    It actually has nothing to do with the "at best" comment, which had to do with our final position in the standings I believe. Fourth. At best.
  2. FredLynn
    100 isn’t “out of the question”-nor is 70. At this point all these predictions are just opinions. Mine is a game or two better than last year, no playoffs -though I may be overly optimistic- or if we do get in another quick exit.
  3. FredLynn
    Not with this roster.

    As long as everyone enjoys me being a pain I’m good doing it

    Just wanted to let everyone know that Rafaela has picked up exactly where he left off. Two Ks in 2 ABs today so far. Still useless with a bat in his hands.
  6. FredLynn
    We have reached the point where we are entitled to complain about not being a factor in the discussion about championship contenders.
  7. FredLynn
    I don't see this team as much better than last year's team-maybe by a couple of wins or so, but certainly not a factor for a championship. We could have been there if Henry wasn't such a cheap SOB.
  8. FredLynn
    Sound like what the Peter Principle referred to as a "lateral arabesque".....a wash. So if we manage to get into the playoffs this year I expect a similar result-one and out.
  9. FredLynn
    I was referring to actually spending money on FAs to obtain the talent necessary to be a relevant factor for a ring, which right now we are not.
  10. FredLynn
    I think Henry has put the reins on Breslows ability to pay what is necessary to get offensive talent.
  11. FredLynn
    Well of course! The first goal is to get into the playoffs. But if the result is like last year I for one am not going to satisfied. Last year it was ok. This year we should demand more.
  12. FredLynn
    I was happy he opted out, given the injury history and the way he finished the season. I was hoping for an upgrade which never came.
  13. FredLynn
    Are you satisfied with making a guest appearance in the playoffs like last year?
  14. FredLynn
    I realize its a possibility, though I don't think it will happen. Regardless, just getting into the playoffs and getting bounced in round 1 like last year isn't good enough because management had the means to get us the talent to do much better. I am not willing to settle for mediocrity again.
  15. FredLynn
    I am predicting 88-90 wins, no playoffs. Now lets watch the games prove me right.
  16. FredLynn
    4th place and no playoffs is spot on. It’s what I have been writing all along. Pecota is a few games off in the win column though. Watch and weep….
  17. FredLynn
    Sounds about right
  18. FredLynn
    And where would you play him? DH?
  19. FredLynn
    There is a non zero chance that Casas comes back . I think his career OPS is over .800. I haven’t given up on him . The question would become where to put him.
  20. FredLynn
    Duran is the worst of the four OF but Rafaela-unless things have changed for him-is much worse with a bat in his hands. We actually have five OF if you want to stick Masa in LF occasionally. I suspect that Duran will get at least 20% of the OF starts since Breslow didn’t do his job and trade one of them for a good IF.
  21. FredLynn
    No doubt we will discover additional needs near the TD-if we are a legitimate contender for a playoff spot. Those needs can be addressed at that time. The issue is that right now there is a glaring need that wasn’t filled. Why do you think that is? The players to fill that need were available.
  22. FredLynn
    I tend to be stubborn and stick to my guns when I think I’m right. I realize that I won’t always get it right but if I truly believe something I see no reason to change my mind unless what I consider to be solid proof that I’m wrong presents itself.
  23. FredLynn
    I think you correctly and succinctly posted that our ceiling is now limited because our offense isn’t that of a team competing for a ring. That sums it up. Maybe we’ll finish 3rd. Maybe we’ll make the playoffs. But doing that and getting bounced early again isn’t what I would call a successful season. Not this year. And the shame is that it didn’t have to be this way.
  24. FredLynn
    Yes, Conteras IS a good hitter (see above). But Alonso has better numbers.
  25. FredLynn
    Contreras was not on my dreg list. His lifetime OPS is 121. Alonso is at 135 lifetime and 144 last year. Alonso hit 38 HRs last year. Contreras 17. Face it: we chose "Alonso light".
