    We're not always right, but we were definitely right then. Were right before he signed with KC too. Not sure why they didn't like him?
  2. mvp 78
    Truly? Teddy Ballgame had a 921 OPS vs LHP in '39. He wasn't going to be platooned after that.

    If Rafaela just stopped swinging at sliders 2 ft out of the zone, it'd improve his chase rate. Does that fundamentally change his approach? Seems like it's a question of pitch recognition instead.

    Lucky to get a good 2 weeks!

    Abreu's seemed egregious to me. Next offseason, I don't want to hear much about ZiPS. It has as much value as BTV. It can be a fun little tool, but it's not an argument in and of itself.

    Alcala didn't clear waivers, claimed by Bloom and the Cardinals.
  7. mvp 78
    Should be replacing Buehler or May at some point.

    It's fair to complain about the chase rate. That's one of the clearest paths to bringing the offense back to earth. Right now, they are really relying on good pitching. If those arms tire or take a step back, the offense has work to do.

    MN didn't want Duran or Abreu. They didn't seriously consider trading Ryan to begin with.

    Jackson Merrill signed for 9/135. Wander signed for 11/182. I think Roman would have rather taken this deal than gone for 15/240 with escalators. Not sure where the 100M comes from anyway.
  11. mvp 78
    He seemed to be a good buy low option though, especially that first offseason when nobody had signed him and it was already ST.
  12. mvp 78
    Wacha was NOT healthy or have that reputation after '22.
  13. mvp 78
    I just thought the ZiPS projections were pretty bad for the a few of the Sox and it seems that they were a little to conservative.
  14. mvp 78
    No, I think May sucks and hated the trade when it was made. I don't think Breslow and Bailey think that though.
  15. mvp 78
    I'm pretty sure most posters remember the past three years and don't have to be reminded every single bad play in every single game thread.
  16. mvp 78
    Not sure what any of this has to do with the ZiPS projections telling us that the Sox were supposed to be very bad this year and the Mariners very good?
  17. mvp 78
    No msn articles, please. I don't think Breslow and Bailey look at May and expect success on day 1.
  18. mvp 78
    I don't think they'll be moving Masa.
  19. mvp 78
    Seems like the Mariners were hoping to acquire a fulltime 2b rather than the hodgepodge they are running out there this season? This doesn't mean it would have been a good trade.
  20. mvp 78
    I love having to do the work for everyone around here! It's like constant fetch quests for the grumpiest middle aged dorks around.
  21. mvp 78
    Wilyer and Jarren have already surpassed their dumb ZiPS projections for 2025.
  22. mvp 78
    Technically, they DID compete for a playoff spot in '22, '23 and '24, but just failed down the stretch. Competing doesn't mean you get in every year, right?
  23. mvp 78
    I'm sorry.
  24. mvp 78
    Hamilton for Luis Castillo last offseason. Breslow declined. End of story. This comes from people who talk to FO guys.
  25. mvp 78
    I think they have an idea of an extension amount they'd sign him for today (the Campbell extension or less because of health concerns), but it's lower than Mayer would take.
