  1. I see why someone would, but I would do it, personally. Give me the 6'7 power /speed combo over hard grounders, but do prefer Anthonys defense. RA may develop a better plate approach, but he'll never be 6'7 or have the raw athleticism of Wood.
  2. Thats certainly true. I mean, youre supposed to lose weight in summer time. Certainly arent going to lose weight during fall/winter with thanksgiving/Christmas and more time indoors
  3. breslow and roman anthony for toboni and james wood
  4. And the crochet trade was obvious and made possible by bloom
  5. Thats quite the description of Wood, who is one of the very best young players in baseball at 6'7, crazy power, wheels and former #1 prospect in baseball coming into his own. Hes got more trade value than Roman Anthony
  6. its not even the same unsung heros , its a rotation of hot streaks from unlikely sources. Toro, Eaton, Romy, Refsnyder, Lowe have all had hot streaks.
  7. I love doritos and diet dr pepper, although i dont usually drink caffinated beverages past noon, and very rarely eat doritos before noon. And my diet dr pepper drinking has gone down since i got my nespresso and quit cigs (so im not running up to the corner store every morn). But 3 yrs ago me is deeply offended.
  8. Story, Crochet, Bello, Gio, Chapman but you never know
  9. Baseball is predictably unpredictable. Look no further than Trevor "please dont opt out" story, who going into this season trevor "this bad contract feels neverending" story
  10. also you guys will never believe who just finished in the top 100 out of 400 on his rowing machine race
  11. I like the breakdown. But what if we sign Gio. Or what if we get Gio and Ryan. Then Early has to go out and win it, and Sandoval becomes a dont look awful in ST. So I guess, if we acquire 1-2 good SP, then everyone after the "locks" category moves down one slot. So lets add that asterisk (if you dont mind) and seal it on a virtudal handshake, which i guess would be a nod at the screen
  12. I mean you have to have surgical precision backdooring that 85 mph cutter
  13. And to me, yes , Harrison is last. I do not trust 91mph 4 seems and 85 mph cutters. This dude was a prize?
  14. He (sandoval) goes in a category with Dobbins, Kutter Craw, Criswell, Weisert, Fitts, Harrison in the competing for a 4 or 5 SP I would rate Tolle and Early slightly higher in the "one is prob going to make the rotation" category. I guess Sandoval could go in either. Maybe this In this category, if healthy will be in the rotation Crochet Bello In this category, 1-2 pitchers should make MLB rotation Early, Tolle, Sandoval In this category, may make the rotation, depending on who we resign/acquire/injuries but theyll have to earn it Kutter Craw, Dobbins, Criswell, Wissert, Fitts, Harrison *Not advocating for no pitching acquisitions, would love to see them bring Gio back. In which case, Early, Sandoval, Tolle most likely to round at rotation, with next group behind them and some of the "did not make it into the rotation" will go to minors and some to pen
  15. Its hard to say, but I lean towards its not a function of we overrating our own because the national rankings and such also have our prospects/pieces quite high. I think its either that while our pieces are ranked highly, they werent specifically what would-be partners were seeking, or Breslow is talking nonsense and the real reasons he didnt want to state (e.g. trying to "win" the deal, or not believing in the 2025 team enough to do something in the short term, simply running out of time)
  16. No, I think you are adding to it. Per Brez, he was willing to go there. He just said tell me a name that will make it work and they said a name of a guy on another team.
  17. This happened. They (he) said no, they were not buyers. Because "other teams have to want your players" According to Brez , didnt have the chips other GMs wanted. He said it wasnt about trying to get fair value, or protect players he really liked either. He said he even made offers that he didnt think he would make, offering players that would shock the media/fans. He said just no bites.
  18. Im not sure why this doesnt get spoken of, but Chris Sale has made 0 playoff starts for the Braves. Yes, he won the cy young and had a great year last year, helping the Braves reach the playoffs. But he was unavailable in the playoffs because of an injury. Granted they were sent home quick, and had they got through a round without him, he *might* have made a start in teh second round. This year, he did like 115 innings, got hurt again, and the braves will miss the playoffs. I suspect that had he had the same 2 years here, we would have been frustrated having to plan our playoff rotation without him last year, and having him miss a large chunk of time this year. He hasnt been available to the braves when theyve needed him the most.
  19. dumping your best hitter for salary relief is not trying to win.
  20. Not getting a real bat that you have to pay for all season is not trying to win. Im talking about at the roster construction level. I know on the field they are trying to win. This is ongoing. Verdugo should have been replaced 2 years before he was. Its too much settling for average players. Whatever happened to arms races?
  21. The AL is so disgustingly weak that teams are selling off and still winning divisions lol. SO when it comes to the sox , i just will not accept "yeah but we had an injury to a rookie who was playing better than we thought and we lost him, so that excuses us" Again , we're losing to bad teams. You shouldnt need a rookie to pull you ahead of teams selling off at the deadline.
  22. I had left off the mets, but ill give you 4. BUt note how 3 are in the nl.
  23. over the last 2-3 months how many all-stars (total appearances not players) have been a) injured over the last 2-3 months and b) ended last year healthy. Unforeseen injuries to established players. How many total all-stars appearances do we have on the shelf right now whose injuries were unforeseen? I think its 0. I think Houck made it last year, but Houck was hurt when last year ended.
