    No more Bloom guys. We're out on Bloom guys.
  2. mvp 78
    We've all earned some coal in our stockings for not rooting hard enough apparently.

    From what I've seen/heard, Breslow wants to be aggressive but is being held back by the higher ups. Wasn't hiring Theo supposed to break down that barrier?
  4. mvp 78
    He's going to want too many years. If you could get him for 3, I'd be all over it.
  5. mvp 78
    Two of the guys I mentioned, Grandal and Diaz, are still available. Sox were known to have interest in James McCann who is still available as well. They could also corner the market on Narvaezes and sign Omar Narvaez, Carlos' cousin.

    Sox were in the top tier at one point. Too bad, so sad.

    The last time I saw a breakout like this, it was called hives and my dog needed antibiotics and steroids.

    Luzardo wasn't good last year. Manaea was always going back to the Mets. The only fish that matter are Burnes and Walker.
  9. mvp 78
    Nope. They got Austin Adams though.
  10. mvp 78
    If they get 50 innings out of him this year, I’ll be surprised. Sandoval was simply a move for 2026.
  11. mvp 78
    Damn… The Dollop did a great podcast series on him if anyone wants some more background than they already know.
  12. mvp 78
    I feel nothing anymore.
  13. mvp 78
    I'd have him in between Paez and Mullins.
  14. mvp 78
    Rumor is he's holding out for a trade to LAD.
  15. mvp 78
    Yeah, they were way too high on Castro. He was a guy that never really put it together on the field. At least Bleis has the five tools you can dream on to be overrated. Reyes is intriguing, but I want to see a guy play stateside before I really push them too high. Hard to judge him on 17 innings against a lot of guys who will never make it over here. I think he's top 20, but wouldn't strap a rocket to him yet.

    What's the hindsight picks? The only adjustments I made was to not make any future moves for RF (JBJ, Renfroe) where Betts would be playing.
  17. mvp 78
    I'll tell you after the player turns it around! No, I've been high on Early since he was drafted. He's now at 14th so that's fine with me. They went waaaay too low on Romero due to injury and had to bump him back up, but he looks ok now. Valera is where Perales was in his development a few years ago. They are a little light on him IMO. He'll get pushed up this season. Paez doesn't miss any bats and had a 1.39 HR/9 in GRE (higher than his walk rate). He's about right. I want him to be better, but his velo isn't there. Narvaez initiated this conversation so I believe they are light on him. Maybe they just don't value a backup catcher? He was projected to have the same fWAR as Connor Wong in 2025. Interesting to me that they have Conrad Cason 16th and Brandon Neely 32nd. Over the short term, Neely is going to perform really well and I think Cason may take a while to develop.

    I don't need to handpick the best signings. Just keep Betts and dump half of Price. Don't re-sign Porcello. Don't re-sign Kimbrel. 2020 becomes a wash, but they can dump players to get under the cap once Sale and ERod go down. Make the same moves in 2021 except you don't need to sign Renfroe. Make the same moves in 2022 except they don't need to trade for JBJ. Both those years get better with Mookie.
  19. mvp 78
    Nate had 19, COVID, 21, 22 Pivetta had 21, 22, 23, 24 C'mon man!
  20. mvp 78
    I don't think the juggling was THAT serious. They just put saving $ at the forefront for several years. But good sir, they went over the CBT in '22 by 50 cents! Don't care.
  21. mvp 78
    Yeah, he had a head start.
  22. mvp 78
    Because when they get a trade wrong, it's never because of their model! It's always because of something else! FTA: But that means sometimes there’s a lag between what the numbers are and what they should be, had they been updated sooner. A young prospect with helium may be traded in December, let’s say, and the trade might look a little off because our numbers are still reflecting the previous update on a prospect (or two) that was involved in it. But then, the new numbers might come out in January, and at that point the trade looks a lot closer. In other words, the gap was caused by a time lag, not an issue with our model. Enjoy playing with their toy. Just don't give it more credence than Old Red yammering at the dive bar down the street.
  23. mvp 78
    I think Mookie would have looked really good on this team in 2021!
  24. mvp 78
    It's not about keeping the entire team intact, it's about keeping your franchise player around for the remainder of his career. If you have to move on from other guys because of that, fine.
  25. mvp 78
    With Scott, it shows that they don't believe in long contracts for relievers. If Scott was going to sign for 3 years, he'd be here by now IMO.
