Welcome to the gang @JerryTillery....ASAP... bolt gang or don’t bang... let’s get to work......."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections San Diego Chargers Daily LinksSan Diego Chargers NewsSan Diego Chargers OffseasonSan Diego Chargers HistorySan Diego Chargers HumorChargers fans Youth Jerry Tillery Jersey , players, and media react to the Jerry Tillery pick on Twitter New,12commentsPDTShareTweetShareShareChargers fans, players, and media react to the Jerry Tillery pick on Twitter Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY SportsJerry Tillery’s new teammates expressed their enthusiasm for his arrival to the Chargers roster. Pro Football Focus believes that the Chargers got a steal for the second consecutive year in the draft.Not a bad player to be compared to either. The media gave solid praise for the Chargers newest defensive tackle. Tillery came into the NFL Draft with a very diverse player ranking. But his size, skillset and ability to rush the passer should be a welcome addition to a defense that needed to fill a huge hole along their defensive line. Early Monday morning, Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller released his latest three-round mock draft for all 32 teams. It’s definitely one of the more interesting mock drafts I’ve seen this off-season..."Early Monday morning, Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller released his latest three-round mock draft for all 32 teams. It’s definitely one of the more interesting mock drafts I’ve seen this off-season for the Chargers, that’s for sure.Is it realistic? My gut says, “Absolutely not.” But who knows. Crazier things have happened. So without further ado, here’s what the good people over at Bleacher Report gave to the Bolts in rounds 1-3.Round 1 - Pick #28: WR AJ Brown Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys 2019 , Ole MissSo right out the gate this pick is a head-scratcher. The Chargers just used a first round selection in 2017 on Mike Williams and drafted Dylan Cantrell in the sixth-round last year, on top of signing back Geremy Davis and Artavis Scott early in free agency. With major needs on either side of the trenches plus two of their three linebacker spots, this pick makes close to zero sense.Here is what Miller had to say about the selection:Brown’s 6-foot-0, 226-pound build is more reminiscent to a fullback than that of a wide receiver who finds most of his success out of the slot. He has some of the best intangibles in the class and those hands are something else. He absolutely snatches the ball out of the air and every time he does, I can’t help but imagine him saying “mine” under his breath.My Take: In the end, I really wouldn’t mind Brown getting the chance to catch balls from Philip Rivers, but there are just too many other glaring issues across the roster.Round 2 - Pick #60: CB Joejuan Williams, VanderbiltAgain, this is another pick at a position that just doesn’t fix any immediate need. If cornerback was the right call, Williams would actually fit the mold of the taller, lengthier cornerbacks that Gus Bradley likes to enlist in his defense.At 6-foot-4 and 211 pounds Jerry Tillery Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys , Williams might have you thinking, “That’s just too dang tall for a corner” and you might be right, but you can’t argue with production in the SEC. As a junior, Williams was named a Second-Team All-SEC selection after collecting 61 tackles, two tackles-for-loss, four interceptions, and 14 pass breakups.Across from Hayward, Williams would be an extremely intimidating presence as he can minimize throwing windows and give opposing quarterbacks a little something extra to think about before pulling the trigger.My Take: Still so many more needs to fill in the first few rounds. Williams would be really cool to see in Bradley’s defense but this just isn’t the year to take a cornerback this early when the team has stated on several occasions that they like the young, developmental guys on the team already, like Michael Davis and Brandon Facyson. Plus Trevor Williams still has the opportunity to rebound from a year in Lynn’s dog house.Round 3 - Pick #92: QB Tyree Jackson, BuffaloThis is pick is very interesting Russell Okung Jerseys Stitched , given that Lynn has enjoyed working with developmental quarterbacks who have tremendous physical gifts and upside.At a true 6-foot-7 and 250 pounds, Jackson ran an alarming 4.59 forty at the combine this month. His mobility in the pocket is more than apparent but that’s not solely where he hangs his hat. With one of the largest arms in the draft, some comparing it to last year’s first round selection of the Buffalo Bills, Josh Allen, Jackson can bide time in the pocket before launching one into orbit to a receiver 65+ yards down the field.`However, the third round is far too rich for me, even with his physical gifts. If it were another round or two later, maybe.My Take: I just can’t get behind it, especially with the first two picks also going towards positions that aren’t in the top-3 of team needs.

