    I voted for Jake on the CF thread. The more money we have for pitching- the better.
  2. moonslav59
    How about Groome & Chatham or Chavis for Odor & LeClerc plus some cash?
  3. moonslav59
    Unless we can get a good 2Bman for cheap, I'd rather roll the dice with what we have at 2B and address that area at the deadline, if we are in it. All resources should be directed at pitching, pitching, CF and more pitching.
  4. moonslav59
    Maybe I was thinking of Gordon. I think Merrifield would be too costly. I was hoping for a 2Bman better than the crew we have now, but if he's needed in CF, we'd have more than enough depth to cover his slot at 2B. We could just sign 2 CF'ers- one a clear starter and the other a back-up, or maybe a platoon situation. I'm not high on bringing Duran up, until he shows success at AAA and gets more CF experience under his belt. (Plus, don't use up a year of team control, in case he turns out to be a keeper.)
  5. moonslav59
    If he can play RF (move Verdugo to CF), I'm on board, but I'd like to see us get a CF'er and a 2Bman who can play CF (back up) without being a major defensive liability. Didn't you mention another player who can play CF and 2B? I'm not against Miller, but who else is there that can do this?
  6. moonslav59
    He doesn't seem like he has any "go to" pitch, either. It looked like he did well, this year, with smoke and mirrors- kinda like Walden in 2019. Now, sometimes, smoke and mirror pitchers can sustain success. Valdez is not all that high on my list to DFA or trade, but he's close enough.
  7. moonslav59
    Agreed. See below.
  8. moonslav59
    Agreed. One year of Lynn is not what this team needs. Adding Odor would not cancel out the need for us to add a valuable return piece to Texas.
  9. moonslav59
    I guess it depends on management's opinion on Duran being ready for a call-up, in case of an OF injury. I think we sign or trade for an CF'er AND a player that can play CF and 2B. If that happens, trade Wilson.
  10. moonslav59
    One, short season. One 30 IP sample size. I admit, I'd like to keep him around, just in case he's found something he's never had before, but I don't see many players on our roster, now, less promising than him. (Remember, he was not on my bottom 4 list, but I had Brice there, and it appears he's here for opening day.
  11. moonslav59
    LOL, no. I'm just saying, the real Valdez gets hit hard, at times, so taking those two outings away is not being true to who he really is.
  12. moonslav59
    Why assume that wasn't the "real" Valdez? The guy has spent 10 seasons in the minors and has a 1.35 WHIP (1.38 in AAA) in almost 700 IP, there. His AAA ERA was 4.56.
  13. moonslav59
    The idea would be to get a valuable player added to the deal to offset the negative value of Odor, and if Odor wins the 2nd base job, we get a slight gain there, too.
  14. moonslav59
    Once we acquire a CF'er, and we will, Wilson should be DFA'd. I've never been all that high on Chatham, but I think he has trade value. To me, there are dozens of Mazzas, Brewers and Valdezes out there on the waiver wires almost constantly. In fact, all but Brewer were acquired that way and have done little to prove they are better than replacement level.
  15. moonslav59
    I'm not sure they see in Brewer.
  16. moonslav59
    Beni is still young enough to have a career year in the next few seasons.
  17. moonslav59
    I think it is close to 50-50. Many players have bad stretches, and the shortened season was shorter than some of JBJ's epic slumps.
  18. moonslav59
    There are a few, like Devers, who catch my eye in single A, but by and large, you are right.
  19. moonslav59
    It was a tree trunk!
  20. moonslav59
    We know we are going to be cutting 4-5 players, but maybe Bloom is trying to work out trades before letting them go. I seriously doubt any team has clearly worse players than ours in their 36-40 slots, but who knows? I think Walden needs to prove himself in the minors, assuming there is one, next year, and then maybe get another shot at the bigs.
  21. moonslav59
    He did look good in 2019, but it may have been a fluke. He may be one of those guys that can be DFA'd, go unclaimed and return to our minor leagues as a non 40 man roster player. I must admit, I don't know much about Payamps, so maybe Walden belongs ahead of him, but who on my list would you DFA before Walden?
  22. moonslav59
    Wonder what a Lance Lynn & Odor trade might have looked like.
  23. moonslav59
    I think Merrifield is over-valued.
  24. moonslav59
    Maybe one year was too long.
  25. moonslav59
    Eaton $8M vs Beni $6.6M (not that we had a choice, this year)
