    Yup. We even had someone upset we traded Blaze Jordan after he was like 4 for his first 11 ABs in MLB. Where is the outrage over Clarke, Fajardo, Aita, Fitts and Dobbins? (Maybe wait a while.)

    Woo won. Ward went 3-4. Campbell 2-3 POR lost but Winnay and MWhite homered. GRE won as Cespedes, Gonzales & Jackson homered. SAL is losing.

    I'm not sure why anyone would choose to have ump mistakes and call it "the human element." Foul balls are not a major concern to me, but sure- leave that to the ump and maybe make it challengeable. Put a chip in the ball? Meh. Check swings could be robo-called, IMO. Balks is a tough one.

    Now that we got a RHB with some power to play 2B, we no longer should consider LHB B Lowe because he plays 2B, and maybe not some other RHB we looked at for other positions. I'd still like Jeffers at C, but I dont want to pay a bunch for a rental. Langeliers is out for the year. Goodman will cost 2 arms and 4 legs. I doubt the Mets will trade Alvarez. LF/DH? Mead can help at DH, and Yoshida/Romy are doing okay as a DH platoon. Duran is heating up. Anthony can play LF or DH, if he ever returns. SS looks like a position that could be upgraded, and some big names are being mentioned (like Lindor, Abrams, Neto, Pena and Adames) but again, the asking price will likely be beyond absurdity. We may not be adding another bat. SP'ers and RP'ers are probably first on Brez's list, especially after trading Early and no clear picture on Crochet's return.

    MIL (356) and NYY (342) have let up fewer ERs than us but not LAD. The Dodgers are tied with us at 364. I'm kinda surprised at us being only 4th in DRS and T3rd in OAA has us on defense, but fangraphs has us listed 3rd best, but that's still way better than 2024 and 2025. 2026 AVG: 3rd 2025: 12th DRS, 10th OAA & 5th fangraphs. (AVG: 9th) 2024: 6th DRS, 25th OAA and 26th fangraphs. (AVG: 19th) Fantastic improvement.

    We may have been a big help turning BAL and TOR into sellers.

    Yanks play tonight. i'm not sure when I start believing the CWS are for real. Here are the updated AL standings: 62-43 TBR 59-45 NYY -2.5 55-49 CWS 54-50 BOS (-1 from CWS) 53-51 TEX 54-53 CLE (last WC team and 3 losses more than BOS) ___________________________ -1.0 MIN -1.5 SEA -2.0 HOU -2.5 BAL -3.5 DET -5.5 TOR (That BOS series was big for TOR. We might have made them into sellers.)

    How many Brez trades are clear losses now? Sale? Yes. Harrison & Drohan? Err.... Priester? Err.... maybe.... Early? ..... TBD...... (Weird how his flagship Crochet trade is the only one seeing the stock go sideways.)
  9. moonslav59
    Those two losses to WSH (8-1 and 10-2) seem like a year ago. What a difference just one month can make. This should be a lesson to all of about counting a team out in mid June, even if there are 6 teams between that team and the last WC slot.
  10. moonslav59
    Rafaela almost had 2 hits. That lineout nearly lost us the game! He's reverting back to bum city.
  11. moonslav59
    The brilliant solution is to just have every pitched called by robo and relayed to the plate ump to call in the traditional manner. Seamless. Unnoticeable. 100% correct calls. No delays due to challenges.
  12. moonslav59
    IMO, Slaten and Weissert (plus Moran and TG) are better than many teams have. I also think Whitlock might be the best #2 RP'er in MLB over the past 1.5 seasons. That being said, I'm not against adding a solid closer type.
  13. moonslav59
    It doesn't make sense to keep them all. How many borderline infielders do we want on the 40? We also have Eaton & Sogard. (One or both could be traded.)
  14. moonslav59
    Funny how some are/were pining for Teel. Meidroth even. Somehow they were never "suspects." Drohan was the perfect example. Rule 5, Rule 5 returned. Then traded: big mistake! LMAO
  15. moonslav59
    Great win all around. Nice that they could break Suarez back in slowly. Decent offense. Keep the mojo going.
  16. moonslav59
    He sure had a nice game today. I'd be the happiest guy on this site, if he has a great end to the season. He has always had all the tools.
  17. moonslav59
    I liked him but was against signing him at even our final reported offer. I'm glad Brez "botched" that one! LMAO!
  18. moonslav59
    ...and then they want to say we need to accept that this is the way the world is now. Note: we may have to accept that clowns and A-H***s dominate the world, but it doesn't mean we have to agree with it.
  19. moonslav59
    Yes, and now nobody can say he's afraid to trade top prospects in the summer- something he really has not done. The Crochet, Gray and Contreras (& even the Oviedo) deals show he's more than willing to trade top 10 prospects- sometimes multiple ones in more than one trade. Last winter: 4 Perales for Bennett 6 Jh Garcia (and Travieso) for Oviedo & Samaniego 8 Clarke (and Fitts) for Gray 10 Fajardo (plus Dobbins & Aita) for Contreras (Also #12 Sandlin with Hicks for Ziehl.) How many GMs do all this in one winter? The winter before was... 4 Teel, 5 Monty, 8 Meidroth & 18 Wikelman for Crochet (The Elmer Rodriguez for Narvaez was not really major.) Yorke, who was #6 at one point for Priester was maybe the highest prospects traded during the summer before Early.

    I'm not sure he views the Duran situation and "summer trade worthy." Same with DH and Yoshida/Romy. A lot depends on how they view an Anthony return.,, actually he affects both positional outlooks for 2026 and beyond. We now have too many infielders, especially when IFK, Mayer & Story return from the IL. The recent KC improvement may not change much, in terms of trade talks and who stays vs who goes. IKF will be a FA, so maybe we see what (little) we can get for him. Maybe we trade Mayer. Story has negative trade value. Guys like Monasterio & Siegler do not have major trade value and seem like capable depth, but with Cheng, Sogard and others, maybe we deal one or two in some sort of package. Unless it's Mayer, any return will not be eye-opening. I'm looking at Catcher and SP'er as the most likely major moves being talked about as we speak.
  21. moonslav59
    I'm almost positive another summer move is in the works- maybe even 2 significant ones. We know winter moves are fast and furious and often major ones.
  22. moonslav59
    Durbin is likely an outstanding 2Bman, too, but I like the idea of not messing with moving him.
  23. moonslav59
    Still? After all these years?
  24. moonslav59
    And a sizable chunk of our yearly budget. It's not happening. We coulda signed Soto, if we wanted to pay that kind of money and not had to trade the whole farm. We won't do either, so this is a double no.
  25. moonslav59
    I'm not so sure, but it would have to mean Mayer gets traded and one of these two things happening: Story get's given up on or the Arias arrival put on hold. We could eventually use Mead at DH, 1B or even LF and find a slot for Arias and Story, but I see your point.
