Hitting, too.

Who gets the most innings from these groups: A) Eovaldi or Pivetta Houck or Whitlock C) Sale or Paxton D) Wacha or Hill E) Barnes, Diekman, Taylor or Brasier F) Strahm, Davis, DHern, Robles or Sawamura G) Crawford, Seabold, Winckowski or Bello H) Valdez, Holland, Bazardo

Even if he misses part or all of the season, he'll opt out or extend. -
I'd love to keep them both, but if I had to choose just one to keep, I'd keep the younger Devers. Now that we have another SS in the fold, injury permitting, it seems even more likely that Devers could be the higher priority. Man, it sure sucks thinking Betts & Bogey leaving before peak prime. I'm just not sure we can afford (after 2022)... $29M x ? Devers $27M x ? Bogey $26M x 4 Sale $23M x 5 Story $??M x ? for Eovaldi or his replacment
-
I can't see Bogey settling for anything less than $25M x 6 or 7 years. He (BorA$$) might start at $30M x 9.

I once saw Manny make a play, high five a fan and throw out a runner. He was the best fielding OF'er of all time.

He's the best defensive SS in MLB!

BTV has Story at a -7 value. That's actually pretty good for a newly signed big FA. While BTV has some holes in their system, they have been pretty accurate on actual trades made and balanced values. It seems strange they have Houck at 48.8 and Whitlock at 16.6. Basically, it would take trading 3 Whitlocks to get 1 Houck. Our BTV values for pitchers: 48.8 Houck 16.6 Whitlock 11.9 Sale 11.7 Eovaldi 10.3 Bello 8.8 Pivetta 6.6 Gonzalez 5.0 Taylor 4.6 Winckowski 4.4 Walter 3.8 Mata 3.5 Groome 3.4 Crawford 2.9 Seabold 1.7 Paxton 1.5 Liu 1.1 Ward 1.0 Song 2.2 Murphy

It's been a long time for one: two would be like winning the lottery!
-
Houck has positive experiences starting in the bigs. Whitlock has the three pitches and seems to have all the tools and make-up to be a good starter. Maybe Wacha and or Hill end up in the pen. Maybe Paxton...
-
You sure "hear" things funny.
-
I switch my foils up between AM & PM.
-
All last year, they said they were stretching our Whitlock. He looks like Gumby, now.
-
You should know. One of my accounts is mvp 78.
-
No crickets, here. I'd prefer Whitlock, but both are good enough to start, and both will likely do well as starters. The 2 pitch issue is real. The 3rd time through the line-up is real, but so many starters, these days, are yanked after 2 times through, so it's not such a big deal anymore, to me. If we had a stronger pen, I'd like Houck & Whitlock starting. Also, when we give our opinions, we don't claim Cora & Co. will go with out ideas.
-
Potential, yes, but he ain't past the big two, yet.
-
Small career sample size, but DHern has one of the best K/9 rates in MLB history. Too bad he walks so many, too.
-
Worry about Sale, now Taylor, Bogey's hand, Story's elbow, JD's age regression, Vaz's overuse, and on and on...
-
remember how Manny missed teh start of ST'ing by using "My grandmother died" like 7 times?
-
...and he's wrong. He picked and chose one or two statements from my view on the Story signing and often misses the whole picture and context.
-
DHern has not really been improving in the role he's been given. Maybe changing it up might work.
-
I hear you, especially on Sale. Some possible deals yet to be made for 2022 might have some of those blanks spots on the '23 matrix in mind.
