    Especially if you only saw those two bad throws against the Reds and Brewers…

    There’s a big difference between “this guy is terrible “ and “this guy is terrible this year.”

    The Sox really need to stop trying to change everyone’s swing…

    I liked Cheng. I demote Seigler there. Hes largely redundant with Mead. i think it’s 12-1 in Cheng starts. But yes, I’m on board…

    No idea why, but didn’t they try to change too much about Campbell’s approach and swing? And maybe get rid of that toe tap? He still has elite batspeed and only struggled for one month in MLB. If he is learning to hit with a drastically different swing, of course he is going to struggle. Although frankly, I thought they tried to fix something that might not have been broken…

    It is surprising how many have written of Mayer, Campbell and Anthony after the three have a combined total of about 1,000 plate appearances…

    For the sake of having a metric, BTV gives Mayer $29mill in surplus value. I don’t think many teams want him at that price point, but I think every team does have an acceptable one for him. That no team would take him period is ridiculous….

    Most GMs do. But Edward Cabrera still finds work every year. If the Sox DFAd Mayer, do you think there are GMs that don’t try to claim him?

    Hopefully Sox have a big lead tomorrow…

    Which NW burb?
  11. notin
    I can promise you zero GMs would not want Mayer. Now, the number willing to give up something good to acquire him is up for debate…

    I think it’s more of a statement about Kade Anderson than Anthony…

    30 hours from where I live where we do get those 95-100 degree hot stretches, but luckily the tornados come trough and cool us off…

    Wong is a good bunter and is second on the team in sacrifice hits. The thing is - bunting isnt easy

    No. Always wears a hoodie with the sleeves ripped off….

    Utility guy an acquired from the Athletics after he was DFAd. His primary position is Expendable Extra…

    Find a post where I “pawned off” Duran. Whether or not the Sox want to love Yoshida wasn’t even remotely thr question that you (naturally) completely avoided. Not that I expected an actual answer…
  19. notin
    Agreed, outside of the WAPM (inside joke), all projection models are flawed. BTV isn’t definitive and never claims to be. But it has enhanced trade talk significantly…

    I never said I would “pawn off” either one. I do consider both to be available due to deoth at each’s respect position. Duran, however, is a definite “sell low” candidate right now. If I were a Mets’ fan, a team that just traded away Nimmo and watched it help crater the offense, I could absolutely get behind buying low on Duran. Now tell me as the self-appointed Voice of Reason - why is it you think Sox players with expensive contracts like Story and Yoshida are completely unwanted around the league, but Lindor, who himself has struggled, is roughly the same age, but is more expensive for far more years than either Sox players - is strongly desired by Mets’ fans and impossible to pry away from them?
  21. notin
    Right. Well thank you for being the pulse of Met Nation along with Red Sox Nation and the One True Voice of Baseball Fandom…
  22. notin
    You mean that 75 year old guy that dates teenagers?
  23. notin
    A surprising number of real trades di meet their model. of course a more surprising number of people claim BTV is wrong because they feel they better understand player valuations…
  24. notin
    Now you speak for Mets’ fans, too?Im not surprised Mets don’t want to deal Lindor. Right or wrong course of action, they just dropped three quarters of a billion on Soto and didn’t do so to rebuild in year two of that deal. And while Lindor’s contract is bad, it’s not the worst on the team. Semien and Manaea are both worse. And maybe another deal or two are as well. But that wasn’t the question. The question you posed was “if I was a Mets’ fan, would I like that trade for Lindor?” And I answered it exactly as it was asked. Of course the Mets are not averse to shedding the occasional questionable contract, like Nimmo. And they were willing to move him for a worse deal that was shorter term. So maybe you don’t speak for the Mets as well as they do…

    Well then have your daughter show you what you’re doing wrong…
