With Seattle and Texas involved, the deadline market for 1b is surprisingly competitive. But not so much that Naylor will command a huge price as a two month rental. I think every name mentioned on his own is an overlay here. And if AZ demands to much, move on towards O’Hearn or Bell or Hoskins or Santana or Diaz or Ty France… -
Sox have been linked to him…
-
BTV gives Kelly $4.4mill surplus value and Naylor $3.1mill in surplus value. A “fair trade” would be 17yo OF Harold Rivas. But will that be enough for AZ? It seems like an easily beatable offer…
-
One thing to keep in mind is that with no August waiver deadline anymore, July 31st is the last chance to trade for outside MLB starter depth. I don’t think anyone wants to see the deadline pass with no starters, only to then lose, say, Giolito and Bello for the season in mid-August. Fitts and Harrison can only carry this team so far…
-
Very much so…
-
As mentioned multiple times, Anthony is apparently under the weather and limited to DH. If that’s the case and they don’t want to start Refsnyder vs RHP, Yoshida is the best option for OF. Yoshida did soend an entire season playing LF for Boston. Bregman hasn’t played 2b since 2018, where he logged a whopping 11 innings in that role. Now if you want to see Bregman at 3b, Mayer at 2b, Rafaela in CF, and Duran in LF, that’s another matter. But I think they still want Yoshida hitting…
-
They are all playing. If Anthony is sick, that’s why he was flip-flopped with Yoshida. The only other option for LF would be Refsnyder. I think he has shown us his OF skill set. It’s tolerable when he can contribute by hitting LHP, but a liability when facing RHP…
-
Good idea. That way Cora can save his day off for when he’s healthy.
-
Obviously you put Yoshida in LF in the park with the deepest LF down the line, no foul territory and brick walls that use ivy as a safety feature. This ought to clear up that OF/DH depth problem…
-
And both starters had rough first innings but then pitched very well. For Giolito to give up 3 ER three batters into the game but then only 1 ER over the next 5.1 IP Bello, too. Started the game with back to back HRs. Then gave up 4 H and one walk while getting 18 outs. Neither looked bad after a rough start. And neither was the problem…
-
Not Abraham Toro, whose OPS vs LHP is worse than Abreu’s.
-
It also takes the onus off him. I mean, why does he never say “I’ve got to manage better?” Letting Wong with 2 men on in a 3 run game is just negligent…
-
It did help Imanaga he was largely facing a B team lineup due to some bizarre strategy involving not letting left-handed hitters face left-handed pitchers…
-
Agreed. Cora is indefensible as a manager
-
So glad to go to this game and see Refsnyder and Romy and Toro and Wong ALL IN THE SAME LINEUP!!
-
You’re all over the place…
-
You clearly mentioned Campbell. (See below.) If you meant Meidroth, don’t blame us.
-
I’m just hoping there’s a game to go to. I do want to see Imanaga pitch, but he did shut down Boston last year to one run over 7 innings. And that run came on a home run from a guy no longer with Boston…
-
And a great blooper everywhere else lately…
-
Think so? Without Steele, I think their rotation is ok but they have no depth.. If we had Daniel Palencia closing, fans would want an upgrade. And their starting 3b has an OPS+ over 20 points lower than Campbell got demoted with. Oh, and their bench is useless. On the other hand, an elite defense. If every starter got nominated for a Gold Glove, it would not surprise me. (And I will be surprised for every one that doesn’t except Carson Kelly.) They have 2 legitimate and one dark horse MVP candidates. And Counsell seems to be a good manager.
-
And they were both on display in that costume…
-
You’re really going with her worst movie here, Satanica Pandemonium?
-
Why? Will this stretch change the numbers I gave? I never said the offense was perfect or even good. But to call it anemic when they scored 92 runs in a 13 game stretch certainly raises questions about what was expected…
-
Bench Mayer and play Toro? Why?
-
Bad thunderstorms expected this afternoon in Chicago. But they’re expected to be done by first pitch…
