    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.

    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.

    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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

    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.
  7. moonslav59
    I'm not sure they see in Brewer.

    Beni is still young enough to have a career year in the next few seasons.
  9. 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.
  10. moonslav59
    There are a few, like Devers, who catch my eye in single A, but by and large, you are right.
  11. moonslav59
    It was a tree trunk!
  12. 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.
  13. 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?
  14. moonslav59
    Wonder what a Lance Lynn & Odor trade might have looked like.
  15. moonslav59
    I think Merrifield is over-valued.
  16. moonslav59
    Maybe one year was too long.
  17. moonslav59
    Eaton $8M vs Beni $6.6M (not that we had a choice, this year)
  18. moonslav59
    Some signings... Carlos Santana signs with KC for $17.5M/2 ($1M in incentives) Adam Eaton signs with CWS for $7M/1 with club option for $8.5M for year two ($1M buyout)

    Certainly, their pen was their strength, but they only had the third best RP fWAR in the AL. They were 15th in Blown Saves at 20 (56 Saves). They were 11th in xFIP- (95) & 14th in K/BB (2.63).

    The famous 2004 Sox who had just 5 GS'd by anyone beyond their top 5 starters. Record in GS'd: 25-7 Schilling 19-14 Pedro 18-15 Lowe 17-12 Arroyo 16-14 Wakfield All 5 starters had team winning records in their starts. In those 5 starts from others, the team went 2-3.
  21. moonslav59
    Then, there is always the exception that is found: the 2015 National Championship Kansas City Royals: SP (listed by most GS'd) 33 Volquez 13-9 3.55 28 Ventura 13-8 4.08 24 Guthrie 8-8 5.95 24 Duffy 7-8 4.08 18 Young 11-6 3.06 13 Cueto 4-7 4.76 Team SP'er 65-53/ ERA 4.34
  22. moonslav59
    Part of the decision making is based on who they think they can sneak through waivers, which normally you'd think is based on skill level and value, but there are other factors, like age, options remaining, years of team control and positional needs. I would think that because Brice is out of options, he'd clear waivers. Most teams are protecting their 40 man roster slots, right now.
  23. moonslav59
    So, you switching to the Mets or Sox?
  24. moonslav59
    I'm thinking we roll the dice with what we got, and if we are in the race, we may make an Ian Kinsler type move, next summer. Nobody excites me, but the sheer quantity of second baseman on our roster could produce someone who is not a net minus. Arroyo Chavis Munoz Chatham Arauz

    Closing the window, when bargains should be plentiful is unforgivable for a team like the Yanks.
