  1. unless you are sesame streets the count because than all you want is to count on stuff.
  2. i like casas more when he isnt healthy I think when healthy, casas is the absolute slowest player in mlb, and i think he'll hit .190. And id rather him strikeout than draw a walk because then we dont have the slowest dude in mlb massachusetts stuck at 1b. You wanna talk wall ball singles? casas is 2 cheeseburgers away from wall-ball being thrown out at first base.
  3. no way. unless you mean the team that ended last season with no devers, ra, mayer, casas, and bregman in a slump, that had yoshida hitting cleanup - maybe better than that. But no way better than last years team at the beginning full strength A team that trades durant for pitching and enters with RA Story Casas Wilyer Yoshida Nav Mayer Campbell Cedanne Even if this team stays healthy and you get a good pitcher for durant so you have crochet, acquired pitcher, bello, early and return the same bp you are third place at best, but more likely fourth
  4. if casas cant clear yoshida, then youve got your answer for the same money? id rather have yoshida.
  5. and your trading for that sp'er so minus duran too. But yes, replacing raffy and duran and gio with hoskins and "a very solid #2" does appear to be a step backwards. And thats even after i factor in more RA.
  6. john henry likes it when the sox get a good free agent, but he loooooves it when the dodgers do it because they are already in the penalty, so it juices the nice check he receives from teams that still care (about 5 of them) incurring penalties.
  7. john henry use to have passion for our sox. now he uses the sox as a cash generating vehicle so he can expand his growing collection of franchises.
  8. blame the dodgers because they spend hundreds of millions in penalties to other clubs who pocket the hundreds of millions for the competitive imbalance and not the owners of the pirates is wild. If they voted, the owners would vote against the salary cap because nobody loves teh dodgers spending more than the 25 members of the greedy billionaires club because they get to pocket the penalties!!!
  9. Like Notin said, the jays just committed 500m and were finalists on ohtani and soto offering them ginormous contracts themselves. Its not like the dodgers, payroll wise, are super far out in front. Really its the big 5 of Dodgers, Mets, Yanks, Phils, Jays leaving everyone else in the dust. But again, your blame (my opinion) is better placed on the other 25 owners, the greedy billionaires club who buy, hoard, and use beloved franchises as nothing more than cash cows because who doesnt need a third yacht!
  10. Out of both sides of their mouth too "we tried like really really really hard to improve the roster, and we just couldnt get any deals done. We , like the fans, are disappointed. But at the end of hte day, its about wins and losses, and we think we are going to have more wins than we would have had if the dudes who we tried to sign were signed. Hold on, I have to go fire the dude who told me that what i just said doesnt make sense.
  11. well sir, before we get too far away from it, the original conversation of whether or not sox prioritizing bregman over alonso last year ....how much that implies theyll pursue bregman over alonso this year.... and im still not sure, its safe assumption because a few things have changed. They may be more likely to go after the power bat because they salary dumped their only one, and also 1b is looking less locked down than it looked this time last year. I do agree with you the best bet is usually with the incumbent team , but im not sure in this case, they'll show the same priorities. I do fully expect to have them kick tires/initiate conversations on both.
  12. not buying their crap, today, eh? love it
  13. does sony gray walk out to that nineties folksy female voiced radio song sonny came home with a list of naaaames (skip the lines i dont remember) Dayyyys go by
  14. My current vision of each is masa hitting .730 OPS(ish) for most of the year but coming on late in the season for us when we needed him the most, smoking grounders through the infield, helping to make the yankees series fun and interesting. Whereas Casas , its waddling to first base and never making it there because he popped both knees 2 steps outta the batters box yes, there is recency bias in my current visions, but thats where they are.
  15. Give us the optimistic offseason checklist followed by the hard to swallow dose of reality, eh? A tried and true formula.
  16. michelle kwan wont return my calls :/
  17. But your lineup is could be the primary, it can be the default, but it isnt the only. Cuz injuries will happen and holes will emerge. And that was my biggest beef with devers. That hes living in 1989 when everybody had a position and that was their position
  18. IMO, only people over 70 glue a player to a position. What they wanted, and what you got, were options. Versatility. Mix and match. its 2025, theres no such things as a third baseman anymore. Everybody is a "slash" as in 3b (slash) outfielder (slash) emergency catcher (slash) comptroller Gotta wear many hats. WOuld Bregman have played 3b, or 2b, or DH, or 1b or OF? The answer is "Yes"
  19. and now ive talked myself into liking breslow locking up the young guys because.....inflation bruh i change my mind a lot, sue me
  20. Lets see what bichette signs for before we declare that story isnt worth his contract. My fear is that the new go-forward is that anybody who is a bona fide major leaguer signed to a contract under 400m is a bargain* *Until the yankees, dodgers, phils, toronto run out of spots But Im not sure i wanna live in that world where we wait for the big dogs to finish eating before we attack the scraps. I hope story does NOT opt out for a reason that ive previously said Death....taxes......and.....inflation bruh
  21. If the right hand is truly not talking to the left hand like that, than thats wild. Due to the timing of it all, I find it more likely that they just went hard after bregman because he was the last man standing and they figured theyd figure out the position. Breslow doesnt decide where people play tho.
