    Off-topic, but 'C' is okay? Isn't that a 2.0 index?

    B. Too early on the Rutschman trade, and it could easily be a trade both sides win. I like Early/Mead, but most of all because I suspect Early's long-term health, and Mead fits really well. I like the Mayer trade a lot more now than I did. He was unlikely to make the team in 2027, and my guess is that his value is more likely to decline than increase. And getting someone that can contribute today adds some value. The White trade was likely to support and rest players until Anthony (hopefully) returns. And if you are worried about trading Uberstine, you might as well cancel your cell plan.

    I may have started a Fire Valentine thread the day after he got fired.

    It could be almost anything, but our 2027 infield is accounted for, without including Story, Monasterio, Seigler, Romy, Cheng or Sogard. By my reckoning, that's three starters, 2 UIF, and three minor leaguers. It's not just a 26-man problem, but a 40-man problem.

    Everyone wanted Sale gone. And everyone wanted a 2B (and still do). Sometimes I wonder about my memory. Until I come in here and realize that no one remembers anything.
  6. JoeBrady
    And a Fire Tito, Fire Valentine, Fire Farrell, and Fire Roenicke (you thought I'd forget).

    Any time you are dealing with near-coinflip decisions, you will be dealt near random outcomes.

    Just like with our over-abundance of pitching, baseball karma typically addresses these problems herself. As someone else said, if everyone keeps playing like they are, then who to cut/demote is a good problem.

    He was too quiet last June 25. But his work in the off-season was nothing but home runs so far. You probably should've had something positive to say.
  10. JoeBrady
    I know I post a lot of stuff that you don't understand, but you need to be more specific than 'huh?.
  11. JoeBrady
    I don't think it was that bad. A couple of gambles for sure, but I think the press over-estimates how much teams are willing to give up for two months of work.
  12. JoeBrady
    No. We're riding with our guys now!
  13. JoeBrady
    We had discussions about this at the time. Our W/L record in one-run games v non-one-run games: Mar 0-2 1-2 Apr 2-2 9-13 May 3-5 10-9 Jun 1-3 11-11 Jul 5-1 16-3 Aug 1-0 2-0 Obviously July is the outlier, but the other months looks fairly normal once you adjust for one-run games.

    My point is that those stats were expected to decline when he went to fulltime. Going from platoon hitter to fulltime, and maintaining your stats is huge.
  15. JoeBrady
    While that is undoubtedly true, there should be consideration to the moves he made, at the time he made them. And at least some consideration for the peripheral stats and sample sizes. Mead's .500 OBP and Miller's 0.00 are likely not sustainable.
  16. JoeBrady
    Not really, but I will expand on that later.
  17. JoeBrady
    Was the Fire Bloom Thread longer than the Fire Epstein, Fire Cherington, Fire DD and Fire Bloom threads?
  18. JoeBrady
    I mentioned that on MLB-R. Had we landed Miller a little earlier, I think we'd have had a market for Watson, even if it was only a non-Rule 5 lottery ticket. I like all our guys, but we might have to make decisions we don't necessarily like.
  19. JoeBrady
    It's kind of a fantasy, because every team has guys that are injured and wondering 'what if'. But if we got Crochet and Anthony? If our rotation for a 5-game was Crochet-Gray-Suarez? And throw in Tolle for a 7-game series? But we cannot digress from the task at hand, which is tonight's game.

    From 6/7-year end, Story was one of the best SS's in BB with an .839 OPS, and #23 in fWAR among all players. He's at that magic age of 33, BUT his production might've been caused by playing thru an injury. He annoyed the ever-living crap out of me, but is important to acknowledge the various possibilities.
  21. JoeBrady
    A leadership-type statement from Story would be that he expects to be the #26 guy on the bench playing as needed.
  22. JoeBrady
    It is definitely a breakout season. He has similar stats as last year, but is now playing fulltime against lefties. That's a big difference over being a platoon player. And he projects to be a 6-WAR player.
  23. JoeBrady
    My fear is that Story will return looking for his starting gig again.
  24. JoeBrady
    Lots of stuff can change between now and then, but I want the kids that got us here to be on the roster.
  25. JoeBrady
    Sandoval should be ridden as hard and as long as we can. He's one of the bridges we need to get to our key 1-2-3 playoff SPs.
