    He annoyed me so much during the manager switch that I don't care if he returns. The kids are supplying energy and excitement. And some degree of production. Slightly off target, but for all the talk about how Durbin compares to the other guys folks were interested in. Monasterio/Seigler have combined for 7 HRs. Nothing special, but the HR rate is higher than Bregman, Paredes, and Bichette.

    Do we want to upset the apple cart by trading a current member of the team?

    Contreras brings an attitude I have not seen in a long time.

    Except for Fred's trolling, I assume that no one means any harm. TBH, I often like when posters take a position that I consider illogical. That means it is time for a debate. That's the time I get to teach, or get taught. I enjoy learning things that I'd have considered counterintuitive.

    It won't be popular, but I'd go with Duran/JJ in LF. Our worst sOPS+ in the lineup is the lead-off slot. Our worst sOPS+ by position is 2B. IMHO, Arraez would be a perfect pickup.

    That's one of the things that separate baseball from the other sports. My left tackle either gets hurt or stays healthy, but doesn't otherwise get much better of much worse. Baseball has a huge amount of variance. That, in turn, requires is to look deeper into why teams are winning and losing. But only if fans want to.

    I'd have agreed throughout the winter, and up until about two weeks ago. I don't see anyone in this BP that I would cut or demote.

    What part of it is unsustainable? I've gone through the BR 28-day results. There will always be some players under and over their historical norms, but I don't see anything way off their projections.

    Good player, but we might be buying high. He's had a fairly pedestrian career so far. He's having a good year, but his HR/FB of 23% is likely unsustainable. He was scorching hot, but went 1-16 in his last 5 games with 5 Ks. And the Nats sat him on the 17and 19th. It's pretty unusual to see regulars benched in two games so close together. It feels like an undisclosed injury or something.

    The current RS players are 10-62 against Baz, with -0- HRs, one triple and one double.

    Is Mayer a bad influence? I always thought he was too quiet, if anything.
  12. JoeBrady
    No one in here knows. Probably 90% of the RS employees don't know. But as your medical accountant, I feel safe in saying that, if the doctor said he had to have surgery, one of two things could happen: They go for a second opinion. They have the surgery. Once upon a time, I had a torn meniscus. It wasn't a huge issue, and the doctor explained the pros and cons. I declined, and 15 years later, I did have the surgery. In both cases, I feel I made the right decision. The point being is that not all medical decisions are B&W. The doctor might have given the RS a wide range of options and outcomes.

    I actually like to see that in a trade. When teams have guys on the block that make no sense, like Clevinger in 2020, I suspect I am inheriting some issues. When guys are traded for payroll reasons, or rebuilds, that makes more sense to me.

    I'd probably go this route, assuming they'd value Early more than the others, which they might not. But if we did go this route, then I'd expect that the As would want to see Early pitch to assess his arm. I don't think we have the time for that.
  15. JoeBrady
    Rambunctious kids!
  16. JoeBrady
    Of course you could be right. If you called a raise with a 2-7 off-suit, and flopped 2-2-7, you'd be right, but I would still respect the opinion of the experts.
  17. JoeBrady
    With all due respect, I am still going to trust a doctor with 30 years of experience, who has seen the MRIs, and talked to the player, over that of an account, or whatever.
  18. JoeBrady
    Strangest comment of the day so far, but it is still early.
  19. JoeBrady
    It's a different case. They took on Nimmo's contract.

    If we know anything about human nature, it is that positive reinforcement does wonderful things for your ego. And rightfully so.
  21. JoeBrady
    The fans always know more than the doctors. That's Rule #1 in social media.
  22. JoeBrady
    You going to ante decent+ prospects to try for a minor upgrade at DH?
  23. JoeBrady
    With all due respect, who are you going to believe? One of the best doctors in the world, or a Red Sox fan? I think Breslow should take a poll of RS fans on Talksox to decide whether or not he requires an operation. IRT messaging, better to not even pay attention.
  24. JoeBrady
    That's always the first question, not the second. The reason all 30 teams look to acquire players is that they have no good choices. If Philly, for example, had a good RH OF, they wouldn't be looking for a good RH OF.
  25. JoeBrady
    I think the 'discomfort' is the medical opinion. Same with Crochet throwing or Suarez running. If you feel discomfort, you stop.
