    The Cubs led MLB with 110. If we have 8 batters exceeding 100, we'll come pretty close to that 110.
  2. JoeBrady
    That's mostly my point. LF - 26th >>>Anthony 3B - 16th SS - 22nd >>> Arias 2B - 23rd >>> Mead C - 25th >>> Rutschman We have improved every weakness.

    Show your work please. As far as I can see, Sale was due $27.5M in 2024. The RS paid Atlanta $17M. The RS saved $10.5 plus they got Grissom. It didn't work out, but those are the details.

    I don't consider it a real discussion. Who needs Shell, Upshaw or Otto, since they don't score TDs. Who needs a point guard? Or Bobby Orr?

    SLG is very similar to OPS and OBP, and better than just HRs.
  7. JoeBrady
    I agree. Just for fun, this is the top 10 teams runs scored by category: OPS 778 OBP 777 HRs 755 A good hitter is a good hitter no matter their particular skill, but HRs don't help as much as OBP.

    Our age tolerance is rising instead of decreasing, almost like being old is an attribute.
  9. JoeBrady
    Jackson, not Campbell.
  10. JoeBrady
    The funny part is that fans were upset that he wasn't traded earlier AND he was traded later.
  11. JoeBrady
    We're not signing either Suzuki or Lowe just to put Durbin on the bench.
  12. JoeBrady
    Folks don't like that narrative, but I agree. He was likely leaving.
  13. JoeBrady
    All the good ELDC does will be offset by Story.
  14. JoeBrady
    None of the FAs are true power hitters.
  15. JoeBrady
    It would exactly like that. Fans would go from 'he stinks and is untradeable' to "I can't believe we traded him'.
  16. JoeBrady
    Not sure if I am re-posting, but how much would a prospect like Grissom cost if you were allowed to purchase him
  17. JoeBrady
    Since 2021, 7/29 with -0- HRs. SSS warning, but it makes sense.
  18. JoeBrady
    Duran? Duran has never been hurt.
  19. JoeBrady
    That was my point earlier. We don't really have an opening for someone who is just a 'good hitter'. Two considerations: Rutschman, Contreras, Mead, Durbin, Anthony, Ceddanne, Abreu, and Yoshida all project to OPS' of over 100. The only position that projects to under 100 is SS, and it hard to get a slugger at SS, and we very likely will go with Story and then Arias. We ranked 10th last year in OPS at DH. We don't really have any real holes in the offense. Unless we obtain a Yordie type of player, anyone else we acquire won't move the needle.
  20. JoeBrady
    Define 'so much'. Based on his recent history, what was the going rate for someone Sale?
  21. JoeBrady
    That's what we said about Yoshida and Story. I have some tolerance some end-of-career write-offs, but you might be lose half your investment.
  22. JoeBrady
    I replay in order, without looking at subsequent posts, but that's my feeling as well. All these deals look good for one, year. And occasionally 2. Seldom anything past age 33.
  23. JoeBrady
    You might not want to count on Anthony, but he is certainly starting. Whether it is Story or Arias, SS will be manned by a RS player. Over the past couple of years, Mead and Lowe have similar fielding stats. So for all practical purposes, you would be adding LH semi-platoon player, that you'll be paying for ages 32-33-34, and maybe 35, and throwing in a draft pick. He's good, but I don't see the long-term value. For me, he has a certain Marte feel to him, like a very good player about to go sideways.
  24. JoeBrady
    Disappointing end, but ALL Yankee losses must be celebrated.
  25. JoeBrady
    I agree, but I doubt anyone wants either player. Maybe package them in a bigger deal for an overpaid player that fits better. Story still had a 29/3 K/W after his return from his injury. That's unplayable.
