    Yes, I took it that way, and many of us feel that move is long overdue.

    What highlights the circus carousel atmosphere of our 2B position since 2019 is looking at the total innings played by the 38 different players we played there the last 7 seasons. Only one player has enough innings, TOTAL! to be close to a full season's worth of innings. 1248 Arroyo 825 EValdez 814 Story 679 DHam 584 Kike 556 Chavis 472 Campbell 469 Holt 418 Romy______ 292 Marco Hernandez 259 Marwin 245 Grissom 235 Reyes 221 Rafaela 208 Urias 208 Arauz 204 Nunez 203 Peraza_____ 164 Sogard 123 Iggy 109 Yolmer 102 Westbrook____ 71 Lin 65 Owings 57 Mayer 56 Downs 49 Turner 41 Lopez & Chang 30 Gasper, 29 Wong, 28 PEDEY, 20 Munoz 18 Vaz, 11 Motter, 9 Short, 6 Dalbec, 3 Devers

    2019-2025 OAA at 2B 27th Boston at -25.
  4. moonslav59
    2019 to 2025 team fWAR at 2B: 28. BAL 4.0 29. BOS 3.3 30. COL -1.2
  5. moonslav59
    Only because they had their future SS (Story) at 2B for most of the year. It's been a cluster since Pedey, with a few brief moments of bright flashes here and there.
  6. moonslav59
    Right now we have 3 players on the 60 Day IL: Houck Romy Oviedo Maybe Crawford or Casas join the list, as soon as we feel we need to add someone to the 40 for a ML promotion. Sandoval also seems a thread away from the 60, but he is still actively rehabbing in actual games. Slaten is on the 15 and Contreras is day-to-day. All-in-all injuries suck, but some teams have it worse than we do.
  7. moonslav59
    I agree, but Romy did have very good numbers last year and was decent vs righties.
  8. moonslav59
    I'm not sure how fed up with Watson they are, but my guess is they chose an option that keeps as many people around as possible. Moving Crawford to the 60 can be done retroactively, I believe, so they could time it just about right. Casas seems to be no closer now than a month ago, so same with him. We could deal an everyday player to make room for a pitcher, but I think the 60 Day IL seems the most likely.
  9. moonslav59
    Our 40 man roster AAA Pitching options are limited: Samaniego (just demoted) Uberstine Tolle Bennett (Sandoval on rehab) Others who would need to be added to the 40 first: Kahnle Guerrero Song Gamboa, Keller, martinez, Sweet & Webb
  10. moonslav59
    I expected this, before the Durbin trade. Had we signed Bregman, maybe a Mayer/Romy platoon at 2B.
  11. moonslav59
    I'm not sure Romy had earned Cora's trust as a FT'er, despite his slightly better numbers vs RHPs than Abreu's vs LHPs. Cora went with Abreu as the FT RF'er, but maybe the plan was for Romy to platoon at 2B and maybe DH some, but the DH/OF slot was already overloaded. Romy splits in 2025: .978 v L/.718 v R in 185 PAs (Romy faced more RHPs than LHPs in '25.) Cora went with Abreu after these 2025 splits: .676 v L in 68 PAs) /.808 v R
  12. moonslav59
    3 more pluses: Jason Delay 1.125 Vinny Capra 1.041 Mickey Gasper .982 3 starting out badly: Nelly Taylor .174 Nate Yuten .276 GRod .385 ___________________ Pitchers: Devin Futrell .171 OPS Against Jake Bennett .289 Juan Valera .476 Bad starts: 1.141 Luis Cohen 1.008 Kyle Keller .951 Patrick Halligan
  13. moonslav59
    Agreed. He's doing much better with POR than after his late season call up in 2025- both small sample sizes.
  14. moonslav59
    Oviedo to 60 Day IL. Crawford returned from rehab without being activated. I Coffey to AAA. Allmer to AA. Futrell to A+ D Reyes added to A- from extended ST'ing
  15. moonslav59
    These results don't mean he wasn't the intended major return piece.
  16. moonslav59
    It's amazing that when you look at the runs scored stat, it's always exactly the same as the team's runs scored.
  17. moonslav59
    He'd be fine as a #6bat vs LHPs and a #7bat vs RHPs, but we don't have enough good hitters to make this happen. He needs to play 2B... starting yesterday.
  18. moonslav59
    It is one stat that seems to jive closely to runs scored- better than BA, SLG, HRs, ISO...
  19. moonslav59
    I think Durbin was the centerpiece of the trade- not the comp pick.
  20. moonslav59
    No. It was tongue in cheek.
  21. moonslav59
    Using options doesn't matter. Of course we should call him up, the second we think he's ready.
  22. moonslav59
    Indeed, and when his "high need" area is his bat, this is a good sign. He got off to a pretty good start last year and stalled... .824 first half .623 2nd half However, he was promoted twice and was making adjustments and facing tougher pitchers near the end of 2025. .804 A-> .709 A+> .685 AA The kid was in FCL to start the 2024 season, so reading too much into second half drops may not be valid.
  23. moonslav59
    Where do you fins this info? (and thanks.)
  24. moonslav59
    He's had a knack for run prevention.
  25. moonslav59
    So then the Devers trade was okay?