d to take on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 16 Bobby Evans Jersey nfl draft , Rams Head Coach Sean McVay addressed his star RB Todd Gurley not practicing on Wednesday with a short but optimistic take:Spoiler alert: He did not play.So now as we begin our preparations for the final week of the regular season with the playoffs looming against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17, we’re find things in similar circumstances as Gurley was yet again a non-participant in practice to start the week:2018 LA Rams Week 17 injury reportNamePOSInjuryWed. StatusThu. StatusFri. StatusGame StatusNamePOSInjuryWed. StatusThu. StatusFri. StatusGame StatusOn Gurley’s knee this week, McVay said this yesterday:And on any potential setbacks with regard to the knee:So um...TBD.As for S Lamarcus Joyner, McVay confirmed he’s still day-to-day with the ankle. No update on EDGE Matt Longacre though who has essentially been bumped from the active roster since the trade for EDGE Dante Fowler Jr.And while reserve RB Justin Davis looks close to a return, newly signed RB C.J. Anderson’s monster performance against the Cardinals has likely cemented him as the primary backup with RB Malcolm Brown out for the rest of the year.As for the Niners, they had a much lengthier report:2018 San Francisco 49ers Week 17 injury reportNamePOSInjuryWed. StatusThu. StatusFri. StatusGame StatusNamePOSInjuryWed. StatusThu. StatusFri. StatusGame StatusWith the Niners already in 2019 preparation mode, the only real motivation for these guys is putting out some good tape for any potential free agency swings.That being said, the real headline for the injury reports this week was always going to be Just Todd Gurley.So be it. Stay tuned.Los Angeles Rams vs. Minnesota Vikings: Scouting report shows strength on strength matchups on display So far, 2018 hasn’t gone quite as Minnesota Vikings’ head coach Mike Zimmer would have hoped. On paper, the Vikings were considered perhaps the most stacked team in the NFL heading into the season. However, through their first three games the Vikings currently stand at a perfectly symmetrical record of 1-1-1.OffenseBattling through injuries Bobby Evans Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , the Vikings offensive line, once considered a team-strength, has struggled mightily. Center Pat Elflein is working his way back, and will be a major upgrade over his substitute, Brent Grimes. But the line’s struggles certainly run deeper. Last week against Buffalo, tackles Riley Reiff and Rashod Hill allowed a ridiculous 20 pressures on quarterback Kirk Cousins. Overall, according to Pro Football Focus, Cousins was pressured on 32 of his 60 dropbacks. Needless to say, it was difficult for Cousins to find a rhythm, and consequently he fumbled the ball away twice. Also of note, left tackle Reiff may not be able to play against the Rams Los Angeles Rams Jerseys Stitched , which could spell disaster for Minnesota.The lack of control up front not only hurt Cousins ability to match his Week 1 and Week 2 performances, it has also hurt the Vikings ability to run the ball. Of course, playing from behind early is the primary reason the Minnesota abandoned running the ball against Buffalo, but they were also missing starting running back Dalvin Cook. Cook, who hurt his hamstring against the Packers in Week 2, has had limited participation in practice this week, but may play against the Rams.The strength of the Minnesota offense is their passing attack, where Cousins will look to pick apart the Rams makeshift secondary with some of the best tools in the NFL: wide receivers Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs, along with tight end Kyle Rudolph. With Aqib Talib out, and Marcus Peters highly questionable for Thursday, the Rams will rely heavily on the ability of their pass rush to disrupt Cousins Bobby Evans Jersey nfl draft , as they did last week against Philip Rivers.DefenseOn defense the Vikings were one of the best units in the league last season. So far this season, they’re 10th in in yards allowed and 16th in points allowed. Despite the early drop-off, they are loaded at every level and should be a real test for the Rams high-octane offense.Nothing will come easy up the gut with big Linval Joseph and Sheldon Richardson manning the interior of the Vikings defensive line. The zone run-schemes where Todd Gurley normally feasts won’t come easy either, with speedsters at linebacker like former UCLA standouts Eric Kendricks and Anthony Barr going sideline to sideline, along with help from safety Harrison Smith. Last season the Vikings were 2nd in the league in rushing yards allowed; yet, the Vikings have given up over 100 yards per game so far, so on a short week the Rams dominant offensive line has a chance to do some serious work, and possibly control the game.The Vikings will miss the services of defensive end Everson Griffen, who is out dealing with personal issues. They will rely on their other defensive end Danielle Hunter to be able to apply some heat to Jared Goff. If Goff is able to consistently sit back in the pocket, then Minnesota’s talented corners will likely fair no better than Casey Hayward or Patrick Peterson did in the Rams’ previous two games. If his injured ankle checks out, look for Trae Waynes to try to pick up Rams deep threat Brandin Cooks Bobby Evans black jersey , leaving Xavier Rhodes to likely guard Robert Woods more often. First round cornerback Mike Hughes will also see plenty of time, as the Vikings try to slow the Rams potent triad of receivers.What might happenLook for the Rams to try to punch the Vikings in the mouth early, and reduce the Vikings to a one-dimensional offense, as Buffalo did last week. The Vikings will try to clean up their turnovers and play a cleaner game this week, but we’ll see what they look like traveling west on a short week. It’s hard to picture such a talented team falling to 1-2-1, but if the Rams can beat the hope out of them early, that’s just what they’ll be. One thing is for sure, expect the Vikings best shot with their backs against the wall.

es free-flowing Adam Joseph Duhe Jersey , capably executed offensive football, last Sunday’s game between the Jets and Dolphins was not for you.If you’re the sort of person who likes to watch a punter do his job well Larry Csonka Jersey , you likely enjoyed the game a lot more. Nine Dolphins possessions ended with a punt in a 13-6 win that saw the defense provide the only touchdown and punter Matt Haack did his best to ensure the Jets would have long fields to travel.The Jets’ best starting field position of the game was their own 25-yard line and they reached that spot off of kickoffs. Every one of Haack’s punts, which averaged 44.7 yards over the course of the afternoon Dan Marino Jersey , left the Jets starting drives at or inside their own 20-yard-line.Haack, who also held on two field goals and an extra point Bob Griese Jersey , has been named the AFC special teams player of the week as a result of that effort.

