After the Mondesi trade Bloom still has some money to play with (assuming they go up to the first threshold but not over).
-
Not bad. Dumpster diving was getting a little old.
-
True enough.
-
Andrus was plus on both O and D last year.
-
No, the crying is usually ignored.
-
Well, he actually was a venerable old grandpa in baseball terms...
-
Crybabies!
-
The thing about IKF is that Cashman took on Donaldson's salary to get him. So he's invested in him, in more ways than one. I don't think he's going anywhere.
-
Sure, but they weren't exactly proven quantities. Then when Houck finally secured the job, he got hurt. It was that kind of season...
-
It does make a lot of sense for the Yankees to keep him around for 2023 rather than selling out on the kids.
-
Counting on Arroyo for 140 could be a mistake, though. His history says he's injury-prone, and because he's injury-prone and hasn't played anything like a full season, he's more likely to wear down faster.

I'm an OPS+ guy. 2018 135 2019 139 2020 128 2021 129 2022 131
-
He's never been a big power guy though, other than the juiced ball year of 2019.
-
Bogey's consistent 130ish OPS+ factors in his offensive-friendly home park. And with the balanced schedule, everyone will be facing new pitchers more. I think he'll be fine.
-
The Punto trade opened things up for Ben to spend.
-
You mean you don't see any OLD SCHOOLERS adjusting for luck.
-
That was just further to the "playoffs are a crapshoot" discussion, and how a team can go from looking like crap to being red hot just like that.
-
LOL RBI what? Nothing about OPS or OPS+ or wRC or any of the usual measuring sticks for offensive production?
-
Yes, the reason I say the Red Sox looked lousy at the end of 2021 comes down to their last 9 games: 0-3 vs Yankees at home horrific 1-2 vs 52-110 Orioles horrific 3-0 vs 65-97 Nats clutch/fortunate - every game was tough
-
Don't worry, any 2023 optimists are more than balanced out by pessimists here.
-
The 2021 Red Sox looked horrible going into the postseason. They were incredibly lucky to be there.
-
Peralta? He might be the Yankees' closer.
-
The very fact that Bloom was hired meant JH wanted some slashing.
-
As I understand it, FanGraphs bases WAR for pitchers largely on FIP.
-
ERA+ is, however, superior to ERA and relatively easy to quantify and understand.
