  1. It remains to be seen how many games Wilyer starts when a lefty is the opposing SP'er, and whose expense? (Maybe Ref displaces Rafaela vs LHPs, since CR's splits are about even, anyway.)
  2. There is room for both. Just play Campbell in CF and let Mayer-Story cover the middle IF. Rafaela takes DHam's uilitiy role on the bench and can platoon with Abreu, once Ref retires.
  3. I wasn't aware Devers went anywhere.
  4. Maybe Dobbins is one of those pitchers that defy all logic and somehow just get the job done, more often than not.
  5. "In the Name of Love..."
  6. I'm still holding out for Devers to pick up a 1Bman's mitt. If Casas fizzles out or gets traded, Yoshida has a slot at DH, again.
  7. Correct. He will stay, for a while, anyway.
  8. Good idea, and send Fitts to the pen to help Whit with the log relief role in mid to high leverage situations.
  9. Remember the guy, last April who was complaining about the guy "kicking the ball all around RF?" We all go overboard, at times, on smaller than legit sample sizes.
  10. To the Devers doubters and small sample size worriers, it's time to smile like Devers was, today. WOW! What a mood shifter. Updated OPS: 1.492 Abreu (Amazingly, his OPS goes down 130 by going 3 for 7 w 4 rbi) 1.310 Romy (showing maybe '24 was no fluke) 1.199 Narvaez (getting closer to being the #1 catcher) 1.143 KC (steady rookie) 1.071 Refsnyder (still doing well- today vs a RH'd SP'er) .974 Bregman (the notorious slow starter) .825 Devers for evers .733 Story (fine by me) Waiting for a turn-around: .591 Duran (maybe started game 2), .517 Casas, .473 Rafaela (3 hits in gm 2) Wong is at .279 w Narvaez breathing down his neck. DHam .182 is playing like he wants to be in AAA. 3 of our 6 SP'ers have ERAs over 5.19, but I doubt Houck or Buehler will lose their slots, anytime soon. Newcomb 5.19 or Fitts 4.50 will likely be the one demoted. The pen is surprising me, but the depth was always there.
  11. It's rather stunning, and Mayer and Anthony aren't even on the 40. Yoshida is on the IL. Grissom, Eaton, Thompson, Sogard and others are in AAA.
  12. To me, an Abreu-Refsnyder platoon is about as good as you can get. Both have massive splits and can PH in games they do not start. I hope Ref comes back for one more year, despite the longjam that maye come with Anthony's promotion. Of course, there is no room for all these guys plus Yoshida. I do think Rafaela could be a great uber utilityman (CF/2B/SS.) LF Anthony CF Duran RF Abreu-Refsnyder
  13. I can see not extending Abreu. Age 30 is nice enough. We have so many everyday players controlled for a long time, plus up and coming prospects, that focusing more on pitching makes sense. Extending Anthony, Mayer and maybe Houck & Whitlock by a year or two might be a better idea.
  14. We will likely see Navarro and Abreu start game 2. Yanks lost, today, so the current standings: 6-3 NYY 5-4 BOS 5-5 TOR 4-4 TBR (tied in 9th w TEX) 4-6 BAL
  15. Updated OPS Leaders: 1.714 Romy (7 PAs) 1.645 Abreu 1.267 Refsnyder (6 PAs) 1.210 Campbell 1.038 Navarro (13 PAs) .769 Bregman .732 Story .627 Devers (was at .174 after 5 games and .398 after 7 games!)