The Eagles head coach met with the media early on Wednesday as the team gets ready to hit the road for their first NFC East game of the season. The team will face the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football Josh Sweat Jerseys 2019 , and all eyes will be on whether they’ve been able to correct some of the glaring issues from the first five weeks.Doug Pederson talked about getting the team ready to go, and being sure to focus on the small details in order to improve on what they’ve done so far this season.(Doug’s a lot more fun at these early morning pressers — and smiles more.)Here’s what the head coach had to say:On the running back situationPederson echoed what Mike Groh and Carson Wentz had said on Tuesday, that the running back room will stay as Wendell Smallwood, Corey Clement and Josh Adams. He noted that Darren Sproles is getting really close to being back, but they are just making just he’s 100% before putting him back to work.Clement is 100% and full-go, and Pederson said the young back is excited for the opportunity to contribute again. It seems unlikely they don’t do anything to add some depth to the running back situation, but for now, them being happy with the guys they’ve got is the company line.He was asked if longterm they’ll need to bring someone in to replace Jay Ajayi, and Pederson admitted that it’s a possibility. He noted that Howie Roseman will see what’s out there and who is available, but in the short term they are very happy with the guys they have.The head coach went on to say if Roseman gets close to bringing someone in, he and the other coaches will do their homework on the guy — usually a veteran player with a fair amount of tape and things to read up on — and make sure he’s a fit both schematically and culturally with the group they have.Pederson was also asked how Jay Ajayi was able to go back in with a knee brace and the medical staff didn’t know he had an ACL injury. He said Ajayi is a tough kid — citing to him coming back with a back injury earlier this season too —, and when they checked him out, it didn’t appear to be a major concern.Ajayi didn’t have his MRI until Monday Black Josh Sweat Jerseys , and it wasn’t until those results came back that they knew it would be a longterm injury. Pederson couldn’t answer exactly when the injury occurred, but noted he’d have that answer soon.On offensive schemeHe was asked if he’s using fewer RPOs this season, but Pederson said no, they still try and pepper them into the game plan. He pointed out defenses are getting better at protecting against and picking them up, so they’ve resulted in fewer passes this season, but they continue to run them.Pederson was then asked how defenses have been preparing for the RPO, to which he quipped, “I can’t give that away”.He went on to explain that every year team’s evaluate what worked around the league and what didn’t. With the Eagles’ success last season, it’s no surprise that team’s focused in on how best to defend against the RPO and stop some of the special things they were doing. That also means they’ve had an entire offseason and training camp to prepare to face offenses like the Eagles. Pederson pointed to the Steelers preseason game being one of the first times they saw a team prepare for Philadelphia’s style of play. He said defenses are just getting better at defending against it, but that means they have to evolve and keep trying to improve.On play-calling lessonsPederson went on to explain a statement made in his book about how he learned about having to be more balanced following the Kansas City game last season. He noted he was a little too aggressive in that ball game and things got away from him late in the game, but it was a learning experience and that balance is something he’s still trying to work on.The head coach has continued to emphasize that getting the lead early in games is what allows for that balance offensively between the run game and passing. Which again, is something the Eagles haven’t been able to do this season.He also pointed to playing more uptempo offense last season, creating a bigger sense of urgency to get that run game established Derek Barnett Jerseys 2019 , but circled back to getting a lead early will directly affect how balanced they can and will be throughout the course of the game.On Giants prepPederson admitted that still having all the division games ahead of them makes being able to put the 2-3 start behind them, but they still have to produce and play better to even get there. He said it’s a great opportunity on Thursday to try and capture the first win on their way to win the division.The weather is not supposed to be good tomorrow night in East Rutherford, and Pederson noted that it doesn’t really affect their game plan this far ahead of the matchup. He said that the team has some experience in wet conditions after the Colts game this season, and that unless there’s some incredible rain or if it’s really windy, it shouldn’t affect their plan.Pederson has had success his first two seasons in short weeks, and the head coach said it starts with re-focusing the group quickly and getting the guys back out on the practice field and in meetings. Then, he said, it’s about the players preparing themselves physically for the quick turnaround: “re-hydration, nutrition, rest”. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Eagles coach Doug Pederson reiterated Tuesday that Carson Wentz will be the team’s starting quarterback in 2019.Wentz missed the final three games of the regular season and two playoff games because of a back injury. Nick Foles led Philadelphia to four straight wins and was 27 yards away from taking the Eagles to the NFC championship game before his final pass bounced off Alshon Jeffery’s hands and was intercepted to seal a 20-14 victory for the New Orleans Saints.“Yes, Carson is the quarterback going forward,” Pederson said at the start of his season-ending news conference.Foles filled in when Wentz tore two knee ligaments in December 2017 and led Philadelphia to its first NFL title since 1960, earning Super Bowl MVP honors in a win over New England.Howie Roseman Black Derek Barnett Jerseys , the team’s executive vice president of football operations, acknowledged it’s going to be a difficult decision.“We would love to keep Nick Foles,” Roseman said. “You talk about a guy who we drafted here and we’ve grown incredibly close with. I don’t know a team that wouldn’t want to have Nick Foles on their roster. Certainly, as we go into the substance of those discussions, we haven’t had them yet, but there is no question we love having Nick Foles as an Eagle in Philadelphia and we would love to keep him.”The Eagles must decide by mid-February if they want to exercise a $20 million option to keep Foles for 2019. But Foles could decline it and pay back $2 million to become a free agent. Philadelphia could put a franchise tag on Foles, though $23 million to $25 million is a hefty price for a backup. It’s possible the Eagles could use the franchise or transition tag to trade Foles rather than allow him to walk away for only a compensation pick.Foles said Monday having the option to become a free agent is “extremely important” to him.“It always has to be what’s best for our football team and the Philadelphia Eagles. We have to make decisions based on that,” Roseman said. “There is also a respect factor for guys that have done a lot for us and been part of it. We try to factor that in as well, but the bottom line is we have to do what’s best for our football team to help us win games going forward.”Wentz finished third in NFL MVP voting after leading the Eagles to an 11-2 record in 2017. He was 5-6 as a starter in 2018 but set career highs in passer rating and completion percentage.

