    Some people struggle at reading comprehension. Must be a boomer thing!
  2. mvp 78
    Sure, but this has nothing to do with players having to play 3 different positions and fielding your team with 13 platoon players.
  3. mvp 78
    It's ok to say Campbell was just rushed to MLB and wasn't quite ready.
  4. mvp 78
    There is such a thing as being confidently wrong. That's you.
  5. mvp 78
    That's my worry with him. One day, it'll just stop being the same. I think with Paredes, you know what you got if you throw him at 3b. With Suarez, it could get worse.
  6. mvp 78
    You don't want to have to deal with platoon splits. You want guys that can hit RHP/LHP equally and can go 162. If you have a bench bat, fine. The preference is towards starters that can hit RHP and LHP. Breslow has said as much.
  7. mvp 78
    No.

    I'd hold my nose at a Suarez signing and hope it's for only 2 years. I think he'd be my plan D, but it's fine. I think it's better than running out a Romy/DHam platoon at 2b.
  9. mvp 78
    I think Breslow had been working on trades for a while. Henry got to the point where he was like "I'll eat salary, just get it done."

    If it changes yearly, how do you know what teams will do this year?
  11. mvp 78
    Not everything you don't like is a boomer idea. Especially since you're like 40 anyway.
  12. mvp 78
    Yeah, the idea that MLB is now rolling guys through the DH spot just isn't reality. Most teams aren't doing that.
  13. mvp 78
    That's not until after the team has already reported to camp I believe. At that point, the roster should have already been manufactured.
  14. mvp 78
    If Breslow were able to, he'd field a starting lineup of 162 guys that didn't move off position. It's just CHEAPER to find platoon bats that can play mediocre defense at multiple positions.
  15. mvp 78
    TalkSox posters don't really know what can be done with Masa. Maybe he can be sent to WOO with one of his options? It'd be silly to have him and Casas there taking up 40 man spots without a long term plan though. With suspected an OF trade would clear up roster issues for a few offseasons now. Haven't seen one materialize yet.
  16. mvp 78
    The actual theory is that something happened at the KC meeting between Devers and JH which caused JH to decide Devers needed to go.

    It was said that a lot of the Japanese contracts had language that they players were able to refuse being sent to AAA even though Masa has options. We don't know what his contract says for sure. I'm more confident in Masa providing value than Hicks. He's lost a little velo the past few years and still has no idea where it's going. Breslow got rid of all the other high bb guys. Time to move on from Hicks. If they traded Kelly now, just to see what Hicks looked like in ST, it's not the worst idea in the world.
  19. mvp 78
    With those types of ideas, Breslow would really be on the fast train out of town.
  20. mvp 78
    Once they had to start paying off that contract, Raffy had to go!
  21. mvp 78
    If Duran isn't traded, will we hear about a mysterious injury that Masa has at the start of the season?
  22. mvp 78
  23. mvp 78
    How about this guy: 2.8 bWAR/162 over his career 8 DRS '25 at 2b 8 DRS '24 at 2b
  24. mvp 78
    If Masa is only DHing 100 AB's, DFA him today.
  25. mvp 78
    I don't think Paredes is a defensive whizz, but he's more likely to plateau at below average than see his skills absolutely crater due to age in the near future.
