  1. It was down 3 mph from his peak in 2018. It's not just his FB though. All of his pitches have turned to slop. The lack of break on his offspeed pitches is cranking up that barrel % and launch angle.
  2. Bloom has been fine. We don't know the reasons why he couldn't go over the cap this year. I don't see how anyone could disagree that the pitching staff needs work.
  3. Sale vs Valdez Rematch from game 1 where both pitchers only went 2.2.
  4. I agree. The Astros keep running out their relievers in the 2nd and 3rd innings. They are just delaying the inevitable implosion and need to win tonight. Sox are still playing with house money. Astros had higher expectations. They have already lost Springer, their core group may continue to shrink each subsequent offseason.
  5. Sox win tonight and split in HOU. That's all they have to do. Both teams are very capable of huge innings.
  6. Davis and Robles weren't good enough acquisitions at the deadline?
  7. It's 55 and Renfroe is wearing a beanie. He started off April really slow. Maybe he doesn't like the cold.
  8. Pablo just had visions of Lil' Debbie.
  9. I get that. I still think a 50 is too high for 4 years.
  10. Dalbec can't hit the heat. Greinke doesn't have heat. I thought it would have been a good chance to put him in there.
  11. Schwarber 1B, Hernández CF, Devers 3B, Bogaerts SS, Verdugo LF, Martinez DH, Renfroe RF, Vázquez C, Arroyo 2B
  12. Little did they know that all they had to do was call up Shaw and then wait for Moncada or Devers to develop.
  13. Sounds better if you do this: NYM get: Bogaerts/Seabold BOS get: Alonso/McNeill/Megill
  14. I guess? He'll be 28 with about 300 innings in his career at 4 fWAR. Houk had a higher fWAR this year than Valdez and he's younger with MORE years of control and a smaller BTV value.
  15. No. Yorke might not be very likely to do it, but I don't think Jimenez even makes the Show.
  16. That 50 on Valdez just seems high to me. He'll be 28 next year and he's still not a sure thing.
  17. PEDRO Baez? Framber doesn't move the needle for me. Yuck.
  18. Jarren Duran will not get to 30 fWAR in his career. He'll never have a season like Ellsbury did in 2013.
  19. None of them, that's why it's a best case scenario. Casas probably has the best chance to reach the projected ceiling. Of the 10, Jimenez has the worst chance.
  20. I think it was a move pushed by Werner's stupid Cosby Show brain to help sell Panda hats and get "stars" for his newest tv show.
  21. Yes, I didn't just want to go through and do a what if. Abreu was a need. There were no 1b's ready in the pipeline and Napoli was going to be out sooner than later. Max was the clear cut best FA SP in those years and didn't come with some of the Price questions. Zobrist would have been a great, cheap plug and play guy. Deals like Panda and Hanley just rarely work out. Panda wasn't a consistent producer and his weight forced him out of SF. Hanley was just not consistently healthy and he turned into a pumpkin at age 30. He was set to be a mega star at age 25, but it didn't turn out that way.
  22. I don't think Baez is going to cost nearly as much as Semien. Theoretically, I think they could sign Baez and Schwarber and still have enough for Xander and Devers going forward. You would just be unable to get FA acquisitions at any other offensive position.
  23. It should have been Abreu in 2013, Max in 2014, Zobrist in 2015. Those 3 moves would have prevented some disasters later on.
  24. It was a very bad offseason to want to spend. The only contracts that were worth it in the long run were Max, Lester and Nelson Cruz.
