    I like the pretzel with brown mustard.

    Winckowski was even invited to spring training (and did well). He will likely be in AAA by the end of the season. The others are more "long shots," but they have the tools and are more promising than many other low level players. The money saved allowed us to sign Renfroe. I would not trade Renfroe for Beni, right now- straight up. Our farm was weak and thin. You can't fix it with magic.

    If I had to guess, Duran comes up sometime between the end of the Olympic games and September. Casas between June 2022 and September 2022. Downs & Bello September 2022. Jimenez, Yorke & Aldo Ramirez maybe 2023. Seabold maybe as soon as he's he's healthy.

    No, but I'd like to see Chavis get at least one more long look, this year, and maybe we can decide, once and for all, if he deserves a 40 man roster spot, this winter and in 2022. I hate leaving these borderline players in limbo- never knowing one way or the other. If we can pick up a better 1Bman without losing anyone too promising, bring him on!

    We go to Maine every summer, so we miss the hottest month, but yes, it's over 90 everyday from June 1st to October 1st, and in the 80's and 90's most of May and October. The long hot summers rival Maine's long cold winters- both are 4-5 months long..

    Several factors: 1. The super 2 team control rule (that date just recently passed) 2. The Olympic team commitment. 3. He just changed positions, recently and does not have that many games in CF under his belt. Reports are he is still learning the position. 4. Players like Cordero & Kike deserved long looks in the OF. 5. Not all .900+ hitters are sure bets to do well in the bigs, especially right off the ground running. 6. We don't know what Bloom & Co. know. Why not trust they know more than we do? Can they be wrong, at times? Sure. Either way: too early or too late.

    Yes, it counts, but the sample size is tint, and Dalbec needs a change of scenery- quick. Why discount my most recent small sample sizes on Dalbec but us them against Chavis?
  8. moonslav59
    MLB Only Dalbec .717 Career (265 PAs) .595 2021 (173 PAs) .657 last 28 days (65) .618 since May 8th (the day Chavis was called up) Chavis .730 career (573 PAs) .758 2021 (33 PAs) .667 last 28 days (24) .758 since May 8 (his call up date in 2021)

    What does that matter? They both have sucked, recently. I'm fine with giving people long looks, but Chavis deserves a long look, too, and his career and 2021 MLB numbers blow Dalbec's away. If you want to hold his 2021 "recent" AAA numbers against him, that seems as arbitrary as my cherry-picking the worst cutoff points on the slumping Dalbec & Santana.
  10. moonslav59
    You're all over the map. It's career MLB OPS for Dalbec, but AAA 2021 OPS for Chavis that counts?
  11. moonslav59
    Not sure? You already responded to my post that listed this... .422 Dalbec in his last 54 PAs .595 Dalbec this year .188 Santana last 27 PAs .530 Santana this year Santana did start off well, for a few games, and he did deserve a shot, especially because we'd have lost him had we not called him up, and 2 guys went on the IL, but he has tanked recently. He's the next guy on the hot seat, or we could have a double hot seat for Dalbec & Santana.
  12. moonslav59
    Even .469 is better than Dalbec, recently. That's the point. It's not about having confidence in Chavis, who has actually done something in the bigs, already- and pretty recently, too.
  13. moonslav59
    Nor should having the best catching prospect in all of baseball. Catchers are hard to find. If both turned out to be great, the trade value of one would be enormous.
  14. moonslav59
    Chavis hitting .650 is a plus over Dalbec hitting .450 or Santana hitting .200, recently.
  15. moonslav59
    It's .758 in MLB, this year, not AAA. Granted, it was just 33 PAs, but his career MLB OPs is .730 over almost 600 PAs- a bigger sample size than Dalbec's.

    Dice-K's career 4.45 ERA was not really horrific. (4.52 with the Sox) It was 4.14 his first 2 years with the Sox and 4.18 his first 4 years (to age 30). How about these forgettable names and their ERA with the Sox: 6.52 Jin Ho Cho (58 IP) 6.50 Sun-Woo Kim (71 IP) Not so forgettable: 4.50 Hideo Nomo (198) 3.72 Byung-Hyun Kim (97) The Memorable: 3.58 Tazawa (312) 3.09 Okajima (250) 2.19 Uehara (226)
  17. moonslav59
    .758 is like 200 points better than Dalbec and Santana, especially of late. .422 Dalbec in his last 54 PAs .595 Dalbec this year .188 Santana last 27 PAs .530 Santana this year Chavis is no savior, but if he can just hit .650, it would be a big plus. I also think he has the potential to hit .750 to .780.
  18. moonslav59
    Stallings has turned into a decent catcher and has 3 years of control left. Putting aside the whole idea of drafting for position with the #1 pick, which hardly anyone advocates, I'm not even sure that's their highest area of need- long-term. BTV also has their 10th highest valued prospect listed as a catcher (Rodriguez). If they really need a young catcher, maybe we can trade them Ronaldo Hernandez for Adam Frazier (.864) with 1 more year of team control and Cole Tucker (OF). Then, we can draft Davis at 4.
  19. moonslav59
    Maybe we could trade him straight up for that guy named Beni, who plays for the Royals.

    I live in Sugar Land, which is just SW of Houston. Very safe, clean and diverse. There are very bad parts of town, but I avoid those areas.
  21. moonslav59
    Will do, my man. Will do.
  22. moonslav59
    Boone is a genius. Extend him, now!
  23. moonslav59
    Florida is one long strip mall.
  24. moonslav59
    It's a very diverse city, and there are a lot of things to do. Great restaurant choices. Museums and parks. Beaches nearby. Not as red neck as it used to be.
  25. moonslav59
    I stopped the bleeding. Now, I pass the torch. I'm still disappointed that after winning 5, one loss brings out so much negativity, but I guess that's something that will never change.
