    How about OF?
  2. moonslav59
    If we trade Duran, he could DH, at least eventually. I get the problem with signing him, but until I see Paredes in the headlines, I'm looking for other options to boost our offense.
  3. moonslav59
    Not with Cora as manager, unless Brez trades DHam or keeps him at AAA.
  4. moonslav59
    That was my point. They don't have all those 4 anymore, not WC.
  5. moonslav59
    On E Suarez, it might also be about the money, the 3rd tax line and a willingness to defer salary.
  6. moonslav59
    Other than Paredes, he might be the best option to fill the need on offense for a power RH'd bat. Yes, he might be the worst defensive choice.
  7. moonslav59
    I heard somewhere there was talk of it. Can't find a link.
  8. moonslav59
    I have spoken about the need to upgrade the offense as part of the idea of trading Duran. Sign E Suarez and then trade Duran for a 2Bman that can hit plus maybe a decent RP'er. Or, trade Duran for Paredes, BKing and Janek.
  9. moonslav59
    They had about 4-5 catchers, last year.
  10. moonslav59
    That's fine. I read somewhere that STL was fine with his catcher defense but were just logjammed there, last year. They had plans to use him at catcher in 2026 before the trade. That being said, we do not want Contreras acting as the FT catcher for any long period of time, but he could carry the load until we sign someone, of add a catcher in AAA to the 40. I do not think we need to have another catcher on the 40 to start the season. We just need a guy at AAA that is capable of being promoted as a fill-in. Is Jason Delay good enough? I doubt Rosario or Lira fit the bill.

    I'd still like to see JH spend more, and E Suarez would be a nice addition, but I can understand wanting to trade some salary to keep us under the 3rd line, if we do sign Geno. (Duran 9, Bello 9 or Sandoval 9 might be enough.)
  12. moonslav59
    Agreed, and I still have to think Duran's value to another team as a LF'er or CF'er is worth more than the upgrade from Masa to Duran as our DH is.
  13. moonslav59
    We are much better off with Rafaela in CF & Abreu in RF. Anthony should be better in LF than Duran.
  14. moonslav59
    sp.com projects Gray making the 26 on their recent podcast but not on their page.
  15. moonslav59
    We have Contreras already on the 26, so we are better off than years past. We may add a minor league guy before opening day.
  16. moonslav59
    ...and LF'ers are routinely underscored due to the short field.
  17. moonslav59
    I thought this was waivers
  18. moonslav59
    The Mets are one big wet dream.
  19. moonslav59
    Didnt they have the earlier choice than us?
  20. moonslav59
    Maybe Contreras, one of the most honest men in MLB. Very fitting nickname! LOL.
  21. moonslav59
    Stating facts that counter someone's point made, while saying I'm pissed at JH, too is not apologizing. When I respond to posts like this, you accuse me of repeating the same thing over and over, and it's precisely because of you I have to repeat myself. No, there is nothing wrong with defending JH, and some do. If some of my statements sound like I am, so be it. I don't see it that way. I am glad he took over the team and brought us 4 rings, but I'm not happy with the major cutbacks on spending- sometimes when it looks like the window is wide open. I'm not trying hard to deny something I don't believe, but go on pretending you know my beliefs all you want. It's what you do best.
  22. moonslav59
    Yes, that's my point. We can argue that Brez messed up, if we want, but Ranger cost about the same as Bregman (after deferrals) and Contreras + Gray cost about as much as Alonso. How can we not be cheap, if we signed Alonso & Bregman but are cheap for paying the same for Ranger, Contreras & Gray? Were we cheap, last winter, because our $21M picther sucked? We spent over $40M on pitching: Buehler, Sandoval, Chapman & Wilson and $40M on Bregman. JH has been a miser, and probably will be again. I was not happy with that. He just has not been one for two winters.
  23. moonslav59
    Add two more choices: All of the above (2019-2024, yes, as well as sporadic times beforehand.) None of the above (2025-2026 yes, none of the above applies.)
  24. moonslav59
    Either choice that happens.
  25. moonslav59
    You should be asking who keeps misrepresenting my views and motives as being apologetic, so I have to keep saying this as a disclaimer. BTW, the answer is you and a few others.
