    With all due respect to your man Bobby Valentine, we haven't had a non-Valentine 70-win season in over 60 years.
  2. JoeBrady
    If you are adding both Bregman and Devers to the top side, then you have to Gray & Contreras (along with the names mentioned) to the bottom side. Basically, we traded: Bregman & Devers for Gray, Contreras, Suarez, Durbin, +++
  3. JoeBrady
    Probably both gone now, but there was a joint on the corner of Fordham & Valentine Avenue that rated highly and Pepino's on 241 St. & White Plains Road. Now I mostly go to Frank Pepe's.
  4. JoeBrady
    I assume that was Fred's point. Last year, we lead with Crochet, Bello & Early. This year, it will be Crochet, Suarez & Gray. We should match up well with most teams.
  5. JoeBrady
    It'll be 68 if we lose our next game.
  6. JoeBrady
    I never understood Original Rays.
  7. JoeBrady
    LAA doubling down on failure.
  8. JoeBrady
    Fred just changed his under/over to 98.
  9. JoeBrady
    A quarter-inch too close to the piping = first world problems?
  10. JoeBrady
    More divisions allow to better match small market and big market teams.
  11. JoeBrady
    I never thought about it, but that's a good bargaining point. $125M would currently cover 6 teams and $150M would cover 11 teams. If they kept it to $125 floor, you'd have almost no teams voting against it. On the high side, you have 5 $300M teams, with two being fringy. If you added another 125% penalty for > $315M, you likely only lose 3 votes. The league probably passes it, and the players might not care enough to suffer the poor optics.
  12. JoeBrady
    He has a net $20M option in 2028. He might be staying unless we're sure Arias is ready.
  13. JoeBrady
    Only if one thinks dumping Devers was an issue. Messy, but a good ending IMHO.
  14. JoeBrady
    I see no issues. We got him because we made him a better offer, and lost him because the Cubs made him a better offer. And then replaced him with Suarez & Durbin & IKF.
  15. JoeBrady
    This was always the problem with the signing. Two draft picks, and the only way he stays is if he goes bad.
  16. JoeBrady
    I have no problem with Story staying. Outside of the arm injury, his other injuries were non-recurring, and he's been outstanding when healthy (4.0/162).
  17. JoeBrady
    Nothing wrong with graduating with a degree in auto mechanics with a minor in Bentleys. Move to Hollywood and you'll make a fortune.
  18. JoeBrady
    Barring an injury, I'd start KC in AAA. Make him force is way in. Get his confidence sky-high.
  19. JoeBrady
    I'll go with this. Against a tough lefty, at Fenway where LF matters less, they could go with a Masa, Raffy, Romy, Con, Narvaez, Story, Durbin, IKF type lineup. 8 righties, rest some regulars, and have good lefties on the bench one the starter leaves.
  20. JoeBrady
    Just impo: Go to a mid-week Yankee game and the tickets cost very little on-line. And you can bring in a sandwich and soda. It was an unusual year, but the top-12 FAs listed by MLB-R went to 12 different teams.
  21. JoeBrady
    But those two are not the same issues. The first is a concern that your team will never finish 1st. The second is a concern about players being overpaid. As a RS fan, the system works. If I were an O's fan or a Rays fan, I'd be annoyed that the EE and TO have double the spending money.
  22. JoeBrady
    I find Americans in general have a POV and have no interest in challenging it. A couple of other items. Who is their closer? Some of Hoffman's numbers were prtty ugly, and Rogers has very little closing experience. They have only one player with more than 23 HRs and he is 36 (for those that consider HRs a difference-maker). Gimenez has a good glove, but has never played SS fulltime. 26 GS in the past 4 years.
  23. JoeBrady
    Look at Cincy. 20% when they made the playoffs, and had 85 Py wins instead of 83. If Burns lives up to his reputation, they can win that division.
  24. JoeBrady
    And having IKF as a super-sub will add a lot.
  25. JoeBrady
    I'm cool with letting Bregman walk at that price, but the difference between him and Devers brought a smile to my face. I mean, with a guy on 1st, a hard grounder to 3rd should make you happy. Not cause you to clinch your stomach.
