    So are you going to be the only one in here to not post a win total?
  2. JoeBrady
    Cease came to mind immediately. Given the amount that SPs subsequently signed for, $30M * 7 seems like an awful lot.

    The QO is devastating to the lower ranked players. When you sign Tucker, the QO is barely a rounding mistake. When you sign someone like Bregman, who stayed only one year, the draft picks become painful.
  4. JoeBrady
    Let's hear what your win total is and we can discuss it. I am eagerly looking forward to your non-response.

    I mentioned last year that we had a good team, but a wild amount of variance. I feel a lot better this year. My wildcards: Catcher-We should be okay, but Narvaez is a sophomore, ended the year hurt, and Wong was bad. Chapman-Almost impossible for him to be as good, and is 38. Whitlock is one of my favorite players, but I am not sure he is a closer. Mayer just a little. He should be good, and even if he is just mediocre, we have IKF. But he can't bomb completely either. I like IKF a lot in his UIF role, but less so as a FT starter.

    Similar here, but I just wanted a quality 1B and 2B. BR ranked us as #21 and #19, respectively. Contreras and Durbin should put put us in the top-15 in each. On the pitching side, I wanted a #2, and argued for a #4 in addition. Suarez and Gray cover that easily. I also argued that we needed to trade Duran to make this happen. By being to make the additions, without giving up Duran, means we have no loss from trading Devers.

    Thank you for the link. That article, along with the TS article, have made for great reading this morning.

    For the folks from NY, that's a whole different Felipe Lopez. Our Felipe was arguably the #1 HS player in the country when he came out.

    2011 was the last time Fred was right about something. He said that Buchholz injury was such that he could have returned in September, had they treated it right. But I believe the RS crack medical staff said 'we don't MRI boo-boos'.
  10. JoeBrady
    92. And, if we win the division, we go to the WS.
  11. JoeBrady
    I'm not sure how out-bidding everyone else for Suarez rates an A-, but overall, we've had a good off-season.
  12. JoeBrady
    I like the first, though I don't think it makes too much difference. But I do like Durbin behind Story since Story likes to run, and Durbin usually makes contact.
  13. JoeBrady
    I try to get to the gym every day, but cannot imagine catching for 15 minutes, let alone 90.
  14. JoeBrady
    There is seldom any reason to rest a player at DH. Most of your best fielders don't hit enough to warrant them DH'ing. As you mention, if you think a player needs day off, just line it up so he avoids a pitcher that he has problems with.
  15. JoeBrady
    I almost posted, after IKF, that Fred should've wagered. I'd have conceded that IKF is not a 2.5 player without arbitration. Fortunately, they added Durbin, and my 20 year undefeated streak against Fred remains intact.
  16. JoeBrady
    Your offer that wanted a 3B with an .820 OPS (basically Jose Ramirez)? Doesn't matter. I told you they would add a 2.5 bWAR infielder, and they did.
  17. JoeBrady
    DHam crushed it for me in 2024. The full-season extrapolation was 16 HRs and 66 SBs. And even higher if you are platooning him.
  18. JoeBrady
    I would challenge that assertion with a wager, but since I am on the plus side with my opinion that we would add a 2.5+ bWAR infielder, I assume that you would smartly decline my generous offer.
  19. JoeBrady
    Yes. I have always, always wanted the guys we trade away to do well. I want teams to think that our prospects are fairly ranked, and I want other GMs to think about dealing with Breslow. IMHO, if you get a reputation for dealing players that crap out, it lessens the motivation for other teams to deal with you.
  20. JoeBrady
    It's a SSS for both years, but DHam was very good in 2024.
  21. JoeBrady
    There is little doubt you are right. But I love to see those 2-inning, -0- run outings. Can we compromise and give him 2-inning outings against the NYY only?
  22. JoeBrady
    It feels like just a week ago that we had this conversation with me and MVP adding unvaluable data points.
  23. JoeBrady
    Really unlikely. Part of the springtime ritual of 'this is the best I ever felt in my life'.
  24. JoeBrady
    Very self-destructive. It's like that with some people. Without mentioning names, there are certain people where I cringe when I see their latest pronouncement.
  25. JoeBrady
    You're not wrong, but it feels like posting 'virtually 100% true' is too much work.
