  1. I believe that is the reason, tonight, but I'd keep him there. He's better v RHPs than Verdugo and this whole L-R-L thing is over-rated. Who is afraid of LOOGIEs anymore?
  2. So, choose the best one... DEVERS FOREVERS!
  3. He's gotta lead the league in RBI per PA, or close...
  4. The 5th slot is actually more important than the 4 slot. Keep Story 5th, even v righties.
  5. Lots of hellos, this inning.
  6. Our 1Bmen have a a whopping .686 OPS since May 13th! (.693 since May 14th)
  7. Yes, but it makes sense vs RHPs, too.
  8. So, there is no "perfect world."
  9. If you think of the most reasonable (and realistic) deals imaginable, what would we have left over to fill the other holes we have?
  10. This also means they only have 6 left vs them.
  11. Wacha v Keuchek LHP 1. Kike 2. Devers 3. JD 4, Bogey 5. Story (finally up 5th) 6. Verdugo 7. Vaz 8, Dalbec 9. Arroyo
  12. I agree. Wachas sometimes are Martin Perez's and Richards, too.
  13. Indeed. My point was based on the idea that Sale would Chris Freakin' Sale for 4 years and his a contract for $145M/4 for that Chris Sale is not unreasonable. They gave him $145M/5, and appear to be very wrong on the assumption he'd return to form and for 4 years. I'm not trying to compare Verlander to Sale. THere are way to many differences between them, including length of deals, but the Atsros gave Verlander $66M/2 and he gave them 6 IP over those 2 years. They were not all that deterred and gave him $25M/1 for this year. I guess we are not the only team wishing an aging pitcher can keep pitching very well. Not everyone is a Scherzer.
  14. Agreed, and I'm fine with the Kelly choice, but I'd prefer to see Houck moved to closer and a Seabold/Winckowski call-up to fill in the long man/piggy back pitcher that Houck is, now.
  15. I think the money they gave Sale factored in an expected missed season. They also factored in he'd be Chris freakin' Sale the other 4 years and not Freakin' Chris Sale.
  16. I'm thinking German might be a better choice than Kelly.
  17. We have a super tough stretch from June 24 to August 2nd. We better be ahead of someone by the 24th.
  18. Sounds about right. What happened to Valdez. The guy looked good for along time, had one bad game (maybe 2) and was demoted. He's been in AAA ever since. I think he's pitched ab oyt 6 innings. Is he hurt? He's gotta be better than the DFA division.
  19. A 4/5 starter sounds just about right for a long relief man.
  20. Yes, but they don't make the ML min salary. The player benefits, which is about $16M also counts on the lux tax budget, so if your subtract that plus what you pay the 14 guys in the minors, the percent you pay your highest paid guys looks even higher.
  21. Story should bat 5th.
  22. Thanks. I’m very achy and congested with post nasal drip. Slight in productive cough caused by PND. The gave me paxlovid
  23. I’m on my cellphone at the doc’s. So pardon my typos. I have Covid!
  24. Like is already showing signs of life. Verdugo is an enigma.
