    We already have a FANTASTIC DH in Yoshida. And he's not going anywhere.

    I also reviewed some medical literature on the subject. I can produce it if you want, but in the interest of brevity the AI was a summary. Casas has also stated that he hasn't been given a recovery timeline longer than a year. Here you go: https://www.webmd.com/men/features/patellar-tendon-recovery

    And I am fine with him there, given his career OPS and OPS+. Defensively he has some work to do, but his production you can't rationally question. I haven't seen any timelines for recovery that are over a year with this kind of injury, especially in a young healthy athlete.
  4. FredLynn
    How do you know he won't be ready in April or May? Have you read something that indicates that is true? An AI search produced this: Triston Casas, first baseman for the Boston Red Sox, suffered a season-ending ruptured left patellar tendon in May. He is expected to make a full recovery, with a target return date around Opening Day 2026

    So four rings is enough. Time to hang it up? As a fan thats not an acceptable attitude. This is a team that should compete for a ring nearly every year. Its not KC or Tampa. More effort should be put into doing so.
  6. FredLynn
    So you want to plan the future on the possibility that once he is recovered he'll likely be injured again? You cannot plan for every eventuality. If he gets hurt the team will need to deal with it, just like they would need to deal with anyone else getting injured.

    They can sign a very good player or two AND extend people worth extending. This is not a small market franchise like Henry would like to see it as. In total payroll the Flops are middle third, #12. We can do better.
  8. FredLynn
    The fact is that his numbers are good. You cannot count on someone getting injured as a reason to plan to replace him. Thats just dumb. If he gets hurt you deal with it. It could happen to anyone.

    He needs to get started this offseason. That amount of money can buy a very good player and a long contract. If he pockets most of it I am going to be very disappointed, though not surprised.
  10. FredLynn
    I meant he wasn't given a chance in 2025. Looking at his stats his career OPS is .800 and his career OPS+ is 118. He's not 40 years old. Next year I would expect his numbers to be closer to his career stats.

    Henry needs to stop being a cheapskate and be willing to spend all the $250M he’s saving after trading the malcontent away.
  12. FredLynn
    I wouldn’t be giving up on Casas at 1B. He had a slow start this year before he blew out his knee but he really never got a chance to show what he has, if anything.
  13. FredLynn
    It’s the rules of the game. Baseball is a team sport. If a player doesn’t accept that then they SHOULD be off the team. There’s only one manager, one GM. The players get paid a lot of money to do what’s best for the TEAM, not for themselves.
  14. FredLynn
    I can’t even imagine how disruptive it must have been in the clubhouse having young impressionable rookies sitting next to a guy who refused to do what was best for the team. Now the rookies have learned that if you’re not a team player you’re not on the team.
  15. FredLynn
    Bello gives it up on an 0-2 count. Inexcusable.
  16. FredLynn
    Nice defensive play all around cutting down the run.
  17. FredLynn
    Exactly wrong. There are half a dozen teams in the running for the pennant. We should be buyers if we are clearly one of the top 2 teams in the league rather than waste our prospects in a trade for results that will likely not be fruitful.
  18. FredLynn
    Get back to me when we win the AL pennant. Tell me how great our team is then. Fact is, we do not have the talent to make a deep Oct run and its best if we are sellers. Hopefully management will agree.
  19. FredLynn
    I don't much care what you think about my mental state.
  20. FredLynn
    Let me be clear: our chance of winning the pennant are low IMO, probably around 20% or less. Not good enough to be buyers.
  21. FredLynn
    Our chances of making a deep run in Oct are not good enough, not with bums like Boohler, Wong, Toro etc on the roster. We are not better than the teams I listed, and there are a lot of them. Better to try to obtain more talent for a run in 2027 or 2028 where our talent level is greater than those other guys so that we can compete with teams like the Dodgers, the Phillies, and the Cubs for a ring.
  22. FredLynn
    You mean which teams do I think are likely to finish ahead of us in the WC or division.....the Jays, the Yankees, the Rangers, the Ms etc. Any of those teams could easily eliminate us IF we do make the playoffs-or bump us out of the playoffs entirely. We do not have the talent needed to make a deep Oct run.
  23. FredLynn
    We MIGHT be good enough to make the playoffs for a change. I'd set those odds at 50/50. Winning a ring? Not even close. To compete for a ring we need a #2 SP, another good RP, a 1B man, and a backup catcher. Too many holes to fill all at once.

    Yesterday I thought Today he is still dead however

    Wilson has been in 40 games with an ERA of 2.18 before this game
