    Duran isn't an All Star. They should have traded that headcase after '24. Roman isn't healthy and has been mismanaged by the medical staff. Marcelo wasn't ready last season and still isn't ready now. He should have been left in AAA last year. Story healthy? Are the Sox trying to win the lottery two years in a row? He's also not a good enough bat to make a difference.

    In the playoffs, teams need to hit HR's to get through the playoffs. That's the general theory going around these days. High OBP, low HR teams like MIL can have good regular seasons, but won't find success in the playoffs as they will struggle against tougher pitching. This team is absolutely pathetic at home and pathetic at hitting home runs. I don't think they have any chance at a ring this season.
  3. mvp 78
    They should be off the fence, just like the Red Sox. GB in the expanded WC system is meaningless IMO.
  4. mvp 78
    No Crochet. No Anthony. Those are two big contributors that would really impact any postseason run.

    I want a team that is in the contention for a WS, not the playoffs. It's a big distinction. Even if they sneak into the back end of the WC, it doesn't really do anything for me. I don't think they can run the table against good pitching because the bats will have to show up. Half of the lineup carry toothpicks. Do people really think a lineup with Seigler leading off can win a WS? Even the bullpen is really lackluster to me. This team swept the NYY who are below .500 team without Judge IMO. They also beat the Angels (yuck) and the White Sox without seeing great pitching (I'm looking at you Reid Detmers!). A nice little run, but I'm not taking much from it TBH. The end of July will tell me more about this club (TB/BAL/TOR/ATH/LAD).

    They can play baseball, but they can't win unless they are hitting HR's IMO.

    "You see, trading Duran after '24 will be a bad idea. He'll still have many great seasons left. He's the motor to our offese." "No, you can't trade Duran after '25, you won't get the right value for him. It would be a terrible decision to replace him." "Look, Duran has no trade value in '26 anymore, you just have to hold onto him!" "DFA Duran in '27? It's better to just keep him as the 5th OFer and hope he can turn it around and hit above 600 again."
  8. mvp 78
    Which is a terrible premise. If you are forced into those three decisions, how can you call yourself a CBO?
  9. mvp 78
    Good enough to win most games in the regular season.
  10. mvp 78
    Almost like they needed to add another bat prior to the season?
  11. mvp 78
    Sale 2.42 ERA, 34-14, 398 IP, 502 K Harrison 3.01 ERA, 8-2, 83 IP, 101 K Drohan 2.97 ERA, 4-2, 63 IP, 61 K Meidroth has 1.8 bWAR this season FWIW. That's better than what we've thrown out there at 2b or SS. Not sure what the point is to pile on Perales since he's working his way back from TJS.
  12. mvp 78
    Repo Man has a great soundtrack. Watched that a ton when I was in high school. Probably have on seen Mulholland Drive once. Don't really remember it.
  13. mvp 78
    Teams shouldn't be falling for the GB of WC nonsense, especially in the AL. If you're hovering at .500 or worse. You are not a team worth investing in. Why spend on a team that would just get SMOKED in the playoffs? Bad business!
  14. mvp 78
    Yeah, he wouldn't end up at -82 DRS. Defensive metrics are horrible in small sample sizes.
  15. mvp 78
    The Padres are a .500 ballclub. They should be selling. They are NOT good.
  16. mvp 78
  17. mvp 78
    It's no different than the fantasy worlds where the Sox acquire Zach Neto or even Bobby Witt for crying out loud.

    "We want two bats. One of them is going to be the guy that was already on the roster last season, who I didn't really want in the first place. Does that sound like a great plan to you media folks?" I think that's the direct quote from Breslow's presser.
  19. mvp 78
    1. French 2. Budget under $1M 3. Talking inanimate objects I'm in.
  20. mvp 78
    Duran is NOT a DUDE. In a few years, he's going to a be a "remember that guy" when you go back and look at Sox prior seasons. Ceddanne has a 112 wRC+ and 8 HR. That's NOT a DUDE. He's a good defensive player, but not a guy that should be hitting at the top of the order.
  21. mvp 78
    Then the Sox should have made alternate plans. I wasn't a huge Breggie guy to begin with. Alonso/Contreras isn't about what Breslow would have done, but about what they SHOULD HAVE DONE.
  22. mvp 78
    I already said the others would be moved if you read above. 👨‍🦯
  23. mvp 78
    I wanted Duran traded for prospects. I would have DFA'd Masa myself. C'mon man. I've been talking about moving those two guys for forever. Not every post I make has to be 500 words long.
  24. mvp 78
    Contreras 1b Alonso DH
  25. mvp 78
    He wasn't an injury replacement, he was up here when Wong and Narvaez were healthy. He was taking their catcher reps. He wasn't just filling in at 2b.
