    I think it is, but it's not a great way to help them. Some players get stuck in a system, and a change of scenery gives them more opportunities. Some just get stuck on the ML roster and get little playing time.

    Trade him!

    No love for the best of 'em all? WONG!

    I was thinking more about trading some lower redundancy- like Lugo, Bonaci or Downs. We need a young catcher and OF'ers more than 7th sting SSs. That's not to downplay the need to have depth at 2B/SS.
  6. moonslav59
    Indeed. We also have Mayer down the road, so Story, Mayer and Yorke up he middle. (Maybe Yorke changes positions.) I realize many players begin at SS and move off position, but we seem to now have a backlog at 2B/SS, even if Bogey moves on from Boston. Maybe we trade one, perhaps with other pieces for a good young catcher. (Maybe we just extend Vaz.) SS/2B in system Bogey Story Arroyo 2. Mayer 3. Yorke 5. Downs 21. McDonough 22. Bonaci 24.

    ...and satellites to the satellites.

    AGon certainly "handled" Boston, well. His exit might have been slightly related to the whole crapola thing that went down in the clubhouse, but you are right on AGon.
  9. moonslav59
    Now, some will think we are the same poster!
  10. moonslav59
    Are you being sarcastic?
  11. moonslav59
    If they were losing money, every year, they wouldn't be selling them at enormous profits. I know this is not always true or a real bell weather, but the money these guys make when the decide to cash it all in, is usually incredible.
  12. moonslav59
    Spoken by the master, himself.
  13. moonslav59
    "The market" (media & fans) soured on these guys, and not just because of injuries.
  14. moonslav59
    Yup, and there are satellite companies owned by team owners that make tons of money off the team. (Like ownership in the cable company showing the games, concessions and memorabilia, etc...)
  15. moonslav59
    Both spent like maniacs, this winter!
  16. moonslav59
    Price did have issues with the "market," too. Pablo sucked, here. AGon did well, but was thought to be part of beergate. Renteria was hurt that one year that cost us about $40M. CC did not come close to what he did in his recent years with the Rays. HRam did okay, but that injury messed him up, and he petered out at the very end. Our last biggest deals have largely been failures to varying degrees. It's easy to understand the uneasiness with wanting to go large and long on anyone.
  17. moonslav59
    Worm can re-opened.
  18. moonslav59
    They'd sure like to think that.

    Eovaldi had exceed expectations, after his signing, despite missing sometime that first contract season. Not only has he pitched more games and innings than most thought he would, he'd done as good or better than at any time in his career. He wasn't over the hill, when we signed him. His contract years run from age 29-32, so that is basically prime. ERA+ by team 96 LAD (age 21-22) 1.440 WHIP 93 MIA (age 22-24) 1.363 94 NYY (25-26) 1.387 97 TBR (28) 0.982 115 BOS (28-31 with age 32 to go) 1.280 His 127 ERA+ since 2020 is right up there with the best. In 2021, he led the league in GS (32) and FIP (2.79).

    Sale runs with scissors in each hand and in his pockets.
  21. moonslav59
    No doubt, but like I said, nobody is happy about needing to replace Eovaldi with some one who projects to do what he has just done at just $17M/yr going forward.
  22. moonslav59
    Close to Moncada money- more with inflation figured in (same with Dice-K, who also had an enormous posting fee/bid)
  23. moonslav59
    Yes, it's just one, and as a RHB, he'd likely get more action than Duran would. I doubt the A's take Downs for Manaea & Piscotty, let alone adding Trivino, but they might take Jordan for the 3.
  24. moonslav59
    Who is happy about that $17M coming off the books? He is mentioned when we say how much money is coming off the books, but replacing him and Bogey for $17 and $20M will not be easy.
  25. moonslav59
    Indeed, and the systm has changed to not allow for that anymore. I mentioned that, too, but there are still cases like Suzuki where we keep missing out. We paid Dice-K.
