Hader has 2 more years after this. Walker has one. Bryan Abreu is a FA after this year, but he has sucked, so far, Paredes and Pena have 1 more year, after this, so if the rebuild is coming, they could be valuable trade chips. The Astros were known for their complete tear down many years go, when the stockpiled top draft picks for many years, but that might not be the plan, this time.

I think he had only 1 inning at 3B for the Sox, so my statement was unfounded. MIL has used him more at SS (106 innings) than 3B (101) and 2B (26.) He's been negative at SS about at the same level as w BOS.

What a great teammate!

Yes, and when you click on total salary, it re-orders the rankings placing us 12th. Texas has $114M Active and $103M on the IL! They go from 7th to 13th with a simple click.

I guess it's a matter of choice, and we have to pick one methodology to name a rank, but to me this one does not really reflect the commitment to spending or "saving." The Suarez contract pays him $7.6M, this year, but later on he'll make $35M/yr. The AAV is $26M. To me, that's what we spent on him, but I'm not claiming my way is the only way to view this issue. I'm sure some other teams have similar situations, and some teams are paying players more this year than their AAV is, thereby inflating their numbers and perhaps ranking, too. Here are some interesting facts about our payroll: Crochet makes $24,7M, but his AAV is $28.3M. Sonny Gray has a $41M AAV, makes $31M this year, but STL pays $20M of it. Contreras makes $18M, but STL pays $2M of it. His AAV is $21.3M. Story makes $25M, and his AAV is $23.3M (I think he's the only Sox player with a lower AAV than 2026 salary other than Whitlock's $7.5M and $4.7M AAV.) The younger player salary structure really warps the picture: Salary/AAV 2.7/16.3 Anthony 6.2/9.2 Bello 2.3/7.5 Campbell 2.3/6.3 Ceddanne I fully understand the merit of using just 2026 salary, since JH could dump these guys making more money, later, but some context is needed, IMO. I'd say we are about #10 to #12 in spending. Most of us think we should be top 6.

That's because he sucks on D at SS and 3B.

That's not what is funny.

Framber was the guy that threw at his own catcher.

Too funny. 🤣

It's not username Garcia, but yes a dinger. Cespedes is up to .972 after a 3 for 6 night. YRod at .948. Jackson (Grissom trade) went 4 for 5. Azocar is at .881 and Opata walked 4 times to get to .862. No pitching to brag about, tonight.

KC proving you right! Call him up!

Not so sure, now?

It sure looks that way on May 5th.

Probably. That's why I find it hard to be harsh on Brez, when my ideas mostly flopped. (I think the same is true for those who wanted Alonso & Breggie, but it's all still TBD.)

There is no way HOU trades Yordan. They may actually extend him.

As long as it's not Fred.

Framber had a .625 OPS Against before tonight's game.

15 runs in the last 7 innings! Who is this team?

The whole league sucks, though. This could be the year suck makes it to the big dance.

I'm fine with this idea.

Okay. Usually the term "rushing" a player back implies that maybe it was before he was ready. I'm not sure 3.5 GB a WC slot is time to tank, anyway.

Well, Cora was an analytics guy and a firm believer in scheduling days off weeks ahead, so I don't think he was just a robot.

Seems like Cora never left, when it comes to line-ups, positioning players and playing time.
