We might hit $20M on just those two!
-
I was talking about THE championship.
-
I don't disagree. I have said, today, we should count on zero PAs from Pedey next year. I'm not giving up hope just yet, but we need to plan accordingly.
-
Good summary. I think arb raises will be more than $20M. We have tons of them. Betts 2 of 3 Bogey 3 of 3 JBJ 3 of 4 ERod 2 of 4 Holt 3 of 3 Thornburg 3 of 3 Leon 3 of 4 Wright 2 of 3 Smith 2 of 3 Barnes 1 of 3 Hembree 1 of 3 Swihart 1 of 4

9/16 vs Mets

It can be dangerous to sub for your starting catcher without a back-up, but it does happen, especially when it's the playoffs and a key PH moment comes up. I've been arguing for 3 catchers for weeks. It seems like more and more people are agreeing or considering it more and more. -
9/16 vs Mets

Can we please stop bashing Cora? He's a big reason we are where we are-- home field throughout and able to rest anyone we want. They are handling Sale the best way possible. He'll be ready to pitch 90-110 pitches by game 1. -
Yes, he is. FA Tracker (assuming we give Sale & Nunez their options)... After 2018: Kimbrel, Kinsler, Pearce, Eovaldi, Kelly, Pom, Phillips 2019: Sale, Martinez (opt out), Porcello, Bogey, Moreland, Nunez, Holt, Thornburg 2020: Betts, JBJ, Wright, Leon 2021: ERod, Vaz (option), Barnes, Hembree, Pedroia
-
True, but I'd still rather have a healthy Pedey than Holt/Nunez/Hernandez next year.
-
Of course, I meant if we let Kimbrel go, we'd spend the money on several RP'ers. I'm not for letting Kimbrel go and not doing anything with our pen needs. (BTW, Kimbrel has not been "flat out dominant" this year, and we're breaking winning records here.)
-
We won't know much about Pedey until he gets out there, assuming he does. I mentioned maybe signing LeMahieu. We might try Phillips but he's going to be another year older. We'll find someone to add depth.
-
Even if we don't keep Kimbrel, we should be fine, unless we win a ring this fall and look to reset the tax by dumping some salary.
-
I'm sorry to hear this. I hope our championship this year brings you both some joy.

Here's what I dug up on Lucroy: With Oakland CERA 2.79 with Phegley 3.95 with Lucroy 3.96 with Maxwell OPS against with specific pitchers: Manea .519 w Maxwell .544 w Phegley (just 25 PAs) .689 w Lucroy Mengden .558 w Maxwell .751 w Lucroy n/a w Phegley Jackson .656 w Phegley .684 w Lucroy Petit .495 w Maxwell .663 w Lucroy .796 w Phegley Cahill .582 w Phegley .663 w Lucroy .810 w Maxwell Montas .569 w Phegley (26 PAs) .823 w Lucroy Treinen .292 w Maxwell .433 w Lucroy .442 w Phegley Anderson .598 w Lucroy .780 w Phegley Pagan .296 w Phegley (21 PAs) .693 w Maxwell .844 w Lucroy Brewer Pitchers Career Gallardo 2.93 w Estrada 3.57 w Maldonado 3.60 w Kendall 3.80 w Chirinos 3.94 w Lucroy Lohse 3.66 Molina 4.03 Lucroy Peralta 3.99 Maldanado 4.43 Lucroy Garza 3.25 Navvaro 3.66 D Soto 4.10 Maldanado 4.75 Lucroy J Nelson 3.61 Lucroy 4.26 Pina 5.63 Maldanado .

It's not about career CERA. CERA is not supposed to be used that way. I'm not saying these guys are good, bad or ugly with pitchers, I admit, I don't know, but before I go out and get one, I want to make sure he'll make our pitchers feel comfortable with him. With Lucroy, it's hard to do any research on CERA with him vs the other catcher on the 4 teams he's played with in the last 3 years. I'd be very happy to have Leon back next year, even if he hits .500. I'd rather spend our resources on our pen and maybe keeping Kinsler.
-
Who did USC play yesterday?
-
I know it's not happening. You should thank the Rays for helping you towards home field with the A's.
-
I understand that. Plus, .720 is not bad even for many starters at 2b and 3B, including our own team. Sox 2B: .671 Sox 3B: .697 Look, I'm glad we have him. I'm glad we kept him. I admit I was wrong. My feeling last winter was that we no longer had a DH only DH, and the need for a super utility player who could play 7 positions was no longer that important anymore. I had also hoped Pedey would return after a couple months, Nunes would be healthy and Marco Hernandez or Lin could cover, if needed. I'm glad my trade suggestion was not followed.
-
Yes, that is true, but so is this.... He's a .720 hitter who is not really a plus defender anywhere.
-
I'm fine with obtaining a catcher that can do close to what Leon does with our staff but can also hit better. Name names... (I'm also willing to go through a learning curve with a new catcher as long as he has a history of handling pitchers well.) I'm not happy with Leon's .520 OPS or our sub .575 combined catcher OPS, but I still view our catchers as a net plus, as is.
-
If Devers, Nunez, Kinsler & Holt make it, Lin is out.

9/16 vs Mets

Good point. -
Nobody has claimed the cliff arrives in 2019. Some think after 2019. I think we can be competitive in 2020, if a lot goes right, but we will see a big drop off, unless henry decides to go over the $40M for several years in a row. (Doubtful.)
-
110-52 sounds real nice. If it happens, it happens. rest everyone as needed and see what happens.
-
He's signed for another year ($4M). I guess we could try to trade him, but I think we won't.
-
His CERA- related numbers look favorable from year to year.
