    Yeah. 131 out of 144 major league games at 3rd however. Reason I think he might stick at 3rd for us is that I think Cora will want to platoon Mayer with Romy. And you'd rather Romy at 2nd than 3rd.

  3. Hitch
    Yeah, 100% that's what's happening I think.
  4. Hitch
    I didn't ask whether you cared or not. I was just asking what you thought was likely if not having our 4 starting outfielders rotating. If you don't care, don't reply.
  5. Hitch
    And learning to hit better in general.
  6. Hitch
    What do you think will happen instead?
  7. Hitch
    Yeah, but my feeling is we aren't sending one of the outfielders anywhere, so it'll be Raf, Duran, Anthony and Abreu rotating around the DH, which means Casas won't even be replacing Masa, but one of them - something I don't see happening. the roster is still very much a an odd conception right now. I must say though, in a vacuum I do like this kid.
  8. Hitch
    I think he'll be taking 3rd. Mayer to 2nd in platoon with Romy.
  9. Hitch
    I like the control, almost 3 WAR s a rookie, but man, we are going to be lacking in the power department unless Mayer taps into something this year.

    I was just about to post as well - this is how difficult it is to make a trade.
  11. Hitch
    Absolutely not if he is the back up. In fact I think it's a great move if that's the case. I am nervous it is not.
  12. Hitch
    Yea, very much seems that way.
  13. Hitch
    Devers was our only 3rd baseman when Casas got hurt the first time. You move him, it just creates another hole. It makes no sense. Yes, let's leave it there. Unless I could interest you in a conversation about Zebra s*** being an aphrodisiac?
  14. Hitch
    Appreciate it, but with your years long beef with Old Red, I can't help but feel if I'd replied to him with 'Zebra s*** is actually an aphrodisiac' you'd have responded with the same post. 😂

    I get the feeling the Cubs ask for Horner might be even higher than the Astros' for Paredes. It's a tough market for trades right now. Using one Bres' favourite words, he is going to have to get uncomfortable.
  16. Hitch
    That's....interesting.

    It also means betraying someone/people. But semantics aside, I think everyone knew what I was getting at with that phrasing. I'd hope anyway. That's a fair question. Hard to know really. It would have been nice to have been a fly on the wall inside that meeting with Henry. It clearly didn't go well. As I point out ad nauseum, I have no issues with Devers getting rowdy about the whole situation. I don't think I've seen such a dishonest approach to a signing as the - Bregman will play 2nd debacle. It was absurd, and adds fuel to a raging fire that communication is not a strong point for this team. But with all that in mind, the team needed him. He told them to go swivel. And gleefully accepted the role at his new team. Regardless of the royal f*** up that led to that point, that for me is by the biggest sin in this whole shoddy affair.

    I'll ignore the Casas was inured the year before (Bregman signed) as it's an utterly useless comparison. The Red Sox had a good 3B man, too. And they needed a 1B when our alternative was Toro playing there. The argument that he was going to a new team and so playing 1st has nothing to do with the fact he wouldn't for his own teammates and team, despite being the all time highest paid player for said team in need, is quite something I must say. 😐 I responded because someone addressed me directly. You didn't need to respond at all if you don't want the conversation to continue. And yes, it is my opinion. Thanks Captain Obvious, but nobody should be under the illusion that anything posted on here is anything but opinion. Nobody is acting on inside knowledge. But if a man's direct actions and words on camera is not enough for you, again, you do you. It's more than enough for me. 👍

    This is why it's difficult. No way I'm sending them Abreu unless there's something BIG coming back our way with Paredes. And if it is Duran, I want something tasty back with him, too, but Houston don't seem interested in Duran. Hence the apparent stalemate.
  20. Hitch
    That to me IS throwing your teammates under the bus. We just lost our first baseman and badly needed him to play there. He could have come out, had a bit of a hissy fit (rightly so in terms of communication), put it on record that he was not happy with the way the entire debacle played out, and still pick up the mitt and play the position to help out the teammates. Instead he said no, then went to a new team and promptly said he'd play there. That is throwing your teammates under the bus, no matter the right he had in being annoyed.
  21. Hitch
    I'm with you on Gray in a vacuum. But I'd just rather that money was spent on the offence (and us still signing Ranger). I'd be very curious to see what Houston want for the Paredes.
  22. Hitch
    Jesus, how often do we have to go through this? The best paid guy in the history of the club literally refused to play 1st when our 1st baseman blew his knee out and we needed him. Then he complained he can't play every position on the diamond. As if that's what they were asking. Then he went to the Giants and proudly announced he'll play wherever they tell him. You don't have to reply to every Devers point like some jilted lover. He's not sending you a Christmas card. f*** that guy.
  23. Hitch
    Again, don't disagree. I reckon he'd take the Gray trade back now if he could, and just send a bit extra and no trade clause to Bregman. We'd certainly be in better shape for my money.
  24. Hitch
    Yeah, I mean looking at it logically - we didn't get Ryan as they valued him very high. We also haven't given up Bello as we value him very highly. That said, we have no idea if we want to trade Bello away outside of some mixed reporting. so hard to judge either way. I personally like that we are holding out high on player values (or at least seem to be). Bres should be.
