Quick Hits: Rockies, Pint, Mackanin, Sherriff

By Anthony Franco | October 25, 2020 at 2:07pm CDT

Some notes from around the league:

  • One key decision for the Rockies this offseason is whether to add Riley Pint to the 40-man roster, observes Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post. Selected fourth overall in the 2016 draft out of a Kansas high school, Pint must either be added to the 40-man or exposed to the Rule 5 draft this winter. The 22-year-old (23 in November) has been undone by strike-throwing issues ever since draft day. In parts of four minor-league seasons, none above Low-A, Pint has managed only a 5.71 ERA across 156 innings thanks to an alarming 7.2 BB/9. However, Rockies assistant GM Zach Wilson points out (via Saunders) that Pint still has the high-octane stuff that made him so well-regarded as an amateur and has made strides mentally and mechanically.
  • The Phillies informed a handful of staffers their contracts weren’t being renewed in recent days, reports Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Among those let go was former Phils manager Pete Mackanin, who had been with the organization as a special assistant to general manager Matt Klentak (who himself stepped down from that position earlier this month). The 69-year-old Mackanin took over the managerial chair in Philadelphia in the middle of 2015, a title he’d hold until he was reassigned to the special assistant role after the 2017 season.
  • Rays reliever Ryan Sherriff worked his way back from a 2018 Tommy John surgery to appear on Tampa Bay’s World Series roster. This season marked his first big league action since a 2017-18 stint with the Cardinals, as Sherriff discusses with Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Released by St. Louis in August 2018, two months after undergoing surgery, Sherriff concedes he was frustrated with the way things ended. In light of his success with the Rays, Sherriff now considers his Cardinals release the “best thing that ever happened to me.” A grievance filed in 2018 against the St. Louis organization for back pay and MLB service time related to the date of Sherriff’s injury is still pending, Goold reports.

    There is no reason for the Rockies to add Pint to the roster. Guy had an 8 ERA in low-A in 19. Im not closing the door on his potential because we’ve seen crazier things, but for this R5, it would be a mistake

      Yep. His delivery was awful even in HS. The Rockies never tried to fix it. I think someone would take him rule 5. He could develop into a relief pitcher. He has a long way to go. Mechanics need a lot of work.

    Once the Rays claim him in Rule 5, he’ll be closing for them by July. ;). The Rockies are the worst at developing arms. Even the good arms they bring in blow up, only to recover again when they leave.

    Rockies scouting is terrible. Had a bust at #3 overall in 2015 and #4 in 2016.

          Is that when your label becomes official as well?

    I hope Pint is unprotected just because I want to see him play for his hometown team, the Royals.

    Pint has a ton of talent, but hasn’t even had a cup of coffee in the high minors.

      Well, of course not – one typically drinks a Pint of beer, not coffee. 🙂

    I hope Ryan sheriff has a great career outside of STL. Mozeliak is not a good GM for the cardinals and the more talent he trades away to succeed elsewhere, the faster we get him out of there.

      I hope Sherriff can marshal his talent. If not he could be shot.

    The question the Rockies should be asking, do we trade everyone who has trade value and rebuild?

      Agreed, except one thing, this is the first time they have a very good set of 4 starters. I hate to waste that.

    If the Rockies put him on the 40 man he will be a bust. If they let him go to Rule 5, he will become a star. That is how it works for Boy Wonder Bridich.
