  1. Contreras is better than Pete Alonso. He'll have more WAR than him by the EOY.
  2. Contreras: 20+ HR's 6 seasons >20 HR 4 seasons (includes COVID and partial rookie year) 162 Game Avg 26 HR
  3. He was a C for most of his career which ate into his power. He was a fulltime 1b for the first time last season and hit 20 HR in a terrible HR park.
  4. 1. The team never seems to show up ready or prepared. 2. The team has no clue how to handle the ABS system. 3. The team has been bad defensively for years. 4. The team has had a bad approach at the plate for years. 5. The team doesn't seem to play well from behind.
  5. I gave Cora the benefit of the doubt through many rough seasons. Last year, he didn't show up with his best self and really wasn't able to handle the internal drama (and was a large part of it). Since this team is already tilting a bit from the get go, seems that he no longer has anyone's ear.
  6. Such a team leader that they've had to bench their starting catcher (a notable hard worker), in the second series of the year.
  7. From Mike Andrews: Notable Fallers Hayden Mullins from 15 to 24 Miguel Bleis from 16 to 33 Yoeilin Cespedes from 17 to 34 Johanfran Garcia from 23 to 51 Yophery Rodriguez from 37 to 55 I haven't heard much about Mullins falling off, but I can see it from the other 4 unfortunately. YRod hasn't been impressive at all. The knee injury was an awful setback for Garcia. Bleis just never reached his potential. Cespedes was a DH from day one and maxed out physically so was always ranked too high.
  8. I have to agree with them dropping Bleis and Cespedes out of the top 30. System looks pretty weak overall which is how a steadier guy like Castro has risen in the rankings. Aside from the pitchers at the top, there isn't a lot to get excited about.
  9. My guess is Paez is slotted in right behind Bastardo.
  10. Cora started the season by tying his shoes together. Not sure why he trusted Story to be the starting SS batting 2nd. Yuck.
  11. They'll be better. We just don't know how much better. The ceiling could be lower than we had initially hoped.
  12. They should have just started the year by moving Story to 2b and Mayer to SS. The defense would have improved immensely. Cora just can't possibly have that conversation with one of his players though.
  13. Contreras isn't a below average hitter.
  14. 18M is platoon DH money for this team. That's nothing.
  15. Are you trying to knock the Brewers? They've been to the playoffs 7 of the last 8 seasons. They are a great team.
  16. I think the hitting will turn it around. I think the pitching is better than this. I think it has been the same coaching since 2019 (aside from pitching). It's time to move on from the whole group.
  17. 1990 NE Patriots vs 2026 Boston Red Sox Which one is worse?
  18. The only way the Sox could get back into this game is if they were allowed to score a touchdown.
  19. The idea of winning with pitching and defense was going to be really threading that needle when pitching at Fenway. Maybe Breslow thought they were moving home ballparks?
  20. When the team is bad, you still get to watch the MiLB teams though.
