[Captain 97]

Kade Anderson is sitting at a 1.06 ERA with 93.1 Innings pitched. I was curious how that ranks historically so I turned to AI. AI is not super reliable but here is what it came up with for lowest ERA in the history of the minors minimum 100 innings pitched.

1. Justin Verlander 2005 - 1.29 ERA in 118.2 Innings, A+,AA
2. Bill Wegman 1983 - 1.30 ERA in 186.2 Innings, A
3. Cole hamels 2003 - 1.34 ERA 101 innings, A, A+
4. Jon Duplantier 2017 - 1.39 ERA 136 innings A,A+
5. Lou Lucier 1941 - 1.39 ERA 247 innings, C = to Low A today
6. Blake Snell 2015 - 1.41 ERA 134 Innings, A+, AA, AAA
7. Jonah Tong 2025 - 1.43 ERA 113.2 Innings, AA, AAA
8. Garland Shifflett 1967 - 1.45 ERA 124 innings, AA
9. David Parkinson 2018 - 1.45 ERA 124.1 Innings, A-, A+
10. Madison Bumgarner 2008 - 1.46 ERA 141.2 Innings, A

So basically Kade is on pace to have the lowest ERA in the history of minor league baseball for a minimum 100 innings pitched.

Its unreal but the genius nerds still say Sloan is better because he is bigger. lol

Would it be that shocking to see all 4 of Arroyo, Kade, Laz & Rodden on the opening day roster. Shit throw in Sloan at this rate.

I would love it. Sure beats Trading for or signing the scrubs that usually turns Jerry on

Where does Arroyo play? LF or infield. Could he slide into SS and move Colt to 3B. His bat should be in the lineup in my opinion. Are you reengaging teams in Kirby trade talk & who should be the target? Any chance TB dangles Caminero if we offered Kirby +. Shit I'd be willing to throw in a lot for that that dude. Kirby, Arroyo, anything outside of Kade & Sloan basically? DT what you think? Shit give them both Hancock & Kirby + Arroyo. Cost controlled pitching plus Arroyo. How far you willing to go to make that deal happen? Don't forget Rodden can always slide into 3B if need be given how he's performed thus far. Not as crazy as you think especially with both pitchers. Could Rodden play SS or maybe move Young over to SS possibly. I know I'm probably crazy for even thinking it but still fun to think about. If not Caminero then who for Kirby and what position?

I agree. You're crazy.

There was nobody worth Kirby at the deadline. I suppose there might be this off season but there is going to be a lockout so nothing's going to happen.
