  1. That was an issue for me. I am nowhere near giving up on him, but I expected more from him after the demotion. Even in ST, he has a 6/0 K/W.
  2. I think we are in agreement. The internet doesn't always space things the way I like, so I don't put too much effort into spacing. If I deem it important, like a sequence of numbers, I will use Excel and copy it over. Now that we have resolved this important issue, now we can work on trading our Yoshida for someone else's RH Yoshida.
  3. Michael Taylor in 2023 was the last one.
  4. When Gooden first showed up, the Mets were coming off a bad season. One of my friend's girlfriend worked for a dentist that had season tickets. I use to get all the afternoon games. I saw him early throw a few 98 mph FBs to Hundley, who was a professional hitter. Then he threw that lollipop curve. Hundley wasn't even close to the pitch. He was so badly beaten that I started to laugh. He was unhittable. Until the NYMs thought the right move was to let a 21 year old pitcher throw 16 CG and 276.2 IPs.
  5. I like to use the letters as kind of a gradation. IMO is strongest, often near-certain, but I like to show how humble I am. I also use 'p' to indicate something that is more a personal opinion, rather than a researched opinion. And I am happy you picked up on the 'v'.
  6. I thought it was one " for each word?
  7. I think IKF gets all the RH IF ABs, even assuming they occasionally platoon Mayer. I think Romy becomes a platoon DH/emergency IF.
  8. IMHO, it starts with: Chapman Whitlock Weissert (no particular order) Slaten Kelly, probably Sandoval (at some point) Crawford ("") Moran or a prospect I could understand acquiring another RP, but I wouldn't go out of my way.
  9. They wouldn't get either guy straight-up, let alone another prospect. They might've overplayed their hand.
  10. I think our team is complete now. If Paredes came cheap, he'd be worth looking at. But I see no way of us constructing a Duran or Abreu for Paredes+ trade.
  11. The other off-speed pitches work well off of his FB. No one is going to be like Gooden.
  12. The dude is a rookie, he's not allowed to make that decision.
  13. He has to develop, but there was kind of a low-level Gooden vibe, imvho. The FB comes in strong, with the extension. It forces the batter to speed up his decision-making a fraction. That makes the off-speed stuff very difficult to hit.
  14. They didn't really try to make him into a super-utility. He only had 8 outfield starts, as opposed to 54 starts at 2nd. I think they thought his bat was ready, that they needed a 2B, and that most of his time in the minors was spent at 2nd. They were probably just shocked at how poorly he transitioned to the pros.
  15. I'm still okay with him, but it is worth noting he has a 4/0 K/W in 14 ST ABs. I think it would not be in our best interest to bring the kid up until we were close to certain he was not going back down again.
  16. He might not be a good player, but he might still be a great hitter.
  17. Well, since that is just what I posted, I agree with me.
  18. With the usual small sample disclaimer, at a level of 800 PAs from 2022-2024, Casas ranked #36 in wRC+, tied with Schwarber & Ketel Marte, and slightly higher than Bregman & Paredes.
  19. Over his first three seasons, Casas has a 126 OPS+. Over his past three seasons, Alonso has a 129 OPS+. Alonso is obviously a more 'sure-thing', but those numbers are very close.
  20. It was still 644 ABs. That's a pretty good sample size to suggest he could play.
  21. No chance I'd cut him. All it takes is one injury to any of our 4 outfielders to make Masa a decent DH. Eaton has 2 career HRs and a .610 OPS.
