Even if we lose one of these guys, we may end up getting them back. It might also mean we end up keeping a guy like Rosario or Winckowski who go on to do better.
-
Oh, it's only homegrown players fans get upset about letting go? I think this debate is going off track. My point is, if we keep putting winning and or exciting teams on the field or teams that win it all every 4-6 years, I think fans will forgive GMs that let stars get away. Again, I'm not sure why we are reading so much into letting Betts go and that being our new norm. Part of the reason we let Betts go was because we went large and long on Sale and Bogey. It's not like we are going cheap, despite what a few posters think.
-
We already have three 3Bmen: Devers, Dalbec & Bogey.
-
That has nothing to do with us letting Lowe, Damon, Ellsbury and Lester go. As for Betts, we've already had an exciting season since letting him go, but if 5 years from now, some fans stop supporting us over letting Betts and maybe others go, then you'll have a point.
-
And Joe Kelly!
-
Some fans were upset we let him go, and we got over losing him and won again.

Some were pissed we let Lackey go before his contract was up or that we did not extend him, despite not being "early in his career." We got over Lester, though, didn't we? We won on the Ellsbury non-move..

Damon and Lowe, too. Some were pissed we let lackey go before his contract was up or that we did not extend him.

10/22 ALCS Game 6 @ Astros

And Sonny Jergunson played for the Redskins. I thought you'd support my non cancel opinion. -
Maybe, but these numbers tell a tale. Look at others besides Kike... PAs with RISP in 2021: 212 Devers 180 JD 161 Bogey 160 Renfroe 145 Verdugo 135 Vaz 135 Dalbec 119 Kike PAs with Men on base 341 Devers 302 JD 288 Bogey 266 Renfroe 261 Verdugo 221 Vaz 221 Dalbec 202 Kike

Many of those years had plenty of joys, and I would not trade a single championship for better in between seasons. Maybe we lose a couple fans here and there, when their favorite player(s) are let go, but we've done a very good job replacing them with exciting new players rather quickly, and bring a ring every 4-5 years. We were able to do that by not getting too nostalgic about aging stars. Only Betts was let go pre-prime. When that starts to become a pattern, we'll talk again.
-
Maybe. 2 years of Montas is much more of a known than those 18 years of prospects. I think Trivino is worth more than what BTV gives him. Montas is pretty damn good and just entering prime.
-
The 111 loss teams are more likely to trade top players. I am in agreement on Mountcastle, but Means or Mullins would be great targets.
-
Me, too, but I think peaks and valleys are not as bad as some think they are. The thing about Dalbec is, is he drove in a lot of runs, some even when slumping. He drove in 17 runs in May, despite a .672 OPS. He was 1 RBI below Bogey, who had 150 more PAs and 7 more XBHs. He was 5th in RBI but 8th in PAs. RBI per PA: .172 Dalbec .170 Devers .168 Renfroe .156 JD .131 Bogey .104 Verdugo .103 Kike (lead off)
-
The second one is 18 for 6.
-
I think we take the risk of not protecting Ward and Jimenez. While I don't see us having any major 40 man roster crunches, this winter, if we want to sign 4-5 free agents, we will be hitting a point where we have to DFA or trade some valuable players.
-
Did we keep fans after letting Pedro, Schilling, Lowe, Damon and Mueller go? Manny, Beckett & Lowell? Lester, Lackey & Ellsbury? Again, I think we'll keep Bogey or Devers- probably not both, but keep bringing us the Kike's and Whitlocks, and I'll keep watching.
-
And, unlike JBJ, his streaky bat is not carried along by stellar defense.
-
BTV accepted these two separate deals: (not saying I would do the second one) Duran, Downs & Seabold for Means (3 yrs) Duran, Mata, Seabold for Monats (2), Trivino (3), Piscotty (1) as a salary dump
-
I wouldn't trade top assets for Mountcastle over someone like Montas, but he is significantly better than Dalbec, especially on defense. He's younger and had good minor league numbers (as did Dalbec.)
-
That would be replaced with, "The league is manipulating the software to ensure the Yanks win."
-
I seriously doubt we continuously let guys like Betts, Bogey and Devers go. Even then, if we keep winning, and add new exciting players, it may not matter as much as we might think. The 2007 Red Sox was pretty different from 2004, and 2013 was way different.

You crack me up!
