2b, bullpen, and outfield (yes, outfield) are all higher priorities than 3b. And it's doubtful all of them get addressed...
-
That's absolutely NOT an enticing deal for Boston. The Yankees have seen Torres struggle. Do you think Miguel Angular and Justus Sheffield for those same two Reds is "enticing"?
-
What's he going to teach Devers? How to fracture the left fielder's ribs? How to throw a tantrum when someone touches his head?
-
Chavis is worthless until he can prove 2017 was not the result of performance-enhancing drugs. Travis is not someone the Reds will not target since Votto's contract doesn't expire until the Earth crashes into the sun...
-
Maybe he's been refusing those type of offers. ..
-
Maybe I can change it up after all those years ending my part with 3 periods. I can try ending each one with 3 semi-colons for a while;;;
-
He has an app for that...
-
Every post that doesn't end in a question mark...
-
Rental trades are fine. You just have to know that renting a Toyota is ok over renting a more expensive Rolls Royce...
-
You can't really count on that. Most early trades are blown away offers. If early trades were cheaper, more teams would make them. This looks like a case of KC either being impatient and making a bad move, or really liking those particular Nats' prospects more than most scouting organizations did. (Fangraphs had two of them at 7 and 10 in Washington's system.)
-
Is he serious?
-
Eh. They could simply bench him. The guy makes Jonny Gomes/Chris Young money...
-
I don't. I think he is Henry Owens 2.0, with the new "less hype" feature.
-
My favorite baserunning blunder was Clay Buchholz trying to score from second on a double and getting thrown out. Or (going back a bit here), Allen Trammell getting thrown out going to second base on a successful hit-and-run single to right field by Chet Lemon. (Credit to one Marty Barrett for fooling Trammell into running back to first.)
-
And that he just stupid there in man's land on that triple play
-
If baserunning miscues were grounds for DFA, Moreland himself might be the first one out the door. Starting with that boneheaded triple play in Baltimore and up through his single off the center field wall against the White Sox, Moreland has shown a pretty fair lack of awareness on the bases. It was the option and very likely the option alone. ..
-
Teams that stand pat always get ripped by the media for doing so. And this means many fans will believe the team is wrong for doing nothing. "What kind of message does this send to the players? That the FO thinks they're good enough and don't need any help? Yeah right!!"
-
That doesn't mean they shouldn't...
-
So.. shouldn't any GM you're hoping to deal him to for bullpen help feel the same way? Bear in mind, there is no next year for a GM in a trade here...
-
Maybe move Pomeranz to the bullpen?
-
Jalen Beeks, Blake Swihart and the rights to "Sweet Caroline", of course. What else would you expect?
-
And I don't think Difo represents much value...
-
Asdrubel Cabrera has a .864 OPS vs LHP in that same timeframe. He makes $8.2mill this year, which should be under $4mill at the deadline, and is on the books for $10.2mill for next year (including the buyout). The Mets are going nowhere fast. This makes him an upgrade over Nunez and his .647 OPS vs LHP...
-
Which is one of two problems with these "sell the future for the present" team philosophies. The other is thst eventually the future will get here. There is no way any GM can guarantee success. The best he can do is influence his team towards or against it...
-
Maybe a deal of Blake Swihart for Wilmer Difo? Both players are 26 with plenty of service time left. The Nationals are getting limited production from their catching situation and have Danny Murphy back off the DL. The Sox are getting limited help from Nunez at 2b and Holt can't back up everyone at once.
