    Each field plays very small as if every game is played like it's at Coors. The other problem is that pitchers have less control of their pitches in AZ this time of the year. Pitches with break with go right back into the zone. For guys coming of the IL (Perales and Neely), it's a tall task to just get through an inning at times. Stanley Tucker had a nice stretch. Perales looked good at times. Wish I had seen more out of Garcia. I think that's my only take away TBH. Neely pitches with a lot of fire and should be fun to watch next season.

    I like Schwarber. I wish they would have added him before '22. The move just doesn't work with how the roster is currently created and the payroll issues they have.

    That's who teams were calling for at the deadline. Maybe it was due to health? I think if teams were calling for Abreu, he would have been gone last offseason.

    NYY were 3rd at 304M. TOR was 5th at 255M. I think the argument to be made is that they should at or near the TOR level of 250M+. If they are still below 10th place again, the Sox are no longer a serious franchise.

    I don't think DET is scouting via messageboards, Twitter and radio callers. If they are, Breslow could score a coup.

    I don't believe Arias is blocked by Mayer as Mayer could 3B/SS and Arias could play SS/2B. Arias won't be ready until late 27 most likely, so there isn't much overlap with Story. If they deal Mayer this offseason, it's one more hole Breslow has to fill and it would probably be with a contract much larger than Mayer's. I think the FO would rather keep Mayer, but who knows.

    All reports are that Abreu is the least desired OFer by other teams behind Duran and Rafaela.

    No.

    The secondaries just need a lot of time to mature. He's only had one year to be a professional and in college he was a one pitch pitcher. If he was in AAA through July, I wouldn't be concerned. Let him get two average secondaries and he'll be fine.

    5 of Ward's HR's were at MiLB stadiums. He had 15 HR's in LAA, but only carried a 666 OPS there (188 BA, 270 OBP, 396 SLG)! Not sure he's going to have a great time in BAL.

    Ward has 6.1 less fWAR than Duran over the past 3 years and is a FA after this season. Duran is a better player and controllable for 3 more years.

    Try new glasses. I have some rose tinted ones you can borrow.

    I could see Tolle starting at AAA and Early at MLB, but Tolle being above Early in the depth chart by year end.

    No political posts please.

    In 2019, they weren't waiting for the next core, they just had a WS hangover. They punted on 2020 after the Mookie trade. They made it to the ALCS in 2021, which is better than mediocre. Last year, the team was better than mediocre. You could argue 3 years of mediocrity maybe? From 22-24, they were in the holding pattern of not knowing if they were a competitive team or a rebuilding team. I think those were the mediocre years.
  17. mvp 78
    I think they stick around because of the 3 option years.
  18. mvp 78
    The rule is you can't carry more than 13 pitchers. You could carry 10 pitchers and 16 hitters if you wanted.
  19. mvp 78
    I only looked into bb rate once I checked Bernie's statcast. Then I looked at the leader page on FanGraphs and Brezzz cleared the deck of the walk leaders.
  20. mvp 78
    Zero chance. Why protect them from the Rule 5 draft to DFA them later?
  21. mvp 78
    I think he's the guy to go because he has the most value. Per reports, teams were calling about him and Rafaela, more than they were about Abreu. Maybe due to health, maybe not?
  22. mvp 78
    Also, they may not need Duran, but his value is high enough that they could spin him in a separate deal this offseason or at the deadline if they wanted to.
  23. mvp 78
    moon loves the potpourri deals.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ojr-_L3IHc4 Remember, this isn't an error! It's why we can ignore errors as the sole determination of a player's value at a position.
  25. mvp 78
    Once Gray is out of options, he either has value or doesn't. He's either Romy 2.0 or out of the org.
