    Just about everyone we care about won tonight. (TEX is tied w CWS, late.) Only TBR lost. The O's are just 2 down in the loss column (4 overall.) We remain 1.5 from the last slot (NYY) with 2 teams between us and them.

    That's what I always mean. BA is so yesterday.
  3. moonslav59
    Indeed: 5 IP 77 pitches Bernardino has been a gem in the rough, so far.
  4. moonslav59
    To me, that is great news, because I am pretty sure Devers will hit over .800 the rest of the season.
  5. moonslav59
    Firming up the case for his own DFA.

    Sister Christian!

Yorke (4-4 w 2B & HR) got 4 of the team's 6 hits. Hickey 1-3 w BB Kavadas 0-2 w 2BB SAL is losing big. Coffey 2-3 w 3B WOR in a close one: Drohan 5 IP 4 ER EValdez and Hamilton pulled early (Reyes injury-related?) Dalbec 1-3 w 2B

    Maybe later.
  9. moonslav59
    So much for being happy he was on the bench, before the Reyes injury was announced.

    6 of their top 7 hitters by PAs are over .810. 7 of their top 10 are over .813. Which of these guys are suspect? .931 Luke Raley .916 Yandy Diaz .889 Arozarena .854 Harold Ramirez .844 Josh Lowe .836 Isaac Paredes .813 Franco Okay, maybe, just maybe Harold Ramirez, but I'm surprised Brandon Lowe is not over .810.

    True, but we have a better chance passing BAL than TBR and maybe even a second place HOU or TEX.
  12. moonslav59
    I'm kinda hoping BAL loses. We have a better chance passing them.
  13. moonslav59
    Laser shot!

    Like most younger players, he wasn't getting any help from the umps, and I think that messed with his head, early on. He seems to be on track, now, but future adjustments will likely be needed, as well. I have no problem with his hitting skills and outlook. The D kinda smacked me upside the head, but he should improve there, too. I'm with Nick: it sure is fun watching these kids get a shot and play well. Bello Casas Crawink turned it around. EValdez & Duran and even Murphy. Several of our "near ML ready" prospects, like Mata, Walter and Rafaela have struggled out of the gate, but others on the farm have taken some big strides forward, and Rafaela is heating back up. Many of our top prospects are not expected to help, this year and some beyond 2024, but it's pretty well spread out on ETAs: SP's estimates: 2023: EValdez, Mata and Murphy (listed as 2024) 2024: 1. Mayer, 3. Rafaela, 5. Drohan, 13. Walter, 14. Abreu 2025: 4. Yorke (listed late '24), 11. Paulino, 12. Wikelman, 16-17-18 Jordan, Bonaci & Hickey 2026: 2. Bleis, 6. Anthony, 7. Romero, 8. Perales, 15. E R-C

    Ober is pretty tough. His ERA and WHIP has improve from year 1 to his 3rd year. Time to turn things around for the poor guy! I'm hoping Kike can earn the 2B slot and keep Arroyo on the bench, where he may not get hurt.
  16. moonslav59
    Looks very promising, despite just a 15 IP sample size.
  17. moonslav59
    That's because our pitching is awesome, now! No Sale? What the hail! No Houck?- Whatchootalkinbouk? No Schreiber? Ummm,,, Who cares! We got Paxton & Bello. We got Whit & Crawford. We got... ummm... who cares!
  18. moonslav59
    If you HAD to... I might decide to keep one from Duran or Rafaela (25-30), Yorke + Anthony (30) plus Bonaci + Walter (10) and hope 65-70 gets us an ace. Like I said, I'm torn. I love the idea of building up the farm, and letting it mature, then, when you have a logjam, you make a trade. We are not there, yet.
  19. moonslav59
    18 year old, Jh. Garcia, homered twice.

    Chaim sometimes posts under the name OldRed.

    If you had to trade prospects for an ace or a pitcher who might become an ace, which ones to you trade? BTV Values: you likely need to come up with 80-100+ to get an ace: 65 Mayer 34 Bello 30 Duran 30 Bleis 28 Casas 25 Rafaela 24 Houck 23 Whitlock 22 Verdugo & Yoshida 19 Yorke 11 Anthony 9 Romero 8 Wink 7 Wong & Alcantara 5 Bonaci, Meidroth, Paulino, Paxton & Walter 4 Bastardo, Jordan, Hickey, Drohan, Mata, Valdez 3 Refsnyder, Blayock, E R-C, Murphy, Abreu You can't trade 10 guys from the 3-5 group to get to a $40M value, either.
  22. moonslav59
    My bad. I clicked on Tony Fossas. LOL
  23. moonslav59
    Yes, and some went on to pretty good careers: Tony Armas Jr. & Carl Pavano (Pedro) Fossas (career 111 ERA+) & Jorge de la Rosa (career 100 ERA+) (Schilling) Anibal Sanchez (Beckett) Kopech (Sale) Who do we give up for the next one? Hopefully not Bello. Drohan and Mata? Drohan, Rafaela, E R-C and Romero?
  24. moonslav59
    I'm pretty confident in the Casas progression. I think he will keep growing and getting better on D, with power and even more on the OBP.
  25. moonslav59
    I think Wong and McGuire needed a learning curve to get to know our staff, and they shortened the curve to about 6 weeks. I think even veteran catchers need a couple weeks or more to get to a comfort zone with a new staff. I projected our catching would be as good or better than 2022's and most disagreed. They both will be fine on D and with the staff, IMO. They were not so great in April, but maybe that was 90% on the pitchers. I like McGuire and Wong pretty evenly, but it is early to judge.
