    Duran has been one of the best players in BB this month.
  2. JoeBrady
    If one were to ask every girl in the country if their SO listened to them, would any guy get a positive? And if that is the case, is not listening then a negative, or just an unfixable flaw? Or just an informal survey, has anyone in here NOT been told they don't listen?
  3. JoeBrady
    Anthony's career bWAR per 162 games is 6.5.
  4. JoeBrady
    I'm cool that that. ed-You know what I'd be cool with? Not rolling over. If we get up 2-0, then down 6-2, I'd like to see us tie it once in a while, even if we lose.

    The 6 bottom teams include BA, the RS, Detroit, and Houston. I think all four are trying. But I do believe that BB needs a floor and cap.
  6. JoeBrady
    I don't get that. I'm pretty sure 28 teams won't be playing for a championship.
  7. JoeBrady
    Of course they care about the present value. I can offer Mookie a billion $$$ to teach me how to hit, but I can only afford $100/year for the next 10 million years.
  8. JoeBrady
    They are all mirages. There are generally only two types of players. Good affordable players that teams want to keep. And overpaid, underperforming players that teams want to get rid of.
  9. JoeBrady
    I guess the real question, is she wrong?
  10. JoeBrady
    There is no chance that SF makes that trade, so it is for discussion purposes only.

    Chapman would've been a great signing 3 years ago. That's when we could've had the Devers conversation. A move to DH would've precluded Yoshida. But such is life. Past that, we won't get any elegant solutions. You have to give up something regardless. Even if a real good 27 year old was available, they would still want a contract taking them to age 35 and beyond. You have to pick your poison. That said, I am glad that opinions are starting to turn against acquiring aging players. Just 4 weeks ago, there were a lot of people that were adamant that we needed to acquire Bregman (32), Suarez (34+), Alonso (31+). Marte (32+).

    Without going into the calculations, I figure that Adames + Chapman cost us $230.8M, and I would expect another 30.1 bWAR for their remaining 10.33 seasons, collectively. But more importantly, they are a near-perfect fit. Their projected .743 & .718 are tons better than what we currently have.
  13. JoeBrady
    I'm not sure anyone is 'yearning' for him. I've seen suggestions that we acquire him him and Adames, but in exchange, SF has to pick up salaries of Story and Yoshida.
  14. JoeBrady
    I see nothing atypical about Mayer. 1,411 PAs in the minors, with an .818 in AAA. I see nothing in his background that suggests a development that is different than other top prospects.
  15. JoeBrady
    It's not an either/or situation. You need an ace + a #1 + a #2. If you can do that, you can add a couple of aging league-average SPs for $10M.
  16. JoeBrady
    Lester isn't the slam-dunk that folks think he is. He cost $155M for 12.2 bWAR. He's worth it because they won a WS, but in his final 4 years, he averaged 1 bWAR/season.
  17. JoeBrady
    And on the IL.
  18. JoeBrady
    He got $306.7/12 (CBT) from the Dodgers.
  19. JoeBrady
    It does, It values closers on a replacement basis. So a guy like Wakefield, has 3000+ IPs, even at a minimum upgrade from a replacement player, yields a huge surplus. No matter how well a closer performs, his surplus won't be as high if he only has 900 IPs.
  20. JoeBrady
    A lot of those names were mentioned, but mostly a mirage. The ones talked about every day were mostly failures.
  21. JoeBrady
    Trading away overrated prospects is DD's superpower. That said. he inherited 4 young, a top-tier farm, and was allowed to out-spend every team in BB. He had Devers, Bogaerts, Betts & JBJ, traded away a top-10 and a top-5 prospect, and had the money to sign Price & JDM. It worked out great, but it wasn't exactly a magic show.
  22. JoeBrady
    He inherited a bloated payroll, and four years of DD drafts which resulted in nothing but Duran. I'm not saying Bloom did anything, but he didn't inherit much either.
  23. JoeBrady
    That is certainly not unfair.
  24. JoeBrady
    Before he was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers, All-Star outfielder Mookie Betts turned down a contract extension from the Boston Red Sox worth $300 million. Even after a pandemic has left MLB facing a 60-game season and significant uncertainty, Betts isn't rethinking his decision. "I don't regret turning down that," Betts said of Boston's offer, according to Andy McCullough of The Athletic. The way Mookie responded, it feels like $300M was the real number. If it wasn't $300M, would Mookie not have corrected it? And if it was only $29M, the difference is diminimus.
  25. JoeBrady
    I seriously doubt Scott knows. I've listened to thousands of people spouting opinions. The more vague they are, the less I believe them.
