    Just read the Mets only have 28 players on their 40, while ATL and SDP have just 31. Lots of slots to be filled around MLB, right now. I’d like to see us move from quantity of mediocre talent to a more quality based roster of better than mediocre players. Maybe we can find a 2 or 3 for one trade partner, who likes multiple fringe players on our roster.

    True. Sale, Paxton, Bello and even Crawford & Pivetta were near Kings for about a half season, but none were even Jacks for most of the season. Crawford probably came closest.

    I think it’s a way to place pitchers in value tiers, but with so much difference in opinion on what a 1, 2, or 3 means, it does make it near meaningless. To simplify things, it looks like Snell, Monty and Gray are somewhere between the rankings of 5-25 from 2021 to 2023 or2023 by itself. We all have our preferences and stat priorities, but I’d say all 3 are between the 10th and 15th best starters over the past 3 years. Some younger starters with1-2 years in MLB may be better going forward but I don’t think it’s all that far off to say… These 3 pitchers are as good or better than half the MLB teams’ best SPer.

    FWAR 2023 5.3 Gray 4.3 Monty 4.1 Snell 3.9 Nola signed w PHI (Cease 3.7, Burnes 3.4, Glasgow 3.1) 3.0 ERod (Garrett 3.0) 2.8 Lugo 2.6 Wacha, Stroman, Gibson 2.2 Clevinger

    Yes, and what matters most during the season is that your SPer is better than your opps more often than not. Of course, other parts of your team matters on winning vs losing but improving your odds with a better rotation seems to be the best area to focus on, and when the team was as bad as we were last year, in this area, we need some highly ranked SPers.
  6. moonslav59
    It does matter more, especially when you can get 3 starts from your game one starter. Otherwise, your top 3 SPers matter way more than you 4/5’s.
  7. moonslav59
    As much Bloom’s fault. Paxton and Bello were on the IL, too.
  8. moonslav59
    Yes, we know your viewpoint.
  9. moonslav59
    Maybe, but also it might depend on how many number 2’s and 3’s there are in MLB. If you think it’s about 30 #2’s, then I would think there is a big gap between a top #2 and a top #3, but maybe they aren’t that far apart.

    Gray would not be for7 years, but he would cost a pick. I agree with you: after Yano, Monty and Gray might be the best left.
  11. moonslav59
    It’s a convenient way to group starters, or so I thought, but there are so many differing views on what a 1, 2 and 3 SPer is, I am agreeing, too. I’d be happy to see us sign Monty, but I still hope we find a way to make him the second best pitcher we add. Yes, it’s a dream.
  12. moonslav59
    I thought he said back end 2 to Frint end 3.
  13. moonslav59
    A pitcher can pitch great, his team wins and he gets a no decision. A pitcher can pitch like crap and get the win. I don’t think GMs are happy with their starter, if he lets up7 runs, but the he gets the win. I think a GM is happy with SPers who keep them in as many games as possible by allowing fewer runs than the norm- win or lose. Sure, he wants his team to win, but I doubt he keeps a 7.00 ERA pitcher around because he goes 17-9 over a season.
  14. moonslav59
    Yes, and the point is other stats show who are better pitchers than their record

    I’m in Disney World for 5 days. BD present for the wife and daughter. (Not used to so much walking!)
  16. moonslav59
    I’m texting from my phone, today. I’m not used to it, and I can’t see what I type. I think my spell check is set on British not American.
  17. moonslav59
    And it’s still as messed up as ever. Both the wins and saves rules are so messed up, and with pitchers not going as deep into games, these days, these middle RPers are getting more and more of the decisions based on when they came into the game and not how well they did.
  18. moonslav59
    I’d like to bd fly on the wall listening in on Brez & Co.’s talks on who are their top priority targets. The players they are discussing might be way off from our discussions. Some may surprise us, greatly.

    A badge of honour.
  20. moonslav59
    The Sox went 22-9 u Dee Clemens that year. The list a game 1-0 and 2-1 with him on the mound.
  21. moonslav59
    We disagree with each other, all the time. We don’t seek to all be alike. I do t see very much acrimony between most of us.
  22. moonslav59
    Yes! 64-24 from2018-2021 team record.
  23. moonslav59
    Take another poll. Lmao!
  24. moonslav59
    It’s called giving an opinion and providing evidence and reasoning to support it. It does not mean we don’t understand or accept others positions or that we are trying to change their opinions.
  25. moonslav59
    For someone who chides us for never letting go or accepting that we agree to disagree, you go on and on, just like we do. You continually bring up past opinions you think were wrong, correct? What’s the difference?
