    LOL! He gets minimum wage.

    So Luzardo hits the#8 hitter, walks the #9, Duran is ahead 1-0, then swings at a pitch 6 inches outside that he could not have made good contact on. Poor fundamentals.
  3. JoeBrady
    He's a good #26,

    I'd have thought it was so obvious that it didn't need to be mentioned. It was only about a week ago where some of the posters were screaming that Monasterio should be starting over Story. But starting Monasterio over the .606 Mayer on a L-L matchup? god forbid! Complaining for the sake of complaining.
  5. JoeBrady
    I once again agree. Mayer has a .451 OPS this month. Giving him a day off against a tough lefty is a nothing-burger.
  6. JoeBrady
    Yes and yes. The analyticals do a pretty good job figuring out who can which pitcher well. I'd bet that, over a full season, that Monasterio will outhit Yoshida against lefties. TBH, there is a decent chance he will outhit Duran against lefties. And Cora seemed bound to go L-R-L every game. I wouldn't go L-L-L, but past that, having a better hitter ahead of a worse hitter, probably works better.

    Unless extending a guy is part of the deal, there is very little difference between being 24 and being 29. Soto was always healthier than Alvarez, but I am not concerned about either one declining. FWIW, has anyone ever seen this much red? https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/yordan-alvarez-670541?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb

    I'd say it would definitely get their attention. But I'd hate to lose Tolle. I wonder if Houston could add Paredes and we give them Duran, but keep Eyanson
  9. JoeBrady
    Monasterio has a career .715 against lefties. Yoshida has a .651 against lefties.
  10. JoeBrady
    It was a great theory, except for the fact that Breslow was the busiest GM in RS history.
  11. JoeBrady
    Soto got the Nats 3 top-10 types plus a guy currently ranked in the 50-60 range. Arias might be a #20-30 type, an Tolle probably top 10-15. I only mention this because, occasionally, a name like Neto will pop up, even though there might be a -0- chance of him getting traded. And a month later, fans will be complaining that we didn't trade for him, notwithstanding the fact that we never reasonably had the resources to acquire him. I figured I'd get that out of the way early this time.
  12. JoeBrady
    One of my Philly phriends says he cannot pitch with guys on base. IMVHO, if it tipping pitches, he'd be bad every outing, and not flipping between AS-level production and really bad.
  13. JoeBrady
    Therein lies the problem. We no longer carry that type of weight. The opening bid has to start with Arias + Tolle.
  14. JoeBrady
    Don't get me wrong, I think Yordie is this generations Papi. But Paredes might be just as important to us at 1/3 the price. But I'm interested in hearing what fans would be willing to trade.
  15. JoeBrady
    Paredes + a good 7th inning guy, plus Crochet of course, and I just see no way that aren't an excellent team.
  16. JoeBrady
    Re-visit Paredes. He's not doing anything special, so the ask might only be a decent+ prospect, which is fair.
  17. JoeBrady
    I'd start him at 3rd and not think twice. But first you need to convince Posey to take back Masa, take a decent, non-premium prospect, and eat another ~ $60-70M. No GM ever likes to look that bad, that soon. Keep in mind, Devers is starting to hit.
  18. JoeBrady
    Besides the fit, there was never a moment where I thought he wasn't going to re-sign with the Phillies. They aren't the Dodgers, Mets or EE, but when DD wants to sign someone, he pays whatever he has to.
  19. JoeBrady
    I'm waiting for Raleigh, Devers, Trea Turner, Bichette, and Naylor to get DFAd.
  20. JoeBrady
    Story for MVP? Some sloppy ABs for the Phillies in the 9th. Chapman walked Schwarber, so Harper probably should've taken a pitch to start his AB. Then he walks Turner on 4 pitches, none particularly close, and Bohm swings at the first pitch? Good win, but we had an 8/0 K/W, which is ugly. We should give Durbin a day or two off. We have a very good pitching staff, even without Crochet and Suarez.
  21. JoeBrady
    It was possible, but a good bit less than likely. We had Abreu as our DH, and Yoshida as our backup DH. Given our needs elsewhere, DH was not where we needed to spend $30M. He re-signed with Philly and I assume that was always his plan.
  22. JoeBrady
    I take 100% credit. I traded him today for probably a worse SS, since the other guy was also a RS fan. Told him "I hope he proves me wrong and goes 30/30 the rest of the way'.
  23. JoeBrady
    I've put up with tons worse than this.
  24. JoeBrady
    It's more accurate to say that none of the likely moves would've worked out, at least where we are now. Contreras over Alonso is a no-brainer. Marte for either Tolle or Early, plus Mayer, is a non-starter Bichette is a non-starter. E. Suarez is a non-starter. Bregman would be a negative so far. One could argue in favor of Duran/Paredes, but my understanding is that Houston wanted Abreu, which is once again, a non-starter. One could cherry-pick a couple of signings that were never going to happen, or never considered, but among the more popular moves discussed in here, none would've worked out.
  25. JoeBrady
    It also doesn't mean that they wouldn't have had worse stats either.