w Sendejo Discount Alexander Mattison Jersey , sidelined since Week 5, will miss the rest of the season as the team placed him on injured reserve Tuesday.More Vikings coverageTop Tweets: Minnesota teams send best wishes to GophersVikings sign veteran guard KlineVikings agree to terms with kicker Dan BaileyVikings add RB depth, re-sign Ameer AbdullahFormer Vikings guard Easton agrees to four-year deal with SaintsSendejo suffered a groin injury in Minnesota’s win at Philadelphia on Oct. 7. He finishes the year with 27 tackles in five games. Last season he posted a career-high 80 tackles.Signed to a four-year contract in 2016, Sendejo has one year left on his deal. He is due to make $5.5 million in 2019, according to the website overthecap.com, but Minnesota can cut him before June 1 without suffering any dead money on its salary cap.Taking Sendejo’s place on the active roster is cornerback Craig James. An undrafted free agent out of Eastern Illinois Stitched Olisaemeka Udoh Jersey , James was in training camp with Minnesota and has been on the team’s practice squad the past six weeks.In addition, former Minnesota Gophers cornerback Jaylen Myrick was signed to the Vikings’ practice squad. Week 2 was another high scoring slate in the NFL and another week when daily fantasy sports contests were won by rostering the passing attack from just a handful of games.Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw for 300-plus yards and six touchdowns in a 42-27 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, including two scores to tight end Travis Kelce. Behind early and forced to play catch-up, Ben Roethlisberger aired it out 60 times, leading to a 450-yard performance to go along with three passing and one rushing touchdown. Wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster and TE Jesse James both cracked the 100-yard threshold and found the end zone.In total there were more than 180 fantasy points scored in the Chiefs-Steelers game. Meanwhile at Lambeau Field, Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins connected with WRs Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen for 90 combined fantasy points.Game stacks have been pivotal to winning daily tournaments this year. The Bucs-Saints shootout in Week 1 and the Chiefs-Steelers shootout for Week 2 both led to millions in prizes.Here are game stacks to target for Week 3:New Orleans at Atlanta (Over-under: 53 Olisaemeka Udoh Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , Falcons favored by 3 points)The Falcons-Saints game has the second-highest Vegas total this week. Matt Ryan and the Falcons host Drew Brees and company in a game that could make a perfect game stack opportunity with the duo of Ryan and Julio Jones plus New Orleans running back Alvin Kamara. Jones has been targeted 28 times to start the season for nearly 500 air yards, a metric that balances target volume with the depth of those targets. Jones has a 40 percent market share of the Falcons passing attack. On the flip side, Alvin Kamara gets to face a Falcons defense that funnels targets to opposing running backs and gave up 14 catches for 100-plus yards to Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey last weekend. Kamara has 18 targets through the first two weeks and is in a prime spot to make a fantasy splash if the game in Atlanta turns into a shootout. Fantasy owners who are building multiple lineups could also consider mixing in Saints WR Michael Thomas and Falcons WR Mohamed Sanu to their stacks.San Francisco at Kansas City (Over-under: 56, Chiefs favored by 6 1/2 points)While a lot of the attention will be on Patrick Mahomes this week because of his 10 TDs through two games, winning daily fantasy tournaments requires separation from the crowd.Jimmy Garoppolo is in a bounce-back spot against a Chiefs defense that has allowed more than 1,000 yards per game of total offense and given up more than 400 yards passing in back-to-back games. While the Chiefs defense should benefit from a home game at Arrowhead Minnesota Vikings Jerseys Stitched , Garoppolo is still in great position to throw for 300 yards and multiple touchdowns and will look to connect with his favorite target as Marquise Goodwin hopefully returns to the 49ers lineup. Garoppolo-Goodwin stacks can also be mixed with 49ers tight end George Kittle 鈥?who could be lower owned after disappointing players as a popular pick last week. He will return value for fantasy owners if he can even replicate half of Jesse James' stat line from last week. Chiefs players Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce and Sammy Watkins are all candidates to "bring it back" and should be inserted into your lineups to make a full-on game stack.This column was provided to The Associated Press by DailyRoto, ://dailyroto

BOSTON (AP) — efties to feel left out.Even as Los Angeles loaded its lineup with right-handed batters to face Boston lefty Chris Sale Luis Severino Jersey , Cora stayed with Andrew Benintendi and Rafael Devers against left-handed Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday night.Benintendi responded with four hits — going 3 for 3 against the three-time NL Cy Young Award winner — and three runs. Devers drove in one of them to lead the Red Sox to an 8-4 victory in a blustery Series opener.“We’re facing a guy who’s one of the best of all time. And a lot of guys didn’t have a lot of experience off of him; the first time a lot of us have faced him. Didn’t really know what to expect,” Benintendi said. “We had a good game plan. We stuck to it.”Benintendi had one four-hit performance in the regular season but had never topped two in a postseason game during his career. The 24-year-old left fielder became just the second lefty ever to have three hits against Kershaw in a game.“He hangs in there with lefties,” Cora said. “We do feel that he’s a good hitter against them. When he’s using the whole field, he becomes very dangerous.”Benintendi had an RBI single and came around to score in the first, singled again in the third and singled a third time to chase Kershaw with nobody out in the fifth before scoring to give Boston a 5-3 lead.In the seventh, Benintendi sliced a double that handcuffed charging left fielder Joc Pederson and scored on Eduardo Nunez’s pinch-hit homer.“He got lucky, too,” Cora said. “Twice, probably.”Although Kershaw is tough on everybody, he’s not that much better against lefties (who have a .195 batting average against him over his career) than righties (.211). So Cora decided to stick with left-handed regulars Benintendi and Jackie Bradley Jr., as well as Devers, who has platooned with Nunez.Leaving Nunez on the bench was a tough call for the manager, requiring a talk with the 31-year-old third baseman who had never played in the World Series before and had started against every lefty in the playoffs so far.“We felt Raffi was going to hang in there with Kershaw http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-giancarlo-stanton-jersey , and having (Nunez) on the bench, it was going to pay off,” Cora said. “So keeping him in the dugout and out of the lineup was going to probably give us a chance to win the game. And it worked out.“He was prepared. He wasn’t upset, actually, that he wasn’t playing. I told him, ‘Be ready, man. You might have a big at-bat tonight and do your thing.’ And he did.”Kershaw and Sale were both chased in the fifth inning. With righty Pedro Baez on the mound in the seventh, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts brought in lefty Alex Wood to face Devers.Cora countered with Nunez, and he hit a low breaking pitch into the first row of the Green Monster seats to give Boston an 8-4 lead.“That was the plan and we did it,” Nunez said. “I think he makes great moves. He watches a lot of video. He’s very smart. I think that he’s the reason we’re here. Because every move we make, it’s for a reason, and it’s a good reason.” Into the bears’ den go the snakes..."Bit of an interesting line-up this afternoon in Mesa, somewhere between the old and the new. Around the infield Aaron Judge Jersey , we have Christian Walker, Wilmer Flores, Jazz Chisholm and Kelby Tomlinson, while the outfield has Rob Refsnyder, Socrates Brito and Yasmany Tomas. Save Flores, about the only certs among those playing the field for an Opening Day spot, is the battery of Zack Godley and Alex Avila. But it wouldn’t surprise me if two or three of the fringey others end up making it onto the roster. Those odds will go up is Jarrod Dyson’s MRI brings bad news. Though the team seems to be downplaying the odds of that to this point, and says they’re just being cautious. However, literally as I write this:Yeah, I’m not so sure. Elsewhere, per Steve Gilbert, after Godley, the pitchers for Arizona today will be: RHP Ricky Nolasco Gleyber Torres Jersey , RHP Emilo Vargas, RHP Jimmie Sherfy, LHP Marc Rzepczynski, RHP Stefan Crichton. He also mentioned that Taylor Clarke is scheduled to start tomorrow’s game before Merrill Kelly on Thursday. The first cycle through the rotation is probably a bit early to be predictive, but it may be worth noting that Clarke gets to start, while Jon Duplantier threw in relief. However, Duplantier threw two innings, which is likely what we’ll see from Clarke today, and next time through, we may see their roles reverse. More on that tomorrow though. This is a dbacks.com webcast, so you can tune in and listen to this one.

