    My issue with skubal is that on top of the trade capital we'd have to spend, we'd have to blow most the budget on extending him.

    What im thinking: We have 4 non locked down offense spots. Solve 2 internally. Go external for the other 2. Make sure one is schwarber and the other can play on both sides of the ball. Trade an OF'er and/or prospects (but not "the farm") to add to the pitching.

    You know, me, you (and moonslav) are not that far apart. The RS have 4 non locked down positions in 1b, 2b, 3b, DH. You stated last week that you hope that 2 of mayer, campbell, casas come back and stay healthy and productive. You even said you would make an offer to schwarber but would much prefer to keep it to 3 years. I agree with remaining hopeful on 2 internal guys mayer, campbell, casas (but i would include yoshida in that because i know people hate it but i would not count against him being fine defensively at 1b). So 2 out of these 4. I love that you target schwarber. Hes proved he can produce here, and hes a really really good hitter. We only really disagree on that last spot, where i would prefer going external. Maybe bregman maybe someone in a trade.

    But Henrys plan is NOT to cut prices or concessions or give stadium workers a raise. Its to buy an NFL team, hes said so himself.
  5. drewski6
    You said no big contracts. Theres middle ground between that and the dodgers. Ive never advocating for going full dodgers with it. Just that they dont bother me as much as the small market greedy billionaire club. Im all for a raise to the stadium workers and him giving some money to charity.

    reach and throwing lefty are advantages to playing 1b. But so is flexibility. And Yoshida is infinitely more flexible than casas and toro last year. Yoshida cant run or throw well. But Im not ruling him out , him being serviceable at 1b - and if Im him, I wanna add the tool to my toolbelt. Im not saying pencil in masa at 1b and leave him there all season even if he struggles. Im saying that there is a gap between schwarbers bat and every other alternative bat i see us getting (even alonso). So i get schwarber. And i put one of him, yoshida, casas, romy or some breakout minor leaguer (pw, campbell) at 1b and if that 1b winds up being schwarber someone else from the list goes to DH. If Schwarber cant play 1b, than he goes to dh and yoshida , casas, romy or someone else has to play 1b I dont let yoshida stop me from going after a better hitter than devers

    im not old school, but one my old school thing that i love is having a designated speedster off the bench. I agree. I dont hate hamilton on this bench. Just not as a starter.

    and he bought the penguins.

    anybody getting jh's money is better than jh having it. Hoarding that kind of wealth is evil.
  10. drewski6
    i promise you , with 11 mins of practice yoshida will be better at 1b than fatass casas
  11. drewski6
    Im fine with schwarber at 1b and yoshida at dh if youd rather. But nothing is stopping me from offering schwarber 110m/3
  12. drewski6
    yoshida having a few inches of reach less than an ideal 1b is more than offset by the difference between Alonsos B ovr bat and Schwarbers A- overall bat.
  13. drewski6
    And crochet is a superstar making superstar money. How far do we go without him? My guess dead last.
  14. drewski6
    But keep in mind that the dude who ortiz'd them all the way there (Vladdy) is a giant contract and the robin to his batman (bichette) is about to be one. So if the jays had been against paying superstars superstar money, then this was their only shot and theyd be back to middle of the pack (at best) next year. Lucky for their fans, their owner does not mind paying superstar money for superstar players.
  15. drewski6
    I would sign Schwarber. Teach Masa how to play 1b. Let him and Casas and Romy compete to see who wins the job (my money on Romy). Get another very good infielder who can play both sides of the ball. That may be Bregman, that may be Bichette, that may be somebody in a trade. Not assume Casas, Yoshida, Hamilton, Story, Mayer, RA, Cedanne, Duran/Abreu (whichever isnt traded) will all be healthy (they wont) or assume that this offense is good enough even if they do stay healthy (they arent)
  16. drewski6
    We need two very good hitters to add, one can be Bregman.
  17. drewski6
    If you are counting on anything more than 0 from casas, you lost me. Thats not giving up on him, thats not relying on him or holding a seat for him. We need sluggers and we cannot expect one to be casas, doesnt mean one cant be casas. Bregman isnt here, and is no guarantee to be healthy next year. Mayers replacements hit better than he had, but I dont think that remains the case going forward. Agreed on Anthony but leadoff guys are only as good as the dudes hitting behind them. Abreu was back by then. Plus most circle Abreu or Duran to be traded. So I guess it wouldnt be that offense, it would be worse because youd be minus Bregman/Abreu (or Duran) 10th isnt good enough
  18. drewski6
    Agreed, im not against trading for painter, but there are guys id rather target.
  19. drewski6
    Gotta improve the offense. I dont think anyone is trying to outright release him. But hes not a starter in mlb.
  20. drewski6
    I dont think teams really want a hard cap either. I think they are happy to get the annual check from the teams that are actually trying and paying a penalty, and the teams that are actually trying and paying a penalty are happy to cut it.
  21. drewski6
    I can live without Suarez, Polanco, Bichette But telling me that 2 from Bregman, Alonso, Schwarber is a pipe dream is heart breaking.
  22. drewski6
    Or are you , sir, doubting the greatness of austin hays.
  23. drewski6
    Not owners tho
  24. drewski6
    I think Id trade rosters with the reds right now.
  25. drewski6
    hate the playa, not the game
