    He had 453 PA's last year as a fulltime player. I think he'll see a bit of a reduction from that.

    Schaeffer was in line to be my "worst" but then I remembered how horrible Grebeck was and had to search for him. Somehow I had overlooked him in my original run through. Gaetti was toast in ST. He looked like a beer league softball player, but that's about it. He was terrible in 300+ PA's as a 40 year old. No idea why they brought him in the following year.

    Alex Gonzalez erasure.

    I feel like it got a little better over the course of the season. I've heard that Casas is much better at 1b, so Dalbec's future is mainly as a DH and occasional 1b/3b.
  5. mvp 78
    We can count on him to strike out and hit the ball a long way when he actually connects. I think his career will have a lot of ups and downs as that is a pretty streaky profile.
  6. mvp 78
    The worst guy who had 2 PA's in the 80's would probably start for the team when they were the Boston Americans.

    Same profile as a guy like Mickey Pina, I think.
  8. mvp 78
    Renteria was overpaid, but still had a 1.8 fWAR.
  9. mvp 78
    I think he needs to go to AAA and figure out his swing. He made way too many swing adjustments at MLB and was all over the place. Pick one swing and stick with it.
  10. mvp 78
    I don't remember him at all.
  11. mvp 78
    Problem with Gutierrez is that his backups were Glenn Hoffman and Ed Jurak who were even worse. They didn't have a viable in house SS until Jody Reed in 1988.
  12. mvp 78
    Sullivan was still in A ball when Fisk went to the bad Sox. He didn't get double digit MLB PA's until 1985.
  13. mvp 78
    I don't remember this guy at all. He OPS'd 1.110 in the GCL in 52 games. Not bad! Then he sucked for Lowell and was mediocre after that. December 16, 2002: the Boston Red Sox sent Josh Thigpen (minors) and Tony Blanco to the Cincinnati Reds to complete an earlier deal made on December 12, 2002. December 12, 2002: The Boston Red Sox sent players to be named later to the Cincinnati Reds for Todd Walker. Seems like the Sox got the better end of the deal.

    A depth of soul isn't "don't talk bad about a player because his friends or family may come across this post."

    2018: 1.6 fWAR 2019: 2.0 fWAR 2021: 1.8 fWAR I think he met expectations. Things like RBI are just indicative of the batters around him. Padres were 28th and 27th in runs in 2018 and 2019. If he had better hitters in front of him, he would have had more RBI. Therefore, I think he played about as well in 2021 as he did in 2018 and 2019.

    I don't like the deal either. I guess putting JBJ in CF and Kiké at 2b is basically just replacing Arroyo? Maybe they do a platoon where JBJ plays CF against RHP and Arroyo plays 2b against LHP (Kiké floats between the two positions)? If I was constructing the OF: Verdugo LF Kiké CF Other RHB RF (preferably Suzuki)
  17. mvp 78
    I think Pivetta greatly exceeded expectations, probably more so than Renfroe or Kiké. He's probably our 3rd starter this year.
  18. mvp 78
    I think Kiké will spend a lot of time between CF and 2b, but primarily CF. JBJ is the 4th OFer IMO.
  19. mvp 78
    If Verdugo can repeat his 2020 performance. If Kiké can repeat his 2021 performance. If Eovaldi can stay healthy. If Sale can get his stuff back. If Casas can crank through AAA and take over at 1b... There's always a lot of ifs. However, I think we can say for sure that Arroyo can't stay healthy. Seems to be an impossibility.
  20. mvp 78
    We were waiting for another shoe to drop last offseason, but it never fell. I hope this year's OF isn't such a question mark.
  21. mvp 78
    It's weird. At what point can we no longer talk about a player's performance on here? If JD k's looking, should we all just post "better luck next time"? What ever high horse happened over the weekend needs to be brought behind the barn and shot.
  22. mvp 78
    Henry Owens?
  23. mvp 78
    Yuck.
  24. mvp 78
    Me. I made the thread.
  25. mvp 78
    The context is that I made this thread.
