    We wanted him. There are several points to be made here: 1) We could trade him for equal salary from a position of need (RP?) 2) We signed him for $3.1M coming off a .645 short season in 2020 and .778 in 2019. (.749 from 2019-2020 in 633 PA) 3) He had one of the best RBI/PA on the Sox. (32 HRs & 99 RBI over the full season plus playoffs) 4) If we can't trade him for scraps, why offer him the estimated $7M arb?

    Can we trade balls and strike called by robo umps to eliminating the ability to challenge those plays?

    If someone views JD's scond half of the season as evidecne his decline is real on likely to continue, maybe the nice playoffs lessens that belief enough to sway a GM to sign him to longer or larger thatn they would have otehrwise. No way will he get a deal as long as Pablo's, but I do think his playoff numbers will help. While it was just 38 PAs, that 1.130 OPS likely helped him. He also hit .899 in his last 121 PAs of 2021, so if you add the playoffs, he was over .950 in his last 160 PAs of 2021. Likely enough to get him to opt out.

    They could trade Renfroe.

    Me, too, despite the fact that Houck has experience starting. I'd like to keep both in the pen, but with the price of quality SP'ers, I doubt that happens. Having two proven, quality long men in the pen, is a nice advantageous aspect of a staff.

    The 26th roster spot changed things, too. Do you think someone takes Jimenez? If BTV is right about their 10.8 value on Jimenez, maybe someone will. I will say, I'd rather keep Jimenez than Rosario, Potts, Arauz and maybe a couple others. I don't think he'll get selected, but I'm not sure what the odds would need to be that he gets picked for me to decide to protect him. Maybe 25%?

    It seems some GMs actually fall in love with players that do well in the playoffs, so maybe that might sway someone to forget the second half and think, "JD is back!"

    The other thing that happens all to often, is fans start thinking the main reason they lost the last few games of the playoffs is the area they need to fix mostly, that winter. The flip side is that we need to keep all the playoff stars of the ring team. (Like Pearce) Often times, the reason you lose in the playoffs matches your actually weakest area, but not always.

    It's not just money. Fans like to see more playoff games. Some barely watch the season but watch nearly all the playoffs. More teams in the playoffs does make more money, but it also keeps more fans interested perhaps at the expense of the better teams not winning due to the long road to a ring.

    Because, like you said, they played in the NLE.

    Every year, we hear how we need to emulate the team that just one it all, and the following year a different team wins using a whole different approach, and then we hear the same thing. There are many ways to win in MLB. Loading up on studs improves your chances, but nothing is ever guaranteed, except maybe 2018. (lol).
  12. moonslav59
    Always good to see an underdog win it all- even better it was vs the Astros. "Wait till next year" has begun for all 29 teams.
  13. moonslav59
    You just admitted enjoying it after saying you don't. (It's not about the words chosen by me, anyway.) There is no dehumanization of the game going on, and the umps are not dehumanized either. They are given a tool to do a better job, and they still have to make calls other thn balls and strikes.
  14. moonslav59
    Errors by players are part of "the game." The games are meant to be about the skill levels of the players. Errors by umps don't have to be and add nothing to the game.
  15. moonslav59
    Why are you okay with even 1%?
  16. moonslav59
    Safety and security of the longer term deal that may not be there after 2022. I’m not certain he will, but I’m leaning yes.
  17. moonslav59
    Schwarber must not get many rbi chances because his numbers don’t match the rbi totals: Career BA/OPS .237/.836 Career RISP: .221/.826 Men on base: .243/.850 Those numbers should have more rbis. He also does not have many seasons with 600+ PAs. (1) He has just 2 with over 472 PAs.
  18. moonslav59
    If he goes to free agency and it’s the best offer, probably yes. I might go $51/3 or $62M/4
  19. moonslav59
    Like what $48M/3?
  20. moonslav59
    The other thing is that it is very likely players better than Potts & Rosario will be non-tendered or DFA'd at the same time as our two or three. They very likely would not get claimed.
  21. moonslav59
    I put 4, because they could make that a low number to lower the AAV.
  22. moonslav59
    Cannon will not be added to the 40. Casas does not need to be added, so they will hold off on adding him, until he is needed. I'm not sure Bello or Murphy see MLB in 2022. All the rest very well might.
  23. moonslav59
    It does to people who say, I would never trade Casas.
  24. moonslav59
    That's why getting back someone with 3-5 years of team control helps the equation. If Sale had one year left, no way I make that trade.
  25. moonslav59
    I'm probably higher on Dalbec than many, here, so I'd be open to trading Casas for a big return. I'd like to keep Mayer, Bello and Yorke, but I'd listen to any offers.
