  • So, having said all that, I place a range of 2nd-thru 5th for Gant. Similar to Jimmy Sleeps; similar to Sheppy. I just can't see an offense as good and as deep as his ever being lower than 5th place, regardless of a pitiful pitching staff. Only wildcard is his affinity for trades, usually of the awful variety. If he suffers an injury or feels that his pitching needs support, he's liable to make his team worse. He's essentially the dumbest smartest kid I know. Fascinating team to follow.

  • If I have any concerns about Gant's offense, it's injury. If 2 or more of his superstars get injured, that's a lot of dead cash on his hands - as the stars/scrubs approach usually deals with. We've all heard the rumors of this being Gant's last season. I don't buy them, won't allow them to happen. But, his team is built on the premise he's done soon. If so, that's too bad. Never has a guy been so entrenched in baseball and nerdom who opted to leave both voluntarily. I'll be sad.

  • Now, onto the offense, it's impressive. And, deep. These are fucking supserstars. Trout/Rendon/Arenado/Martinez/Turner/Bryant/Olson/Brantley (formerly of the Kerrs). There isn't a better top 8 offensive players on any other squad, including our King (I reserve the right to change that depending on a deep-dive of our Majesty's roster). This is the type of offense that Glenny Injuries wish he had. Throw in Canha (I really like him) and a bunch of formerly-good depth (Cano/Murphy/Odor/Cabrera)

  • If you thought the bullpen would bolster the staff like Jimmy, you're mistaken. It's probably even worse than the rotation. No one other than Colome avg'd over 7 pt/IP; no other than John Gant himself is even remotely interesting. Like Shep, this seems to be a bullpen that could be bolstered by trade or even the waiver wires. As a guy who routinely punted on the pen, even when I was competitive, this strategy can work. But, Gant is playing a dangerous game w/ these dudes. I'm not optimistic.

    The Fighting Amy Kerrs on March 28, 2020 2:51 PM

  • Let's start w/ the bad, though. Gant fields a rotation of Sonny Gray/Odorizzi/Garret Richards/Matz/Cy Teheran (great trade, Shep!)/Keuchel/ and perhaps Ross Fucking Stripling. Yes, outside of Reynaldo Lopez and Richards himself, I'm not sure theres any upside to surprise. Is this a 'sign as many below-avg pitchers and pitch against bad teams' strategy? Probably. But, this just isn't a good collection of talent. Odorizzi will regress, Gray is up/down, and Matz might end up relieving. Yikes.

    The Fighting Amy Kerrs on March 28, 2020 2:49 PM

  • When one looks at John Gant, one is struck by the amount of talent on offense. Indeed, NINE FUCKING DUDES averaged over 6 pt/gm last year, 10 over 5.6. While some would point that regression will come calling, most of these dudes are elite and actually some had down years (for them). In other words, John Gant is going to mash teams into submission. As you might expect, the pitching staff offers less to rave about, especially the bullpen. This is just a better version of what Glenn built.

  • Shedding thor with a price tag that I think was way too night might be a blessing in disguise for Glenny. He will probably be able to do more with the money he will get to reinvest then he was going to get out of a 40 dollar Thor.

    Soft Swingers on March 28, 2020 2:28 PM

  • Good to hear. Thanks for the bulletin board material I can use if we ever play!

  • Side note: I actually did not find my drugs. But, I had backup. Love the feedback. Instantly! #AmyIsComing

    The Fighting Amy Kerrs on March 28, 2020 2:09 PM

  • Sorry, Shepper was wrong. He finished 2nd. Shepper said he finished 7th. My bad, Glenny.
