    Hope you were thirsty.

    Trot Nixon is GOATed.
  3. mvp 78
    No, but I am the Real Deal.
  4. mvp 78
    Well I didn't go to an Ivy like some people.
  5. mvp 78
    Saving CBT room for extensions and a reliever maybe? That's my only guess.
  6. mvp 78
    You'd have Mayer skip AAA after his injury issues, but start Campbell and Anthony in AAA this year?
  7. mvp 78
    Grichuk is not a good OFer. He hits LHP well, but that's what Ref does. Laureano is a better fielder, but isn't a great platoon guy IMO. Once Anthony is added, one of these guys is going to get dropped from the roster. I think there's value in keeping Abreu around long term. I think I'd probably not add anyone and just know that Anthony is going to get a spot either on Opening Day or in June for Super Two status. Masa being DH only really makes a mess of this whole situation.

    They acquired Duvall at the end of January. There's 6 weeks until pitchers and catchers report. I think there's time for the roster to shake out a bit. If we follow the rules set by this post and there aren't any more adds, I'm not sure I'm super concerned. I'd be mostly concerned about the catching situation honestly.
  9. mvp 78
    I believe you've mentioned this before. Trade makes sense. I don't know what their long term plan is at Catcher. Maybe Breslow just doesn't believe he needs to focus there?

    He was looking at the Canadian conversion rate for 736 OPS. Thought it was only 510 US OPS.
  11. mvp 78
    Oh, but he only OPS'd 624 in AUG and 774 in Sept. He couldn't possibly be good going forward!
  12. mvp 78
    Jarren Duran?
  13. mvp 78
    Story can get over 1 fWAR. I have him getting to 4, but in this scenario I just need to be a bit over 1. Even if Casas isn't crushing it from day one, if he replicates 2023, he'll be WAY over 810 OPS.
  14. mvp 78
    Having that many platoon options for guys that can only play DH/OF seems like a big drain on the bench IMO.
  15. mvp 78
    For past results, (i.e. the year that just ended) it should be what actually happened or bWAR. If we want to project going forward, it should be what should (could?) have happened or fWAR.
  16. mvp 78
    Last year, of Tyler O'Neill's 473 PA's, only 156 were against LHP. Almost 2/3's of his PA's were against RHP where he had a 693 OPS. Forgive me if I don't get too worked up over it.
  17. mvp 78
    🧛‍♂️⚰️
  18. mvp 78
    I was told by someone here that if Sale stuck around another year that he wouldn't have been any good. 🤷‍♀️
  19. mvp 78
    I didn't because I have some self respect.
  20. mvp 78
    Casas under 810? Story at 1 fWAR? Devers at 849? (Hasn't been that low for a full season since 2018) Duran at 3 fWAR if he plays 150 games? Abreu under 750 OPS? (MLB career low projection?) I'm smashing the over on all of those. Those projections are light AF.
  21. mvp 78
    I think there are a lot of "promising" things about the club, but we've been given a lot of "promising" things that haven't worked out the past few years. Ownership needs skin in the game IMO. Right now, Henry is an absentee owner who has complained more about the Dodgers and Mets spending than about small market owners that don't have long term stadium plans and barely spend their revenue sharing. From the outside looking in, it gives the appearance that HE doesn't want to spend.
  22. mvp 78
    Soccer/Football goalies too.
  23. mvp 78
    He makes public statements, but is constrained in what he can say. He can't go out and say "I want to trade Casas, Yoshida, Abreu and these other 5 guys." If those trades don't go through, those players will be pretty pissed for a while. Fans want clarity and insight, but they aren't really entitled to it at all times. It's fair for them to say "spend more" but not to be upset at Breslow if he isn't putting the dirty laundry out there the way Sam/Cora did with the Bregman situation initially.
  24. mvp 78
    But other teams can use the deferred contract trick and have revenue sources of their own. Even the smaller market teams are being funded by the larger market teams and their tv deals to some respect.
  25. mvp 78
    I'm not a Grissom believer, but I agree with this post.
