    I can't believe that people are still pining for Bregman. For the price of Alonso & Bregman (1.6 bWAR), we got Contreras, Suarez & Durbin (2.8 bWAR).
  2. JoeBrady
    Casual fans don't understand AAA depth.
  3. JoeBrady
    I think what some fans don't differentiate is that all these moves are 'okay', but never, ever consider the long-term results. It's entirely possible that Alonso will out-play Contreras this year. But over two years, Alonso could even be ahead by 1-2 WAR, but then you are stuck with his salary for three more years.

    In the sense that one compares strictly HRs to all-around hitting, they are similar. We know that OPS is more closely related to scoring than HRs are. More of either is good, but more OPS, and specifically, more OBP, is what results in higher scoring.
  5. JoeBrady
    A lot of fans, particularly RS fans, want the shiniest, and usually the oldest, toy they see in the window. Then complain about the contract two years later.
  6. JoeBrady
    All offensive stats add to your offense. HRs look pretty, but Story has more than twice the number of HR/AB than Tony Gwynn,
  7. JoeBrady
    I doubt that there will be a material difference between the two. If your only focus is HRs, and only in 2026, then you are probably better off with Alonso. If you value defense, OBP, and value, then you're better off with Contreras.

    Minor technicality, but Moran threw 38 pitches on Tuesday, albeit as an opener.
  9. JoeBrady
    No, they didn't. The top infield bats available: Bichette .571 OPS/ -0.6 bWAR Bregman .677/0.5 Alonso .786/1.1 Suarez .663/0.0 Polanco .532/-0.3 And all these guys were discussed in here. The total OPS looks in the range of .650, and the total bWAR is 0.7.

    Great game! Very enjoyable.

    Only because they happened to show it, the TB catcher was just switching out his communication device. All the pitches are called by the manager or the FO. There is an actual science to this.
  12. JoeBrady
    I assume that every manager gets input from the FO. If all a manager did was to start the top-9 OPS', I'm pretty sure I could do that.

    15/5 K/W in 13 IPs against minor leaguers doesn't impress me that much. Currently we have only 4 SPs, including Bello. We got lucky with Bennett, but we can't go to the well too often. When Suarez returns, then we have 5. Only when Crochet returns will we have a decision to make.
  14. JoeBrady
    Thanks to the pressure applied by Moon.
  15. JoeBrady
    I've seen 10s of thousands of posts from Red Sox fans. Most were only semi-lucid from a BB perspective.

    Our Golden Age from 2004-2018, our OBP ranking among all 30 teams was 1st 7x, and 2nd 3x.In our worst two seasons out of that period, 2012 and 2014, we were 21st and 14th in OBP.
  17. JoeBrady
    Like everything else, it depends on how much defensive weakness you are willing to put up with in exchange for the offense.
  18. JoeBrady
    I intended on him playing 3B instead of Durbin.
  19. JoeBrady
    Wrong Anderson link.
  20. JoeBrady
    Very interesting analysis.
  21. JoeBrady
    It seems like 5GG doesn't understand why Yoshida isn't in the starting lineup, and you don't understand why he is even on the team. Interesting times.
  22. JoeBrady
    I was happy he got traded, but I don't dislike the guy. It was always about him being a good, not great, DH at a premium price tag. There is no possible fit for him with the RS, even if we included Yoshida in the trade, but I'd take him back if they could figure it out. Just for fun, Devers + Eldridge + 'some' $$$ for Yoshida + Durbin + a good, non-premium prospect. All it would take is for Posey to acknowledge that maybe it wasn't a great move, and that maybe the SFG need to start looking forward to the future.
  23. JoeBrady
    I was hoping (before Monasterio) that Gasper would be our #26.
  24. JoeBrady
    My head officially hurt now.
  25. JoeBrady
    The option year was what I was referring to. Does that effectively give us another year, or is there a catch?
