    You really think they thought he was good at 2B defense and were surprised? Let me spell it out for you: They knew he was bad, but they've gone with bad before. They hoped his offense would overshadow the bad D, and maybe (just maybe) he was actually worse on D than they thought. We all know the offense never made up for jack. IMO, his best spot might be DH, but he may become passable in LF, but we have 4 OF'ers plus Masa, so he's squeezed. Of course, there is no squeeze, unless he starts hitting and puts pressure on deserving another look-see. That may or may not ever happen. My point was they knew he was bad and that was precisely why the shuffled him around so much, which is why I said "huh?" to this statement: If they knew he'd be that bad, they wouldn't have shuffled him around as much as they did.

    Impressive- for sure.

    Total eclipse of my brain.
  5. moonslav59
    Huh? Once they found out he was worse than they knew, the shuffled him around- yes.

    There's got to be a t least 50 shades of Gray.

    Night game, so we're going with Moonie Gray.

    You've really gone to the SSS a lot, in recent months.

    Key word "can." He's an "athletic guy," we kept hearing. Nobody thought KC was already a good defender at 2B on opening day 2025, and no that's not praising managements for being geniuses. Now, maybe they didn't expect him to look that bad, but they knew. Ohhhhh, they knew!

    Mostly elusive, for sure.
  11. moonslav59
    It's almost like we have too much RH'd hitting, now, except none are really great.
  12. moonslav59
    Yes. The fact is, he's had decent power.

    Not buffoons is not equal to brainiacs, but we've read this lack of vocabulary story before.

    I see 28 per 655, but good point. (2019-2025)
  15. moonslav59
    No love for RHB Durbin?
  16. moonslav59
    I know people like to think management is made up of buffoons, but everybody and their grandma knew KC as an awful defender all along. Maybe they hope his athleticism would help him improve, over time, but they knew from day one and even before day one.

    I think they knew he sucked and thought he could hit his way above it all. Afterall, this is the team that went with E Valdez for almost the same amount of time.

    What are we in middle school?

    Fangraphs projected 2026 RP fWAR 2.3 Miller 2.1 Duran 1.9 Jax 1.9 C Smith 1.7 Chapman 1.7 Diaz 1.5 Abreu 1.4 Hader 1.3 Whitlock 23 teams don't have a closer with a higher projected FWAR than Whitlock. Only Hader/Abreu have a higher projected fWAR as a #2. Last year's FWAR leaders: 2.7 Cade Smith 2.6 Chapman 2.2 Whitlock

    What wagon and what hitch? I'm fine with Thaiss, and due to the optout issues, I'd add him and option Wong, for now.

    B-R shows "80" from 2021-2023. I'd don't see OPS+ on this data. Seasons Age Team WAR G PA AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB CS BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS OPS+ rOBA Rbat+ TB GIDP HBP SH SF IBB 2021-2023 25-27 BOS 2.4 159 473 432 66 100 29 3 10 44 8 2 28 157 .231 .288 .382 .670 80
  22. moonslav59
    Since Thaiss has the opt out clause, I'd think keeping him around makes more sense. Wong has options, so let's use one.
  23. moonslav59
    I guess we see things differently on this.
  24. moonslav59
    If you knew what that big word meant, I might take your post seriously.
  25. moonslav59
    I'd project 22-25 HRs for Willson.