Pronunciation: \cook\"ons Diamondbacks Farm TeamsGameday ThreadsDiamondbacks NewsDiamondbacks Game ReportsFang Food2018 Arizona Diamondbacks Reviews:#22 Mike Foltynewicz Jersey , Matt Koch.New,19commentsPronunciation: \cook\there Koch was placed into the starting rotation replacing Taijuan Walker who left his April 14th start early after complaining of elbow tightness. Walker would shortly be lost to TJ surgery. Koch’s 2nd 2018 appearance and 1st as a starter came on April 20th in San Diego. Koch managed to pitch a good game going 6 innings striking out 4 while allowing only 2 hits, one of them a solo HR, in a no decision start for Koch but a Dback’s loss. Koch again started in April on the 26th in Philly where he would record his 1st 2018 win, but watch his hit count go way up to 6 hits allowed in 6 innings pitched. The beginning of May looked as Koch was going to get knocked down a peg or two with his next two starts scheduled against a couple of big names in Kershaw and Verlander. Koch, with help from the offense, handled the Dodgers and even more so the Astros, with both of these games resulting in home field wins for the Dbacks. Here’s a fun-fact: Matt Koch became the 1st pitcher to face MVPs in consecutive starts since 1947. At this point of the season Koch is 2-0 in 4 starts. The rest of May was shaky at best for Matt Koch since clearly opposing batters have him figured out - Koch gave up a tremendous amount of hits in his last 4 starts of May going 1-3 and allowing 17 runs on 30 hits. In two of these four starts Koch could not manage to strikeout a single batter. Koch’s 1st start in June came at home against the Marlins and Koch was on fire throwing his best stuff. Maybe it was the (minors) team he was facing, either way Koch went 7 innings striking out 6, allowing 0 runs. Looking better, but not for long. Koch would go on to start 3 more games in June and the opposing teams would continue to rough him up. Similar to his end of May starts, Koch was unable to keep his hit count low and gave up 18 hits in his remaining 3 starts in June. Finally, after his final start in June, Koch was optioned back to Reno in anticipation of Shelby Miller’s return. Koch returned to the Dbacks (bullpen) in July and made two appearances http://www.bravesfanproshop.com/authentic-nick-markakis-jersey , in both he threw just 1 inning each game. Koch was once again given a starting opportunity, this time in September against Colorado after Buccholz was scratched. The Rockies pounded Koch for the entirety of the first 3 innings in that start, it was BRUTAL. The rest of the season Matt Koch would only make two more appearances, once in long relief and once more as a starter. Overall, Koch slightly exceeded my expectations as an early season replacement call-up for Walker, less so during his spot starts in September. On the bright side, Koch started 14 games in 2018 when nobody expect he would, and the Dbacks managed to win 8 of those games. Though Koch pitched less out of the pen, he proved a more reliable bullpen piece than others. Expect the 28 year old Koch to compete for a starting rotation spot in 2019, and if that falls through, a long inning relief role in the bullpen. Kevan Smith is gone, to the Angels; Farquhar, LaMarre, Scahill are free agents"The White Sox made their first real moves of the offseason on Friday Brandon McCarthy Jersey , trimming four players. The official release:A fourth player, catcher Kevan Smith, was similarly designated for assignment, but failed to pass through waivers. The Angels claimed him, and with that, the catching battle heading into 2019 appears already decided.Smith, with an average WAR (aWAR) of 0.6 in 2018 after being called up from Charlotte about one-third of the way into the season, was the odd man out entering 2019. With Welington Castillo (0.4 aWAR) entrenched as the starter and Omar Narvez (1.47 aWAR, fourth among White Sox hitters) proving an able starter or backup, Smith was ticketed to begin 2019 in Charlotte, potentially impeding the progress of top catching prospects Seby Zavala and Zack Collins. The decision to DFA Smith might also be an indication that Hahn feels Castillo is an untradeable commodity, after a poor season pockmarked by an 80-game suspension for EPO use. If Castillo (or, selling high, Narvez) is dealt without a significant catcher joining the White Sox via trade or free agency http://www.bravesfanproshop.com/authentic-nick-markakis-jersey , it forces Zavala (who finished last season in AAA) into the majors, ready or not.LaMarre was a waiver pickup from the Minnesota Twins, garnering 0.6 aWAR in just 33 games with the White Sox. That small sample size seemed to indicate that, among the young crop of outfielders who saw significant action in Chicago (Nicky Delmonico, Adam Engel, Charlie Tilson, Trayce Thompson), LaMarre provided the most productive combination of hitting, baserunning and defense. You’d hope that prior to designating LaMarre, a reasonable offer was made to sign him back up for Charlotte, dangling a promise of an Opening Day roster spot, depending on his Cactus League work.Scahill, at 31 last season, was the epitome of organizational filler Jose Ramirez Jersey , doing little of note in spring training, Charlotte, or his six games in Chicago (-0.1 aWAR). A flurry of anticipated arms pouring into Chicago via Birmingham and Charlotte isn’t quite here yet, so barring a bevy of late-offseason inkings, Scahill could well get himself a minor-league deal with the Sox, with a courtesy invite to spring training.Farquhar is the most intriguing and compelling player of the bunch, given his near-death experience last May. The White Sox rallied around Farquhar as a team during his recovery after a brain aneurysm, and invited him to throw out a rather miraculous first pitch before their June 1 game. Given Farquhar’s role as one of the ballclub’s heartbeats, it’s presumed that despite non-tendering Farquhar (who was estimated to earn $1.4 million in arbitration), the team will attempt to re-sign him as the 31-year-old attempts to make a comeback in 2019. Farquhar clocked in with a 0.0 aWAR over eight games in 2018.Each move has been noted in the template for the 2018 South Side Sox White Sox Offseason Plan Project. Note: aWAR is a straight averaging of WAR data from Baseball Prospectus, Baseball-Reference and FanGraphs.

