    ...and with all the SSs we drafted, why didn't we get one like Neto?
  2. moonslav59
    True, even if we added Witherspoon or Valera. Do you think it takes a bigger offer for Neto or KMarte?
  3. moonslav59
    The thing about our OF is that all 4 do worse vs LHPs, even our RHB Rafaela. Since Rafaela isn't a good hitter against L or R, maybe we sit him vs some RHPs, so Duran plays some more OF and Masa or Casas get some ABs at DH vs righties. It's a juggling act that was needless. We shoulda done something last winter, and did not learn the lesson, in 2025, either.
  4. moonslav59
    Mayer & Harrison for Neto, maybe, but LAA probably says no.
  5. moonslav59
    He started over Abreu vs LHPs and was well deserving of it for 3 years. He's a top 5 batter vs L...in MLB! no the team.
  6. moonslav59
    If we move Masa, it won't be for anything but salary relief.
  7. moonslav59
    He might be the one we keep all the way through.
  8. moonslav59
    I'd have bitten the bullet and traded Mayer + Tolle for Marte. (I'd expect a prospect back, but I'd do the deal without one.) We are in a 3-5+ year window, right now. KMarte could start a steep decline at any moment. I fully understand the gamble, but Mayer & Tolle are gambles, too. Marte is a switch hitting power bat, who also gets on base enough and plays 2B pretty well. We could have still done the Durbin & Contreras deals, and even IKF would be okay, but we'd probably have to save some money to pay for KMarte. Maybe deal Sandoval with no IKF. Of course, trading Duran and his $7.7M AAV might have been done.

    It was used as a verb not as a nickname, but a certain poster who rhymes with Fred fits the name.
  10. moonslav59
    If he stays healthy- bif if- he could hit .790 to .840, yes.
  11. moonslav59
    No. I only said he could be "the key," if he does.
  12. moonslav59
    I knew you'd like that one. I'd call projecting 4th place, because we added Contreras not Alonso is worse than "Chicken Little."
  13. moonslav59
    Nobody I remember liked it here. It's his performance after he left I'm referring to. Had he done great, we'd still be hearing how we botched the early negotiations and how he would have taken $___ or $___.
  14. moonslav59
    You do realize I was agreeing with the use of the word "suspect" for Mayer. You aren't "the only one:" I am one, too.
  15. moonslav59
    Agreed, but these two additions don't account for the nearly 550 PAs lost from Devers and Refsnyder. Anthony could get 300 more PAs, and Abreu will start hitting vs LHPs, so there is still some doubts. I do think the Chicken Little cry-outs are a bit overboard, but not without a bit of merit.
  16. moonslav59
    I thought KMarte was worth it, but apparently, AZ wanted someone other than the greatest offensive player in the universe.
  17. moonslav59
    Anthony has a 9 year contract, if you count the 2034 club option season. I think he turns 30, his last control year. Seems perfect, to me. Mayer has not been extended for a reason, and if your term "suspect," which You’ve made this statement several times already, so good for you, was ever true, it is for Marcelo.
  18. moonslav59
    Next, you'll tell us you were "right about Bogey."
  19. moonslav59
    Yes, I get what you mean about the long deals. Add 1 WAR and it adds 7.
  20. moonslav59
    They must not use 2025 FWAR or bWAR to project.
  21. moonslav59
    I think BTV wonders how much WAR Rafaela will put up.
  22. moonslav59
    That's been a point I've been making for a while. We know our team inside and out. It's easy to concentrate on the faults or be hypercritical. I don't see how many other AL teams got better, especially those that were good in 2025. The O's did, but they sucked last year.
  23. moonslav59
    Haven't heard much pining for Bogey, lately.
  24. moonslav59
    The Cards are paying $4M this year and next.
  25. moonslav59
    I think almost every GM wants Rafaela at that cost. Even the last 2 years are fine: $10.5M in 2030 $13M in 2031 $16M option in 2032 w $4M buyout. Some team would look to trade him by 2030 or before 2031.
