    I doubt we get a good young arm for Dalbec, unless we add to the package. I doubt many fans are attached to Dalbec, so much so, they'd be upset, if we traded him for a good young arm.

    ...and he signed him again, this winter- as a #5,

    Valdez and Davis have options remaining, next year, so we should view them as AAA depth that will surely be used, often. Robles is a FA with 0 options..

    Yes, but when your budget is restricted to about $34M and you have about 10-15 slots to fill on the 40 man roster, you have to get somebody.

    As for now, I see Whitlock as a starter in 2022 more than Houck. I think Houck could be a fine closer or top set-up man, but he could also do very well as a starter, especially if he diversifies his pitches. Bringing ERod back would be fine with me, but he will likely not improve our rotation over 2021, unless he pitches like 2018-2019 and goes deeper into his starts. I hate the idea of signing a 5th starter. I always hate that. I'd like to see us acquire a solid 1/2 slot pitcher, but that is not easy. We can pay large and long for Gausman or Syndergaard, but they do not seem like the type you wait years to go big on. I think the better idea is to try and get a shorter term deal with an aging stud like Scherzer or even Verlander/Greinke/Kershaw (not all that old). We also need to fill a big slot or two in the pen, even with Houck taking Whitlock's place. I like R Iglesias, but he's going to cost a lot. We may end up trading for pen help.

    Cora did call Kike the best defensive 2B in MLB, so maybe he doesn't love him in CF as much as I do. Your points here could very well come true.
  7. moonslav59
    Damn! That's a good one!

    How much of this was injury-related? Minor League seasons are much shorter. Nobody is saying he's Lou. He's 26 and rode the bench for some of his career.
  9. moonslav59
    We are getting in. It matters where.
  10. moonslav59
    You are assuming we have home field?
  11. moonslav59
    Masters of “on paper” talent.
  12. moonslav59
    He’s had a rough time, but I think it’s too early to call him fragile. Not that you did.
  13. moonslav59
    Knocking the Yanks out has to be a priority second only to making it ourselves. It’s looking like a real possibility, now.
  14. moonslav59
    Counting today, we have 4 of the next 19 days off. The starters will get extra days off. The RPers can be used more efficiently, and I think we can add a bat/glove option and go with one less pitcher until that last road trip with no days off.
  15. moonslav59
    The road trip could knock us for a loop, but we end the season with very beatable opponents. TOR has some easy games, too, but some tough ones as well.

  17. moonslav59
    I think he’ll get eased up to 95-100 pitches by season end, and when he’s on, that can get him 7-8 innings. Only Eovaldi can be trusted beyond 6 with Sale.
  18. moonslav59
    It was a fantastic find, and so was Whitlock. I think the Arroyo deal was nice, too.
  19. moonslav59
    Well, we passed the Yanks but are one down in the loss column- tied in losses with the Jays. 88-52 TBR 81-58 HOU 80-59 CWS 80-62 BOS 78-61 NYY -.5 76-62 TOR -2.0 76-64 SEA -3.0 74-64 OAK -4.0
  20. moonslav59
    Renfroe the one man show! (Okay, Eovaldi, too.)
  21. moonslav59
    Like 6 moves, or did I miss one?
  22. moonslav59
    I said, “milagro!”
  23. moonslav59
    Milagro!
  24. moonslav59
    Devers is your #1 hitter. Kike is your #1 defender. Barnes should be your #3 reliever.
  25. moonslav59
    We walked the wrong Lowe!