Ralph Freso/Getty ImagesIn a widely expected move Brett Cecil Jersey , the Arizona Diamondbacks picked up the $14.5 million club option for first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, nday.Goldschmidt averaged .290 and slugged .533 while posting 33 home runs and 83 RBI in 2018. His 5.1 WAR ranked 18th among MLB position players, per FanGraphs.Picking up Goldschmidt's option was a no-brainer for Arizona. According to Spotrac, he'll be theninth-highest-paidfirst baseman in baseball along with Matt Carpenter next season. Goldschmidt's salary is a bargain relative to his production.The big question is whether the Diamondbacks look to cash in on Goldschmidt's trade value before he hits free agency in 2020.After notching 93 victories and reaching the National League Division Series in 2017, Arizona went 82-80 in 2018. The team finished 9.5 games back of the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers and 8.5 games out of the last wild-card spot.The franchise may be trending downward next year, especially considering it could lose A.J. Pollock and Patrick Corbin as free agents this winter.In September, general manager Mike Hazen didn't say one way or the other whether the Diamondbacks might start tearing down their roster this offseason, perNick Piecoroof theArizona Republic:"I don't have an answer for that right now.There's obviously a myriad of avenues and realities that we're going to talk through. We have a solid core of talent on this team and for the majority of the season we've been in first place. We're going to start [in] the next few weeks to really [assess] where we stand. I think that will dictate what happens next."Even though he's entering the final year of his contract, trading Goldschmidt would likely mean receiving a top prospect or two to get a rebuild underway.Of course, the Diamondbacks could trigger a long-term rebuilding plan and re-sign Goldschmidt anyway, using him as a veteran leader much like how the Cincinnati Reds lean on Joey Votto. Piecoro speculated Goldschmidt might prefer to stay in Arizona rather than leave for a bigger market.Locking Goldschmidt in for 2019 was the easy part for Hazen and the Diamondbacks front office. The hard part is deciding what to do next. Will the hometown 2B stay consistent another year, or will his luck run out?"Fast FactsSecond baseman28 years oldBorn in Cincinnati.Real name is Ryan. I will not tell you the story about how he got the name Scooter. Truly, we have all heard it enough.Better at baseball than you or any of your friends.Organizational historySelected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 16th round of the 2009 draft.Claimed off waivers by the Cincinnati Reds before the 2017 season.Settled for a $9.8 million salary in arbitration.Will be eligible for free agency following the 2019 season.Career statsScouting reportSource: FanGraphsKen Gif-y Jr.ProjectionsOutlookLast Friday http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-marcell-ozuna-jersey , I wrote about Luis Castillo, and talked a lot about how we’re entering the 2019 season wondering the same things about him that we did a year ago. We’re still wondering if this is the year he develops into an ace, if the ultra-bright flashes of promise he’s shown in the past can manifest themselves over the course of a full season, and cement his presence at the top of Cincinnati’s rotation for years to come.Oddly enough, we’re also entering Scooter Gennett’s 2019 with the same questions we had last year. In his case, however, it isn’t a question of whether or not he can break out — it’s a question of whether he can continue to produce in the same way he has over the past two seasons.in just the 21st percentile of all major league hitters, his hard hit percentage was in the 25th percentile, and his xwOBA was in the 37th percentile.In 2017, the difference between his actual slugging percentage and his expected slugging percentage was the fourth-highest in baseball, according to Statcast. In 2018, it was the ninth-highest. For two years, the results produced by the balls he puts in play have been far greater than what hitters with similar contact data tend to experience. Three seasons ago Michael Wacha Jersey , Gennett had an average exit velocity of 86.7 miles per hour, a 7 percent walk rate, and a wRC+ of 92. Last season, he had an exit velocity of 86.7 miles per hour, a 6.6 percent walk rate, and a wRC+ of 125. Obviously, those are just two stats out of many one can turn to to qualify a hitter’s season, but the basic story they tell is that Gennett his the ball precisely as hard now as he did before he joined the Reds, walks roughly as often, and has somehow gone from a below-average hitter to one of baseball’s best.Is that transformation here to stay? I don’t think we’re ready to answer that yet, and apparently, the Reds aren’t either. As has recently been discussed, Gennett has been open about wanting a contract extension that would keep him with his hometown team beyond 2019 Ozzie Smith Jersey , when his current deal expires. Cincinnati allegedly hasn’t responded with an offer, a clear indication that they’re not ready to buy into Gennett’s longterm viability just yet. The Reds haven’t traded him, either, even when doing so would open a spot in the lineup for the organization’s top prospect, which could be taken to mean they haven’t gotten any offers for him, but could also mean the team still sees Gennett as someone who can be an important contributor in the coming season.Gennett’s luck might run out in 2019. This might be the year that his numbers finally begin to match up with the peripherals, and that someone who has comfortably fit in as a middle of the order hitter over the last two seasons may fall near the bottom of a lineup that projects as one of the most potent in the National League. His defensive shortcomings could resurface, his walk rate could remain frighteningly stagnant, and he might regress quickly.On the other hand, maybe this is just who Gennett is. Maybe he’s one of those players who manage to routinely outperform his talent level. Maybe he’ll put together another .300 batting average with 25 homers, and make a real compelling case to anyone in search of a second baseman in next year’s free agency period. Maybe Gennett’s been showing us his true self all along, just waiting for us to believe him.

