    A Catcher who can hit and is healthy could start 90-120 games at Catcher and another 35-45 as the DH. If Rut is 100% healthy, I could see us DH'ing him some, but if Yoshida keeps doing well, maybe not. (We could see Yoshida in LF, if we bench or sit Duran more.)

    I'll get started on the Part II thread soon. We sure have a bunch of new faces in key slots than we had on opening day. Hell, the IL has... C Rutschman 1B Casas 2B Mead SS Story 3B Mayer... ooops... not anymore... IKF OF Anthony SP Crochet, Houck, Crawford, Oviedo RP Kelly
  3. moonslav59
    I'm still waiting for a SP'er.
  4. moonslav59
    Does the league come out and say, "The trades are done?"
  5. moonslav59
    I doubt Uberstine does anything, and the guy we got, too.
  6. moonslav59
    Hey, the Sox also got LHB Carlos Gutierrez for Mayer. He's a single A OF'er who has hit over .825 in 4 seasons.
  7. moonslav59
    The big plus for Hicks was the pre-arb status. If he kept getting batter at bat, he could even DH. Maybe Rut can, too.
  8. moonslav59
    In his career: 80 BBs in 130 IP. (Only 97 hits makes up for some, but I dislike watching RP'ers walk about 2 guys every 3 innings.
  9. moonslav59
    Anyone know how good the players traded for Mize were? He's a guy I'd like have seen us get. (Holmes, too.)
  10. moonslav59
    Okay. Players do get healthy. Players don't healthy.
  11. moonslav59
    Yanks ended up getting Heliot Ramos, so they did pull a Bloom.
  12. moonslav59
    I'm not excited about a 6.1 BB/9 rate. We had that with DHern. True on Mayer. There is a chance Miller hurts us, while Mayer did nothing more good or bad for us.
  13. moonslav59
    I've said all along, I'm fine with rolling the dice at middle infield and LF/DH, if we get a real bat at Catcher. We got one, if he can just play 75-80% of the games.
  14. moonslav59
    I was very high on KMarte, last year. I'm not so high anymore. I like Mead and I like Early about the same. We needed hitting. Mayer-Miller is a lower-level trade that may not matter at all.
  15. moonslav59
    Certainly, the deal is TBD. Trading 2, 3 and 6 ranked prospects from a highly regarded farm system for a player on the IL and who has played in just 58% of his games since 2025 seems like an overpay. You expect to overpay on deadline deals, especially for the better players. Let's see how it goes. We replaced our worst bat- the guy even worse than Duran, Story, Mayer and everyone else. OPS+ 53 Narvaez 55 Story 64 Duran 70 Mayer (He's gone too.) 95 Seigler 97 Anthony Rut is at 115 in 2026 and 115 career.
  16. moonslav59
    Word is Hicks sucks on defense, but the guy has hit well and been healthy. He's also still pre-arb! He's almost at .800 and on pace for 20+ HRs. Gotta like the .363 OBP.
  17. moonslav59
    Padres got Mize. DAMN! Any more trades not called yet?
  18. moonslav59
    We also traded Vaz for Abreu, and many more good trades for prospects. I'm glad we got a catcher. It was the position that made the most sense, to me. I think we overpaid for sure, but these deals have to be. The question is was it a gross overpay or an absurdly gross overpay? If yes to the second Q, then it sucks. Yes, to the first one might be okay. If none of the guys we gave up ever do well, it might not matter what Rut does. It's a push or better.
  19. moonslav59
    Of course not. Do YOU believe Rut plays more than 58% of the remaining games on his contract? That's the percent from 2025 to today, and he's on the IL, now. Narvaez looked good, last year. He could regain form, but it's highly doubtful. Eyanson looks like the real deal. I know you gotta give to get, but why Witherspoon and Azocar, too? You can't just hand out countless lottery tickets and expect none to win. BTW, I'm gonna sleep on this trade before making my decision, but as of now, I'm highly skeptical.
  20. moonslav59
    Nate Lowe has better numbers and is not on the IL. Look, I get your point, but is any package too much for you? Taylor Ward his 36 jacks last year and has a .383 OBP this year.
  21. moonslav59
    There is an actual chance Narvaez outplays Rut. Highly doubtful, but not insane, if Rut keeps on the IL. We gave up 3 of our top 6 prospects, and our farm is ranked highly. These guys might have been #1, #3 and #4 on many teams.
  22. moonslav59
    For a lefty RP'er with a high BB/9 rate. How his stock did fall! Times up! Do we still have Duran? Did we get a SP'er?
  23. moonslav59
    Who cares about them? Yanks, Rays and some NL teams, maybe. We just need to improve the team and keep this mojo rising.
  24. moonslav59
    Miller has walked 80 batters in 130 career IP. Good thing he's allowed just 97 hits (9 HRs) or he'd really suck. Career 3.05 ERA for the lefty with a 3.66 FIP. 2026: 2.76/3.34 but 6.1 BB/9. The 12.4 K/9 is nice. Miller has 3 arbs left.
  25. moonslav59
    Am I missing something, or have we given the best package of prospects and players of any trade, today?
