EpPler strikes again!

[ScottM]

ok?

[Second Base]

I'm really not sure why. Dominic Leone is not a good pitcher.

Looks like he had a fairly solid July.  Denno if he figured out anything or improved somehow, as I don't know much about him, but that's the first thing that stands out as I look at his splits.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is fucking horrible

[m0nkey]

I'll say it; Billy won the trade as of 8/1/2023

[TroutField]

That’s a really poor trade. 6 years of control for a shitty pitcher? 

[Second Base]

We gave up Jeremiah Jackson for Dominic Leone?! 

That trade just got worse. It's not to say Jackson is THE PIECE but he's a solid infielder with athleticism and pop. 

Leone is depth fodder.

I don't think losing Jackson is a big deal.  I think the other prospects we traded had more value than he does.

Now I’m thinking what a package of bush, Quero, Jackson, Albright could have brought back. 
 

The rest of the trades were fine but I don’t agree with this at all.

Yeah, I'm not sure this trade was particularly necessary, but I'm interested to see what Perry saw in Leone.  I don't know too much about him, so I'll have to see what some of the reports indicate he can do.

Losing JerJackson for Leone seems a huge overpay. There are some redeeming qualities that i’m sure Perry is banking on. Maybe Leone figured something out?

 

[Second Base]

Dominic Leone is a journeyman that wears down easily and is a choke artist with the game on the line. Jeremiah Jackson is going to be a utility infielder with speed and power, but not enough bat. 

It's not enough to be irate over, but it's dumb and unnecessary.

I thought we would prefer to get a left-hand bullpen pitcher.

Dominic Leone's stats is not realy impressive.

FIP of 5.26 this year, yikes

Don't forget Coleman Crow and Landon Marceaux for Escobar. On value for value basis, that might be the worst one.

According to our very own Angelswin pre-season rankings, DiMinasian has traded away our #4, 5, 13, 14, 16, 18 prospects...six of the top 20. With O'Hoppe, Neto and Silseth graduated--not to mention Bachman and Joyce--that's probably four of the top 10.

[Docwaukee]

well that was dumb.  

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

Leone is a Ryan Tepara clone.... with a little more clicks on the fastball.

Fastball, cutter, slider.

Jackson was blocked by Neto among others.

At this time of year, I'd say look at the monthly splits to see if the trend is positive:

 

 

Not great, but it looks like he is showing some improvement and his K/9 jumped up in July - perhaps a sign of improvement?

Perry Minasian:

The vast majority of his appearances have been solid. But who leaves the pen for him?
