    It would be more of a benefit to a team facing a tax.
  2. moonslav59
    Trading Devers in not realistic. Take it to another thread, please.
  3. moonslav59
    He is one of the top catching prospects in all of baseball, and catchers are hard to find. I realize his level makes him more of a gamble, but I'd roll the dice on him. (I also think Chavis looks like the next Middy, so it's just $3.8M a year for 3 years for a player that would be a top 3 prospect on this team. That is more than worth it, IMO.
  4. moonslav59
    Understandable, as every team values their good young pitchers. I'd love to see us get pitching, but I'd take Campusano with Myers & $30M. I'd even give them Chavis for that package.
  5. moonslav59
    What third team doesn't need a good, young pitcher?
  6. moonslav59
    I've never got any sense of that in the least.
  7. moonslav59
    I'd do it for Campusano or maybe Morejon + Weathers.

    1. I said he was a little bit of a letdown, and I prefaced it with the context of me thinking he'd hit 50 HRs. Of course, I realize my expectations were too high, but that doesn't make me a dum dum. "Let down" does not mean he sucked. 2. He was here for more than just 1 year, and I don't think I'm a dum dum for not basing anything on just one season. Here are the number for his last 2 years with SD and his next 2 years in Boston: .930 (1374 PAs) SD .883 (1399 PAs) BOS & LAD 3. He was 29 his first year in BOS- that's super prime. It's not unreasonable to expect improvement.

    If you look at Bonds's body shape early in his career, you can guess he was not on steroids, then.
  10. moonslav59
    We did with Julio Lugo, too. (As softy used to say, "He was our wire to wire SS...")
  11. moonslav59
    The Ellsbury collision was 100% on Jacoby. He never even opened his mouth to call Beltre off.
  12. moonslav59
    I remember looking at AGon's spray charts with SD and thinking he'd hit 50 HRs with Boston.
  13. moonslav59
    So, HRs is your only criteria? (I happen to agree with you that AGon was a little bit of a letdown in Boston. We traded him just in time. He declined sharply after 3 decent seasons in LA --.803 to .830).
  14. moonslav59
    He was great and would have been great (but not as great) without cheating. If obvious cheaters belong in the HOF, then he should go. Personally, I'd let him in on his last vote.
  15. moonslav59
    Myers was never great. He's never been over .797. He hasn't really declined all that much. Here's some different breakdowns of his career: .759 first 4 years (1663 PAs) .768 last 3 years (1482 PAs) .734 first 3 years (987 PAs) .795 middle 2 year (1325 PAs) .749 last 2 years (833 PAs) Here's what Myers is a plus: vs LHPs .877 in 2019 (104 PAs) .805 in 2018 (141 PAs) .790 in 2017 (172 PAs) .814 in 2016 (163 PAs) Yes, Mike Lowell had just one bad year, but it was worse than any season Myers has had in a long time. .658 in 2005. Maybe Bloom know something about Myers and thinks he can get him to hit more like .795 than .749, but to me, it's all about his production vs LHPs and our ability to add a young player.

    lol!

    Some early ST'ing numbers (5+ ABs): OPS 1.875 Duran 1.762 Ockimey 1.286 JBJ 1.238 Pillar 1.089 Chavis 1.071 Plawecki 1.000 Beni 1.000 Wong .929 Lin WHIP (2.0+ IP) 0.00 Reyes 0.00 Velazquez 0.50 Johnson 0.67 Tapia 1.00 Brewer, Eovaldi, Perez, Weber 1.13 Osich

    If he can keep up a decent OBP, his speed would do nicely in the one slot, but minor league decent OBP does not always translate to the bigs. Duran's minor league OBP: .376 (880 PAs), but it was .309 at AA, last year in 352 PAs (.456 at A+).

    Let's hope he's not on the IL as much as Jake.
  21. moonslav59
    We were also penalized one year for IFA signings. I have said all along, within the context of our draft choices and penalties, DD did well with his picks. However, our farm still sucked after he left.
  22. moonslav59
    It's not. But, I guess if one team is asking for more- the other is asking for less.
  23. moonslav59
    I'm 100% behind Bloom.
  24. moonslav59
    I would not give up on the Myers-Quantril trade. Bloom is probably pushing for more cash from SD, and will wait until they realize nobody else will take Myers.
  25. moonslav59
    Sale was a horse before 2018.
