We look even better going forward, despite what jacko claims. Our one year signings and FAs to be are not "big losses." Some look to be addition by subtraction. To me, only ERod, Richards/Perez and Ottavino need to be replaced. 3 pitchers, with the Richards/Perez replacement very hard to not improve on. Even Ottavino & ERod's 2021 numbers should not be too hard to improve on. All these Bloom additions are back and getting closer to peak prime: Kike Verdugo Whitlock Pivetta Renfroe Arroyo (Maybe something from Seabold, Downs, Wong/RHernandez) Plus, DD (or B4 DD) holdovers should/could improve... Houck Dalbec Devers Bogey The only key players you can probably expect a decline are JD and Eovaldi, but both could do the same or better. Barnes ia big unknown.

...and why would a big spending team take him?

It's better than ... 7 for 34 with 7 GIDP (Renfroe) and 0 for 11 (Dalbec)

10/20 ALCS Game 5 vs Astros
moonslav59 replied to mvp 78's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Going with 12 pitchers would have taken away that choice, too. Just sayin'. -
True. We missed many playoffs with near $200M teams, but seriously, if your team had a $150M budget, why would you think Cashman is your guy?
-
No doubt, and if henry opens the wallet, there can be room to add pitching and Schwarber or Semien/Baez.
-
I think some of his arm issues come down to his footwork. I do think he can improve, and since 1B looks full, I'm okay with him at 3B. He has good range and reflexes, so i think he can make up for some of his bad throws by making some plays many 3Bmen don't get to. I do not want Devers in LF. DH might be for over 32 or 33.
-
If JD opts out, I'm all over Schwarber. I love the guy. The $13M pitcher is a hypothetical. It might be someone like Danny Duffy or Wade Miley vs a $30M guy like Scherzer. Scherzer vs Miley or Schwarber vs Dalbec/Casas at 1B
-
I want Schwarber, but I think it's an either or situation.
-
I don't doubt Cashman might get a GM offer, if he was to be axed, but why would anyone take a GM who spends $200M to not win a pennant to come to their team and spend $70-190M?
-
Not true. I've mentioned it often, but have usually said he should be given a longer chance. I'd rather move Bogey off SS (to 2B?) than Devers off 3B. Besides, we have a 1Bman with Casas in the wings. Someday, maybe.
-
Schwarber basically forces one of these guys to the bench or Kike to 2B for Arroyo: Dalbec Renfroe Verdugo JD While I like him more than any of these guys, the upgrade on O and downgrade on D does not outweigh what the same money going to a new or better pitcher could and should bring us. Let's say Schwarber costs $17M/yr. Think of what a $30M pitcher will bring us vs a $13M pitcher, Isn't that a better upgrade than Schwarber over Dalbec?
-
BTV accepted Dalbec, Duran & Downs for Montas, Trivino and Buelvas. I know, it goes against the no 3-D trade rule, but still...
-
I'm the driver of the Devers Forevers Bandwagon.
-
Umm, one game proves you right? I never said going scoreless for the first 5 is a good thing, is needed or adds to our chances of winning. I just think it is silly to make statements like we need to score early to win. It's just not true. Sure, it's helpful but not essential. We keep going on and on repeating our positions. Let's just move on.
-
If it's Devers last year, when they trade him, I wouldn't view it anydifferently.
-
It's 26 to start with. I'll walk you through it... You had 17 listed but 3 were question marks and 1 was Chavis. So, 17-3 (???'s) = 14. 14-1 (Chaviz)= 13. 26-13=13
-
I meant for Montas 39.6 or Manaea 18.5, but Trivon is probably worth more than 1.1.
-
Who would OAK want from us? Downs? Duran? Arroyo? or would they demand Casas?
-
True, but the way renfroe is hitting and hitting into DPs, I'd choose to sit Renfroe, who could also be used to PH later.
-
That seems to be the best plan. Don't pay big for a closer. Reduce SP addition costs. I'd still sign an additional SP'er, even if ERod comes back via a QO.
-
Is this better? This is 19 with no Verdugo & Pivetta and some players combined into 1. Pillar & Puello count as one Peraza Plawecki Arauz Moreland (re-signed) Arroyo Munoz Grullon/Lucroy count as one Perez (IP leader in '20) Weber Valdez Mazza Godley Springs Brice Osich & Covey count as one Kickham & Stock count as one Hart & Triggs count as one Leyer & Tapia count as one
-
Okay, take 10 off my list and it's still more holes than I said. There were obviously 10+ serious holes that needed filling that were expected to be part of the 26 man for a significant time. You listed 22 slots with 17 names that included 3 question marks and Chavis. That's 13 holes by your own admission on just the 26.
-
Agreed, but it is getting ridiculous.
-
I know there are no rules, but one can be made. It's too subjective, now. I'd just make the bat crossing over half of the plate a strike. On the play you mention, it might be unfortunate, but you could allow umpire discretion to over rule the robo ump in just these cases. Many times, a batter trying to get out of the way, moves the bat, but it never actually goes across the plate- it is swung past the plate but not over it.
