  1. Yes, because we don't blindly follow the lamestream media narrative like you. Duh. We all think for ourselves on here and disagree with each other all the time, but somehow your perception is that we're the outside the norm and weird and love Bloom even though we complain about the Sox all the time.
  2. Tatis Jr: -9 Career DRS and currently being moved off SS
  3. How it's done is to expect Abreu to keep that 350 BABIP going...
  4. Is that Contreras?
  5. So they sign Contreras instead of Bogey to wait on the younger SS to make it. If the younger guys don't pan out? If Raffy leaves next offseason? I'm not into it.
  6. If the goal is to stay under the cap, I think there are higher priorities than filling C. They don't have anyone close enough in the org that is ready to take over as a cheap option long term at C, but I just think SS, Corner OF and SP are much higher priorities. Would the signing prevent them from filling the other needs or extending Raffy? IDK. Aside from 2021, his DRS numbers aren't impressive and his framing isn't very good.
  7. Andrus had 3.5 fWAR last year. It was his highest wRC+ since 2017 though.
  8. 2019: 203M 2022: 195M Just a trim please.
  9. They were already kicking the tires on Heaney and he's going to be over 10...
  10. 1. Because it should be easy to replace a starting pitcher who had a 5.50 ERA even if it's with a guy with a different name on the back of the jersey. The contract coming off the books should be a benefit, no? 2. You mentioned "what Bloom was handed" and I'm sure COVID is outside that scope.
  11. I think a lot of fans are easily riled up by whatever poisoned tripe the mainstream sports media wants to feed them today. Hard pass.
  12. It's hard to complain about "budget constraints" for a team that can go over the luxury tax threshold all willy nilly.
  13. It's not a good season by any stretch, but it's not the end of the world some people have made it out to be.
  14. 78 wins isn't the end of the world, Spanky.
  15. And that's the real issue at play. For better or worse, he'll be the one to take the blame even if he really doesn't make all the calls.
  16. BTV Minor Overpay Alert: Paxton Berti Bleday Cabrera Soler Stallings Well, I think Bloom should do it even if it is an overpay.
  17. I think that's why there isn't a realistic chance they sign 2 SP's.
  18. Plus a lack of critical thinking skills.
  19. Pythagoras had them as an 87 win team in 2019. That includes Eovaldi's 6 ERA and Porcellos 5.5 ERA, two items that could easily be better the next season.
  20. It's the last place finish while going over the luxury tax threshold and letting your franchise SS walk out the door just a few years after the future HOF RFer was shipped to LA because he was too expensive even though the cost to take your family to a game is 2 car payments.
  21. What budget constraints? They went over the luxury tax threshold last season.
  22. Is he healthy?
  23. It's not that these guys "jumped" it's that they weren't even in the system as they were just drafted.
  24. Abreu's drop makes sense as he's played worse since coming here. OPS AA Corpus Christi 858 AA Portland 784 AFL Scottsdale 479
  25. You were the big Seabold proponent last season. If his "stuff" comes back to 2020 levels, he's a top 10 prospect. I think he's high just because he has starter upside. He's behind a guy like Murphy as he's lost a lot of luster, but there's still an outside shot of him doing something.
