No need for Duda. Offense isn't the issue with this team.
Their schedule after the break is crazy brutal. Very likely that they're shipping players out instead of adding guys by the end of the month.

This is a bad hockey team.
Severino has regressed lately. I'm perfectly happy with playing the kids and selling at the deadline. This team is going nowhere this year.

Severino has been fine.
And Frazier! The kid's bat speed is insane and probably even quicker than Judge's if you can believe that.

This is a bad hockey team.
ERA above 4.50 over the last month. Not terrible but he's come back to earth a bit.

May sound a bit dramatic, but Frazier may have just saved their season.
Mixed bag of starts some have been good, others not so much.
He'll be fine as long as his arm doesn't fall off.

Pitchers have their off days: see Stephen Strasburg lately. Some dominant starts mixed with some not so dominant starts. Not claiming anything here but that even elite pitchers have their struggles too.
Impressed with Severino going seven after the rough 1st inning, that included a phantom HBP and a Y.S. special. Didn't completely unravel like Pineda's been doing recently.
Huge day for Red Thunder. Today was my first time at the new stadium and while the first half was meh, the 2nd half didn't disappoint. Even Betances and Chapman looked sharp. Hopefully Tanaka can close off this 1st half on a good note as they regroup over the ASB.

Mid level prospect or two. Nothing off the active roster and most certainly nothing involving Andrew Romine.

Yeah and the Padres asked for Gleyber Torres
Don't blame em tbh. We got Gleybor for an elite LH reliever as well...
Comparing Chapman to Hand is ridiculous. The Yankees were also able to leverage the Cubs desperation to win (+ other competitors for Chapman) and unearthed a stud who is more valuable today than he was a year ago.
I bet they get a pretty nice package for Hand though. Relievers are always overpriced at this time of the year and I hope the Yankees stay away. If they're going to move prospects for another piece, it better be a guy under team control for a few seasons who isn't a reliever.

I've still see many scouts concerned about both him and Rosario at the ML level saying their BB vs K ratio simply is not good enough for them to be legit ML hitters. Rosario has been highly hyped but there has certainly been a share of scouts who are still unsure if he's a legit 280-290 plus ML hitter.

I've not seen anyone say that about Rosario. He's top 10 on every list out there, top 5 on most, 1 on some. His strikeout numbers are not even high. He doesn't walk, but thats not really such a big deal, he's also pretty young. He's hitting like .325 counting the last two seasons. Not sure thats a problem.
I think the Smith concerns are opposite anything doing with BB's/K's. He's a 1B with fringy power, and his weight is kind of a problem. I know he's hit a few more HR's recently, but unless he can show he's a 20 HR in the ML type of player, I don't know if he'll be any more than average. Kind of hard to be more than an regular at 1B without plus power.
