  1. If ever there was an offseason that Henry and Co. need to put their money where their mouth is, this is it.
  2. Let's give Mondesi the boot, then.
  3. Only if Cot's is wrong by more than 3 mill or so.
  4. I'm not hung up on Walker. The context was Bloom - Dombrowski moves in the 2023 offseason.
  5. That must be Logan Allen II you're talking about, not the one DD traded.
  6. You're not providing a lick of data, though, just reciting a general theory.
  7. Nope, not if you suck. You can pull guys in off the street to do that.
  8. Why? He's had 4 consecutive relatively healthy seasons. Why don't we just stipulate that every pitcher has health risks?
  9. Have to say you're right.
  10. Walker over Kluber is a delta of 8. If Cot's is right, we were 11 under. (Not 100% sure Cot's is right - we'll find out in December.)
  11. Better late than never, moon.
  12. Mind you, if it was our roster, we'd be dreaming of bouncebacks from Rodon, Cortes, Stanton, Rizzo and LeMahieu...
  13. Being paid minimum wage in itself doesn't make you a plus. Any bum can do that for you.
  14. Name names please.
  15. Braves big hitters looked a little tired in yesterday's game.
  16. Hmm, let's see if I can dress this up a bit. Mediocre bat, for a catcher. Average MLB catcher hit .697 this year. Wong had his OPS over .700 much of the year. He joined in the collective fade down the stretch, perhaps as a result of fatigue from his longest MLB season, perhaps as a result of the team having the life sucked from it by injuries to Duran and Casas, and the stunning inactivity of Bloom and his cohorts.
  17. Maybe he could have signed Walker and stayed under the tax threshold though. It's just a comparison of what DD did vs. what Bloom did. DD had more money to play with, obviously. So maybe what I'm talking about has more to do with Henry's cheapskate approach than with Bloom.
  18. Kershaw has a career regular season ERA of 2.48 and a career postseason ERA of 4.49.
  19. Can we at least wait until some of that happens?
  20. Why are you so skeptical about Henry lowballing Betts or being risk-averse about it? There's a pattern of it by Henry. You would think that if JH was dead serious about trying to keep Betts he would have offered $350 mill or thereabouts. That was clearly Betts's market value at the time.
  21. Well, you're entitled to your guesses.
  22. What does Price have to do with it?
  23. If he clearly wanted free agency, why did he sign the extension with the Dodgers?
  24. Here's a Bloom vs. Dombrowski thing: While Bloom was signing Kluber this offseason, DD signed T. Walker for 4/72. Kind of a typical DD overpay. But Walker logged 172.2 innings with a 2.5 fWAR, so the 18 million was worth it for 2023 at least.
  25. If Henry wouldn't pay market value, they both had the same chance - zero.
