There's also players hitting better not being called up, and saying that is not Duran-bashing.
-
Why is Downs expendable? He plays SS and may end up at 2B. He's likely ML ready next summer or 2023, which happens to be when Bogey might opt out. Arroyo looks like a keeper, but let's not forget he's about 90 PAs from being 9th on this year's team in PAs (163). Does anyone really think he has locked down the 2B job for the next 3 years of team control? I'd like to think yes, but keeping Downs a bit longer makes sense. Also, what has Yorke done, except to be drafted high?
-
I like the fact that Gibson has another year of team control, so he's not a "rental," but it might also take more to get him for that reason. Your offer is higher than mine, so that might get it done. Would we try to get them to add Kennedy to a deal? I'm kinda thinking a Duffy, Santana and enough cash to stay under might be our best get.

Why is saying I trust Bloom knows when to call him up being down on Duran? Why is not wanting to bench Kike or Arroyo showing disrespect to Duran? I'd love nothing more than Bloom thinking he's ready, now and calling him up to watch him do very well. I think Duran is our best prospect and Casas is rated twice as highly on BTV. Look, I don't want Kike playing 2B or 1B. He's our best defensive CF'er, and I thought that before today's proof positive. Do you want to bench Verdugo? Platoon Renfroe and Verdugo? Duran can't play 1B or the IF like Santana, Chavis and Marwin can do, so he won't be "replacing" their ABs. Not wanting Duran to play just once a week is no reflection on my placing a value on him. Frankly, I'm getting tired of having to defend myself, when I'm really just backing Bloom & Cora's intelligence and knowledge over my own.

We may need 3 starters.

2021 MLB draft

Yes, and I've stated over and over, I am very naïve in this area. In about 2 hours, we'll know "our guy." -
That should be Boone's final straw. I don't need to know any specifics.
-
The record shows that the vast majority of pitchers do better with our back up catcher (except when it was Swihart). I've provided the data. One can argue nobody could get any better from this staff, this year, and it's a great point. As for his pitch framing, he has consistently scored highly in this area, so ignore ghosts.
-
Playing the Yanks so much should be a big boost for us.
-
He hits many of them.
-
Not a good way to enter the ASB, but what a great first half to the season! Kudos to this team!
-
Nothing to complain about with his arm. He's great at throwing and framing pitches. I give him tons of credit in those two areas. He's been a plus hitter for a catcher- not so much this year, but over the last few years, yes. IMO, he is okay at blocking bad pitches, but not great. He sucks with handling the staff, and to me, that is more than half of a catcher's overall value to a team.
-
Groome, Ward & Chavis?
-
Promise?
-
That hurts!
-
Time for Verdugo to wake up out of the fog he's been stuck in.
-
Kike bash, here.
-
Lets get to Kike...BB.
-
How can anyone be against robo umps. This sucks!
-
Maybe wasnt expecting a change up.
-
Ouch- Vaz!
-
At the risk of pissing off some Remy fans, I turned up the volume for a few mins and had to mute it, again.
-
We could replace Barnes with Kimbrel and Ottavino with Barnes, but I agree.
-
It's comeback time. Let's not wait for the 9th.
-
I almost called this his last AB.
