I see it as having less faith in Brasier and Ort and liking our pitching depth way more than our OF depth and middle IF depth which may force Kike to 2B or SS. If we added Andrus and Michael Taylor, I'd think a bit differently about who goes next. People gave up on Dalbec and look what happ... oh, wait!
-
I was never high on him and must have traded him on BTV 20 times, but I've lost almost all faith in him. I do, however, think a few others should go before I totally give up on him. I'd start with Brasier and Ort. I'd try to trade Dalbec before I'd cut Duran, especially when we have such weak depth in the OF and may need Kike in the middle IF, this season. CF is insane, though, and again, I'm not sure why we keep overloading on LF-only types.

Yes, that post was from 3 days ago.
-
335 PAs is that definitive?
-
My only issue was the word "extreme" not "injury prone."
-
They'd have to think Seabold was better than their #40. The O's must have felt DHern was better than their #40, so who knows?

Devers signs 11 year $331 million extension

I heard that before, but it wasn't mentioned again. It may bring down the AAV, some. -
Yes, it's the best time to get a deal done, quickly. We just DFA'd DHern, then traded him, days later.
-
I'm not going to argue semantics. "Extreme" seemed a bit to much. I fine with "substantial." Most Sox fans seemed thrilled we signed this "extreme risk."
-
BTV has accepted these two trades and both seem to be liked by people on both sides: This one has 3-0 approval on theMarlin's side and it's 5-1 on the Sox side: Murphy, Dalbec & Seabold for Wendle & Bleier This one is 2-1 Marlins and 3-2 Sox Duran, Brasier, Dalbec & Seabold for Wendle & Bleier This one is 6-0 Sox and 5-0 O's Murphy & Seabold for Jorge Mateo

LF would be sad- CF is frightening.
-
So, that automatically makes him "an extreme injury risk?" True, he has also had hip surgery, but I still don't view him as an extreme injury risk- just a plain old risk.
-
fangraphs has us 12th in CB, but we could pass 2-4 teams with a couple signings or trades for higher salaries: 365 NYM 292 NYY 267 SDP 253 PHI 242 TOR 240 ATL 237 LAD 221 LAA 220 TEX 214 CHC 213 SFG 211 BOS 209 HOU 205 CWS

He'll have to greatly improve his offense to be good enough to DH. I'm not sure the PR role is enough to carry him on anyone's 26 man roster. Was he that bad at 2B? What about moving him back? He's been in the OF long enough to start showing something. I can see why he was held back so long.
-
He keeps putting up decent numbers in the minors, and now speed is more important. He has just 335 PAs in MLB, spread out over 2 seasons and 3 call-ups. His OPS in 2022 was .645, but in today's game, that's almost like the old .700. It's his defense that just plain looks hideous, to me.
-
The talk is which is more deserving of parting ways with the team.
-
It looks that way. That being said, we have a lot of ML ready and recent grads on our roster and in our system, right now. I'm not sure how many GM want these guys, and it looks like keeping our best prospects has been a high priority from before DD's tenure ended. I see 15, maybe more... 6 Recent Grads: Bello Wong Ort Wink Crawford Duran 3 Prospects with ML experience already: Casas Kelly German 6 Prospects expected to reach MLB by season's end: Mata Walter Murphy EValdez Rafaela Ro Hern 2-3 Possibles from... Mayer Abreu Hamilton S Scott Kavadas
-
We are currently about $37M below 2022's CB number. That's basically: 20 Bogey 17 Nate
-
If we sign Andrus or trade for some salary, we may end up in the top 5-7. We know we are setting, so we won't pass anybody going over. That's for sure.
-
It was $185M in 2020 and $208 in 2021. Before that, 2017 was at $192M CB.
-
cots says we have $28M to spend, and why delay the Devers tax hit to 2024, unless we plan ons pending, this season? $28M is enough to sign Andrus, Fulmer and maybe one from Duvall or Profar. We might trade to open roster slots and not need all 4. How about... Dalbec and Ort for Michael A Taylor. Murphy for Wendle Sign Andrus and Fulmer Keep some money for the deadline.
-
Bleis might be number 2, when Casas graduates, but he is too far away. I'm not sure what guys like Lugo and Bonaci bring back in trade, but probably nothing impactful. I'd like to keep Romero, but I get your point. What can we get for Duran & Dalbec?.
-
I honestly think it's better, but guys like Hamilton, EValdez and Dalbec may end up just like Rosario. I don't think I'm kidding myself in thinking our bottom of the roster is greatly improving, thanks in large part to our farm's improvement over the last 3-4 years. Is this our bottom 10, now? Brasier Ort Hamilton EValdez Duran Dalbec Murphy Mills Winckowski Paxton/Crawford/German This was the bottom of the opening day 2019 40 man roster: Chandler Shepherd Sam Travis T-W Lin Lakins Poyner Walden Denyi Reyes DHern Chavis Brewer/Velazquez/BJohnson/Thornburg/Swihart Now, I get that it's easier, in hindsight, to look at the 2019 list and say, "Yuck," but I still like the current bottom 10 better than even the 2019 team that had high hopes on opening day.
-
I actually see it as a sign of roster improvement to think there are now only 2-3 players we can say this about, now. Here's a list I came up with for the bottom of the 40 lists from recent years: 2019: Gorkys Hernandez Chris Owings Trevor Kelly Bobby Poyner Colten Brewer Jhoulys Chacin T-W Lin Juan Centeno Travis Lakins Josh A Smith Marcus Walden Ryan Weber Mike Shawaryn Andrew Cashner Hector Velazquez That's 15 names we had along with Brasier, DHern, Brian Johnson, Hembree, Holt and Leon. Half the roster handed to Bloom were these guys with nobody on the farm, but Houck, Dalbec and Duran. 2020: Some of the same names, but add Kickham, Covey, Brice, Triggs, Chavis, Arauz, Puello, Peraza, Grullo, Chatham, Leyer Last season's bottom of the 40 at the end of the season included: Arauz Bazardo Ro Hernandez Cordero PValdez DSantana TShaw ADavis Seabold

Maybe they saw the same thing on Seabold with Ward. Without knowing all they know, it does look like a mistake. Maybe we get lucky and trade Brasier. Afterall, we got McGuire for Diekman, so stranger things do happen. If we sign someone like Andrus, we will need to DFA another player- or trade one. My guess is Ort goes. I will add that once we get beyond #39 and #40, it's a much better "bottom of the list" than a year, two or three ago.
