    We've been seeing some great things from the farm, recently. It was nice watching our farm depth improve, but now we are seeing some of our top farm hands take it to another level. Casas, Yorke and Mayer in particular.
  2. moonslav59
    That he has, and we still have 2 more years of arb control with him! Whitlock may go down as Bloom's best acquisition, to date, but Renfroe was a great one. Other good ones, include: Pivetta Ottavino Arroyo Plawecki Arauz Valdez Seabold R Hernandez Now, Richards is not looking as bad as we felt a few weeks back (Verdugo, Down, Wong?)

    I'm not sure I'd risk an injury to Stanton. He is carrying you guys.
  4. moonslav59
    He's not 38. Of course, a few teams will offer him a 2 or 3 year deal, minimum, but certainly not at $19M a year. Maybe someone offers him something like $40-50M/3 or $50-55M/4. The question is, and I thinnk I know the answer, is will he take that over $19M/1 plus whatever he thinks he can get next year. If you subtract $19M from my suggested offers and add a year of age to him, what can he get the following winter? My numbers would be $20-30M/2 or $30-35M/3. JD just turned 34, so he will be 35 for most of the 2023 season. I think Nelson Cruz is a pretty good comp, but JD will have to hit well in 2022 to stay a good comp. That is where his risk lays- that and how he hits this September. Even if you add JD's horrific 2020 numbers to his 2021 numbers, he's still over .800. .806 in 781 PAs 31 HRs 112 RBIs 85 XBHs Nelson Cruz hit .848 at ages 32 to 33, but he exploded to .936 at age 35, his first year with SEA. He's been at .933 for the 6 years after that, not counting 2021. I am not saying I or anyone should expect that from JD, but Cruz got a pretty good deal from SEA ($57M/4) at about the same age JD is, now and after similar numbers.

    I don't think the numbers or eye test lie, but to me, the sample size is way too small to make a judgment. We do know there seemed to be a reluctance to calling him up, when we had a real OF need, so I don't think it's a stretch to think maybe his defense was a real and major concern. I am far from giving up on Duran, and I fully agree he's "capable of improvement." Speed helps a lot.

    SF won an a walk off error by newly acquired Trea Turner to take back the lead in the NLW and NL overall. The Sox are now 8 behind TBR, so winning the division is all buy hopeless, unless we sweep them, later in the week. NYY won in extras vs the O's, last night to hold their 1.5 game lead over us. OAK's pen allowed 9 runs in their last IP to lose 11-10 and fall 3 behind us. Here's how the AL looks: 85-50 TBR 79-55 HOU 78-56 NYY 78-57 CWS 78-59 BOS -1.5 WC1 74-61 OAK -3.0 WC2 73-62 SEA -4.0 WC2 71-62 TOR -5.0 WC2 (Remember, CLE still has a winning record at 67-65. -8.5 WC2.)
  7. moonslav59
    I think the best spot for him is LF most of the time, 1B vs some tough righties and DH when JD needs rest. It could work out nicely.
  8. moonslav59
    Freakin' Yanks win. Stanton has been the man.
  9. moonslav59
    Yes, and I'm not for trading him, unless we get something very good back. I still have faith he'll be good. This sample size is tiny. Did I give up on Dalbec? (Actually, I did for a couple days, at one time, but that's beside the point.)
  10. moonslav59
    I'll have to read about that game in the morning.
  11. moonslav59
    Send him to the Gallows!
  12. moonslav59
    OMG, the O's just lined into a DP.
  13. moonslav59
    You act like you wanted OAK to win.
  14. moonslav59
    O's scored one and have a man on 2nd! We may get lucky and gain a game on the Skankies!
  15. moonslav59
    We thought our pen was bad. OAK tonight 1 IP 9 ERs
  16. moonslav59
    Yanks heading to the 10th.
  17. moonslav59
    Marcus Semien with a 3-run job to beat the A's.
  18. moonslav59
    TOR 2nd and 3rd- no out down 2 v OAK.
  19. moonslav59
    OAK back up 10-8 in the 9th, but TOR has a man on. NYY tied in the 9th with the lowly O's.
  20. moonslav59
    Yup
  21. moonslav59
    Spacing out, there.
  22. moonslav59
    My thoughts, exactly. Ottavino for the ninth and Whitlock for tomorrow.
  23. moonslav59
    Someone other than the tres amigos?
  24. moonslav59
    Arauz con Leche
  25. moonslav59
