Verdugo and Downs have been disappointments this year.
-
If it's only 13, Mayer probably wants 1st pick money and Fabian wants 1st round money.
-
In 2019, there were 47 relievers with an fWAR of 1.0 or more. There were 335 relievers that pitched more than 20 innings that year. A true "average reliever" would be about 0.2 fWAR. I would say that an fWAR of 1 makes you a good to very good reliever as teams would likely only have 1 or 2 of those guys. Only 9 guys had fWAR's that were "very good" according to your scale. So, 2 great players. 7 good to very good players. 28 average to above average players. 288 below average to scrub players.

July 15: Boston (ERod) @ New York (TBD)

It was closed last year by mods when people couldn't control themselves. -
Where'd you adjust it?
-
Is it really a platoon with Dalbec and Duran? Dalbec plays vs LHP, Kiké plays against RHP Duran plays vs RHP, Kiké plays against LHP Kiké is the everyday guy who just switches between CF/1B?
-
Pederson has been terrible this year.
-
And neither does your argument that Barnes wasn't "very good" even though he's top 21 in the league over the course of a 3 year period, which is top 10% in all of baseball for that position.
-
No, you didn't. You said any player with less than 2 fWAR was a "scrub." How many relievers get above 2 fWAR?
-
What are you talking about? He didn't even get on base!!
-
These *******s couldn't even beat the lowly Yankees last night... No hits again...
-
I'd keep Chavis in lieu of Cordero. Chavis you can stash on the bench and can play LF/1B/2B/3B. Cordero needs the AB's and he plays LF/1B (kinda).

Yes, that was my point. This isn't a place for political rants about COVID. We couldn't be adults last year, so we shouldn't start up again this year. -

IDK. I'm planning on getting Taco Bell for lunch. If it comes out too quickly, I'm also going to blame that damned COVID! -
No, I'm just saying we don't really know how whether or not he makes these types of moves. He hasn't been in this position before. He's on a competing team with the luxury of a high payroll. We don't know if he believes he can use some of his farm to push a playoff contender forward. I don't think he will this year, but we can't say for sure.
-
He also said "prime" Gaetti who was fantastic in 86 and 88. If he played like that for 10 straight years, maybe there'd be a discussion.
-
We all understand the premise.
-
He does, but I don't think he wants to give them up.
-
We don't really know that.
-
What about 2000 BOSOX legend Gary Gaetti?
-
And you're going to knock his 852 career OPS in the World Series? Also, how many gold gloves did Mariano win? 4 less than Gaetti? Rivera played in only 36 innings in the World Series, Gaetti played in 63. 63 is bigger than 36!
-
Who are you to doubt Gaetti's ability to close out a game?
-
Not at this point. Rosters don't expand again. He gets called up if there's an injury or if Duran struggles. Don't see where he'd get AB's and that's what he needs this year.
-
No, Barnes big change is first pitch strikes, not rpms.
-
That’s why I doubt he’d be at 2b, especially when they’ve had massive questions at that position the past few years.
