    I'm not sure we will see much more activity. RP is possible, but our first 7 is pretty good. I'm not sure Breslow will trade a good prospect to make a good BP better. SP is possible, but the fit is tough. Our rotation will continue to be Gray, Suarez, Tolle, Bennett, and Sandoval, with Bello filling in as a bulk RP. Trading for an SP, so we can replace the innings-restricted kids, won't work unless they get regular work. Even if we were going to a 6-man rotation, I think the #6 would be Bello in a 2nd inning role. SS is a fit issue. I doubt we obtain a long-term solution, since Arias is likely to be up in 2027. And a one-year solution might not provide much of an upgrade over Story, IKF, Monasterio & Seigler. A RH LF platoon would be a positive, but we might want to look at Jones a bit longer.

    Right now, he's like a 12-13 HR guy. Guys generally get bigger and stronger. And his minor league numbers suggest he will hit with moderate+ power.

    I don't see the end game for that strategy. It depends on about another week of numbers, but we might be finished. Just imvho: I don't expect a change at catcher, since we don't want to screw up the pitching. The only question mark I see in the BP is Gamboa. But how much resources would you want to invest in upgrading your #8? Maybe a RH LF, but contrary to popular opinion, Duran is playing better, and Jones has done okay (SSS). There is talk about adding another SP, but that only works if you have a slot open. We have 5-6 SPs, and I wouldn't sit any one of them. At SS, I think our intention is to go with Mead, Durbin, and Arias for the next 4-5-6 years. I see no reason to change that approach. I don't think Monasterio is hurting us at SS, and we will have Story and IKF back at some point if Monasterio stumbles.

    I had my questions. He seemed like a high-floor, medium ceiling type. I was figuring 18 HRs, .275, maybe 20 HRs, with a GG-level glove at 3rd. He still kind of looks like that.
  5. JoeBrady
    I suppose that the bright side to that is that we are becoming more popular.

    I do not expect to stop it. But I like to explain the virtue of patience. As well as looking at peripheral stats to divine whether or not the back of the baseball card stats are indicative of how a player is doing.
  7. JoeBrady
    I agree. Maybe a discussion in the off-season, but our catching is just okay enough that I wouldn't want to screw up the pitching.

    Down to 4.5 games. They'll get better when they get healthier, but it is nice closing the gap. We've also now caught TB in the Py W/L.

    When the Devers trades was made, some posters (and no small amount) said we got peanuts in return. Harrison was one of those 'peanuts'. The day he got traded to Mil, some posters couldn't believe we traded him for nothing. This happens all the time in the RSN. If Mead starts off 0-4, and Early wins his first game, it is almost guaranteed posters will say that Breslow got robbed.

    I commented to what you said: It’s kind of what’s current, and matters at the moment. I thought that discussing the guys actually currently on the team qualified as 'current'. The fact is, whether or not you want to admit it, quite a few of our prospects have worked out well. Just not 100%.
  11. JoeBrady
    I was being serious. I saw the thread and hadn't noticed it before. So I thought some Red Sox fans were nominating Breslow for Executive of the Year award. I thought it was a bit premature, but I wanted to see the comments about his off-season acquisitions, and they didn't sound so positive.
  12. JoeBrady
    Always interesting to see comments from about 1-2 months back.
  13. JoeBrady
    If we're going to sign him as a FA for 10 years, at age 31, why do we need to trade the farm for him?
  14. JoeBrady
    I prefer the example of Harrison. How could we trade Devers for peanuts? How could we trade Harrison for peanuts?
  15. JoeBrady
    Do they have to have the expectations of Anthony? I count 8 guys on the team that came up as prospects and have done very well.
  16. JoeBrady
    Probably not, but the concept included significant payroll relief by the Mets.
  17. JoeBrady
    Go to the 26 man roster and let me know who made it and who didn't.
  18. JoeBrady
    Nice game. Getting the good Suarez back is important. Duran kind of continues to hit. Strong move to PH Joes for Yoshida. Once again, a nice job by the BP, without having to waste Chapman and Whitlock.
  19. JoeBrady
    Go to the current 40-man roster and let me know who made it and who didn't.
  20. JoeBrady
    I liked the Lindor idea, but with the addition of Mead, I think that's dead. Either Story returns to form next year, or Arias takes over in May. No room for any SS addition now.
  21. JoeBrady
    That's only if they choose to ignore the prospects that have succeeded. I'll often just shake my head and move on.
  22. JoeBrady
    It doesn't pay to pay attention to all the ramblings. People will create constructs to fit their narratives.

    In his last 28 days, because that's how B-R does it, KC has a .983 OPS with 2 HRs, a 2/0 SB/CS, with a 12/12 K/W in 46 ABs. That includes a high .382 BABIP.
  24. JoeBrady
    We have a pretty smart crowd in here, because apparently, no one liked Bregman.
  25. JoeBrady
    Just so I understand, our resident experts have determined that Anthony is: Anthony is injury-prone Anthony and Mayer are out partying instead of re-habbing. Anthony has a low pain tolerence. Can't wait for Monday's diagnosis.
