    Kiké was selling jerseys in 2021. He was top 10 before the year started and well out of the top 20 by the end of the season. I don't think he's still selling jerseys now.

    I'd give Bloom a pass for everything up through 2022 since those were technically guys picked by a previous GM. Now, this is Chaim's team. Aside from Sale, these are all his guys. He can hide one bad contract and build a team. If he can't work around one dead contract, he needs to find a different job.

    Henry is only 73, so we can't blame it on senility. Maybe he's lost his fastball though...
  4. mvp 78
    Prior to 2020, when had Henry dumped players in their prime like Mookie Betts? He is currently not running this organization the same way it once was. No way.
  5. mvp 78
    Right now, it just seems to be a platoon? I agree though. McGuire is "supposed to be" a good defensive catcher.
  6. mvp 78
    Mondesi is fine IF YOU AREN'T RELYING ON HIM TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL INNINGS. Right now, Josh Taylor is in AAA with a 6.75 AAA, so the trade makes sense. The issue is that they still needed another SS option that could be available to actually play.
  7. mvp 78
    Horrid. The real curse was that they didn't trade his ass sooner!
  8. mvp 78
    They wanted him to work on pitch recognition this offseason and it hasn't gotten any better. He just might be who it is and it may never get better. If that's the case, just call him up and let him be a GG defender with a bad bat. Or trade him while his value is high?
  9. mvp 78
    Why else would you trade a player unless he SUCKED?
  10. mvp 78
    He played a bit of SS in Spring Training. He should have been playing SS in AAA if they really saw him as the first man up.

    It's hard to split out the blame pie, but I think the coaching needs to be talked about more. We beat up on the players and Bloom, but it's not just how Cora sets up the lineup... What has Dave Bush done to keep his job. This pitching staff has been downright horrible. What Brasier did on Opening Day was embarrassing. It showed a complete lack of foresight by the coaching staff. What pitchers have exceeded their expectations? Whitlock didn't become a better pitcher because of Bush, but because Andriese taught him a new changeup grip. Winckowski's stuff has "played up" in the pen this year as some people projected it would last season. Hard to put that on Bush. Every other pitcher is either pitching to their level or further below it. Hitting wise, the players have sucked. Defense wise, the players have sucked. Part of that is roster construction, but part of that is how they have been coached day in and day out and series to series. If they fired each coach on the MLB squad, who would we be worried about losing?

    I was rounding down!

    The Nats traded Juan Soto because of how terrible he was.
  14. mvp 78
    You can provide a foundation for future seasons, without putting garbage on the field in the meantime.
  15. mvp 78
    You RAILED against VAZ for years about him being a bad catcher by comparing his CERA against other Sox catchers. He goes to HOU and MN and all of a sudden he's a CERA superstar? Do you see the problem here?
  16. mvp 78
    In order: 1. Henry 40% owns the checkbook, he set the initial limitations the put them on the downward spiral 2. Bloom 30% no plan up the middle or for starting rotation, messed up trading deadline last season 3. Coaching 20% got caught with pants down in O's series, fire Dave Bush, players do not seem prepared ever 4. Players 9% small sample size, but you still at least have to show up and compete 5. Youk 1% he's terrible
  17. mvp 78
    No, because CERA is a nonsense stat and the sample size is extraordinarily small anyway.
  18. mvp 78
    IDK, I just don't see it with Murphy. Why was he protected on the 40 man? No way is he better than Thaddeus Ward.
  19. mvp 78
    Lawsuit if an overserved patron kills someone. Get that cash tho.
  20. mvp 78
    To be fair, he mentioned letting JBJ and Vaz go, not letting Betts and Bogey go. There's a big difference between keeping those tiers of players. I've been out on Henry ever since they let Mookie go. Not extending Bogey after 2021 was a HUGE mistake. If the FO has a plan, it's not obvious what it is.
  21. mvp 78
    If the worst thing they did was leave Devers hitting 3rd, I think everything would be fine. That's basically shopping for a new house and complaining about the color of the bathroom walls.
  22. mvp 78
    It's why I was flabbergasted when I saw it in Spring Training. It made little sense then. RF? LF? Ok. SS? No. Bloom just had no clue on how to fill the gaping holes up the middle. Starting rotation? What's that?
  23. mvp 78
    You see, there's a budget he has to manage to, PLUS we don't want to have worry about another cliff!
  24. mvp 78
    It makes no sense to trade Devers AFTER signing him to the big contract. He has way less trade value now.
  25. mvp 78
    I didn't say he was a good CFer. His injury wasn't caused by him playing out of position though.
