    Reese was dealing with an injury last year and his defense was disappointing. He was above average in '23 but slipped in '22. Wong had good pop times and a nice arm, but his framing is still bad.
  2. mvp 78
    His problem is he didn't do a teardown in '22. At the deadline he should have traded Sale and JD as offers were on the table. Xander and Eovaldi were given QO's that offseason and the comp picks would have been higher. A case could be made that he should have sold high on Schreiber too. That puts the rebuild in motion sooner. Hill and Wacha were probably seen as damaged goods and unable to be dealt at the deadline. At the '23 deadline or sooner, Paxton should have been traded.

    No impact for this year. Upside for next? They really don't care about this season.

    Churning the bottom 10 guys with waiver claims is easy. You don't even have to call other GM's to make those moves!
  5. mvp 78
    To give credit where credit is due, you were on Abreu and Valdez back in '22 before anyone else on this board, I think.

    Werner is the most reliable source in the Hub of the Universe!
  7. mvp 78
    He was a guy who always second guessed himself and never wanted to lose a trade. He took the path of least resistance, which was to do nothing.

    It's a strong side platoon DH.
  9. mvp 78
    880 OPS in '22 in AA. 1112 OPS in '23 in AA. He was just pumping up stats in '23. Wasn't learning anything.
  10. mvp 78
    It's clear that Henry preferred inexperienced guys that he can boss around.
  11. mvp 78
    Valdez had a 670 OPS vs LHP at Sugar Land in '22. https://www.milb.com/sugar-land/stats/2022?split=vl&playerPool=ALL It was clear that he had no business in AA '22.

    If Reyes sucks, Valdez isn't the promotion IMO. Reyes is on the squad to field multiple positions. Valdez can only play 2B and he's awful there. They'd call up Hamilton or Romy Gonzalez.

    That's 1 year at 5.9 fwar. Rendon went 5.9/5.9/6.8. Xander didn't have that in his arsenal.
  14. mvp 78
    Letting Bogey go wasn't a mistake. Not offering him a lower contract ahead of time was. Letting Mookie go and not offering him 375M was a mistake.
  15. mvp 78
    I think he tried the "be competitive while rebuilding" but he should have torn it all down in '22.
  16. mvp 78
    Very chaotic.
  17. mvp 78
    Also, your listed '23 split is only for Corpus Christie.

    Valdez: 393 OPS MLB in '23 703 OPS WOO in '23 559 OPS WOO in '22 I don't care about his inflated offensive numbers from TX. It's not a surprise that both he and Abreu so a decrease in production right after leaving hitter friendly MiLB parks in TX. Every scouting report on Valdez talks about his platoon issues.
  19. mvp 78
    He's better than out 38-40 slot guys too.
  20. mvp 78
    I agree on both accounts. It's specifically why I dealt Valdez for a non-40 man guy.
  21. mvp 78
    I agree, Bloom is a bad GM.
  22. mvp 78
    Too loaded up on ice cream. "Don't ask those tough questions again unless you want the free Coke machine to vanish..."
  23. mvp 78
    See, if we were really on the payroll, these BTV deals would be getting done!
  24. mvp 78
    They should have tried harder because they should have given Mookie a counteroffer! Mookie should still be a Red Sox no matter what. Ownership FAILED! FACT!!!
  25. mvp 78
    Rendon was coming of back to back to back 5/6 fWAR seasons. That's not where Xander was then.