k Mets to blow it up.If that wasn't apparent before James McCann Jersey , it is now. The Mets entered play Wednesday scraping the basement of the National League East.They've got a decent chance to finish with the worst record in the Senior Circuit, if "decent" is the right word.Then came the news that slugging outfielder and offensive cog Yoenis Cespedes was lost for the season to heel surgery. Both heels, in fact, which will sideline Cespedes for a minimum of 8-10 months, per Mike Puma of the New York Post."It's possible it will be longer than that, but it probably won't be shorter than that," assistant general manager John Ricco told reporters.Cespedes inked a four-year, $110 million contract with the Mets prior to the 2017 campaign. At the time, it was a bold move by a franchise looking to reascend the October stage. Today, it's an unmitigated albatross and a payroll fail that should spark a full-scale, everything-must-go sell-off.The Mets won the NL pennant in 2015 and grabbed a wild-card berth in 2016. Backed by their stable of stud pitchers and an offense fronted by Cespedes, they were a rising force in the National League.Now, with the Cuban masher shelved indefinitely, New York must mash the reset button.Does that mean dealing aces Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard? Yes, it does. Or, at the very least, it means genuinely considering the notion.Rich Schultz/Getty ImagesBalk all you want http://www.tigersfanproshop.com/authentic-joe-jimenez-jersey , Queens faithful. If the Mets wish to restock a farm system Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter ranked No. 28 in the game, they need to dangle their shiniest pieces.DeGrom is in the midst of a Cy Young Award-caliber season, with an MLB-leading 1.71 ERA and 159 strikeouts in 131.1 innings. The 30-year-old would net an absurd haul of prospects from multiple pitching-hungry contenders.We could name-drop the Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Brewers, New York Yankees, etc. Really, though, it would be easier to list the buyers that wouldn't benefit from deGrom's services.Syndergaard, meanwhile, is a mixed bag that contains a handful of winning lottery tickets. The 25-year-old has battled injuries dating back to last season and has made only 13 starts in 2018. On the other hand, the bolt-tossing righty owns a 2.89 ERA with 83 strikeouts in 74.2 frames and a 2.57 FIP.Injury concerns trail Thor, despite his demigod reputation. He's presently sidelined with hand, foot and mouth disease.Assuming buyers aren't spooked by his seemingly bottomless list of maladies, Syndergaard is a deadline difference-maker, as is deGrom.Either of the Mets' aces could shift the balance of power wherever they settle. Painful as it would be for New York to decimate a rotation that got it to the doorstep of a title, this is reality.The Baltimore Orioles secured a sparkling package from the Los Angeles Dodgers for a few months of Manny Machado. DeGrom is controllable through 2020 and Syndergaard through 2021. Imagine what riches each might yield.The Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies are blossoming ahead of schedule. The Washington Nationals are scrambling for a final gasp in the waning days of the Bryce Harper era. The NL East is crowded to the point of bursting. New York must decide: cash in now or play the chumps.The Mets already dealt reliever Jeurys Familia to the Oakland Athletics. Infielder Asdrubal Cabrera should soon follow, among others.DeGrom and Syndergaard are more complex calls.Jim McIsaac/Getty Images"We'll have to consider [it] Sparky Anderson Jersey ," Ricco said, per Newsday's Tim Healey. "For me, everything has to be on the table. But you have to look long and hard before you move a game-changing, top-of-the-rotation pitcher."That's undeniably true. When it comes to deGromandSyndergaard, the Mets should hold out for gaudy packages highlighted by can't-miss prospects. Anything less and the Amazins ought to spit at the mere notion.At the same time, the Mets should thoughtfully mull this eventuality.It's time for them to blow it up.It's time for them to make a move.If that wasn't apparent before, it is now. All statistics current as of Wednesday and courtesy of Baseball Reference. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers bolstered their bullpen on Friday, acquiring right-hander Ryan Madson from the Washington Nationals for a minor league pitcher.The five-time defending NL West champions have Kenley Jansen as their closer, but he’s been shaky since coming off the disabled list, allowing seven earned runs in four innings over four appearances.Madson was 5-5 with five saves and a 4.08 ERA in 69 games for Washington. The 38-year-old recently came off the DL after being sidelined by nerve irritation that caused pain in his neck and back.“Feels like a fresh start, especially to a year I’ve struggled a little bit,” Madson said as he was leaving Nationals Park. “Now none of that matters. All that matters is from this point forward and helping that team win games. That’s it.”Madson, who helped Philadelphia and Kansas City win World Series titles, was acquired by the Nationals with fellow reliever Sean Doolittle from Oakland in July 2017.“Just push the ball to Kenley and that sort of reminds me of old times with (Brad) Lidge. Just push the ball to Lidge and we win,” Madson said of his time with the Phillies. “So, push the ball to Kenley and we win.”For his career, Madson is 61-48 with a 3.45 ERA and 91 saves.“What he’s done is proven Jack Morris Jersey , pitched in big spots,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “We’re betting on the stuff and the person.”After joining the Nationals last July, Madson went 3-0 with a 1.37 ERA and one save in 20 games as Washington captured its second straight NL East title.“It was a huge jolt to my career last year, coming into the playoff push and kind of revitalizing … actually showed myself what I can do,” Madson said. “My stuff got so much better and so I really appreciate them bringing me over here.”Los Angeles (72-62) began the day two games behind Arizona in the NL West and 2½ games back in the wild-card chase.Roberts said Madson would arrive in Los Angeles on Friday night and be activated on Saturday.“Just to have another leverage arm is good for all of us,” Roberts said. “He’s a guy who throughout his career has actually gotten lefties out better than righties, so to have him at any point we want to play him, that’s a good thing.”Washington, which unloaded second baseman Daniel Murphy and first baseman Matt Adams on Aug. 21, received right-handed pitcher Andrew Istler from the Dodgers. Istler, 25, went 4-4 with a 2.37 ERA in 41 games (one start) between three levels of Los Angeles’ minor league system.Additionally, the Nationals recalled left-handed pitcher Sammy Solis from Triple-A Syracuse.To make room on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers designated left-handed pitcher Adam Liberatore for assignment.Washington (67-67), the two-time defending NL East champion, entered Friday 7½ games behind first-place Atlanta and 7½ back in the wild card.

