    Vanna White, Eli's sister, says you can buy more vowels if you need them.
  2. JoeBrady
    I don't disagree, but part of that is offset by AR having a great defensive reputation and knowing all the ALE hitters.
  3. JoeBrady
    The rumor was that the hold up in the trade was the medicals, and that makes 100% sense. But there is also a slight chance that they might've wanted to discuss an extension before finalizing.

    Adley is among the best prospects I have ever seen. He went from #1/1 to #1 prospect. The injuries are a risk, but as I said even before the trade, Adley might still be the best all-around catcher in baseball.

    That was DD's superpower-trading suspect prospects for value before the rest of the league got clued in. Not many prospects wither and die on the vine with DD.
  6. JoeBrady
    A lot of fans were critical of trading for an injured player.
  7. JoeBrady
    Rankings and ratings are two different things. If you have a bad draft class, you could be ranked #1, but rated #100 in the minors.

    Dude! You nailed it!

    The Cubs had a very good day, imo. I'm not sure what happened to Detmers, but if you add those three to Civale and Peterson, they replaced their entire rotation in about one month, with mostly #3 types, but they should continue to rack up the wins. The Zeferjahn trade looked reachy. I like Ballesteros.

    I remember the NYY doing that with Joba in 2009-pitching him 3 IPs per start. Innings limits are tricky stuff.
  11. JoeBrady
    I think T is a good comp. I looked at his Statcast page and it is saturated with deep red, except, of course, the deep blue BB%. I think it's a pretty good package; just kind of a shock to the system.

    Age catches up, even if the player is a star. I'm not writing him or the other guys off, but: Betts due $203M thru age 39. Bogaerts due $170M thru age 40 Devers due $225M thru age 36 That's roughly $90M per, thru a pretty old age.
  13. JoeBrady
    Funny, there was a guy in another thread that didn't seem pleased that we traded suspects for a very good established player. I don't remember his name.
  14. JoeBrady
    Two separate trades. Ryan would've been a blockbuster. May was small potatoes trying to add a marginal #5 for 10 GS. It should've worked better, but that's the nature of these marginal trades.
  15. JoeBrady
    I also wouldn't sleep on Gutierrez. He seems like a poor man's Abreu. 9 HRs in 299 ABs, in A+, good K/W, and some speed. And I always get the impression that Mexican prospects are on the low-end of the scouting focus compared to the DR, Venezuela, etc.
  16. JoeBrady
    It's a shocking fall from grace. I was perfectly fine with getting rid of him. But I thought someone else would've topped this offer.
  17. JoeBrady
    White seems okay to me. I'm just not sure what this does to the 26-man roster.
  18. JoeBrady
    2) If the season is canceled, which I doubt, I'd be shocked if owners gave any service time to the players. 3) There is no monetary reason not to spend on Rutschman. We'll have $154M in cap space. That doesn't mean we'll like AR well enough to extend him, but money is certainly not an issue.
  19. JoeBrady
    Amazing. We were 15.5 games back of the NYY on 6/24. That was 40 days ago.
  20. JoeBrady
    There were moves I'd like to have made, such as Spring, Gausman, maybe Bieber, Adell, etc. But the RS have all the insider information about Anthony and Crochet. If they feel both will be available in September, then none of the guys I liked meant anything, and maybe they preferred to ride with what got us here, other than a big move at catcher.
  21. JoeBrady
    Someone said we paid more for Rutschman than the Dodgers paid for Skubal. I was explaining that the return that Detroit received was higher than the RS package. What were you talking about?
  22. JoeBrady
    NP, I don't get too deep into the minutiae. Given that Skubal's talent probably offsets Rutschman's extra year, the difference in talent is immaterial. I think we needed a catcher more than two month's of an ace.
  23. JoeBrady
    These are not 'calculations speculations'. From MLB: Tigers got Hope (55), River (55), and Smith (45) BA got Eyanson (55), Witherspoon (50) and Azocar (45) Those are the existing FV values. Eyanson could be a HOF or a washout, but today's FV values are today's FV values.
  24. JoeBrady
    The walk rates are obscene, but his GB% is outstanding. Pure guess is that Breslow sees something fixable.
  25. JoeBrady
    Hicks has 1 HR in his last 131 ABs.
