    Exactly. I'd rather have a steady Pivetta than another Kluber.

    Conversely, if he can stay healthy, maybe he can have the time to find a groove and stay in it for long enough to show real value.

    Not really. They keep feigning serious interest in signing just about every notable FA. They put out the news and "leaks." To this fan, it is backfiring. It only makes it worse. I knew all along to not believe their words, and only actions would convince me things have changed, and the words and words keep coming. The actions? Chapman Wilson Talk of trades, too. Talk, talk, talk. Maybe we end up doing something significant, but seriously, does anyone, now, expect we do more than we did before ... 2023? Yoshida, Duvall, Jansen & Martin? 2022? Story, Wacha, Hill & Strahm? Hell, we lost more value than we may sign, this winter. Yes, there is a long way to go, and there are still several useful FAs left to outbid other GMs to get. I'll say it again, I'll believe it when I see it.

    I wouldn't give him $14M/1 or $20M/2. Haven't we seen enough Klubers, Richards, Paxtons and Hills for a decade?
  5. moonslav59
    I'd rather we just come out and say we will not pay big for anyone.
  6. moonslav59
    Yup. This is all one big drawn out sick joke.
  7. moonslav59
    We could have gotten him for $217M/7. LOL!
  8. moonslav59
    This is almost reaching comic proportions. Sox now "putting together a formal offer for Burnes." LMAO!

    I agree, totally. A 1 or 2 year rebuild, here and there is okay, as long as a window is being built up, but that is not what has happened. This has been a 6 year rebuild with an outlier fluke season in 2021.
  10. moonslav59
    Good ones?
  11. moonslav59
    I guess JD, Story and Yoshi are mid-level.
  12. moonslav59
    I think we had the 18th best record.
  13. moonslav59
    The premise was signing Bregman.... not to play SS.
  14. moonslav59
    You want this guy?
  15. moonslav59
    It does seem like a long time ago, but the three decades of pain that came before JH was worse.
  16. moonslav59
    The last time was way back in '21.
  17. moonslav59
    I know how to tell time. I also know when I see the same movie ten times in a row.
  18. moonslav59
    I get the idea that we have some massive talent in the pipeline. Sure, nothing is guaranteed, but we can only play 9 everyday players, at a time. We need to choose wisely, but we need to choose. Choose who to trust and build around, and who to trade to fill other needs. It need not be for a 1 or 2 year player that limits our window. We can trade a few 5 year players for one 3-5 year player and still be about the future, while also making a push for the now.
  19. moonslav59
    I'm feeling really bummed about our 2025 chances. I still like how we are set up for the future, but until we take some plunges to fill some major gaps, as in pitching, we may never reach glory, again. I've asked this many times, over recent years.... How Soon Is Now?
  20. moonslav59
    The idea would be to trade Casas for pitching (like Crochet.) and improve the defense, so the pitching doesn't have to get 4 outs every other inning.
  21. moonslav59
    I fully understand what their plan is. (I saw it coming before 2018.) That is seperate from what I think needs to be done or should be done. The "sham" is their feigned interest in everybody and anybody to try and con teh fans into thinking they really want to add top talent.
  22. moonslav59
    What good is serious interest in all the best FAs, if you won't outbid anyone. Everybody who ever signs a big FA, knows they overpaid, and did it anyway. Apparently, we missed that memo. This winter already sucks. Now, our only hope is to trade some of our future for help.
  23. moonslav59
    I thought Fried might get $190M/7. It looks like the blue chippers get a 20-30% bump. Our top choices are dwindling. I'm not high on Burnes or Bregman, anyway. Ho-hum, another sham winter.
  24. moonslav59
    We'd need one of the big 3: Burnes, Bregman of Crochet, unless some other big name is traded.
  25. moonslav59
    Sign Fried and Estevez Sign Elias Diaz C (1 year) Trade: Mayer for Crochet Trade: Yoshida, Bleis & Cespedes (maybe throw in a little cash, despite what Arenado is owed) for Arenado (BTW, COL is paying $5M for 2025 and 2026 on Arenado.) SP: Fried, Crochet, Houck, Bello, Giolito RP: Chapman, Estevez, Henriks, Slaten, Whitlock, Crawford, Winckowski, Wilson C: Diaz & Wong 1B: Casas/Devers (Romy) 2B: Campbell (DHam-Grissom) SS: Story (Romy) 3B: Arenado (Devers, Campbell, Grissom) LF: Duran (Refsnyder v L) CF: Anthony v R/ Rafaela v L or Duran v L RF: Abreu v R/ Anthony v L DH: Devers/Casas vs R/ Refsnyder v L
