    It's a gauge of how much power so meone has per a full season. If he plays 120 games, we can figure about 12-13 Hrs.

    I said, I'm higher on Mata than Crawford or Wink. I said I see Bello as a 2/3 type. That's not "high" enough? Yes, Walter just turned 26 days ago, but I like him more than Wink and Seabold. Probably Crawford, too.

    And, Ted Williams with that massive RF. He'd have hit .400 a few times. It's not really fair to them and the integrity of records to take the shift away. I know, I know, things have always changed in baseball, like the 162 game season, actual OF walls, specialization of pitching staffs... If a batter always hits the ball in one area, you should be able to position yourself there. The pitch clock and robo umps will quicken and clean up the game as much as needed. Leave the rest alone.

    I agree. We need to work on OBP more than power, but power is also a concern.
  5. moonslav59
    Sounds about right. Maybe Crawford and Wink end up being 2-3 inning RP'ers- possibly avoiding many high leverage situations. I do think Bello could become a solid #2/3 type. I'm also higher on Mata than Wink and Crawford. I like Walter, a lot, but he may be a late 2023 addition. (75 Ks and 7 BBs in 58 IP)

    bingo!

    Even if Crow-Armstrong does next to nothing, they did not lose the trade, IMO.
  9. moonslav59
    How about Seabold? (I agree, totally. This was there first serious look at the bigs.)
  10. moonslav59
    I think there is not doubt major moves will be made. It's just a question of them working or not.
  11. moonslav59
    They say the votes are largely ceremonial.
  12. moonslav59
    I'm all for the pitch clock and robo umps. The shift has been part of baseball for decades. It does not slow the game down. It gets outs, so the game goes faster by more than it takes for players to move.

    The money saved trading Beni forced Bloom to sign Renfroe. (Or, you could claim Marwin.)

    Ward had a good night: 5IP 4H 0ER 2BB 5K (2.43 ERA) Abreu walked again! I think that's 105 or 106 on the season (2 Hits, too) Kavadas 3Ks (0-4) down to .723 in AA Mayer's HR and 2-4 brought him to .753, so far.
  15. moonslav59
    The shift is not "innovative:" it's just used way more. I agree, it's a stupid move by MLB.
  16. moonslav59
    He was so amazing: 10 years leading the league in OPS, and the all time highest career OBP of .482
  17. moonslav59
    Almost certain to see these changes... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/09/competition-committee-to-vote-on-proposed-2023-rule-changes-on-friday.html Too bad there is no robo ump vote.

    How many Wacha types get offered a QO and how many
  19. moonslav59
    A lot of time on that one, too- just spread out more.
  20. moonslav59
    I was thinking the same thing. The QO- taken- would help to reset, in 2024, but if Wacha is the real deal, now, keeping him makes a lot of sense. I'm not even sure about offering Nate a QO, but apparently many feel it's a 100% certain. (I'm fine with it, but I'd rather we spend elsewhere.) $10M Kike $18M Wacha $18M Nate That's $46M out of the $70-80 I think we will have to spend, and we haven't done anything to change the team, and we still need a SS, DH, (maybe RF) P, P, P...
  21. moonslav59
    It's funny how some don't even want us to offer him one.
  22. moonslav59
    I've already answered this, and that's assuming he thinks he can get a $40M/3 offer. Most pitchers have a very high belief in themselves. They would not have made it this far without that. Yes, they listen to their agents- well, most of them do, but if he puts up another good year, he can make much more next winter. Think of it this way, assume he can get a $40M/3 offer. What you are basically saying is he has to think he can't get a $13M/2 offer after 2023's season at $18M is over. Hell, he made $7M/1 after a few pretty "off years" in a row.
  23. moonslav59
    The way I see it, JBJ + Binelas for nothing would have still been a bad trade for us- even at the time of the deal. That leaves Hamilton for Renfroe, an even worse deal. It's just bad, bad, bad.
  24. moonslav59
    Why not PH Bogey? (I know why.)
  25. moonslav59
    I said "per year."
