    I actually moved on from trading Duran a while ago and thought Bello was the more viable trade piece, largely because we had really crazy SP depth at one point, but also because more teams need controlled SP than arb-eligible outfielders…

    Not good, because Bugs would throw his glove at a ball out of reach to catch it (successfully, no less), but during a non-cartoon game that would result in the hitter being awarded 3 bases…

    He did also just turn 26. His injuries might not linger like they can on a 35 year old..

    I’ve just never heard that word used in a baseball context before. Can you also do one with “trebucheted”?
  5. notin
    They say lots of things. But they might find themselves reacting differently as situations change…

    Poleaxed?
  7. notin
    They might eventually. Triston Casas isnt dead…
  8. notin
    Do we know he isn’t catching part time yet? If Casas comes back and Narvaez struggles or gets hurt, maybe we see Willson play catcher. But it’s hard to say he aged out of the position in St. Louis when they had plenty of depth at catcher and none at 1b…

    That’s why I’m glad they kept all the OF. Apparently no one wanted Duran at their price, and I’m ok with them not settling just to clear up the logjam that could very easily fix itself in time…
  10. notin
    Because: 1. He sucks at catching and his tendency to set up too close to hitters proved dangerous. He broke his left arm when it was struck by JD Martínez mid-swing. 2. St. Louis had multiple catching options and no first baseman. Last year they carried 3 catchers not counting Contreras. Ivan Herrera’s arm surgery limited him to DH duties, but they still had Pedro Pages and Yohel Pozo doing the catching.

    Getting Schwarber also means sitting one of Duran, Anthony, Abreu or Rafaela. Did you subtract that out?

    Last month - Ranger Suarez…

    Gasper isn’t going to make the 26 man roster and might not stay on the 40 man very long. You really can’t (or maybe I should say “shouldn’t “) equate the top 26 roster spots to the final 14, especially since Gasper has an ability Schwarber and Alonso don’t - the ability to be demoted to AAA. Because that is vital for those last 14 roster spots…

    Every struggling hitter can get free advice on hitting major league pitching on this board…

    The rift between Dombrowski and Harper is overblown. Harper isnt going anywhere…

    Nobody counts the Mariners…
  17. notin
    Then why were you bringing up Gasper at all?
  18. notin
    And Judge and Trout and Betts and Skubal and Freeman But cheap ass Breslow went out and got Alex Siegler and Alec Gamboa instead!!!
  19. notin
    And moot. They didn’t sign Gasper and then decide they didn’t need Alonso or Schwarber…
  20. notin
    The issue is you’re believing all the negative hype about the offense and thinking it will be among the worst in MLB. Barring injuries, it won’t. And the reality of needing superstar talent to carry an offense is not true. The Brewers scored the third most runs in MLB last year, and they did it without a single starter posting an .800 OPS. And they did it teams that had Alonso and Schwarber in their star-laden lineups actually scored fewer runs than the Brewers and the Red Sox…
  21. notin
    Please refrain from nonsensical arguments like they signed Gasper instead of Alonso/Schwarber. It was most definitely not an “either/or” scenario and you know that…
  22. notin
    That are not on the 40 man? Who?
  23. notin
    Not so sure. This team wasn’t so incompetent ladt year, when they scored 12 runs fewer than the American League champion Blue Jays, and actually outscored the Phillies. This year, the offense should be at least as good as last season’s. And the SP should be much better…

    Fangraphs projects Boston to win 90 games, tying them with Toronto to for first place in the AL East. They predict the Yankees to win 87, come in 4th in the AL East, and miss the postseason entirely…

    When is it not a guest appearance? 33% of all post-season teams get eliminated with a “guest appearance.” Another 33% get taken out shortly after. Are we playing the “anything short of a ring is failure” game? That game was invented by Serial Complainers…
