First guy to ever have an off-year. Good point. -
I've answered this plenty of times. Wacha was 11-2 with a 3.32 ERA last year. Nobody said they didn't want him back. Why are you persisting with this?
-
a) You're leaving out the $15 million posting fee. Not on the tax books but still real money. His fWAR is 0.9, not 1.3.
-
True, but if Turner exercises his option for 2024 we're looking at the same thing next year.
-
But a very attractive .586 SLG and a 135 OPS+.
-
He shouldn't be playing the field. But Bloom signed another DH in Turner. A lot of it comes back to Bloom's bizarre team construction, I guess.
-
Agreed. He's been pretty good this year.
-
Yoshida has a .676 OPS in June. Hopefully he turns it around in July. I'm not cheering against the guy.
-
He's not an above average player. He's an expensive DH, plain and simple. I guess the reason I'm so critical might be because I'm getting tired of hearing about Bloom not having any money to throw around.
-
This is it. Yoshida has been revealed to be an expensive DH who does not hit a lot of home runs.
-
I largely gave him a pass for last year. This year I'm putting on him. I was uneasy through the whole offseason and all my uneasiness has been borne out in reality.
-
So between Story and Yoshida, the thrifty Bloom has incurred a 41.33 million AAV this year for 0.9 fWAR and 0.7 bWAR. Thank goodness he's not a money-waster like DD!
-
.676 OPS in June with 1 HR. Yeah, this might not age well at all.
-
Guess what, Bloom signed a new DH in Yoshida who is on pace to hit 16 HR.
-
Bloom added the Story albatross to the Sale albatross to keep it company. Bloom spent over $100 mill on a DH, essentially the same amount that DD spent on Martinez. We'll see if Yoshida matches Martinez in production.
-
And Bloom went over the tax line in 2022 and got 78 wins out of it.
-
"Impossible" is pretty hyperbolic. Difficult, sure, but I don't think it was impossible. He could have done significantly better, IMHO.
-
1 for 3 is good, if you're a hitter.
-
And he arguably f***ed up last year's too. Maybe Bloom is a fine farm-builder who is not good at putting together major league teams.
-
Not even after Game 3 of the 2021 ALCS?
-
moon, you said the "real plan" could be 2025 and beyond. I was responding to that.
-
I never said anything about a ring.
-
How could Chaim Bloom possibly be expected to field competitive teams in his 3rd, 4th and 5th seasons? How freakin' demanding of us.
-
Sure, let's just punt 2024 too. Great plan.
-
There are different kinds of stupid. I for one actually think Henry cares about the team's performance. He could sell the team and cash in any time. You think he digs getting the crap booed out of him when he goes to events? Also, I'm including Bloom in this. And he's a salaried employee on a short-term contract.
