  1. The Bucks have been my team since I lived there back when Lew Alcindor was drafted and we traded for the Big O. 50 years between rings! NICE!
  2. You know there are dozens and dozens of ball players who started out slower and for longer time periods than this Dalbec example. Certainly, many who started out this slowly went on the a worse future or a DFA, but 358 career MLB PAs is a rather small sampole size, and a .733 career OPS is really not all that horrific. Sure, 1Bmen should do much better, and sure his learning of a new position (3B to 1B) had been scary, but he will get another long look at some point. Maybe with the Sox- maybe not.
  3. I'm undefeated on first game threads (after someone else's loss). The last time was my first one and done- that debacle, rain-shortended game in NY.
  4. Sun is out, now. Hazy, humid, kinda warm.
  5. This is the "realistic" thread. Richards may be a good RP'er. Andriese is not.
  6. I'd love to win it all this year, but to me, you only trade away some of the most promising future when the timing is just right. I don't think this is the time. I think we'll be better in the next year or two, and that should be the time we think about sacrificing some of the future for "lightening." I think we can make a couple lesser but impactful deals, this summer that keep us under the tax line while keeping the future team intact.
  7. 1. Sale 2. Eovaldi 3. ERod 4. Pivetta 5. Richards 6. Perez 7. Barnes 8. Ottavino 9. Whitlock 10. Taylor 11. Houck 12. D Hern 13. Sawamura 14. Brasier or Andriese/Rios/Workman/Bazardo/Valdez/Seabold
  8. Nobody thought trading for Eovaldi or Pearce was going to be a big difference maker.
  9. If we can keep Arroyo healthy, and Duran does well, we may not need any help on offense. Arroyo has a .792 OPS. Whatever Duran ends up having, the two of these guys should do better than this: PA Player OPS 246 Marwin .583 109 Santana .575 102 Cordero .501 64 Chavis .530 That's over 500 PAs of some very bad offense. Where might we see a shift in the IP distribution, going forward? IP Pitcher ERA 108 Eovaldi3.57 (same) 103 Pivetta 4.37 (same) 95 ERod 5.19 (maybe more) 92 Richards 4.91 (less) 89 Perez 4.16 (maybe less) 46 Whitlock 1.38 (same- on innings limit?) 38 Barnes 2.61 (same) 38 Ottavino 2.61 (same) 38 Sawamura 2.87 (same) 37 Andriese 6.03 (way less) 31 D Hern 3.77 (same) 31 Taylor 3.77 (same) 23 Valdez 4.24 (less) 15 Workman 3.00 (less, I hope) 14 Brice 6.59 (way less) 13 Houck 3.38 (way more) 12 Rios 4.63 (less) 15 combined: Weber, Brennan, Bazardo, Brewer, Marwin & Arroyo 0 Sale (way more) 0 Brasier (more)
  10. 358 PAs just doesn't mean all that much, to me. My issue with Gallo is the up and down not the mean. .312 .389 .301 .391 That and the cost needed to get him. If the guy had a .391 OBP over the past 2-4 years, I'm interested.
  11. I disagree. I still think Houston looks better on paper, and they will likely make a trade or two as well. The Dodgers are way better. That being said, it's what we'd have to give back is the big "no" for me, and if we give up that much, I want pitching.
  12. You know me, I'm not all about recency. That being said, can we trade Dalbec for Gallo straight up? No, not even close, so what's your point?
  13. This one got 6 likes and 0 dislikes for the Sox and 6 likes and 2 dislikes for DET: Ro Hernandez, Groome, Ward & Chavis for Boyd, Cisnero & Schoop I just put this one through... Ro Hernandez & Ward for Boyd & Schoop It also accepted Bobby Dee straight up for the two. Groome, Ward & Chavis, too. Ward, Rosario, Decker & Chavis, but they'd laugh at this one.
  14. Schoop may cost more. Did you see my Boyd + Schoop trade?
  15. .682 on the road still beats Bobby Dee, and Cron has had some good seasons, recently. .894 in '20 DET .780 in '19 MN .816 in '18 TB .808 from '18-'21. Why focus on just his away numbers in 2021 for just over a half season? He's averaged 34 HRs per 650 PAs in that period.
  16. BTV has... 97 Devers 52 Bogey 50 Verdugo 48 Casas 45 Duran 23 Barnes 20 Downs 12 ERod & Dalbec 11 Vaz, Pivetta, Jimenez & Houck 10 Mata 9 Taylor 7 RoHern & Yorke 5 Seabold, Renfroe & Whitlock 4 DHern, Groome, Arroyo, Song & Ward 3.5 Rosario, JD 3 Lugo, Decker, Wilson, Jordan & Wong 2.5 Murphy & Kike
  17. CJ Chron could be part of a package deal. It should not add much to the return.
  18. Good news. I had high hopes when we got him.
  19. All other things equal, yes, but they also like upside potential. That's why Mata still holds much better value.
  20. Agreed, but if he's looking good in rehab, I'd call him up earlier than after 5 outings.
  21. I was going to say, I thought I heard they planned on starting Houck against Toronto, when they called him up. Are they just giving every starter and extra day's rest?
  22. Groome is rated higher than Ward on BTV 4.3 to 3.8.
  23. Ward, Potts and Chavis for 1.3 years of Boyd?
