    This will be a big game for ND. MIA is no push-over. An ND win might put them in the top 3.

    I like DHam's D at 2B.

    I was extremely vocal about my disgust over how little we invested in our pen. Remember, we just lost 2 pretty big pen contracts in Jansen & Martin. I felt like the only hope was that our SP'er depth could be used from the pen. That really hasn't happened. As great as Chapman and Whitlock have been, it's a bit surprising to see that the rest of the pen has a better ERA that our SP'ers as a whole.

    Buehler had more chances than he deserved to right his ship. It capsized, leaving us with sunken cost and an SOS signal that Tolle will attempt to answer.

    Certainly, one post season should not be used as a template for others, or this year, but let's look at 2018 and the pitching usage: GS: 5 Price, 3 Porcello & Sale, 2 Nate, 1 EROd. This confirms that only 3, maybe 4 starters are needed. Now, IP 26 Price, 22 Nate and 15 by Sale and Porcello totalled 69 IP and 54 by the rest. If you add the two top RP'er IP it's 91 out of 143 IP or 64% of all innings by 6 guys. The 6 for this year might be... Crochet, Bello, Gio & Tolle plus Whitlock & Chapman, Not too bad.

    @Brock BeauchampAre the results in?
  7. moonslav59
    For a rookie, I think it makes more sense for continuity to start off.
  8. moonslav59
    Another failed SP'er signing... Martin Perez I & II Garret Richards Corey Kluber James Paxton (Sandoval?) It looked like Gio was going to be, too. He still cost us $38.5M for 1 season.
  9. moonslav59
    I think going with the more experienced Wong with Tolle, is a good idea.

    Keller is a decent #3 SP'er making decent money. Reynolds is grossly overpaid for like 5 more years, but he's better than Masa.
  11. moonslav59
    That's why Brez has to remove Yoshida from the 26.
  12. moonslav59
    Yoshida and Campbell + Mullins for Keller & Reynolds and some cash.
  13. moonslav59
    Brez has to do the dirty work for Cora and keep Yoshida off the 26. I'd clear his spot off the 40, this winter, no matter what the sunken cost is.
  14. moonslav59
    I'm not as high on SEA pitchers, anymore. 1. Ryan 2. Keller (not because he's 2nd best, but he's paid a lot and PIT probably wants to deal him.)
  15. moonslav59
    He might have started to with that big dinger.
  16. moonslav59
    Also, Jh Garcia demoted and Sogard promoted.
  17. moonslav59
    Buehler released!
  18. moonslav59
    Next up... (this winter) ... Yoshida.
  19. moonslav59
    Wow! I mentioned this as a possibility, but figured we'd send Bernardino down for 3 days, instead.
  20. moonslav59
    They used to be the number one source. It's so bad, now, they should just give up and shut down, or do a major revamp.
  21. moonslav59
    It's a pandemic!

    There does not appear to be as much money to spend as many seem to think there is. While we have very few expensive arbs, the extensions kicking in are costly. $3.8M> $28.2 Crochet $457K> $16.3M Anthony That's over $40M. We also added Hicks ($10.3) and Lowe (last arb $10-12M) We can nontender Lowe, but we are stuck with the Hicks contract. Then, Duran: $3.75M>$8M or 3rd arb. Now, Bregman and Chapman need to return or be replaced, in kind- likely at more money. Maybe add $10M AAV for those two, combined. We might be at $60M on just these guys, before we even look at signing anybody. Losing: $21.1 Buehler $19.3 Giolito $5M Hendriks $2.3 Wilson $2.1 Refsnyder That's not $60M.
  23. moonslav59
    Assuming no Gio, Buehler & D May, our SP'er depth chart for 2026 might look like this: Crochet Bello Sandoval Tolle Crawford Dobbins Fitts Harrison Criswell Early, Perales, Sandlin, Uberstine, Mullins (No Houck until 2027) On paper, this is not as good as the top 12-13 depth chart we had, last fall/winter.
  24. moonslav59
    I was surprised and pleased at the depth Brez put together for our 2025 rotation. IMO, it went at least 12 deep, but that included Sandoval who was due back in August, and we all know how those deals work out for the Sox. Crochet, Houck, Giolito, Bello, Buehler, Crawford Newcomb, Fitts, Priester, Criswell, Dobbins, Wink/Whitlock We traded Priester, then traded for Harrison. We traded newcomb, then traded for D May. We just called up Tolle, who wasn't even listed in the top 12 to 13 on the winter depth chart. Now, looking forward: No Houck, Buehler, DMay and Giolito (assuming to mutual option trigger.) We added Tolle and maybe Early, Perales, Sandlin and someone else. Crawford, Sandoval, Dobbins, Fitts, Criswell and Wink are all hurt. One could argue we need two #2s and 2-3 more depth arms.

    Cots is losing credibility.
