    I'd pay that price.
  2. JoeBrady
    Probably not. But I think both offer more value to us as injury insurance than they would be as trade bait. I like Rutschman, but he's had injuries.
  3. JoeBrady
    Betterer, but at least some downside risk on Harper's arm.
  4. JoeBrady
    I thought this was the Devers thread.
  5. JoeBrady
    I was going to add that to my post, but the extra 6 words seemed like too much work. $20M*4 takes him thru age 33.
  6. JoeBrady
    I could do that. I wouldn't disrupt the team chemistry by adding a catcher, but Rutschman has great tools. He might be the best all-around catcher between him, Goodman, and Langeliers. Some injury concerns, but I wouldn't be surprised if emerged to be the AS catcher he was projected to be.

    After the off-season, when he botched getting Contreras over Alonso, and Durbin over Bregman, FG says that Breslow is the all time leader in botched trades that were out perfectly.
  8. JoeBrady
    I'm waiting to hear their new defensive alignment. Rumor has it that that Stott goes to 3B, Bohm goes to 1B, and Harper goes to RF. 4 possible defensive downgrades in one trade.

    Ryan had a 4.89/5.01 in August & September last year. So I am really happy we didn't trade top-tier talent to get him.
  10. JoeBrady
    I'm not sure I agree with the logic. His performance this year means he was likely a good target last year, even if he under-performed. He started off with three very good performances. No way of proving it, but I'd bet trade works out well the majority of the time.
  11. JoeBrady
    We likely won't get it, nor should we, but having more certainty would help the trade outlook. Anthony in early September, and Crochet in late September, and I'd be inclined to ride with whom we have.

    I like Holmes fine. My question is, 'who goes down if we acquire him?'. I like all 13 pitchers, a lot. Demoting some of the kids for 2 weeks at a time might work, so long as they understand we are saving them for October (hopefully).
  13. JoeBrady
    No game today. What'll we do for entertainment? ghfstca.
  14. JoeBrady
    While at the same time claiming they should've been sellers.
  15. JoeBrady
    You can never tell about Duran, but I expect that there will be a market for him. We could probably go low-end right now and swap Duran for Adell, and Adell would be our #4 OF/platoon DH in 2027.
  16. JoeBrady
    I seriously doubt that.
  17. JoeBrady
    I agree. I'm still incredibly PO'd at him for demanding that he speak with the owner of the company because his boss got fired, even though Story was a big part of the reason that his boss was fired. But even putting that aside, he just didn't play well. His plate discipline was so bad that I'd fine a pitcher for throwing him any strikes.
  18. JoeBrady
    I don't really see a compelling reason to choose Abrams over Mead at 2nd, if it requires trading good prospects and eating half of Yoshida's contract. It's basically choosing Abrams over Yoshida, paying an extra $9M or so, and losing Eyanson++. It's an upgrade, but we can get much better upgrades at that cost.
  19. JoeBrady
    Mead.
  20. JoeBrady
    Yoshida should be our DH and Anthony should be our LF. And we might still have Duran.
  21. JoeBrady
    I agree about 95%. IRT to 'I don't care', I don't think you base your decisions on what might happen. If we don't trade for SS, and Monasterio collapses, and IKF, Arias and Story don't work out, then them's the breaks. The prices might be exorbitant, but I'd still have all the phone lines open. I'd be real comfortable to sit back until 5:00 and see which teams still don't have a date for the dance.
  22. JoeBrady
    I thought he might morph into our closer as well. He had a .570 OPS in relief. We have a very good BP, but it's always nice to have someone in reserve.
  23. JoeBrady
    Allen should've been a 1st ballot HOF, but some of these writers know nothing about baseball. Minoso should've been elected earlier. He had a 130 OPS+, a GG, and was one of the Cubans that were larger than life with great style points. I think I read that Minoso is the player that Clemente wanted to be. I like Tiant for the Hall, but he is marginal. Evans should be a lock.
  24. JoeBrady
    I could bet on them. They could probably be a little low-end by playoff caliber teams, but I don't think they'd be black holes. If I had a straight choice between those three, or a Story/Mayer combo, right now I would choose those three.
  25. JoeBrady
    They forced me into retirement. Pencil-sharpening is a skill that requires fine motor control, and I was lone surviving accountant on this planet that liked using pencils. Can't get a sharp pencil if you have wounds on your fingertips.
