  1. What else could he possibly mean on this baseball forum?
  2. Well, we did not acquire their closer. We sent them ours....
  3. Yes. How much of Marwin's offensice track record was helped out by garbage can thumping? Since leaving Houston, his OPS+ is 87. Munoz' is 98. So yes, Munoz could leap him this year, if you don't think he already has. Now as a switch hitter, Gonzalez does provide a LHH bat for the bench, which some talking heads have called a need for this team. In that regard, as little faith as I have in Marwin, I will concede hit hits left-handed better than Munoz probably would...
  4. Possibly the same info they withheld about Carson Smith? Seattle seems like a lousy team to acquire a closer from...
  5. I'm more OK with Sawamura, dspite his being a compelte mystery to me. At least he was brought in to address pitching. Gonzalez is just a bench bat. Is he really even any better than Yairo Munoz?
  6. Secrets he clearly kept from his nephew Mark Leiter Jr. And you know Mark Jr. completely blew off his dad and went to Uncle Al for that advice. You would have, too. Just like Mike Maddux's kids probably did...
  7. Exactly,. If a player tears his ligament on April 1, he gets put on the 60 day IL. That doesn't mean he will have surgery and be back on he mound on June 1st...
  8. Boy you went anti-Franchy fast...
  9. Maybe. But I still think he wouldn't be seen in a better light than Julio Teheran...
  10. So it’s February 22nd. Jake Odorizzi is still unsigned. He was arguably the second best free agent starting pitcher. His demands are reportedly reasonable and for less late bloomer and off and on closer Liam Hendricks actually received. Yet no one wants Odorizzi? Either he has some medical issues or a seriously toxic personality...
  11. I was saying this just the other day to Dale Berra and Pete Rose Jr...
  12. Payamps is back!! For maybe a week...
  13. It’s February 22nd and you think it’s time to cut the cord? He’s on the COVID list, which means he’s either sick or been exposed. You know? That pandemic thing that was in the news...
  14. Can the Brewers afford to have a Boras client as their fourth OF?
  15. Maybe so. His OPS of .610 seems low, but after 204 PA, even Pedroia only had an OPS of .636. Those first 203 PA are not always representative. Of course, if Oakland thought he might turn into even a fraction of Pedroia, they might not have DFA'd him...
  16. The A's DFA'd CF Dustin Fowler, who should get claimed. Fowler's MLB OPS is only .610, but also only in 203 PA. In AAA, his OPS was .842. If nothing else, he could be a cheap stopgap until Duran...
  17. Or why the Brewers are interested in JBJ, as they have Yelich, Cain and Avisail Garcia already...
  18. Cain has 2 years $35 million left. He's also 35. So it had better be a whole lot or they need to include a pretty tantalizing prospect (which is not exactly something they have a lot of)...
  19. Sort of like saying "at this juncture, Chris Mazza is a better pitcher than Deivi Garcia...
  20. Think you're 90 games better if the Sox have Sale and ERod? The Sox 3rd, 4th, and 5th most frequent SPs were Zack Godley, Chris Mazza and Ryan Weber.
  21. So move Correa to 3B. Story is actually the better all around player anyway...
  22. At age 23, Devers had a .793 OPS in MLB, but apparently that was not a good year. At age 23, Aaron Judge posted a .777 OPS in AAA and AA, but he has "mashed every year." Got it...
  23. MLBTR has a post up abouyt the Sox using a 3 man bench (which Soxprospects has had up for a while now). But they also mention Chavis as a versatile piece.. Seems to me, Chavis is the 4th option on the bench if he is on the team, barring injury. I would assume Plawecki, Arroyo and Marwin Gonzalez are all higher on the depth chart than Chavis...
  24. And maybe then they can bring in Correa or Story to play SS, move Bogaerts to 3B, move Devers to 1B, and move Dalbec to LF/DH...
