    I don't disagree. I'm thinking one- maybe two- might be gone from Yoshida, Duran or Story. Yoshida might be the best of the three on offense, but DH is the easiest slot to replace on our current roster. Possible DHs: Mead or Story (assuming Arias at SS) Gasper- Jones Duran-Romy There is also Casas, Sogard and maybe Brannon or Jo Garcia. If Duran returns as the LF'er, Anthony should be the FT DH. If Story returns as the 2Bman, Mead could/should be the FT DH. We might try to keep some flexibility by keeping Duran and Story, but if Arias is a starter, there would be a significant DH logjam. since only Story or Mead can play 2B. Then, we'd have Anthony and Duran to play LF and/or DH. I'd be fine with Duran on the bench, but not at $8-9M.

    Abreu Should be the #5, but 3 is okay. I'm not sure AR should be the #5, either, but who else?
  3. moonslav59
    Uh no.
  4. moonslav59
    Love this! LOL
  5. moonslav59
    Cratered would be a better term. Basin seems lame.
  6. moonslav59
    To mock you.
  7. moonslav59
    Not surprising at all. I'm worried, too. It's the tone of certain or near certain doom that I question. I'd feel better and more confident, if we were hitting better, too.

    We played nearly 3 months of the worst baseball in MLB, this year- then we didn't. Now, a few weeks of batting poorly becomes insurmountable?
  9. moonslav59
    The Cubs have scored more runs than anyone else, and it helped thhem to the 7th best record in MLB (one ahead of PHI and 3 ahead of BOS.) They've scored 6 runs in their last 3 games. Are they toast? They scored 23 runs one game, then 1 in the next two games combined. Isn't baseball the best game in the world?
  10. moonslav59
    I can find many examples where we sucked for a game or two or more vs crappy pitchers then beat up on a good or great one.
  11. moonslav59
    Anything can happen in any 3 game series. Baseball is not totally random, but it's closer than most other sports. It's one reason there is a 162 game season. It's easy to feel like "the way we are playing now we don't have a chance," but the way we are playing now hardly ever continues for very long. That's baseball.

    G Rod had a .695 OPS w GRE, but only had 57 Ks in 353 ABs. He was an IFA signing by Bloom in 2023.
  13. moonslav59
    12th in OPS and 16th in wRC+ If you wanna cherry-pick June 25th>>> 5th in OPS & wRC+ and 7th in runs. Much of that time was without Anthony, Story and others.
  14. moonslav59
    Let's hope Ceddanne's MRI comes back clean.
  15. moonslav59
    The thing is, winning 2 out of 3 does not need a "miracle." We don't need to go 32-5 to advance far into the playoffs. We can win a ring by going exactly 13-9.
  16. moonslav59
    And none of them are starting. 52-28 in the game the 3 started is pretty awesome. Of course, other teams have better records when their three go, too, but I like our 3 as much or more than anyone else, especially in the AL. I think it will come down to the bats and avoiding bonehead plays.
  17. moonslav59
    Brez might prefer Jones over Romy as a platoon DH guy, and Romy's value as a back-up 1B is now covered by Sogard. His value as some sort of 2B platoon could still be in play, but only if Story is not at 2B or on the team AND Mead is used at DH. You are probably right. I always liked Romy. He still has some trade value but not a lot.
  18. moonslav59
    Baseball fortunes can and do change on a dime. We all saw that beginning June 25, 2026. There is no reason to think we cannot heat things up again. True, there is no hint we will, but were there hints on June 24th?
  19. moonslav59
    Very likely, but almost leading the team in PAs last year makes me wonder. (I'm thinking he plays 2B in 2027- perhaps with another team, and Mead is our DH.)
  20. moonslav59
    Same with the Yanks facing better pitching.
  21. moonslav59
    Agreed, and there is hope Arias can boost the SS offense. (Also, Story had a 104 OPS+ in 2025. (It's 98 from 2024-2026.)
  22. moonslav59
    Said the same about Refsnyder.
  23. moonslav59
    Just get the mojo rising in the Big Apple.
  24. moonslav59
    He's not a lock to be an allstar, and certainly 300 PA sample sizes can be a fluke, but I trust Brez not to give up Early for a fluke. (That's not the only reason I have confidence in him.)
  25. moonslav59
    SP's projects him to be in the GRE pen, next season's start. He'll turn 23 mid season.
