10/28 World Series Game 5
moonslav59 replied to Jasonbay44's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
I know! It's like I'm floating through my days with a bounce in my step. -
The thing is, we already have Nunez, Holt and a dream of Pedey for 2019. I think his only hope is at 1B, assuming we don't add anyone. I think we trade either Chavis or Ockimey this winter and hold onto Dalbec.
-
I never called him a top MLB prospect or said we'd get something great for Chavis, Johnson and Swihart. I'm just hoping for a better 5/6 starter than Johnson.
-
I can't agree with a single point made here. Eovaldi has more health issues than Sale. Betts is a GG RF;er and JD was made for the DH role. Bogey is not a great defender, so dreams of a Bogey-Betts keystone combo are ill-founded. 2Bmen are easier to find than good all around OF'ers, and we already have Holt/Nunez under contract..
-
I don't disagree, but we need a closer, a set up man, and a 5/6 starter. What will we have left over to get a solid 1Bman? My guess is we punt for another year and try to keep Pearce to platoon with Moreland or give Chavis/Ockimey a chance and go looking mid season, if they fail.
-
I could see the Phillies going nutty on Machado or Harper. I think we may see this: Phillies: Harper & Kimbrel Yanks: Machado, Corbin & Morton Cubs: Kershaw LAD: Keuchel & A Miller HOU: Eovaldi & Y Grandal BOS: Ottavino & Pearce STL: Donaldson SEA: Cruz MIL: Brantley & Britton WSH: Ramos COL: M Gonzalez, Happ

I vowed not to watch the NBA anymore after the league fixed the Warriors into the finals, but my Bucks are the last undefeated team in the league. I'm torn!

While true, HRam was pretty much FT at 1B/DH until May 24rd.he played in 44 of those 50 games (195 PAs)- 25 starts at 1B and 19 starts at DH. We were 29-15 in his games. Moreland played in 34 of our first 50 games, but 8 of those games saw him get 0-1 PAs. We were 22-12 in his games. He started just 26 of our first 50 games.

I doubt he can ever play 2B well enough for the bigs. 3B is blocked, unless he can out field Devers and force him to 1B (doubtful). That pretty much leaves 1B, DH and OF, of which only 1B has room for playing time over the next 2 years. 2019 needs a 1Bman vs LHPs, and 2020 needs a FT 1Bman. There's nothing weird about his splits. The 2018 AAA sample size is puny. vs RHPs: .917 (24 ABs) vs LHPs: .644 (9 ABs) Look at AA in 2018 (small too) vs R .880 (97) vs L .964 (25) 2017 A+ vs R: 1.009 (152) vs L: 1.073 (71) AA vs R: .846 (203) vs L: .602 (45) 2016 vs R: .674 (223) vs L: .858 (56) It looks like he's never balanced, but overall, he's pretty close to even vs lefties and righties.

Agreed. Once they bungled the Lester negotiations, I liked the idea of the fire sale. I was puzzled by the Cespedes return, but when we got Porcello and extended him, I was fully on board. I loved the Miller for ERod deal, but I had hoped we could re-sign Miller. I loved the 1 year of Lackey for 5 years of Kelly, and I also thought maybe Craig could be our solution to the 1B issue. I liked the Peavy for Hembree & Escobar trade and Doubront for Marco Hernandez. I called the Dodger dump one of the greatest Red Sox trades in history. I even liked the Miley trade. It's Ben's signings that sucked. Even the ones that worked, like Vic and Dempster were at least a year too long.
-
Pass. This one is easy.
-
I'd love to see the Yankees sign this cancerous, cantankerous, crusty clown. Plus, we can see a few brawls along the way.
-
1B is primarily a big offensive position. I'm already hearing a poster say we should get a FT 1Bman this winter. Moreland fell off a cliff two years in a row. Last year, we blamed the foot injury. This year, hardly anybody wanted him playing in the playoffs, even against a RHP. It was a good deal, then a bad deal, then good again. 2017: .689 in his last 77 games (283 PAs) 2018: .578 in his last 61 games (227 PAs)

Well, there has to be a better choice to be a bad call. Maybe there was a pitcher who dominated more than JBJ's 9 RBIs, almost all of which put us a head near the end of 3 games. 9 RBIs was a third of all the runs we scored. Price pitched 2 games in the ALCS not 3 and had a decent, but not great 3.38 ERA-- 32 outs out of 44 batters faced. E-O pitched in 2 games (7.1 IP) with a 2.45 ERA-- 22 outs out of 31 batters faced. Again, I don't see a pitcher as deserving as Price was in the WS. Recap: JBJ clears the bases loaded with a dbl to put us up 5-4 in game 2. (We were down 1 game to none.) Down 5-4 in game 4, JBJ hit a 2 run job to put us up 1 Game 5, tie game, he hits a 3 run job to clinch the win. I never said it was all about PAs vs batters faced. I said that was the deciding factor (assuming everything else was kind of even). -
Yes, the 1 year of a possibly disgruntled Lackey for 5 years of Kelly looks better now than a year ago. The 2 months of Miller for many years of ERod deal looks great now. Peavy for Hembree, well, maybe a little better. A probable lost Lester for Porcello via Cespedes looks better than after his first year here. Melancon for Holt...
-
..and Pom was a good deal... ...and Kimbrel was a great deal... ...and Moreland was a good deal, then a bad deal, then a good deal again...

I'm thinking OF is easier to grow old in. Maybe he moves to LF in Fenway at age 39.
-
How about trading Chavis, Johnson and Swihart for a pre-arb better 5th starter or pen arm? You know a lot of players from other teams. Who can we get for that trio?
-
I'd see that as a nightmare. JD would get hurt tripping over himself. Betts would get spiked by Machado the Yankee, and Beltre would need micro surgery on his knee.
-
Trading Chavis would unblock him.
-
I believe it's $15M: $13.5M plus $1.5m for finishing in the top 3 of Cy Young recently. That adds some to the budget, but I counted him at $15M on my chart.
-
Yes, he was paid $18.5M a year plus the $1M a year for the buyout spread over the 5 year deal (minus the $500K SF pays him). You are right. We were charged $19M a year x 5 for tax purposes, and the $5M in 2020 does not count against the tax. My bad.
-
Cots has the $5M buyout listed but not on the tax page. #

Was I adamant? Was there a dominating pitcher that did more than JBJ? If so, I'll listen. Maybe I missed something and was blinded by my JBJ man crush. -
