    So who are we bidding against? Detroit?
  2. Larry Cook
    The question is, does he get the pitch movement back after the surgery? if yes, he was a decent pitcher. if no, there is always the bullpen.
  3. Larry Cook
    Wouldn’t the earliest houck could return is around June 27?
  4. Larry Cook
    I wonder if we can get the Bregman signing done this week, because it appears the Phillies and Mets are in on bichete now!!!!
  5. Larry Cook
    Okimoto signing with Toronto
  6. Larry Cook
    I think someone said we offered 5 years and 160 million
  7. Larry Cook
    I think bres-slow continues to push hard to bring Bregman back
  8. Larry Cook
    Hence the push for Bregman. I think Tolle and early can also help as lefties in the bullpen. Especially after Moran flames out the hole in the rotation behind crochet is our biggest problem!

    In college, I tore my acl, mcl, pcl and the patella tendon (all on one play from scrimmage) and it was 18 months for the patella tendon to heal. two years without being able to play sports was very hard.
  10. Larry Cook
    Patella tendon injuries are the longest to heal! April 1st sounds very aggressive
  11. Larry Cook
    I think we are already at 4 years. Will we go to 6 years?? Or will the cubs get him
  12. Larry Cook
    I think bres-slow is trying very hard to do whatever he can to get Bregman signed.

    2024 Duran is worth a top of the rotation starter 2025 Duran. Not so much! Bres-slow playing the long game apparently
  14. Larry Cook
    Health is a wild card for all 30 teams! And injuries happen to all 30 teams. And it seems injuries always strike where teams have the least amount of depth! Another reason to start the year with as much quality depth as follows.
  15. Larry Cook
    So bres-slow is waiting for some team to offer a top of the rotation starter for one of our outfielders! and boras is waiting for bres-slow to go to 6 years on a Bregman deal!! who blinks first???
  16. Larry Cook
    So far this offseason, bres-slow has only traded away fringe roster players. why would he start trading guys that actually contributed a good bit in 2025?

    Not sure why we are looking at war. I am talking head to head playoff matchups game 1 - crochet (bos). Cole (ny). Gausman (tor). I feel confident in crochet game 2 - gray (bos). Fried (ny). Bieber (tor). I have no confidence gray can win this. game 3 - bello (bos). Rodon (ny). Cease (tor). I have no confidence in bello to win. game 4 - Oviedo (bos). Shitlister (ny). Pounce (tor). I have no clue what we have in Oviedo. Two options available to us. option 1 - we sign framber. I feel confident he has a chance in game 2 against fried or Bieber. option 2 - we throw cutter in game 2 and take the loss. Then pray gray can take game 3.
  18. Larry Cook
    Just look at the rotations that the Yankees and blue jays have!!!! we clearly have the better number 1 pitcher of the three teams, gray and bello could be very competitive at the number 3 and 4 spots against those two rotations it is the number 2 spot that is a grand canyon size hole for us!!! It forces gray to go against fried, (loss for us) then bello against rondon (loss for us) and Oviedo against shitlister (no idea on this one) I feel much better about our chances if gray is pitching in the number 3 hole
  19. Larry Cook
    Don’t the guys doing good usually put out a short video showing themselves throwing???
  20. Larry Cook
    Quality and depth???? Let’s take a closer look: 1.) crochet - quality. 2.) gray - quality 3.) bello - quality 4.) Oviedo - depth. 5.) Sandoval - depth. 6.) Cutter - depth. 7.) early - depth at best until proven otherwise. 8.) Tolle - depth at best until proven otherwise, 9.) Harrison - depth at best until proven otherwise. our rotation is woefully short on quality, decent depth and some unproven depth! gaping huge hole after crochet! Biggest area of need !!!
  21. Larry Cook
    Maybe he starts the year in the 60 day DL! His recovery did not seem to be progressing last season.
  22. Larry Cook
    Premium - anthony, Mayer, abreau, refaela, Duran quality and could be more with a decent backup - narveaz, could be quality but more at bats needed - Casas, Campbell very few teams can match this level of young position
  23. Larry Cook
    A couple of things: 1.) The outfielders would probably rotate through the dh spot. This keeps their bats in the lineup, but gives them a rest from position play. 2.) injuries happen, see 2025 for a refresher. There is more reason to believe someone will have a season ending or less serious injury than not. (Story 3 years! Casas 2 years! Less serious injuries and the list is much longer.) 3.) opposing lefty pitchers give a few of our outfielders serious issues. Options are never a bad thing, unless hang’em Chaim is signing recently dfa’d pitchers! 4.) defensive replacements. Do we really want to see Duran patrolling the outfield in the late innings of a close game? See game 3 of the Yankees playoff series for a refresher. this team has 1 minor hole in the infield and a Grand Canyon size hole at the number 2 spot in the rotation!
  24. Larry Cook
    We do not need to trade any outfielders.
  25. Larry Cook
    Early was a different circumstance. West Point goes to school 6 days a week and I think his arm was tired from military pt. but I am amazed what the Sox did with him in the pitching program. If we can do half as much with the 2025 draftees. It will have been a good draft for us!
