  1. All part of baseball's rich history.
  2. I think I have usually waited until the trade deadline, unless we are out of it before then.
  3. Recent numbers from our starters: 0.00 (11K: 4 BB( last 3 starts (13.0 IP) Hill 1.25 (15K: 8 BB) last 4 starts (21.2 IP) Wacha 2.28 (23K: 4 BB) last 4 starts (23.2 IP) Nate 2.97 (23K: 6 BB) last 4 starts (15.0 IP) Whitlock 3.00 (19K: 4 BB) last 3 starts (15.0 IP) Pivetta
  4. I shoulda put it in green.
  5. I'm not good at predicting what FAs will get, but I think Bogey gets $200M/6 or more.
  6. We gave them Betts to cancel out just half of Price's deal, we should get something thrown in, too.
  7. That was absurd, especially in light of what Baez and Story got. I think we have to view that contract as an outlier, but maybe Bogey is not viewing it that way.
  8. I'm not so sure. Maybe if Wacha and Hill remain out for longer than expected. Pivetta seems to be turning things around. I guess, maybe if he costs nothing, he might be the 5th starter until and if Paxton or Sale ever return, this season. Make Houck and Whitlock the 1-3 inning closers.
  9. Semien is older than Bogey (20.4 bWAR 2018-2022)
  10. It's hard to know. If you go by the Baez and Story comps, $200M/6 is too high, but I think he's got better name recognition and maybe the ability to generate more fan excitement than the two similar comps that signed, this winter. fWAR from 2018-2022 17.4 Bogey (18.7 bWAR) 16.6 Baez (18.8 bWAR) 15.8 Story (19.5 bWAR) 15.6 Semien 15.1 Correa (who is younger) 10.3 Seager (who is younger)
  11. Would he be given a starting slot, here?
  12. Like he paid Wacha and Hill less than Richards and Perez? Like Schreiber & Strahm less than Ottavino & Andriese?
  13. Hard Hit % 32 Devers 31 Bogey 30 JD 29 Cordero 28 Arroyo 27 JBJ 26 Kike 25 Vaz 24 Dugo & Plawecki 21 Dalbec 20 Story LD% 29 JD 26 Devers 25 Bogey 22 Vaz 19 JBJ 18 Cordero 17 Dalbec, Kike & Story 16 Dugo 13 Arroyo 8 Plawecki
  14. Mrs. Price, only.
  15. SP: Syndergaard, Nate, deGrom ($30.5M option), Wacha, Stripling, Bassitt, Manaea, Musgrove, Hill, Taillon, Clevinger, Eflin, K Gibson, Greinke, Wainwright RP: too many to list C: Willson Contreras/ Omar Narvaez 1B: (I think we go with Casas, if he's not traded) Abreu 2B: Kike, A frazier, B Drury LF: Beni, Brantley, Pederson CF: Kike, Kiermayer, Nimmo RF: Judge DH, JD, Brantley
  16. Assuming Wacha and Hill are doing well, and Kike turns things around, we might get some very nice pieces for them, too.
  17. He played for my Bucks for a few years- a bit past his prime but still did very well for us.
  18. R.I.P. Bob Lanier He was a great one.
  19. Stacking the farm would also allow for trading some of the farm to fill some gaps that might be too expensive or risky to fill via gree agency- like finding a good young catcher. I'm not quite ready to start seriously looking at fire sale possibilities. It's too early for that, but I do think our extended future could be greatly enhanced with a mega fire sale and a busy winter.
  20. I think we might make strong runs at Devers and Nate. I think the others walk. I think JD will sign for significantly less than $40M/2- maybe $40M/3 or $30M/2. I would not be surprised to see Kike back, either. Wacha might become too expensive. Finding a good catcher won't come cheap. It will be interesting to see who offers Bogey the most, and if it will be over $200M/8. Do you offer Bogey $200M/8 and tell him he's playing 2B, or do you stick with Story at 2B?
  21. The starter ERA is 2.79 without Pivetta. OPS Against as a starter: .467 Wacha .622 Hill .627 Whitlock .663 Houck .702 Nate .795 Pivetta As a RP'er .304 Schreiber .384 Whitlock .411 Strahm .556 Valdez .588 Robles .647 Danish .651 Sawamura .714 Brasier .721 Davis .745 Houck .782 Barnes .857 Diekman .997 Crawford Take away those bottom 3, and the other 11 have prettyb decent to great OPS Against numbers. 11 should be enough to work with, when we have an 8 man pen. If our starters ever get all healthy at the same time, our pen could be okay or better.
  22. We all are hoping Story become a story for a better reason. Maybe this is the game we look back on as the turning point. One game at a time,
  23. He was pretty far down the totem pole before tonight.
  24. The pen has done better than the starters almost equally, this year- game by game. Maybe they are over their rough patch. Now, let's hope the bats are over theirs!!!
  25. I'm not trying to start something, but someone ripped me to shreds for saying close to this same thing a while back about Story after a 3-4 game streak and a ball hit hard that was almost a HR off the high left-center field wall. I won't name names.
