True, but he did have an fWAR season of 1.5 and 1.9, too, and our OF has had some below average players for a few years. He's a very good fielder and much cheaper than JBJ.

That's the thing about making judgments on these types of trades after just 2-3 years.

I felt the same way. The only "direction" seemed to be to try and hold onto relevancy for another season with little done to improve the longer outlook, except adding ERod and Kelly. As it turned out, Porcello (via Cespedes), Kelly and ERod all helped us win in 2028.

It's hard to figure he knows anything of value or otehrwise.

Bello went 5 for his third win with Woo. 5 H 2 ER 4 BB (kinda rare) 6 K He now has a 3.18 ERA in AAA. Feliz went 2 scoreless in relief. Feltman 1 walk/hitless inning. (2K) German 1 hitless inning (1 BB/ 2K)

I always wondered what Papi and Manny's numbers would have looked like, if they had flipped them in the batting order.

...and a few others. (Not that there may not be some truth to the position.)

The guy STORK has been bashing Bloom for not getting, Berrios, now has a 5.61 ERA.

You may need a lot of luck.

True, but he was good enough to play in our OF for years before now.

I agree, and maybe the change in direction will not be away from FA signings, but only away from large and long ones. I'm thinking the Story deal might be as large and long as we go, and even then, not very often.

We could sure use a .256 OF'er whom plays plus D. The time is almost up on some of the prospects' years of team control, and it doesn't look like anyone of DD;s traded is going to make a big surprise. As it turned out, DD kept Devers and a few others look to be better than the vast majority of prospects he traded. It worked out for DD, because one, we won a ring and had 3 first place finishes, and two, the prospects he chose to trade away have not lived up to the hype. Thirdly, he drafted pretty well for having crappy picks and a restricted IFA spending pool. That being said, we can't assume every farm is going to peter out like much of that one did. We also can't assume we choose the right ones to trade, next time. I still think the best idea is to keep most of your best prospects in hopes a few can add some very low cost value to the 26 man roster, and maybe a trade, here and there, when needed badly. Many times, it has worked keeping our homegrown stars and solid role players.

Jimenez went 3 for 5 and seems to be finding his offense. (It too a while!)

Is he ahead of Seabold and Bello? He better careful Walter doesn't pass him. BTW, Groome got drilled, today. 2 IP, 6 H, 8 ER, 1 BB, 1 K 4 HR

May 29th Orioles & Red Sox

He thought that was the expectation. -
At the time of those trades, I was upset that they "played it half way." They did not really restock the farm, except for ERod for Miller. They just added quantity and more years of control for quality. Kinda like the Betts trade. Remember, we traded 2 months of Lester. When you think of it that way, a year and 2 months of Cespedes for 2 months of Lester doesn't look as bad. Same with a year of Betts (60 games, actually) for 5 years of Verdugo.
-
The Rays don't do that a whole lot, but probably more than most teams. To me, their best aspect was knowing the precise time to unload a player- mostly pitchers, and it wasn't always during their walk year. So many times, they trade a guy, and the almost immediately drop off a cliff. (They usually do well on the return of ML or near ML prospects.) Secondly, they seem to very well adding journeymen-type players to their roster who go on to have a career year or two. They are not know for having great drafts or IFA signings.

You'd think he'd have had time to practice with MLB baseballs.

Don't look now, but Cordero is over .800 (.817) -

I've said for a while now, Cordero should play more in the OF, assuming Dalbec starts hitting or we add a 1Bman. The problem is, he bats lefty like all the rest of 'em (except Kike.) -
It's hard to imagine the solution being to never sign or extend anyone to large & long contracts, but maybe it can work. The plan revolves around having prospects give you 4-6 years like Devers, Betts, Bogey and others. A Sox plan would also have to include getting some star pitching from their own system.
-
Cespedes did still have one more year of team control than Lester did, and we flipped him for Porcello. Craig was a gamble that failed to pay off. Kelly was thought to be a solid pitcher, at the time. The Miller for ERod deal worked well. I forget who we got for Peavy & Doubront.
