    Got me. I surrender.

    Maybe small sample sizes do impress some GMs, although his last 110 innings may be kind of a large sample size for a RP'er from 2019-2020. (Only Beeks had more RP IP than Hendricks.) Going more than 1 IP has a lot of value. 0.897 WHIP 1.79 ERA (38 ERA-) 1.70 FIP (2.89 xFIP) 13.1 K/9 2.0 BB 6.7 K/BB RP WAR 2019-2020 5.2 Hendricks 3.4 Yates 3.0 Anderson 2.7 Rogers 2.6 Hand, Hader 2.5 Lugo 2.4 Chapman 2.3 R Iglesias

    The guy could hit. End of story. Period.

    My ex brother-in-law had a great nickname for Mikey: "I'll pock the ball up when it stops rolling" Greenwell. (He agree with me on Mike's horrific defense.) What bugged me most about his defense was how he'd run back to the wall, slow down, then leap and crash into the wall- usually dropping the ball, instead of running quickly to get to the wall, stopping and then jumping straight up, thereby not having the crashing into the wall dislodging the ball from his glove. He never learned this. He also never learned to catch a high easy flyball while positioning himself for a good throw- although he wasn't bad at throwing out runners.

    Beni's 2019 was not as bad as many felt it was. His 2020 season should be written off, and most GMs will not worry over it. I still think now is not the time to trade Beni, but I trust Bloom will not hand him away. The article hints at trading him for a prospect, which I guess teams looking to acquire Beni would be in "win now" mode. Trading him without getting a ML ready OF'er in return would have to mean we will be adding 2-3 OF'ers before opening day... most likely via trade.

    Some years, there was just no clear cut "franchise player" or "face of the franchise." Maybe cause we sucked and had no super stud- maybe because we had 2-3. Players I listed in parenthesis were meant as close but not really in the mix. (I meant to explain the way I listed them. Players like "Lynn/Rice/Burleson/Evans" all could be viewed as "the face," but the first one listed was my choice. I listed multiple names so maybe others could remember back and say, "No, I'd say this guy was "the man."

    Greenwell was never close to being "the face."

    I was hoping to see you give this challenge a try...

    Okay, but I hear more about Casas, Song and a few others.

    I'm not for rushing him, I was just saying what I think might happen, or why they said me might be ready at some point in 2021. In some ways, I think he might turn out better than Duran.
  13. moonslav59
    We rarely hear anyone talk about Jimenez. Why do you think that is so?
  14. moonslav59
    So who was the franchise player? Pedey or Papi? One could even argue VTek or Pedro. I guess I don't see it as a "wide margin," but I can see how many would see it that way. He plays everyday, unlike Sale- even when not injured. I'll ask you this, is it possible Devers wins the title in the next year or two, assuming both are still here in 2022 and/or beyond?
  15. moonslav59
    I never got how one session like this can really change someone's mind all that much. You look at the speed of his fastball, but you know he may be throwing extra hard. Can showing control or lack of it in one session really mean all that much?
  16. moonslav59
    I've never been high on Wilson. I think he may be DFA'd or traded once we add an OF'er or two. Rosario is 21 and is projected to be in AA, this year. I agree it may be a stretch to think he'll be ML ready that quickly, but he's apparently a great defender, so maybe that makes him valuable enough to be ML ready. Our OF depth is so weak, and if we end up getting rid of Wilson, who is clearly more "ML ready," but maybe not as skilled as Rosario, we could possible see Rosario as a late inning defensive replacement late in 2021.
  17. moonslav59
    If Sale wasn't hurt, I'd say he was, but it's close. Some might say JD is the "leader," but I wouldn't say "franchise" for him. Devers is just coming into his own, and I could see him becoming the franchise player as soon as this year. I have no issue calling Bogey the franchise player, but I don't think he is clearly "the man," and he wasn't that guy, when we had Betts. If this was football, and I had to slap a franchise tag on a player, it would be Devers, but that's not really a good way to look at it.
  18. moonslav59
    We could see two Wongs (Connor & Kolten), at some point, so we'd definitely need a Wright.
  19. moonslav59
    Agreed, but Pablito fell woefully short of even his regular season numbers with SF.
  20. moonslav59
    Agreed, but he ain't the current "franchise player."
  21. moonslav59
    I think they meant they may be ML ready at some point, this year, not necessarily being called up and seeing ML action, but I agree. If we only add one more OF'er Rosario or Wilson may earn a shot at some point.
  22. moonslav59
    And 3 years is not really all that long.

    3 duds: HRam, Pablito & Rusney
  24. moonslav59
    Wasn't even thinking about the draft pick loss. No brainer: pass on DJ.
  25. moonslav59
    Yes!
