Gotta wonder how close these guys are to being promoted: Woo > Boston Casas Duran Seabold Winckowski Bello German (Fitzy, Valdez, Refsnyder and others) POR > Woo Walter Murphy Granberg (Maybe Koss & Hamilton, later) Greenville > POR Binelas Rafaela Lugo Northcut Jimenez McDonough (Maybe Yorke, later on) Salem > GRE Gonzalez Uberstine Kavadas Hickey Mayer Paulino

True dat. Just keeping you on your toes. As you get older, the years kinda blend together.

You said it better than I.

No, I'm also talking about when Bloom took over. People act like he was free to sign Betts for over $300M, and it's on him for trading him away and not re-signing or extending him. My point is, he did not have that choice. I don't think Henry would have approved going over the tax line or totally gutting the rest of the players around Betts. Look at the 2020 season. Bloom spent $40M to fill about 10 slots and we still had one of the worst roster depth team in my memory. Had we used that $40M on Betts, we'd have a team of 20 replacement players going into 2021, too. I'm not buying the idea that Henry did not have set spending limit he gave Bloom over his time here, and that amount was way lower than DD got. Plus, he had very few highly ranked prospects, at the time, to trade and improve the guys around Betts, Bogey & Devers. WE can argue about what we got for Betts, but IMO, he was a gonner before and during Blooms first years here.

German, too. I think Seabold, Winckowski, Duran and Casas are already "ML Ready." Guys like Fitzy, Refsnyder and maybe a couple other fring players.
-
2 games under .500, now, with a chance to pass the CWS, tomorrow. We're 2.5 behind TOR and the final WC slot. May is not even over, yet.
-
I'm not trying to free Bloom of blame, but why not answer the question? Should he have countered with $380M, even if Henry said he had to reset the tax line?
-
It's games like this that get teams to click, although we seemed to be clicking pretty well, before tonight. Just don't lose 2-1, tom orrow.

If you change the sample size to get 30 players at each positions, our rankings look like this: 120+ PAs, except Catcher w 80+ 3rd Devers 3B (28) 3rd Bogey SS (28) 9th Story 2B (30) 17th Vaz out of 28 with 80+ PAs 20th Kike CF (23) (26th out of 29 with 110+ PAs) 23rd JBJ RF (27) 26th Verduo LF (28) (30 out of 32 w 110+ PAs) 32nd Dalbec 1B (32)

Bello went 6 in the 13-2 Woo win. 3 H 2 ER 3 BB 10 K Brasier and German each with a hitless IP. R Hernandez went 4-5 as the DH, but even that only got his season OPS to .477! Duran went 3-5 w a 3B and BB. Fitzy had 2 hits w a 2B and 3 rbi. Portland won 2-1 as Groome looked good: 6 IP 4 H 0 ER 2 BB 9 K Greenville won 9-1, as McDonough, Rafaela, Binelas and Northcut each had 2 hits. Yorke went 1 for 4 w a 2B and BB

Another one of baseball's "unwritten rules."

On Story b atting 6th. It seems Cora really likes the lefty-righty flip-flops in a line-up but accepts the Bogey-JD back-to-back righties right in the middle of the lineup. Here are two possible solutions: 1. Bat Story first and Kike 6th. 2. Bat Story 2nd, behind Kike and have 2 righties 1 & 2, with Devers 3rd, and two righties 4th & 5th (Bogey & JD). Then, the lefty Verdugo bats 6th, if Cordero doesn't win the slot from him..

Vazz- a- doodle-doo!

Beni had 2 years of team control left, and one turned out to be the COVID season.
-
We all have been wrong enough times. Good to see you own up. Has anyone ever done a study on which teams scores the least amount of time with a single and a man on 2B? We gotta be top 5.
-
We scored a cycle our first 4 innings: 4 runs, 2 runs, 1 run, 3 runs (as of now).

Franchy Tuscadero!
-
He missed a big chunk of ST'ing, then was babied a b it by Cora and had some leave time, too. This is basically May 1st for him.
-
He's a smart runner, too.
-
Cease started the day with a 3.09 ERA. It's at 4.24, now.
-
Bogey seems to be in a mini-funk. He's not been terrible, but he's got a .739 OPS in his last 22 games (93 PAs) and .613 in his last 25 PAs, not counting the out in this game.
-
BAM!!! Story is the story!
-
Do you honestly think Henry okay'd Bloom to outbid the Dodgers or extend him before he became a FA at maybe near $380M? It wasn't Bloom's fault DD (and maybe Henry) chose Sale and Eovaldi over Betts.
-
I didn't say Boggs either. I quoted the poster who said "Boggs type." You ranted about Beni's OBP, which is closer to Cordero than Boggs. .415 Boggs (+65) .350 Beni (.341 since trade) .286 Cordero (-64, not counting tonight) Score board charcoal hat glasses.

Pink hats with rose-colored glasses, that is.
