    This is typical for the RSN. Things cannot be grey. Players can only be stars or bums, and not just decent regulars. Now Devers is either a model for all mankind to emulate, or he is a sociopath.
  2. JoeBrady
    I might be the only one in here that thinks we might want to swing a trade for a reduced-salary Devers. But the idea that Devers hasn't declined is just a fantasy. Virtually every stat has declined.
  3. JoeBrady
    It's entirely possible. It just feels like the incident is getting more play in the media because of the issues he had in Boston.
  4. JoeBrady
    You could be correct, but I'd bet serious money you are only guessing.
  5. JoeBrady
    We're not even close to the sum of our parts. We just don't win winnable games.
  6. JoeBrady
    He's a problem, but my point was really evaluating what has led to such a miserable 2026. Since Yoshi wasn't a big part of 2025, he doesn't get the same level of blame as some others. I probably should've included Duran, but some of his decline could be BABIP-related, and I am not sure the FO has handled him properly.
  7. JoeBrady
    Didn't Duran play last year? Couldn't that have been everyone's baseline? He was still a 4.9 bWAR player.
  8. JoeBrady
    His off-season was acquiring Gray, Contreras, Durbin, IKF, Suarez and Bennett. Bregman, Bichette, Alonso, etc., are still real players, but probably not worth the cost. Out of all the reasonable moves, which were discussed at length, Schwarber is the only difference-maker, and he re-signed with his original team. I doubt he gets fired for what he did in the off-season. One would have to fire him based on Story, Anthony, Crochet, and Bello's performances.
  9. JoeBrady
    Seriously? I mean guys get hot and cold all the time. But how could you say one of the hottest players in BB 'stinks'?
  10. JoeBrady
    Overall scoring has not increased. Tough to say if this is the coaching, or on the players, or the overall level of talent.
  11. JoeBrady
    He'd have likely started in the BP. You don't pass on a starting 3B in order to retain an RP, even one with some ceiling to him.
  12. JoeBrady
    I fracking love that dude, but yeah. How this guy hasn't made it before is not something I can figure out. He throws a sinker in the high 90s.
  13. JoeBrady
    I'm not wagering my 1955 Corvette on it, but yes. Folks don't realize it, but it was a good offseason. Gray Contreras Suarez IKF Durbin Bennett Are all looking like good acquisitions at this point.
  14. JoeBrady
    Those two statements don't sound like they belong together. 'Kicking the pooch' makes it sound like you thought they mad e mistake not re-signing him.
  15. JoeBrady
    3B was always likely going to be Mayer, with Arias taking over SS. Casas was always assumed to be the 1B, even after the injury.
  16. JoeBrady
    That's reminiscent of the Blaze and Montgomery trades. Chavis hit a HR in his 2nd game as a Pirate and some of the fans howled about trading away a future HOF. He had an incredible 42/1 K/W that year, and some fans just didn't want to see it.
  17. JoeBrady
    That matches up well with what I just said about Blaze. You have to give up guys to get guys. DD traded Ben Brown to get Robertson. Brown is starting to pitch well for the Cubs, so good for the Cubs. But I'd make that trade every day of the week. DD gave up Tait and Abel for Duran, and in another two years, it could be a disaster. But it was a trade DD needed to make. You don't get Robertson or Duran without giving up something that might hurt at some point. Same with Blaze, Harrison, and others.
  18. JoeBrady
    I think that was DD's strong suit, but not everyone gets a shot. Blaze, imho, looked like a guy that could be a marginal starter in MLB, but more likely a good sub. These are the guys you give up for a #5 SP. No one is giving up on Matz unless the prospect has at least some type of shot,
  19. JoeBrady
    We won it, and imho, we won it huge. That Mil also won is of no consequence to me. Hamilton is Hamilton (and I like him), and Harrison was never going to get a chance to start with us, and likely was going to be a BP piece.
  20. JoeBrady
    That'll fall on deaf ears. Breslow probably did exactly what 100% of all GMs do. The probably have a board of 30+ names on it. And every name comes with a 'what if'. Once they found Contreras at a reasonable price, their interest (and price) in Alonso goes down. Same as Bregman and Durbin. The price tag for Bregman has to be affected by the price tag Durbin. That's the same as if one of us was looking at a car or a house. If you find a nice house down the block, you won't pay double that amount for a slightly nicer house a block over.
  21. JoeBrady
    The 'here and now' thingy appears to be extremely flexible. I do not have the foggiest idea, whatsoever, why people cannot admit that Durbin looks exactly like the 2.7 bWAR player we traded for. It is not like he is the only player that doesn't have hot and cold streaks.
  22. JoeBrady
    There will always be someone out there having a good week, then getting a lot of 'what ifs', and then settling into a run of mediocrity. i actually have my Statcast set to call up Yorke, because someone was singing his praises.
  23. JoeBrady
    But if had stayed at Fenway, he **might** have had a .900 OPS and 30 SBs. And I am might be the only guy holding on by my fingernails, but i think still think he'd be a good addition for us. It just gets more expensive for Posey to undo that trade, like every day.
  24. JoeBrady
    I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, and maybe there was a language issue, but I got the feeling Devers was just trying to say he was okay to run. There had been an issue with his leg.
  25. JoeBrady
    Duran should be the automatic lead-off hitter. i don't see anyone being close.
