    That's makes more sense. but I am trying to get more focus. Maybe a little bit more science or math to the situation. I think most people will accept that Duran to duplicate 2024. So then there is no reason to expect him to duplicate his DFA-equivalent 2026 start. Is it not reasonable then, to default to using either his 2025 stats, or his career stats to develop a range of expectations for what his numbers will look like if he continues to lead off for us?

    We got him for nothing, and he wasn't high on our depth chart. I was a little surprised SF gave up on him so quickly, but he spent parts of three years with them, with very little to show for it.
  3. JoeBrady
    The dude has to shut up. He has never once said anything insightful or useful.
  4. JoeBrady
    If we get Crochet back into the top-20, where he should be, is there anyone close to us?
  5. JoeBrady
    Any withdrawals? I had different issues, but I've heard differing opinions on withdrawal.
  6. JoeBrady
    I'd prefer two, but if we replaced Durbin with Paredes, and Paredes delivered his career-average OPS, that would then generate 86.2 wins. That would make us the #2 WC.
  7. JoeBrady
    3+ years is a giant range? I was going to suggest it was a bit smallish to draw a conclusion. But I'd love to hear your analysis. Do you disagree that Duran should be the lead-off hitter? And why?
  8. JoeBrady
    No RS game today. Gotta play around.
  9. JoeBrady
    If you are cautioning Red Sox fans about not paying too much attention to small sample sizes, then your mission is doomed. Let's start with something more basic like, he is unlikely to be as good as 2024, but unlikely to be as bad as 2026 start was. Even that I doubt some will understand.

    I've mentioned this before, but part of the issue with these discussions is that some RS fans (and I am being generous with 'some') have no idea what the stats are. Hamilton's 2024 stats, extrapolated to 600 ABs, are 16 HRs, 66 SBs, with a great glove. 50% of the RS fans probably don't know that. But that said, this is the opportunity for them to come in and admit they were wrong.
  11. JoeBrady
    I didn't get this at all. Over the past three seasons, Duran's 1-hole numbers are: .923 .835 .742 That's perfectly adequate. A little short on OBP, but the speed and SLG make up for it. Not to mention the inconvenient truth that we have no lead-off hitter. Give me someone with a .375-.400 OBP, I will re-consider.
  12. JoeBrady
    I couldn't agree more. Having a playoff series where all 3 are on the road is a problem. But in a 5- or 7-game series, with Crochet, Suarez, Gray and Tolle, we have a good shot against anyone (assuming we land at least one big bat, or two decent bats).
  13. JoeBrady
    With this rotation, and our top-3 in the BP, there is no chance I'd sell. We only need 1-2 thumpers. Not even great ones. Paredes plus one more 2B/3B type, with a 2B being more likely. And waiting until the TDL would be malpractice.
  14. JoeBrady
    I wasn't counting on him for much. A June return would be quite welcome.
  15. JoeBrady
    Janek is not impressing me, but Paredes is a good fit.
  16. JoeBrady
    I doubt he watches. He probably just looks at the score on CBS before deciding whether or not to troll us.
  17. JoeBrady
    It was only 1-2 weeks back when folks wanted Tolle sent to the RS BP.
  18. JoeBrady
    Yes and yes.
  19. JoeBrady
    I don't see him ranked highly anywhere.
  20. JoeBrady
    It's an interesting turn of events, given that much of the off-season discussion was that we were way too lefty-oriented. I'd like them to re-visit my Duran for Vientos/Baty suggestion.
  21. JoeBrady
    They were never going to get a return commensurate with his 9.0 bWAR. Even his 4.7 2025 bWAR would be acceptable to most. IMHO, the biggest trade issue was whether teams perceived him as a LF or a CF. You seldom get a haul for a LF. The drop from 23 DRS in 2024 to 9 in 2025 is significant. But no one was trading for his 2024 stats.
  22. JoeBrady
    Tibbs is not a top prospect.
  23. JoeBrady
    Without ever having been in the same room with Breslow, I feel pretty comfortable saying I know nothing about him.
  24. JoeBrady
    I've already acknowledged Bogaerts better reliability. But one of the injuries was Story diving for a GB. The arm qualifies as injury-prone, but the dive does not.
  25. JoeBrady
    It's such a beautiful and fundamental thing to see when they watch the ball hit the bat.
