    So, it’s not just about spending the money, it’s about making the really good signing first? that’s like my children yelling at me because I didn’t give them the nice present to open up first on Christmas morning. we are not even a month removed from the World Series. Relax and see what they do

    St Louis is in a full rebuild, why keep a $35 million dollar man on the roster for one year? Trading him made sense. The cap hit would be $40 million, they had to kick in half the money to move him and get something.

    Everyone isn’t me, you read any scouting report or analysis from anyone talking about pitchers and they always use their Bwar. it’s not my opinion its a lot of people’s opinions

    This is precisely how I looked at it. I didn’t love it at first, but the more I dug, the more I liked.

    Power peaks in late 20’s. Maybe he adds a lot more? Maybe it’s 25-30

    I don’t love the Gray trade, but he definitely makes the rotation better next year. its also super early in the offseason. Like really early. Why can’t we ever wait to see how an offseason transpires before getting all upset???
  7. Hugh2
    Who do we even know is definitively on the trade market who was better than Gray last year???? Ryan maybe. That’s it
  8. Hugh2
    No one uses Bwar for pitchers.

    Here I’ll spare you a little trouble. Sonny Gray put up 3.6 War last season. Thats more than every single pitcher in free agency this year. And it would have been second best on this team.

    14-18????

    I’m sure this will be taken the wrong way around here but power is over rated. A guy could literally be average to suck in every facet of the game but if he hits a HR once a week he’s a must have MOTO bat?

    You spit things out as fact that are in fact....not facts. Literally no one agrees with you. Duran took a step back in his play this year. You seem to think that it's because he moved out of CF and not that his level of play actually just regressed. Your entire logic is built on that false premise. I see it, everyone in here sees it, the Red Sox see it, the greater baseball scouting world sees it. You say "the numbers are conclusive" no......no they're not. Don't take the drug reference too personal or literal. People in sports often say things like "what are you smoking" when you suggest something that literally no one else is.

    Perfect? Alonso is far from perfect. For someone who has 80 power he certainly doesn’t walk enough, he doesn’t hit for average or fringe average at best. He clogs up the bases, and his a fringe to below average defender. what Alonso does do well, is hit home runs. But I think he’s getting overhyped by a lot of people here because of the power. this is coming from someone who likes Alonso and would welcome an Alonso signing.

    Bo Bichette is getting $240 give or take.
  15. Hugh2
    Why would they take on both Masa and Hicks? They’re either trying to clear out money or get guys back in return. Not negative value pitchers and a DH no one wants. Now they have two roster spots clogged up instead of one. I think the Cardinals want prospects for Arenado, and I don’t think you have to give up very good ones either.

    I mean this with the utmost respect but…..are you on crack? Rafaela is literally a gold glove CFer and Abreau is literally a Gold glove rightfilders and it’s without “question” a better alignment to move BOTH those guys off their position for an inferior defender in LF to move to CF? I mean, we all got opinions, but I don’t think you can say something is “without question” when you’re literally living on an island with a population of 1.

    Yup, looks like the above side is going to win. Next year, I think I might have to set the over/under a little higher, I think some number closer to below the 2nd threshold instead of right above the first one might be more interesting. Although having a pretty 50/50 split might mean I picked a decent over/under line. Obviously my thinking was completely arbitrary on that but we had a pretty split vote.

    This is a good point that I did not think of, but from what I can find....he does not have good arm strength. It's an old scouting report, but I'd love to be wrong and get his bat in the line up https://legacy.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/eyewitness_bat.php?reportid=98
  19. Hugh2
    His arm is weaker than Mayer and Story, Polanco to 3B is not a good ideal
  20. Hugh2
    That's adding $48-49 million which puts them below the second LT level. And heck, if they could pay to dumb Yoshida they could hypothetically still go below the first level. This is in line with last years spending.
  21. Hugh2
    Tyson Lewis has tremendous upside, they get him with Duran. That's a haul.
  22. Hugh2
    Take all the effing Martes, I have cornered the Merte market.
  23. Hugh2
    Ok time to go stupid stupid crazy fantasy: Here is a trade ideal: Red Sox Get Nick Lodolo, Ketel Marte, & Noevli Marte Reds Get: Marcelo Mayer & Yordanny Monegro Diamondbacks get: Jarren Duran/Tyson Lewis. Sox Turn around and trade with the Twins Twins get: Connelly Early/Wilyer Abreu Red Sox get: Joe Ryan. Starting Rotation: Crochet/Ryan/Lodolo/Bello/Crawford Line up: C. Narvaez 1B. Alonso 2B. Marte SS. Story 3B Okamoto LF. Noevli Marte/Garcia CF. Rafaela RF Anthony DH. Yoshida/Casas That's a team that can compete for a pennant

    Well those are the exact types of things that make them sleeper picks. No one has seen Neely yet, he could be dude and not really move up at all, but if he looks like he's close to being a guy he could shoot up really quick in the rankings.
  25. Hugh2
    I'm not the biggest guy on the Sandy Alcantara boat, but that statcast page is very misleading. I'd love to know how much red we'd see over blue if we saw the second half of his season.
