That’s been my point all along, and here’s where I trust him more than myself and others viewpoints on the likelihood either of the prospects do something positive for the big club someday. -
Aside from 2020 it’s clear. OPS+ over 118 in 2015 and 2016 and never above 92 in the next 4 full seasons. BWAR: 5.4 3.8 2.5 2.0 2.0 (short season) -0.7 You don’t see a decline beyond 2020 to 2021?
-
You left out the money part that will prohibit us from signing a better player or two.
-
Renfroe was not a salary dump like JBJ. We could have traded him for a cheaper RFer or a RPer
-
Years ago. I still like the guy and love the defense, but he’s not at the same level anymore. Are we supposed to hate our favourite players as they decline? Can I be honest about what player he is now?
-
I guess age matters. Okay, maybe .700 would not be a big surprise. Would it surprise you, if he hit .600-.650?
-
I get the defense and prospects, and maybe that will outweigh the other aspects, but JBJ’s offensive decline stretches longer than 2021. Counting a decent season in the 60 game 2020 season does not change the fact that his offence has not been very good for 4-5 years, now. Sure, he’s young enough to still possibly have another decent year in him, but the bounce back argument rings hallow to me. He can improve by 100-150 points over 2021 and still be a negative on offense. Yes, Renfroe may likely be near even in 2022 production per dollar, but JBJ will more likely be an overall negative than Renfroe, and I’d say much more likely. The odds are not even close. It has to be about the prospects and defense.
-
I wouldn’t say scratching my head at one move out if dozens and dozens shows distrust. I don’t like the move, but I trust he knows more than I do. BTW, I’ve liked several of his moves that ended up flipping. Does that count for anything?
-
We did see one of the most exciting signing weeks in ML history.
-
I did not forget the Renfroe offset, and if Renfroe does well in ‘22, he’ll make even more in his last arb year. I still think it’s a gross overpay, unless the prospects do well, or JBJ surprises us with a .700+ season, or Renfroe stinks up the place. BTW, you don’t “have to” offset JBJs contract with Renfroe’s, since we could have just traded Renfroe for a lower paid RF’er.
-
I trust Bloom, but to me this was a head scratcher. Maybe it’s just lice.
-
Bloom had to think the prospects out weighed the money anfJBJs defense outweighed Renfroe’s offense. Or something close to that. I’m still scratching my head.
-
I’m just saying your statement was not similar to Ottavino. To trade JBJ, we’d have to pay a big chunk of his deal which involves a ridiculous buy out after 2022 OR give a prospect with him to get next to nothing back, IMO. (not both)
-
That’s not what the Ottavino trade was like. The Yanks did pay a tiny part of his contract, but they gave us a prospect to take the rest of his salary of their hands. We’d have to give a prospect with JBJ. It ain’t happening no matter how much some of us wish it could.
-
With Vaz being a free agent after 2022, the back up catching position is a little more meaningful.
-
I eat granola while viewing splits.
-
ERods bWAR and fWAR have been very far apart. FWAR has 2021 as ERid’s best season while bWAR has 2029 more than 3 x better than 2021!
-
Sometimes I mention it as an option but not always one I want. I do like Arroyo when he’s healthy, and his splits are almost equal v L and R. I do pay attention to splits more than most.
-
Kike playing musical chairs between CF and 2B was the reality of 2021. I’m not sure it’s a stretch to imagine it happening in 20222. For the record, and you should know this, I want Kike in CF full time.
-
Close to 99% there will be games by May 1st.
-
They could trade Plawecki, or he could get hurt or suck enough to get replaced. Or Vaz could get hurt.
-
Big if, but if Arroyo stays healthy, he may play 2B full time as Duran sits vs LHPs and maybe even vs RHPs.
-
Let’s hope the RPers we add this winter end up better than Andriese and Sawamura.
-
Agreed. The second best chance of a prospect winning a ft or platoon slot might be Duran, but batting left makes a platoon role look like a long shot. Maybe Wong or Hernández could beat out Plawecki as the back up catcher.
-
If a youngster is doing well enough and is ML ready, we’ll have plenty of open slots for him or them.
