   We got 4 players for the 1 pick(#35), once the dust settled, and got the guy we would of probably taken at #35 in the first place.   So adding (3) guys for "free" essentially, is a big win.   So I would say I lean a little more towards value charts than trade charts for that reason. Maybe somewhere in the middle, late 3rd early 4th "value", and that's mainly because I think we would of took Brents at #35 either way.   Seems teams are closer to the trade chart when making deals, but claim the value charts after deal, if it shows a big win.    
    • I see it now. When I first read it, thought you were saying 1st trade down got 6th round value and 2nd trade got 2nd round value.     Then was blinded by just waking up and already looking for a flaw.   Clearly teams aren't using the value charts as you stated in post above.     Thanks for helping me read out the chart. Should just read the picks we kept and sent out. No need to have them cancel each other out.     EDIT: ahh who am I to tell the guy how to do his charts(have to account for the picks). It was my reading comprehension that caused the problem.
