    I'm sorry but Kluber does nothing for me.

    Thanks...

    Is this the same German that we gave back to the Yankees? He started for the Yankees going 5 innings and 80 pitches vs the Rays. Giving up only 2 runs. I guess Bloom thought Brazier and Ort had bigger upside.

    When current roster is made up entirely of 'corevgroup' then I know we"ve attived. Not there yet but we're getting close. I also get it that there will always be short term deals. I call them place holders.

    Whenever I speak of 'core" group I am thinking long term/team control. Story will come back in 2024. Kike maybe at 2B/SS in 2023 but I don't see it long term. Otherwise Bloom would have given him more tham one year. I expect him to be gone and playing elsewhere in 2024. We can use his money elsewhere. If nothing else we know that Chang is better defensively at short. I do want to see Mondesi play short this year. Of course I will be rooting for Kike.

    I was really down on Wink. The bottom line is that we are beginning to see the core group develop in terms of positional players. My guess is that our pen will be fine as long as we have a stud as a closer going forward. We know how much it costs to fill that critical position. We finally have a good one. We think we'll know better by July what's needed in our starting rotation. Right now I'm rooting for Casas. He maybe one of our last pieces on the field. Lastly Kike should be a utility player when everyone returns, including Story. But $10M is pretty steep for a non starter.

    Moon u should revisit your post #1 in this thread. I'd say you were pretty much on the money except for couple of injured players. You even mentioned Valdez. Maybe undervalued Winckowski and Kutter. Well done.

    It's incredible what has transpired in April. Looks like we have found solid outfield trio in Yoshida, Duran and Verdugo. And I'm not dismissing the return of Duval at some point. And Wong is destined to be our catcher for a long time. At 24 I'm not sure if Valdez doesn't have abetter bat to ball skills than Story. Why not play Story at short in the future? I still see Casas as out future 1B. Go get a top of the line starting pitcher and we can start thinking about the 5th ring.

    Boring. Get a new topic line. Clutch. What is it? Is it real? Characteristics of clutch . Learned behavior or born with it? Is it generational?
  12. Nick
    Starters Sale Kluber Bello Pivetta Paxton Houck Whitlock Winckowski and Kutter long relievers Martin Schriber Bernardino Bleier one inning guys Jansen the closer Not too bad especially if we can add a #1 starter in Juy
  13. Nick
    Now what?
  14. Nick
    Love to see him in the bigs July 2024
  15. Nick
    Nice to have multiple inning guys out of the pen. In theory we can add Whitlock and Houck to that mix.......Winckowski, Kutter, Houck, Whitlock Sale, Pivetta, Kluber, Paxton and Bello starting? (not advocating this)
  16. Nick
    It was a joke.
  17. Nick
    Kutter had not given up a walk in over 20 innings. Since his first outing. OUTSTANDING.
  18. Nick
    Couple of more runs we can bring in Ort.
  19. Nick
    Who is the closer tonight?
  20. Nick
    Baltimore down 0-6 vs KC in the 8th.
  21. Nick
    Cleveland up 3-2 on the Yankees. Bottom of 9th.
  22. Nick
    good contact by Casas.....6-9 are all swinging.
  23. Nick
    Here's some entertainment/fantasy during pitching change Update on Core Group Going forward, team control including 2023 C. Wong, 6 yrs: McGuire, 3 yrs 1B Casas, 6 yrs 2B Valdez, 7 yrs 3B Devers, 11 yrs SS Story, 6 yrs LF Yoshida, 5 yrs CF Duran, 6 yrs RF Verdugo, 2 yrs DH Dalbec, 4 yrs SP Bello, 6 yrs SP Whitlock, 6yrs SP Houck, 5 yrs SP Kutter, 6 yrs SP Winckowski, 6 yrs RP Schreiber, 4 yrs RP Bernadino, 7 yrs Sign two aces and we're there!!!! If we get into the playoffs, all of us owe an apology to Bloom.
  24. Nick
    Pivetta did not pitch like the #5 starter against offensive Jays. Good for him.
  25. Nick
    Valdez is fearless at the plate..... He is going to be one or two days shy of garnering full year's service. Needs 172 days. he'll have 170 or 171 days. We'll have him for 7 years. Good return on Vaz.
