    Wow, that's $85M in projected "sunken cost". I want to keep Sale. So, Price is owed $96M. We'd have to pay $45M just to get someone to take him for a bag of balls. We'd save $50M, but $45M is a lot to pay for nothing. Maybe there is some team with a guy making close to $45M that we can trade straight -up. Eovaldi is owed $51M. That $26.6M is over half of what he's owed. It probably makes sense to let him comeback in hopes that he builds up value, either for us going forward or to trade at the deadline. I doubt we trade any of the 3. The only other big contract that can even be considered for a trade might be (assuming a reset & rebuild) a JD trade. I wonder, if we'd have to pay much for him.
  2. moonslav59
    I'm disgusted by Wright, too, but the guy has been a good pitcher with a few stretches of very good pitching. I'm thinking he has trade value, too. Maybe someone would give us a decent prospect for JBJ, Wright & Johnson.
  3. moonslav59
    I can't see us trading DHernandez, unless it's part of a bigger package for a better young player with a surer future and/or higher upside. He's the only young pitcher we have that is major league ready and has shown something of value, this year. (Taylor is 26.)
  4. moonslav59
    How about Setember 1st, we DFA Curletta & Owings, add Houck and Chatham to the 40 man roster, and call those two up with Dalbec, Lin, Centeno, Lakins, Velazquez, Poyner and maybe Brewer. Do we DFA someone else (Kelley?) to add and call up Ockimey? (We could also put Price on the 60 day DL to make room.)
  5. moonslav59
    I'd rather just shut him down and hope it helps him prepare and stay healthy for 2020.
  6. moonslav59
    I've been throwing in Johnson on almost every trade suggestion I've made for years and years. Who can we get for JBJ, Hembree, Johnson, Velazquez and Travis?
  7. moonslav59
    I think Leon signs before arb for near min. We will keep Hembree. Wright is a tough call. I happen to think JBJ has trade value, and he'll be dealt not non tendered.
  8. moonslav59
    I think Barnes is due to bounce back and up his (trade) value for the 2020 deadline. Assuming a reset, we do need to think about trading any players with just 1-2 years of control left. Last Arb: Betts JBJ Wright Workman 2 arbs: ERod Barnes Hembree Of course, I'd like to keep Betts & ERod by extending them....
  9. moonslav59
    Just wondering, do you consider any of Price, Sale or Eovaldi "dead wood?" If yes, how much of their contracts would you pay to trade them for basically nothing or a long shot prospect with promise? If no, who is the deadwood? (Pedey is untradable) JD? Arb Guys? JBJ? Leon? (wont make much anyways) Wright? (see Leon) Hembree?
  10. moonslav59
    The Projected 2020 Roster (Assuming no trades, DFA's or FA Signings) SP: Sale, Price, ERod, Eovaldi, D Hernandez, Wright, Johnson or Velazquez RP: Workman, Barnes, Hembree, Taylor, Walden (Wright/Johnson/Velaz.) C: Vaz & Leon (Centeno?) 1B: Chavis & Travis, Dalbec or Ockimey 2B: Marco & Lin (Chatham?) SS: Bogey 3B: Devers LF: Beni (Travis) CF: JBJ? (Beni/Duran) RF: Betts DH: JD

  12. moonslav59
    Possible in-system options for filling some gaps in 2020: SP: S Wright D Hernandez B Johnson H Velazquez T Houck D Reyes M Shawaryn RP: (See SP'er list) Feltman Lakins Poyner Kelley Bazardo Gorst Joan Martinez 1B: Chavis (2B/3B) Dalbec (3B) Travis (LF) Ockimey (DH) 2B: Chavis (1B/3B) Marco (SS/3B) Lin (SS/3B/OF) Chatham (SS/3B) CF: Duran Lin Travis LF (Beni>CF)
  13. moonslav59
    Yup. I'm not high on Johnson, but if we reset next year, we might want to keep as many guys like him around, in hopes that one or two might have a decent season and keep us from being a last place team (although last place brings nice draft picks).
  14. moonslav59
    Yup, and the GM is long gone by the 7th year of the deal (or earlier).
  15. moonslav59
    Johnson's last starts in reverse order: IP ER 3.0 3 3.2 3 2.2 0 2.2 3 3.0 3 5.0 0 3.0 1____2019 3.0 2 2018 1.1 4 4.1 1 4.1 3 5.2 3 7.0 5 5.0 4 5.2 0 5.0 0 4.2 2 4.2 2 4.0 1 (Nice 5 game stretch way back when)
  16. moonslav59
    We also seem to be bunching our runs into fewer games than recent years... just like the old days.
  17. moonslav59
    Or $310M/10
  18. moonslav59
    Rest for 2020 by getting under the first luxury tax line. It would likely mean trading or non tendering JBJ and signing no free agents this winter, unless we trade more salary or do not offer some arbs. Then, in theory, we can spend large for 2021 (Betts?) and will have had 2 years of better draft positions and higher International draft pools to help start the farm rebuild. We can't guess wrong on almost anything between now and 2021 to make this a 1-2 year down time (cliff).
  19. moonslav59
    You stole my plan! (My plan does not include DD as the GM.)
  20. moonslav59
    Last year, it was .773...kinda like Sam Travis or Chavis.
  21. moonslav59
    OPS Against (notice all the pen arms): .438 Workman .614 Walden .616 Taylor .671 Barnes .677 DHern .687 Brasier .695 Sale .712 Lakins .728 ERod .758 Weber .759 Price .769 JSmith .795 Velazquez .802 Hembree .806 Porcello .815 Brewer .912 Eovaldi .963 Shawaryn .964 Cashner .972 Thornburg 1.013 Johnson K Rates (20+ IP) 16.4 DHern 16.0 Barnes 13.3 Sale 12.7 Workman 11.6 Taylor 10.8 Price 10.7 Hembree 9.0 Brasier 8.9 Walden 8.8 Eovaldi 8.7 ERod
  22. moonslav59
    I'd hate to lose Betts, and I'm on record with suggesting higher offers than just about anyone else is willing to give, but if we lose him, it's not like we won't spend that money elsewhere. We'll end up with something special, but I'd sure hate to see him go.
  23. moonslav59
    I guess I could have said our closer has been a louse.
  24. moonslav59
    True, and we may try and cut our losses by trading one of our 3 costly starters (paying part of their deals) to help with the reset and allow us budget flexibility to sign more under the radar players. Houston got this good by getting really bad for a few years. I'm hopeful we can get back to the top without using that model.
  25. moonslav59
    I agree, and although Holt has had injury issues, I'd try to keep him at a low cost. I'd play Chavis, Marco and Travis just about every game from now on. Bring up Dalbec, Chatham and Lin in September- maybe even Ockimey.
