    You sounded like there were no maybes, just a few months ago.

    No quotes, but some hints. 1) Their track record shows the spend in cycles, usually after being prudent for 1-3 years. 2) They spoke of the tax line not being a rigid priority, this year, and this was a rebuild year, so with higher hopes, next year, I think they'll mean it this time. 3) If we don't win it all or get close, soon, the fans and media will get even more brutal thatn they have been, this year- a year where we have far exceeded expectation. Fans want to expect much better, next year. The new CBA may change my opinion, but I think Henry will spend much more next year. BTW, we did spend about $40M, last winter, but almost all on 1 year deals. (Kike on 2)

    We probably will not get all of that, but with arb raises, Price's cost and the cost of JD, Schwarber and a solid SP'er, how much is left for a closer and other needs? We may trade for one major piece and save some FA money, but weaken the farm at the same time.

    I shouldn't have started the 2022 thread.

    He's 28. JD was 30 when he signed, but yes, JD's numbers were way better. .936 from 2014 to 2017 and .985 fro '16 to '17.
  6. moonslav59
    I'm not sure he gets 6 years. He's only had more than 510 PAs once in his career (2019). He hit .701 in the short 2020 season, and was at .849 from 2018-2019, a very good number but not top notch. He's also .849 from 2018-2021. He may try to take a 1 year deal to boost his value, but I'm thinking maybe he gets $70-75M/5. I'd probably go as high as $90M/6, but that's scary large and long.

    Okay. I thought you were talking about when Arroyo is healthy.
  8. moonslav59
    You forgot Kike. Duran out hitting Verdugo right out of the gait was never the plan.
  9. moonslav59
    I am certain we are going over, but that does not mean we will spend like LAD. We need Ace or solid #2 Closer 1B Set up man- solid Pitching depth Utility I doubt we go over the second or third line, and there is talk the first line might be $180M.
  10. moonslav59
    We don’t know the next tax set up and I agree we can keep Schwarber & JD and add a solid SPer, but we need a closer and pitching depth, too.
  11. moonslav59
    It’s not Schwarber v Duran: it’s Schwarber v Arroyo or Dalbec. Basically, Dalbec vs Arroyo, and we could platoon them by moving Kike around.
  12. moonslav59
    Gotta love the .571 OBP. There are still posters who think Bloom did “nothing” at the deadline. Schwarber>>>> Rizzo
  13. moonslav59
    Peaking early. (BTW, Sale hit 98 a few times and 96 several times, last night. Seems to be proving you wrong, so far.)
  14. moonslav59
    I’ve already said I’d take both, and it might just be for 1 year, anyway. I’m worried about having enough cash to get better pitching.
  15. moonslav59
    I’m one of Dalbec’s biggest supporters, but we all know he yo-go’s, and Arroyo at 2B is as good on O and makes the defense better at 2B and CF. There are reasons. I’d like to see Dalbec platooned at 1B with Schwarber and Schwarber in the OF when Dalbec is at 1B.
  16. moonslav59
    Why can’t we ever find guys like him?
  17. moonslav59
    10 less RBIs than Bogey and 150 less PAs, too.
  18. moonslav59
    Bobby Dee not so quietly up to .740, now!
  19. moonslav59
    Devers sure finds ways to keep getting RBIs during slumps.
  20. moonslav59
    11 in the 6 games prior.
  21. moonslav59
    .817 from May 1st to August 14th.
  22. moonslav59
    It seems like JD has been on a steady decline since his red hot April, but watching a high OPS fall steadily can be deceiving. Until just the last week or two, he’s been remarkably consistent, and not too bad, really, except that we expect .900+ from him. 1.175 April .801 May .788 June .806 July .749 August (.563 last 2 weeks)
  23. moonslav59
    Pivetta
  24. moonslav59
    Vaz swings at too many balls out of the zone.

    Chris Freakin’ Sale!
