  1. Brez has done well with the WOO pen shuttle service and putting Bello there. He may be hoping for the Suarez and Early returns to bump a starter (Rivera & then Sandoval) to the pen, but I think we need some outside help- as we do every year. Here are the OPS Against numbers as RP'ers. I divided them into 4 groups: Failures and not in our future plans: 2.500 La Sorsa (2 PAs Against) 1.378 Oviedo (18) 1.064 Uberstine (11) 1.013 Kahnle (43) (.713 Anderson w 32) _____________________ Not so good but will/may needed: .822 Slaten (104) .750 Watson (222 and improving) _____________________ Doing okay to pretty good: .692 Weissert (165) .652 Gamboa (32) .633 Samaniego (81, but not ding well in AAA) .614 Kelly (71 doing okay in AAA) ________________________ Doing well to very well .615 Guerrero (90) Big BOOST! .595 Chapman (134) Slipping, of late. .535 Whitlock (137) The BULL! .487 Bello (111) WOW! .419 Moran (145) One guy I projected to do well & has. .200 Rivera (10) Starting, for now.
  2. To get those three, you have to include Eyanson and probably Gonzales or Godbout.
  3. I've been high on Jeffers for a couple years. He's not great on D, but he can DH when not catching or we can late inning sub for D, if needed. Goodman, Langeliers and even Alvarez will be very costly. I hate giving up a lot for a rental, so I'd kick the tires on longer term solutions, but Jeffers might be who we settle on, especially if we find a longer term solution at SS/2B. We could also use a pitcher. I doubt we trade the future for 3 major add-ons.
  4. Lindor is owed $32M x 5. If the Mets pay $60M, it brings it down to $20M x 5. Yes, that's less than Story's $23.3M AAV for 1 year and one year only. Maybe $60M plus Story and Bello.
  5. For 5 years? That's almost like Story money, but Story has 1 more year. Lindor turns 33 soon. I'd want $60M plus they take Story or Yoshida (or both.)
  6. I understand most of the talk involving Lindor includes money coming from the NYM and or bad contracts going to the NYM. That does not change how I place the value on Story and Lindor. It is the starting point to placing value on any trade. Of course, I'll take Lindor over Story, if the cost is about the same or a little more, but we are talking 5 years vs 1 more (Lindor vs Story and Lindor vs Yoshida) We'd need money and bad contracts going to the NYM to make Lindor's deal affordable. We have to expect he will decline and he may decline like Story or worse. I'm not high on this idea, unless we knock the price way down. Someone mentioned $20M x 5. I'm not sure I'd prefer Lindor at $20M x 5 over Story at $25M x 1 w a $5M buyout for 2028. We'd be done with Story and have $20M to spend for 4 more years. That changes the equation.
  7. Maybe he's coming out of the funk. in 3 of his last 5 games, he did not allow a hit and the other two just one hit each. The 3 BBs in his last two games is concerning, but he walked none if 5 games beforrehand.
  8. At their dollar amounts, I'd prefer Story, but because I like him more. We know JH, if we take on Lindor's full deal, it means we don't sign a couple or more other key players in the next 5 years.
  9. Neto is second in DRS since 2025, but weirdly he is -15 in OAA (#20 out of 22 qualifiers.)
  10. He was hired by Bloom in 2021, so he's not a Brez hire. I'd say you have to extend him through 2027, at least.
  11. Yup, but his was just fun and games until he poked someone's eye out.
  12. We need a SS, and this might force Story to 2B for an added plus.
  13. Very true, and hence little chance at criticism.
  14. Was Devers recent enough?
  15. I'm super high on Eyanson, and I'd say yes. I'd even add Phillips or Holobetz
  16. Maybe the old Boston Globe site I think.
  17. Two tomorrow- day off- then 10 games in 10 days up to the deadline day.
  18. That was when insubordination actually meant something.
  19. I actually think 12-13 is better than most teams have, but it's what we've needed recently. Nobody thought of Newcomb, two decembers ago and he ended up making the April rotation. SWe heard enough about trading #8 to #11 Priester. This year the all healthy depth chart might have been: 1. Crochet 2. Suarez 3. Gray 4. Houck (known to be out for over half 2026) 5. Bello 6. Crawford (known to be out for over a month to start 2026) 7. Sandoval (same as Crawford) 8. Oviedo (soxprospects had him as our #5 for much of the winter) 9. Early 10. Tolle 11. Bennett 12. Uberstine/Sikkema/Anderson ??? Rivera
  20. Yes, I remember that and thought of deleting my post as it has nothing to do with how his teammates view him. My apologies.
