    Sign Manaea, sell the team to Dwayne Johnson, and we're all getting tribal tat sleeves
  2. drewski6
    Both?
  3. drewski6
    Whats your beef with Manaea? Samoan genes are strong.
  4. drewski6
    For the price, Hoffman stands out.
  5. drewski6
    And he'd be worth it, but Pirates say no to any package. Hes not a realistic target.
  6. drewski6
    Not getting skenes at any cost
  7. drewski6
    If I may re-arrange a bit: Odds of getting one of Teoscar, Santander, Bregman - 60% Odds of getting Burnes - 15% Odds of getting one of: Manaea, Flaherty, Pivetta, Hoffman, Castillo, Keller, Buehler or any other #3 starter via trade - 50%

    How would you (or anyone else who wants to chime in) rank these reasons of why the sox stopped at 700M for Soto A. They stopped at 700m because it was all a sham and they knew 700 wouldnt get it done and they didnt actually want to spend, just say they tried B. They do not see Soto as a generational player C. They are shy to commit these kind of dollars to any one person D. They reached a point where they determined, if we go any higher for Soto, we are crossing a threshold where we are now in a place where we think we can have a better team if we use this money elsewhere (e.g. instead of going 750 for Soto, we think wed be better off with 3 additions that sum to 750) E. They knew that no matter how high they went, Mets would go bigger , so they moved on Heres my order of likelihood: D, C, E, B, A So I honestly think they will spend.

    Its also feasible
  10. drewski6
    IF they sign Manaea, TH, and Bregman, I think they have a good chance at making the playoffs.
  11. drewski6
    Or like Crochet
  12. drewski6
    But hes vocal about welcoming a chance to start , and you dont know that his recent success as a RP wouldnt translate to SP. Im not against signing him if he can be had for a modest contract (lets say under 15 AAV), but try him in the rotation first, likely, as 1. this will help you sign him and 2. if he works out as a starter his contract becomes a steal. Worst case scenario transiition him back. But hes a good call out, by you, as a target that I initially overlooked when I said "Another SP not named Burnes (Buehler, Manaea, Pivetta, Castillo)" He may ultimately be a reliever , even a closer. BUt he should still go into the above category as my grouping of #2 most likely pick-ups

    Theres something to be said for changing your culture and giving us playoff baseball, even if they arent favorites for WS. Meaning: Im not a championship or bust guy. Also, no way they are done.
  14. drewski6
    I dont think the plan is to fool us and still go cheap. This might ultimately be the end result, but I think Crochet's inexpensive contract was sought after because it allows you to flex the spending muscle elsewhere. Im expecting one of TH, Santander, Bregman (maybe even 2) Im expecting another pitcher like Pivetta, Hoffman, Buehler, Manaea , Castillo
  15. drewski6
    Im not so sure Hoffman sees himself as a reliever. BUt if we are still hunting for a SP also, he could make sense as you could try him in either role. Especially if hes paid like a reliever (thinking 14m AAV vs 23)
  16. drewski6
    To me, Bregman and Arrenado are not in the same universe. Mostly because of Bregmans defensive versatility (he's a SS by trade). You can play Breg at 2b, ss not Arrenado, also Breg had a very good second half of the season with his bat also. I think defensive versatility will play a significant factor in decisions. For example, if you have Bregman signed to term, he can move around the infield so you are most likely able to accommodate getting Campbell and/or Mayer in there at some point. Similar reason, this is why I think we are more likely to see Campbell than Anthony in the nearish term. If Story spends time on the DL, I think Id rather have Bregman at SS than Cedanne.
  17. drewski6
    Here are the moves I see coming , in order of likelihood 1. Teoscar OR Santander 2. Another SP not named Burnes (Buehler, Manaea, Pivetta, Castillo) 3. Another Catcher 4. Reliever (hopefully via trade, dont love remaining options in FA) 4. Bregman 5. Burnes
  18. drewski6
    1. I think Yoshi is here to stay, and I think if we got Bregman, he would most likely slot into 2B to start the year. Campbell is not even on the 40man (neither is ANthony). Frankly, I do not think the plan is to start the year with them on the big club. Things can change, of course, if Campbell is mashing at AAA and our infield D really stinks and Masa rebounds some trade value, then maybe you add Campbell to the 40 man and shift some things around. Likewise, I feel confident that our most likely move is a righty OF bat (Teoscar or Santander). I dont think the plan is to just pencil in Anthony who is not on the 40 man. Again things can change, you can always flip Abreu mid season to create a spot for a prospect, but I dont think they are going to start the year in MLB>
  19. drewski6
    Most catchers dont.
  20. drewski6
    Agreed. Im sadder for montgomery.
  21. drewski6
    He had a .717 OPS at AAA
  22. drewski6
    I love it. Teel has a high bust chance. Got a lot of Blake Swihart vibes about him.
  23. drewski6
    see that moon, he can say something positive about the red sox
  24. drewski6
    Hows Jo. Garcias knee rehabbing? Call him up!
  25. drewski6
    Im with you. ANother thing is how many Ryan Lavarnways and Blake Swithart came and went. There have been so many catcher busts throughout MLB , its a hard position to project. This was not an overpay. Crochet is really really good.
