Jake Reed is a cool name, at least.
-
In 2019 with the Dodgers, for example, he started 100 games and appeared in 30 others. Most importantly for this discussion, he was 6th on the team in plate appearances. That makes you a regular, ain't no way around it.
-
Whyzat?
-
I'd leave them just as they are.
-
#19 all-time in bWAR including pitchers...
-
And Kike is just a bit better on defense...
-
Better than Schwarber's 233 career Ave.!
-
A losing record can be 80-82, or the 1962 Mets 40-120. Some see differences in the two.
-
But again, they still ended up with a $234.5 million payroll for tax purposes. Acquiring more actual big leaguers in June-July would only have increased that, and would also have meant trading some prospects, presumably. And probably all for naught.
-
The Dodgers and Mets went aller inner.
-
And there was very little he could have done about that. I think we may have discussed this point already.
-
Now Berrios was a trade-and-extend, which is what Talksox intelligentsia are saying is the key to our turnaround. I guess even with a trade-and-extend you really have to get it right!
-
The dreaded C word!
-
I'm pretty sure Bloom isn't even thinking about Judge as an option for the Red Sox. It'd be fun to see the Yanks and maybe the SF Giants get in a little bidding war for him, though.
-
It's always about money, no doubt about that. We know the owners wanted 14 this year but had to settle for 12. I'm skeptical that 16 playoff teams is anything in the near future.
-
He had 462 PA's in 2018 and 460 in 2019. Not really "nothing but a backup".
-
Is "going all out" pretty much the same as "going all in"?
-
lmao
-
All these guys have talent.
-
Mine too. Not trying to crucify Bloom just for trading Springs, but our pitching was horrible this year, and Springs was good.
-
Maybe. We're only at 6 per league right now, so that would be a huge step.
-
Again, that makes no sense. If Bloom had the right instincts about Springs, he wouldn't have sold low on him.
-
Speaking of catchers, final CERA numbers for 2022: Wong 3.72 (138.0 IP) Vaz 4.21 (643.1) Plawecki 4.32 (420.2) McGuire 6.33 (229.0)

OK, well, "timing" is just another way of saying "blind luck", no?
-
There's no perfect way to do it.
