  1. The way us modern fans have been conditioned to think. Hoping players will play great so they will build trade value or opt out.
  2. The fuss is over the top, but the "who plays where" riddles are real.
  3. Boosting the post count is not all bad! 😁
  4. Yeah, he's just naturally a big man. He's not Pablo.
  5. I'm disappointed you could say such a thing. Because the AAV is 31.7...
  6. And benching Devers hurts the team, so that ain't a very smart solution IMHO. The goal is to win as many games as possible, not to mete out discipline based on principle. It's up to Cora to manage the situation.
  7. Right, but this is about the team, and whether they did the right thing or the wrong thing waiting until Bregman or Arenado was officially acquired before addressing the 3B situation with Raffy.
  8. I'm going to speculate that no player in MLB has a contract that guarantees in writing which position he will play, whenever he plays, for the length of the contract.
  9. I think this is an excellent observation. They had no way of knowing if they'd be landing Bregman or Arenado or not. There was apparently a LOT of doubt that Bregman would sign with us.
  10. Yeah, who knows is the correct answer. How Bloom could promise Raffy he'd be third baseman until the contract expires at the end of 2033 is another 'who knows'. I'm not really blaming anyone here. I expect the last 2 seasons of horrible defensive numbers for the team as a whole played a huge part in this process, and I think that makes sense.
  11. He pitched basically a whole year with it. It's one of them tricky ones.
  12. We can live with one Keller/Horn for 5-10 innings of garbage time. That's it! 🙂
  13. Holy crap. They might have to trade him.
  14. The Dodgers and Yankees both had 'closer issues' last year. Save leaders Phillips and Holmes had both lost the closer job by playoff time. Having a reliable Mr. Lockdown is nice, but it's not a make or break thing.
  15. Which reportedly inspired John Henry, watching in the stands, to the best line of his career as a baseball owner: "Can I fire him right now?"
  16. By all accounts he's a real pro. I don't think he would have stuck around unless he was ready to give it a 100% effort. So obviously I'm taking the Polly side on this one. 😁
  17. I'm not saying they're not true, it's the relevance part I'm questioning.
  18. I'm not a big fan of the arguments that he was contemplating retirement and it might be his last year...
  19. Well, I have to agree with moon that Refsnyder should get as many PA's against lefties as possible.
  20. Reason for the focus: In the 119 they were 64-55 In the 43 they were 17-26 Random noise or meaningful stat nugget? I honestly don't know.
  21. David Robertson fits the bill, and is for some reason still available.
  22. Unfortunately, Roster Destruction, AKA injuries, often has a big say in these decisions, too.
  23. I can't say it's anything special. I've heard it used here plenty LOL
  24. I'm sure I'll get sick of hearing Roster Construction, but it does beat Bridge Year or Full Throttle, I guess.
