    Tanking for draft position in baseball is bad enough, but it still won’t resolve their complaints that Henry doesn’t spend enough money…

    And yet if he helped stranded and kidnapped children get back home at that rate, you’d think he was some kind of hero. It’s all about perspective, I guess…

    While I don’t want Adames, at least he is not in the Fantasy Pipe Dream Trade Category like Neto and Yordan Alvarez

    The bullpen has been horrific. And the thing is - at least Breslow tried to improve the offense, whether you like his moves or not or expected more, at least he made moves.. He ignored the bullpen completely. Teams pitch about 1,450 IP per year, with starters handling maybe 800 of them, leaving about 650 IP for the bullpen. So in building a “pitching and defense” team, Breslow looked at the crew charged with handling about 45% of the pitching and thought “I’m sure it’ll work itself out.”

    I think that attitude is surprisingly common among MLB executives…

    A year too late. Last year Houston might have been more eager…

    Narvaez and the 10 Wongs was a heckuva indie band back in the day…

    Somehow even more intimidating

    I somehow always pictured you less tougher than that…😉

    Is Braiden Ward taking infield practice?
  12. notin
    Very short term. Like stop tomorrow…
  13. notin
    Ward at 2b. Figured you’d be all over that, Mr Positions Don’t Matter…
  14. notin
    Right. So you think the plan to get to the Promised Land is more Sogard, IKF and Monasterio?
  15. notin
    It shouldn’t be fair to put Monasterio, Sogard, Durbin and IKF all in the same lineup. Sale won’t know what hit him!
  16. notin
    DFA Guerrero and call up Ward, if anyone…

    Both Mayer and Durbin are having some learning curves, which is not surprising. Sogard has the hotter bar today, but he is a career .683 OPS hitter for his career and his last 34 PA are most likely just a hot streak. And I have my doubts Mayer and Durbin will learn to better hit MLB pitching by facing AAA pitching…
  18. notin
    These are players that both Mayer and Durbin outperformed at every level at younger ages. Why not let Mayer and Durbin continue to learn to hit MLB pitching while facing MLB pitching rather than another round of MiLB? You probably get similar production out of them that youre going to get out of Sogard, IKF, and Capra but you could also make Mayer and Durbin better hitters going forward…

    Braiden Ward? C’mon! The Ward Train is coming! But it needs to make a stop in Kenmore Square…
  20. notin
    Maybe if Breslow didn’t ignore the bullpen…
  21. notin
    So when you’re not denigrating a lineup of Punch and Judy hitters, you’re promoting a starting infield of Sogard, Monasterio and Kiner-Falefa. That infield has less Punch and more Judy..

    Hey it’s not like there are multiple World Series winners each year. And the Brewers reached the NLCS twice, but your graphic equated it to losing the singular WC game. If you reach the LCS, it was clearly working in the postseason…

    They should have never bothered with AGon. Just extend Beltre and keep Youk at 1b…
