    I suppose Hernandez could become a 4th outfielder should Bradley be traded. Pearce/Martinez/Holt used in left field and Beni to center.

    Getting back to starting pitching: Is the Porcello, Bradley, Bogaerts being offered discussed somewhere?? PS I agree that Kelly wd no longer be part of the Cardinal deal.

    Interesting. I don't know what it was, but he surely wasn't thinking of Kimbrel having his back (maybe that's why he bore down) If he comes back, it would mean two things to me: 1) we're getting at least something out of that wasteful trade with St. Louis. 2) and that now we need to focus on a lefty reliever.

    I would actually go with Robertson and Britton--and Romo later if things fall into a place. I think Romo is one tough bird, and sense he has one more solid year in him. But Robertson and Romo have a lot of mileage on them, and Britton may have recovery issues. Which is why we might want to take all 3 and spread the work around, if possible. (short contracts, of course, if possible)

    Oh yes, that's what I meant. He would be one added reliever among two or three, depending on the cost and contracts. Romo is someone I would want to sneak in at a good price. Romo one year, Miller two years, and Robertson three years... would nicely do.

    In the post-season Kelly looked incredibly focused. He looked like he was pitching from some kind concentrated mental zone which seemed to give some kind of edge on almost every hitter he faced, and of course, far more control of the strike zone. Speaking of post-game relievers, how about Romo for one year at 3-4 million. A gutsy pitcher.

    I think, in part, the problem with signing Clay is his history with this team. Do we want to return to this same ole waiting game with him.. will he be available, will he not: will he be good--will he break through. It's an old song. And then there's that saying "You can't go home again," which carries even more weight when you might not be wanted there.

    Our starting five have questions about injury/health. The depth has questions about performance. I think Wright is the wild card here. If he's well and on, then what we have now might be enough. If not, we may have to look elsewhere for that 6th man. And even for a 7th if we have poor injury luck.

    Well, if we still had Tony Pena, we certainly wouldn't need Cervelli. Poor Sandy Leon... he gets no respect. I love Vasquez and Leon... no upgrade needed.

    I think the Yankee reporter was looking at (worried about) a worse possible scenario for the Yankees. He knew that the ex-Sox guys were running the Mets show, that the new scout guy didn't like many of the Mets top prospects, that he seemed to be talking up the Sox ones, who he was familiar with... And if the Redsox are dominating the East with the addition of Syndegaard, then this makes the Yankees less of a story in the NY press and gives the Mets a chance at more coverage, esp with Cano and Diaz aboard. And yes, the price would be more than prospects. Mostly just interesting paranoia.
  11. fxkatt
    I heard an interesting MET-SOX possibility today. After this Cano and Diaz deal goes through, the Mets will be looking to re-up their prospects. Since their GM and Scouting chief worked for the Sox, there could be some deal brewing to send Syndergaard to the Sox for prospects etc that they are very familiar with--and at the same time undercut the Yanks front page dominance in the NY media (the Sox would be dominant over the Yanks) This is a bit conspiratorial and concocted by a Yankee reporter, but it does make some sense.
  12. fxkatt
    Yup, yup. Boyd and Cabrera... and of course Koji and if going current, then the newbie Eovaldi for certain. A very good list, altho I must admit to not recalling Moret, and Esaski with much clarity at all...just the names.
  13. fxkatt
    Bernie Carbo and Bill Buckner would be at or near the top of my choices. No way that Drew would be anywhere near my top 25 list... not to cast aspersions.
  14. fxkatt
    Machado possibly to St. Louis. It doesn't sound right, but Machado's image may not match his actual identity. The Cards just have to decide if concentrating so much of their budget on him is a risk they're willing to take.
  15. fxkatt
    I've always liked Ian Kinsler and still do. His decision to throw to first did bother me, but it really looked like that hit was going to be an untouched single anyway. To me there was no comparison between this and the Buckner error. This was a well hit ball that but for the positioning had single written all over it.
  16. fxkatt
    So true about Bumgarner and the MVP award.
  17. fxkatt
    Eovaldi's performances from game 1-3 were stupendous and, to think, he was available last night too. And Kelly looked like next year's closer. I'm thinking that Cora's handling of the pitching staff was a total reversal of his seasonal strategy when he insisted on giving his pitchers plenty of rest--almost to the laughable point at times. It's as if he said, okay now it's time to man up and gut it out... if you're on I'm going to you again and again, so reach down guys, way down. Here we go, no letting up... every game is game 7.
  18. fxkatt
    MVP: Price, Eovaldi, Kelly, Pearce... I would have split the award 4 ways, and given another award to the whole post-season pitching staff. But, I was surprised Price wasn't the winner, esp since the camera kept focusing on him just before the announcement. I guess given the length and cost of Price's contract, I would prefer he opt out, but if he doesn't, I wish him superior health and success over the next 3-4 years.
  19. fxkatt
    Am amazed that Price is going over Sale. Price has had 3 days rest plus this relief work. Sale has had 4 days and it's his turn. Gotta think we get about 5 inning or 85 pitches out of Price and once again an inning a piece from any arm still standing. NO NO Sale tonight. He's gotta be there to shut LA down in Boston. If we should win this game tonight without any special individual heroics, my MVP is Nathan Eovaldi.
  20. fxkatt
    You said it. Not much else you can say
  21. fxkatt
    No, but 12 pitchers gives you more options and leeway right now and for future games. The dodgers are bringing in fresh relief pitchers
  22. fxkatt
    The sox should send all the pitchers who have pitched tonite home to bed. Cuz they're going to pitch again tomorrow night. I warned of this damn 11 pitcher roster.
  23. fxkatt
    That I agree with. Without the shift, this game is over, and we win
  24. fxkatt
    Kinsler did play defense, but the stupid divot screwed up the throw
  25. fxkatt
    Well we have Bradley aboard in the 13th.