ndians won Corey Kluber’s Opening Day starts in 2017 and 2018 http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-evan-longoria-jersey , it wasn’t because of a rousing offensive performance. They scored a combined five runs in those two wins and only won because Kluber dominated the weak White Sox and Royals lineups. Kluber did the same today, holding the Twins to just two runs, but the offense couldn’t even put up a little bit of their bargain. Instead of two runs like they put up against Chris Sale on Opening Day 2017, the new-look Tribe lineup put up just two hits against potential breakout pitcher Jose Berrios. One, a fourth-inning double from Leonys Martin, and a single from Brad Miller in the eighth after after the Twins already scored a pair of runs and looked like they sealed game away. Miller’s hit barely made it over the glove of the Twins infield, but it was hit 97.5 miles per hour, which is an encouraging sign for Miller, and likely one of the reasons the Indians took a flyer on him with time winding down in spring training. Unfortunately, he and everyone else forgot how to make contact. Miller had a pair of strikeouts, just a fraction of the 13 whiffs by Indians batters today. Tyler Naquin was by far the worst offender, having struck out in each of his three at-bats and looking competent on not a single pitch. His first at-bat? Strikeout on three pitches. His second at-bat? Strikeout on three pitchers. He managed to take it to a full count in his final at-bat of the game, but swung on a pitch that couldn’t have been any further from the plate.Not to belabor the point too much, but Berrios was so deep in his head, and he dominated the rest of the lineup as well. The offense looked very reminiscent of early-2018 when they were doing nothing but popping up or striking out. Today they struck out 13 times and flied out 10 times — 23 of their allotted 27 outs.No one got hurt, though http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-evan-longoria-jersey , and there are still 161 more games to go. And Francisco Lindor will be back eventually. We can all cling to those truths while we wait for Jose Ramirez and everyone else to warm up literally and figuratively. On the mound, Kluber showed signs that he might be more on par with his performance last year than the pure strikeout machine of year’s past. He held Twins batters hitless through five innings, but relied mostly on weak hits over swings and misses, of which he only had 13. His four-seamer also averaged 92.2 miles per hour and peaked at 92.7, right in line with his approach on the mound last season. Still, it’s hard to argue with carrying a perfect game into the fifth inning and no-hitter into a sixth, especially against a lineup that’s supposed to shock people like the Twins. In other important news, the Indians sported their new block lettering navy away jerseys today and they looked great, even if they were a little on the Red Sox-y side. I may never get over the giant guitar on the sleeve, though a few runs here and there will help numb the cringe. It’s confusing at first, but it’s actually a simple system worth knowing"Even if you’re the most casual sports fan this side of the Golden State Warriors, you’ve probably heard that a baseball player has been optioned before. Maybe you knew what it meant, or maybe you just nodded your head and hoped no one would ask you how the Indians could option Shawn Armstrong 37 times in a single season.Well, fret not, for options are actually a pretty straightforward process, and after this quick overview you’ll be able to impress all your friends about your knowledge of how these little buggers actually work.The official definition from MLB is a pretty good place to start in understanding options. Essentially Willie McCovey Jersey , options are set up to allow a team to send a player on their 40-man roster to the minors and call him up worry free, while at the same time prohibiting them from abusing the process for several seasons and just stashing players in Triple-A. One of the most important things to know about options is that, when you hear someone say a player “has options left,” what they really mean is they have option years left. Using my only slightly exaggerated Shawn Armstrong example above, the Indians optioned the poor guy eight times in 2017 alone, in what was his final option year. He was optioned just twice in 2015 and five times in 2016, but they all count the same. Armstrong became very familiar with I-71 between Columbus and Cleveland because he had three full option years when he debuted in 2015. When he was optioned twice in his rookie season, that still only used one of his option years. Same goes for the five in 2016, and the eight trips to Columbus in 2017. If the Indians had held onto Armstrong and gave him another shot to stop walking everyone under the sun in 2018, they would have had to send him through waivers every single time he burned out his arm. That would have made him vulnerable to another team placing a claim on him and either receiving him outright from the Indians or working out a trade if the Indians don’t pull him back off waivers. He could possibly have cleared waivers in 2018, but a reliever with as much strikeout potential as Armstrong had (and still has), means it’s very unlikely he would have gone unclaimed for very long. He was traded in the offseason to the Mariners, instead. Options are an important factor this time of year because it often times determines which player will make a roster out of spring training if two choices are pretty similar. For example, if Player A has a lower ceiling than Player B, but Player A has an option year left while Player B is on the edge of needing more work in Triple-A, Player A will probably start the season in the majors Mel Ott Jersey , just because he has more flexibility. Player-A can fail terribly and still be optioned no problem in May, while Player B would be either stuck on the major-league roster and failing, or the team would run the risk of losing him in a waiver claim. Some other caveats, from FanGraphs’ own explainer, which is also worth a read: That’s all that’s to it. It sounds stupid simple, because it really is. Until recently, the only hard thing about options was finding out who actually had one. MLB doesn’t track it publicly anywhere and it’s not even on FanGraphs or Baseball-Reference pages for players. It was basically a guessing game and trying to paste together past transactions to find out who could still be sent down. But now we have Roster Resource, which is a great resource. For rosters. It breaks down just about everything you could want to know about the Indians or any other team. For the purpose of this post, and for anyone who has struggled in the past to keep track of options, the best thing is in fact it’s option tracking. According to Roster Resource’s numbers, here are some notable players who have an option year left and how many they have left as of March 12, 2019, sorted by position.
