    Mostly elusive, for sure.
  2. moonslav59
    It's almost like we have too much RH'd hitting, now, except none are really great.
  3. moonslav59
    Yes. The fact is, he's had decent power.
  4. moonslav59
    Not buffoons is not equal to brainiacs, but we've read this lack of vocabulary story before.
  5. moonslav59
    I see 28 per 655, but good point. (2019-2025)
  6. moonslav59
    No love for RHB Durbin?
  7. moonslav59
    I know people like to think management is made up of buffoons, but everybody and their grandma knew KC as an awful defender all along. Maybe they hope his athleticism would help him improve, over time, but they knew from day one and even before day one.
  8. moonslav59
    I think they knew he sucked and thought he could hit his way above it all. Afterall, this is the team that went with E Valdez for almost the same amount of time.

    What are we in middle school?

    Fangraphs projected 2026 RP fWAR 2.3 Miller 2.1 Duran 1.9 Jax 1.9 C Smith 1.7 Chapman 1.7 Diaz 1.5 Abreu 1.4 Hader 1.3 Whitlock 23 teams don't have a closer with a higher projected FWAR than Whitlock. Only Hader/Abreu have a higher projected fWAR as a #2. Last year's FWAR leaders: 2.7 Cade Smith 2.6 Chapman 2.2 Whitlock

    What wagon and what hitch? I'm fine with Thaiss, and due to the optout issues, I'd add him and option Wong, for now.

    B-R shows "80" from 2021-2023. I'd don't see OPS+ on this data. Seasons Age Team WAR G PA AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB CS BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS OPS+ rOBA Rbat+ TB GIDP HBP SH SF IBB 2021-2023 25-27 BOS 2.4 159 473 432 66 100 29 3 10 44 8 2 28 157 .231 .288 .382 .670 80
  13. moonslav59
    Since Thaiss has the opt out clause, I'd think keeping him around makes more sense. Wong has options, so let's use one.
  14. moonslav59
    I guess we see things differently on this.
  15. moonslav59
    If you knew what that big word meant, I might take your post seriously.
  16. moonslav59
    I'd project 22-25 HRs for Willson.
  17. moonslav59
    So, the argument is take the consistently bad guy, so you know what you got? Again, I'd be fine with Thaiss as the #2 with Wong optioned to AAA as the #3, but I'm not so sure about better offense in 2026. BTW, Wong has an 80 OPS+ before 2024 in 473 PAs. 113 in 2024 (487) 42 in 2025 (188) While I agree, his 2024 numbers were padded by luck, but why are we so sure 2025 is the real Wong? He had a 960 PA sample size before 2025. I do not think the 96 OPS+ was sustainable, but I don't think he's a 42 OPS+ guy either.
  18. moonslav59
    In ST'ing or the 69 innings in MLB, last year or the 189 in AAA? I'd say the jury is out, but hiding him in LF shouldn't be the end of the world. With 4 OF'ers ahead of him, it would take Rafaela at 2B to find enough time for KC in the ML OF.
  19. moonslav59
    Neither can Thaiss. Career: 87 OPS+ Wong 81 OPS+ Thaiss It's like replacing the Talban with the Taliban, 20 years later!
  20. moonslav59
    He was scratched for Cloudy Gray.
  21. moonslav59
    I think Abreu has legit 30 HR ability. He just needs 600+ PAs and to not suck vs LHPs. Casas averages close to 30 HRs per 650, but what's the chances he even gets 325 PAs? Contreras might get some "Fenway Homers" but he's only hit over 22 HRs once. Story might get 20-25, if healthy all year. Narvaez hit 15 in 445, but shouldn't get too many more PAs to be able to get over 20. I think Duran and Rafaela have a better shot at 20+ than Narvaez, due to many more ABs. The wild card in Anthony, and it's hard to know how long it might take him to got to 25 or 30, but I think he does, someday.
  22. moonslav59
    It is a concern. here were the K rates from 2025 (150+ PAs) Losing Bregman hurts in this area, too, but we lost some high end guys, too... 30 Mayer 28 Anthony 27 Story & Campbell 26 Refsynder 25 Narvaez 24 Duran, Abreu, Romy, DHam, Casas, Lowe 23 Devers 22.5 MLB Average 22 Wong 20 Rafaela 15 Toro 14 Bregman 12 Masa Additions: 25 Contreras 23 Monasterio 17 IKF 10 Durbin
  23. moonslav59
    They said the same about Altuve.
  24. moonslav59
    Right now? Fine?
  25. moonslav59
    I've given up hope.
