    I would, but it's not my money. The Nats can do better.

    Updated tally after today's loss to the pen: Starters 16-22 (-6) Relievers 25-14 (+11)
  3. moonslav59
    Any one of the 4. It might depend on how the end of the season lines up.
  4. moonslav59
    I'd throw in Johnson (& Thornburg). Henry would have to be okay with paying mega taxes for a while.
  5. moonslav59
    Except to bump everyone down a notch and drop our horrendous 7th-8th RP from the 25 man roster. (I'd like to see us get 2 solid RP'ers.)
  6. moonslav59
    No, but DD can!
  7. moonslav59
    Yes, and I said "like yesterday" weeks ago.
  8. moonslav59
    The reverse of last night.
  9. moonslav59
    I don't look at it that way. I look at it from the perspective that the owner is trying to avoid paying taxes. Judging whether he should or not is a totally different debate. Once it is pretty much established that our owner is NOT totally opening his wallet to pay players, then I look at the budget with a magnifying glass knowing our budget has limits.

    I don't think they intended to go over. The whole system is complicared, and I think they made a mistake. They got Toronto to pay for part of Pearce's deal, I believe in an effort to stay under the max line.
  11. moonslav59
    Well said. Sale is still hitting mid 90's at times.
  12. moonslav59
    That's what we said about AGon. I remember predicting he'd hit 50+.
  13. moonslav59
    This is reminding me of Gedman's outlier season.
  14. moonslav59
    They will hit a lull at some point, and we will need to pounce. Maybe London will be the start of their fall.
  15. moonslav59
    Man, the Astros are in free fall. The Yanks are hot.
  16. moonslav59
    Based on just tonight? Team record: 26-26 w Vaz 14-11 w Leon (Not that this is the best way to judge value, but when you look at how much better Sale and Price do with Leon, I'm fine with letting letting Leon catch Sale every game. PH for him, if needed, especially since Vaz does very well with our pen. I'd even let Leon catch Price every other start. That gives Vaz 7 starts out of 10. That gives him the rest he needs.
  17. moonslav59
    Fantastic win! We finally had Sale's back. Marco with the huge HBP. Vaz, of all people, with the BIG HR! Chalk this win up as more to the pen than to the SP'er. Updated game by game running tally by my analysis: Starters 16-22 (Net: -6) Relievers 26-13 (Net: +13)

    When you total every dollar we are paying for our pen, Thornburg's contract represented a pretty big chunk of it. Maybe it's a personal bias I have against him, but I thought we should have given up on him last winter. Yes, it's not a majot amount of money, but when we only have $5-6M in budget space, adding $1.75M could end up making a big difference in who we can get.
  19. moonslav59
    We'll be "in it." My guess is we look for 1-2 decent pitchers who have some salary dump dimension to them, but who do not cost enough that their pro-rated deals put us over the max line. I look back to the Addison Reed and Nathan Eovaldi type deals as ones we may try to look for.
  20. moonslav59
    Nunez has hit at .758 in his last 17 games (since May 26th). Maybe he's snapping out of his funk. Ithers since May 26th: 1.056 Bogey .977 JBJ .929 Holt .918 JD .823 Devers .782 Beni .760 Betts .758 Nunez .750 Marco .683 Vaz .648 Chavis .623 Leon
  21. moonslav59
    What word would you have used for the 2018 trade deadline Eovaldi? Sometimes getting a pitcher who has not been doing all that good works out like a charm.
  22. moonslav59
    $1.75M in July is equal to paying a pro-rated $5.2M contract.
  23. moonslav59
    NC must have about 25 minor league teams. They love baseball. The problem is their population is spread out, and there is no central location that is close enough for several cities to drive to the games. Charlotte is probably the best area, but even if you place the stadium on the North East side of the city, I doubt it would be close enough to Winston-Salem/Greensboro to up attendance all that much. NC is probably a better choice than Montreal. Other areas I've though of are: Indianapolis Las Vegas Sacremento or San Jose San Antonio Buffalo New Orleans, Memphis or Birmingham
  24. moonslav59
    Chapman with the 3 run HR in the bottom of the ninth with 2 outs to beat the Rays 5-4. Rays score 4 in 9th! Sox gain a half on the Rays and drop a half on the Yanks who won. We're now just 3 down in the loss column to TB.
  25. moonslav59
    Time to cut ties. We could have used the cap space.
