December 13, 20187 yr I never have studied baseball antalytics, but I did see this stat that I found interesting. rWAR, 2018 Castillo 1.6 Harvey 0.7 Disco 0.4 Romano -0.7 Bailey -1.5 Mahle 0.1 Roark 3.4 He gives up a lot of fly balls, particularly more to lefties and doesn’t miss a lot of bats. I’m starting to talk myself out of him.
December 13, 20187 yr Roark is ok. On the Reds, you could make a case he is the best starting pitcher on their roster.
December 13, 20187 yr Reds get Tanner Roark from Nationals for Tyler Rainey. Didn’t get much, but didn’t give up much. One of the most durable starting pitchers in the game. Not a bad option at the back of the rotation or in the pen if need be. He’s an innings eater. If he can limit his BBs, he should be a solid back end addition. Back of the rotation? He had almost the exact same ERA last season as the Reds #1 starter. His ERA was better than every Reds starter save Castillo and his FIP was better than them all. Until, and unless, the Reds make a big move he's their #2.

Where he may end up in the Reds rotation doesn't change the fact that he's a back-end starter. That's where his talent slots.

Just because he'd be near the top of the Reds current rotation doesn't change the fact he's a #4 or 5 starter. Thus one of the reasons he was available for just Rainey.
December 13, 20187 yr Homer, Tucker, Vladimir Gutiérrez for Puig and Wood. - Would sure be interesting.
December 13, 20187 yr He gives up a lot of fly balls, particularly more to lefties and doesn’t miss a lot of bats. I’m starting to talk myself out of him. If he limits his walks he could have a similar impact to what Arroyo gave them. At this point they for sure need a guy like that. Still many pieces away but a solid addition.
December 13, 20187 yr Homer, Tucker, Vladimir Gutiérrez for Puig and Wood. - Would sure be interesting. Where did you see that one? I know they were talking to the Dodgers, but hadn't seen Tucker mentioned in the deal.
December 13, 20187 yr Where did you see that one? I know they were talking to the Dodgers, but hadn't seen Tucker mentioned in the deal. Leather pants said that's the rumored deal on twitter.
December 13, 20187 yr Homer, Tucker, Vladimir Gutiérrez for Puig and Wood. - Would sure be interesting. I think I love that deal from the Reds perspective. Wood would be their best starter. If they could add another arm via free agency, they'd have a solid rotation with him, the FA signing, Castillo, Roarke, and Disco (I assume). Trading Tucker would make me believe they're in a good position to acquire Realmuto.
December 13, 20187 yr If he limits his walks he could have a similar impact to what Arroyo gave them. At this point they for sure need a guy like that. Still many pieces away but a solid addition. The high flyball rate to lefties, could make the moon-deck interesting this summer.
December 13, 20187 yr Twitter has been a pretty comical place to be since the Realmuto and Barnhart talk started. I always love the fans that hang onto a solid year or two and think they know more about the situation than the guys paid the big bucks to do it (even though sometimes we might). Bottom line, Realmuto is one of the best in the game. Barnhart is a great defensive catcher, but Realmuto would be an all around improvement. The one gripe we've all had with this team is the lack of attempts at improvement. If you want to be a contender you look and listen to all possibilities of improving your team, even if you have a gold glove fan favorite at a position already. If you can pull Realmuto to Cincy without breaking the prospect bank and then spin Barnhart to LA (who needs a catcher badly) for Puig and Wood, you absolutely do it! Wood is an upgrade in the rotation and adding Puig to play in the small CF at GABP is an upgrade as well. Realmuto and Puig added to this lineup is great too. Yes the Reds were good offensively, but two more solid bats provide that much more protection for Suarez and Votto, things a lot of fans never think about. It also allows Winker to go back to what he is most comfortable with which is being a high batting average and below average power hitter. The other thing I love about all the talk is Realmuto is only controlled 2 more years, and Puig and Wood are only through this year. Why do I love that? It means the Reds would be going after right now. No more farting around talking about potential and next year, not to mention I think you have a real chance of locking up Realmuto and Puig longterm. Puig will love hitting at GABP and Realmuto could see the win now mentality in Cincy and the trust in building a revamped pitching staff around him. Edited December 13, 20187 yr by ChickenWyngz
