    From 21 to 22, the CBT went up 20M.
  2. mvp 78
    I just don't buy the rumor that he'll be that far below the CBT. 20M? Maybe. 40? I doubt it!
  3. mvp 78
    At 19M? I can think of a few cheaper ways.
  4. mvp 78
    This guy might be a DUDE next year.
  5. mvp 78
    If that's the case, they wouldn't have signed Giolito.
  6. mvp 78
    Moving Abreu to 1b wastes his defense. Right now, he's a platoon bat. You'd almost turn him into Enmanuel Valdez.
  7. mvp 78
    Casas is still preARB next year. His first year is '26.
  8. mvp 78
    What's the point in being that far under the budget? It doesn't make sense to me if they are trying to sell us on next year. If they went 20M under and signed a few one year deals, it'd make more sense.

    My fiscal year ends on 9/30 and it is budget season. I'll leave it for the moon man.

    He had an 802 OPS from 5/19/22 - end of season. Aside from that, he's been pretty bad.

    Just for reference:
  12. mvp 78
    LOL random?

    They had a great pitching staff that year. Valdez, Javier and Verlander all had ERA's below 3. He was Javier's personal caddie and Javier was on a great run. He would also come in and be a relief catcher around the 7th inning and their pen included Pressly, Montero, Abreu and Stanek who all had great seasons. HOU was 2nd in reliever fWAR in '22.

    I just need some garlic and a wooden stake. I'll take care of all of this.🧛‍♂️

    Nobody was asking for Rafaela in a trade in 2019, but I agree with the overall point.
  16. mvp 78
    The Astros would have won the WS even if they didn't trade for Vazquez. After Dusty was handed him, he pushed back and didn't want to use him that much. Valdez has been ok, but really is just a platoon DH. Not that much value there. Abreu has been fantastic and should provide loads of value for the next 5 years. He's the reason this trade is a slam dunk. Vaz was on an expiring deal and the Sox weren't going to re-sign him. It's what they should have done with JD, Eovaldi and others.

    I think they can still sign guys, but I wouldn't go crazy with one year contract guys. If there is a good long term contract guy that will help you in 26, 27 and 28 it'd be dumb to let that guy go by just because you may not be good enough in 25. That doesn't mean that's the road JH goes down though. 😩
  18. mvp 78
    Even if they aren't kicking the can down the road, I don't think the players will be quite ready. All the pieces won't be in place yet IMO. They still need to deal with roadblocks like Story and Yoshida as well and that will take longer than one offseason.
  19. mvp 78
    Rafaela got a $10,000 signing bonus. In 2019, he was hitting 754 in the GCL. There's a 95%+ chance DD had no idea who Rafaela was by the time he was fired.
  20. mvp 78
    Story has looked hopeless in the batters box for the majority of the time he has been in Boston.
  21. mvp 78
    He's ready. He will always chase. He will rarely take a BB. He has the 2nd longest streak w/o a BB (99 PA's) in MLB right now. His defense was the calling card. It's why he's here. His athleticism is why he's able to put the ball in play so often. None of this is a surprise to people who were following him the past few years.
  22. mvp 78
    Maybe less time behind the plate will keep his OPS even higher? I know there was always talk of UTIL Wong while he was in MiLB after coming over from the Doyers. If Campbell is producing well enough to stick, I'd let him be the fulltime guy though as he has no split issues and is very athletic.
  23. mvp 78
    He was before my time. Tito is the best manager of my lifetime IMO. Morgan Magic was cool, but fleeting. Hobson did so much blow that he ended up being uncool.
  24. mvp 78
    Wait until he gets some professional AB's.
  25. mvp 78
    Geoff Pontes from BA thinks a good spot for Romero going forward could be 3B. His power seems to be more of a carrying tool than previously expected.
