O'Neill isn't being traded for a lefty reliever. Nothing to worry about there.

That K rate has not come with what I would consider to be acceptable levels of run prevention. I'm as big of a K/BB ratio guy as you'll find around here, so that's noted, but you have to go all the way back to '13 to find an ERA I want in my bullpen. And he's had one season with an FIP that I find marginally tolerable (last year). Reliever WAR is stupid, but he's had one positive season in his last 5. WPA doesn't exactly stand out either.

Right now, we have options. Multiple options on the FA market. Other trade options as well. Cingrani would be lower on my list than several of those. I'm going to stump for Will Smith until I can't anymore then I'll start moving down the line.

Per 9 is too volatile for relievers. Best to look at straight rates. I agree with reliever WAR.

JMart for Smith. I offer that daily to Zaidi until he accepts.

His article on Bud Norris being a cop for Matheny was good.

Tommy Pham doesn't like him. And I side with Pham on just about most everything in life so, you're probably right.

Noticed the Giants selected a LHP in the Rule 5 draft today..... could they be preparing to trade Will Smith to the Cardinals??

Apparently if you want to hang out with Cafecito, you go to Big Daddy’s in Edwardsville. Looks like he takes a turn at DJ after games.
