    Thank god. If you get called up, I will start betting heavily AGAINST whatever team you play for. No offense.

    474 winning % (Marlins at 460, Padres at 465, Rockies at 464) 11,279 losses (#1) 2 WS (Rockies, Padres have 0) They have a good claim at worst franchise of all time, but the 2 World Series titles kind of turns it around. Over the past 50 years, they've been a fairly good franchise. Their distant past is what drags them down. That's history pal! Marlins are pathetic, but have a few rings. Rockies and Padres have similar W/L and neither have won a World Series. Rockies have Rocktober. Padres beat the Cubbies for an episode of Punky Brewster. I believe the worst franchise of all time is the Padres. Their 5th highest career bWAR guy is Andy Ashby at 22.6 bWAR (he wouldn't be top 5 for the Rockies who have a 25 year disadvantage).

    Which Phillies DH is that? Castellanos or Schwarber?
  4. mvp 78
    Good thing they can all use more time at AA then.
  5. mvp 78
    His next goal is to win the WS while being under the CBT. He doesn't want the taint of expensive FA guys hanging around.
  6. mvp 78
    You're not praying hard enough, unbeliever.
  7. mvp 78
    Promotions just don't get handed to the best player all the time. Look at Karson Simas in AAA. He started in GRE this season and probably should still be there!

    @SoxProspects Good work today by 17-year-old RHP Dalvinson Reyes for the DSL Red Sox Blue squad today- 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K. Signed for $450,000 back in January, the 6'5' Dominican's fastball sits around 90 mph and tops out at 93. Has already seen his velocity start to tick up and should see further increases as he matures.

    When Hendriks first came back last season, he was awful. O'Neilll is never healthy. Not sure how much MORE you'd expect out of Abreu.
  10. mvp 78
    Is a DH better or worse with a bum knee?
  11. mvp 78
    The last time the Phillies won the series was 2008.
  12. mvp 78
    "Hey sport, I'm paying you a bunch of money for the next decade no matter what. Go out and destroy that knee in a meaningless game for me!"
  13. mvp 78
    They basically called it in '22 and '23 and ended with 78 wins. Why not do it again?
  14. mvp 78
    Yorke spent almost 700 PA's in AA. It was time. He's Rule 5 eligible this offseason. It was time. Mayer is the better player and had been performing better. They don't hand out promotions based on who has played the best.
  15. mvp 78
    The tough part with Duran is that there's just so many names on the ballot that he'll get lost in the shuffle.
  16. mvp 78
    You think players know OPS or fWAR more? I think it's probably OPS.
  17. mvp 78
    Jansen: 0 games Pivetta: 0-3 games Go from a 81 win to 78 win team.
  18. mvp 78
    Say your prayers that Yoshida comes back HOT and that they can deal him at the deadline and only eat a small amount of money.
  19. mvp 78
    I guess the pitching in AAA isn't really better than AA if Yorke's OPS has almost doubled since promotion. Or is it just a small sample size? Yorke was at about 700 PA's in AA. He was going to get promoted no matter what. He'll also return to a 750 OPS or worse sooner or later IMO. Yorke is also Rule 5 eligible this offseason. They need to figure out if they want to retain him this year or not. There's no similar rush with the big three.
  20. mvp 78
    You can't know that by scouting box scores. Sorry. Anthony, Teel and Mayer all have stuff to work on. None of them are mashing like Betts or Devers did in AA that forced quick promotions to AAA and then on to MLB.
  21. mvp 78
    fWAR is not listed on the online voting ballots, OPS is.
  22. mvp 78
    If Mayer can't hit LHP in AA, how is it helping him to face even more difficult LHP in AAA? Where is he going to find success? The step towards reaching his goal is succeeding at AA. Mayer is a guy that the SoxProspects guys think may not even be a SS 5-6 years after he enters the league. He's not a huge power guy. He'll need to develop other skills if he's moving off position and struggles against LHP currently, something he can adjust.
  23. mvp 78
    He's not getting called up to BOS this season. Not sure why you're trying to rush him to AAA where they'd have to get rid of depth players that could help a team that you're worried about falling under .500.
  24. mvp 78
    fWAR is the most meaningful statistic for the All Star Game?
  25. mvp 78
    Why would you call up a 3rd catcher to sit on the bench? If you get rid of a catcher and Wong or McGuire gets hurt, you're really in the lurch in BOS.
