Even another year from Papi was not likely going to "replace Papi". His 2016 season was magical.

Vaz: 10 for his last 17 (HR, 3B & two 2Bs) Nunez 11 for his last 24 (2 HR & four 2Bs, 3 BBs) Devers 12 for his last 29 (2 HR & two 2Bs, 2 BBs) Even Moreland is 4 for his last 11 with 2 BB, a 2B and an HR)

I thought we were finally going to win one for Sale, when he was having an off night. Kimbrel ends up with the win, but hey... A win is a WIN!
-
It's getting to seem like a daily occurrence.
-
Two wrongs make a right. Vaz saves the day!
-
24 runs in the 3 games since this post. No games with under 3 runs. 33 runs scored in our last 4 games. Let's hope we stay hot right up to and through the playoffs.
-
Good to see a guy like Vaz get some limelight.
-
Freakin' YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I'd like to think you are right, but looking at the fact that Gray was acquired with no top prospect makes me wonder what if...
-
Maybe he is as of today.
-
No. It means Chavis is not a good enough fielder to play 3B. BTW, we'll need a DH by the time Chavis is ML ready.
-
...and he was one of our hottest hitters.
-
Maybe not, but the Yanks didn't give up any of their top 3 prospects. I'm not saying with certainty that Beane valued what he got more than Groome or Chavis or others, but if the reports were tru that DD didn't even inquire, then I'm wondering why. It might have taken Groome, Chavis and Beeks to come close.
-
It was a brilliant trade. You don't get chances like this too often.
-
Yes, and hand the 2B job to Lin. (LOL)
-
Every team can always look to upgrade their rotation. With Price on the 60 day DL and ERod still trying to regain form after his injury, I'll take Gray over Fister or Kendrick/Johnson everyday of the week. If we end up with 7 healthy starters next year, I'ms ure we can find a team willing to trade for one of them. Gray is also under team control for one more year than Pom.
-
My suggested offers were meant as starting points. I might have ended up offering... Groome, Ockimey, Beeks, Lakins and Swihart or Chavis, Dalbec, Beeks, Lakins and Swihart Maybe switch Travis for Dalbec or Ockimey. I'd have avoided offering Mata, but if the A's insisted I might try to find a way. Guys like Gray are not offered that often for no top 40 prospects at all.
-
MLBTR said DD did not inquire about SP'ing.
-
The Swami
-
Scouts won't even scout him.
-
I never came close to saying Holt and Swihart were centerpieces. I actually implied they could be throw-ins, if the A's were interested. My main point was that DD apparently never even asked about what it might take. Different GMs evaluate players differently than others and us. Maybe Beane really loves Beeks, Lin and Ockimey. Maybe not. I think Chavis would have gotten Beane listening. Groome too.
-
Maybe I'm undervaluing the Yankee players given due to their injuries, but I'm not so sure my offers are that off. I also think that if we included Chavis, Mata or Groome (just one), the A's would have listened. Maybe adding Houck or Scherff could get them to bite. On a team like the A's, Holt might play close to FT for several years.
-
He's been about as consistent as anyone else. He's had 3 hot months, but having 7 out of 12 above .800 is better than... Bogey's 5 of 12 Pedey's 6 of 11 HRams' 5 of 11 JBJ has 3 of 12 months below .730. Pedey had 3 of 11 HRam 3 of 11 All I hear about is JBJ's streaks. I'll take his last 3 years over anyone but Betts: .832 .835 .775 (Betts has 8 of 12)
-
Is JBJ ever going to lose that stereotype? Since his horrible ML start, he's been one of our most consistently good hitters: OPS by month since JBJ's last call-up in 2015 (14 months since AUG 2015) JBJ 1.163 .739 .807 1.175 .805 .839 .651 .731 .596 .808 1.009 .596 Bogey .761 .876 .785 1.017 .815 .830 .599 .750 .731 .949 .763 .452 Betts .857 .998 .757 .927 .792 1.068 1.086 .762 .802 .867 .857 .695 Pedey DL .500 .846 .870 .724 .862 .916 .742 .663 .818 .736 .903 HRam .444 DL .696 .842 .720 .940 .962 1.045 .719 .818 .764 .795 Months below .700/.700-.800/.800-.899/.900+ J.B.J.: 3/2/4/3 Bogey: 2/5/3/2 Betts: 1/3/4/4 Pedey: 2/3/4/2 HRam: 2/4/2/3 JBj has never had a month below .596, while Bogey has a .452 and Pedey has a .500
-
We could have given Groome, Mata or Chavis, but I'm thinking this might have been enough: Travis, Beeks, Lakins, Dalbec & Shawaryn or Ockimey, Beeks, Lakins, Shawaryn & Brannen Oakland might also be interested in Holt, Marrero, Lin or Swihart Word was, DD didn't even ask.
