    My recollection is that he had a wrist injury that never quite recovered. Those are a death knell to sluggers.

    No reason not to. For some reason (not necessarily you) RS fans think that signing players until they are 35-36-37 is good business. But acquiring a player whose contract expires prior to that age is not.
  3. JoeBrady
    That's the whole thing. Without knowing how much SF is willing to pay down, it's impossible to assess the chances of a trade. His 8 HRs in his past 24 games suggest that he should continue to hit at his historical rate. Paying the dude to age 35 is an issue, but that's what SF has to deal with.

    Looking? No. But they know, for certain, they are eating salary. And they know that everyone else knows this.

    With the exception of a dwindling number of RS fans, Devers is considered very difficult to move. From Dayn Perry-Verdict: Very difficult to move

    According to BR, his career OPS is .709 and career .714 with RISP. But it does seem like he always got more RBIs from the 9-slot than seemed possible.

    The alternative was to do nothing until Eovaldi made a decision? Try that on a job interview-"thank you for the offer. I will shop your offer around to see if anyone will beat it and get back to you in a few months"

    Y'all couldn't wait to get rid of Harrison and Drohan, and others, because of a couple of bad starts.

    100% spot on. You have maybe 6-7 teams that blow past the cap and probably don't want to be restrained. You have maybe 12 teams so far away from the cap that they don't know what the number is. Out of the remaining 10-11 teams, some are getting supported by the penalties from the big guys. In addition, one could make the argument that competitiveness is not necessarily good for the financials. When I looked at the WS ratings two years ago, we might be doing as well in Japan as we do. IMHO, it is a boogeyman on both sides. The owners would rather go bankrupt then not get a cap, but will gladly settle for 1% more of the revenue. The union bosses will take 1% less so they can go back to the players and brag about not not having a cap like the (much richer) NFL players.

    Not exactly a gym rat. I always thought that attributed to Vazquez' offensive decline. He just lost the rotational athletic skills.
  11. JoeBrady
    I have. But I don't have anyone suggested that Manny should be with the RS.
  12. JoeBrady
    A couple of days ago, I watched Monsasterio swing at a 3-2 in the 8th with a guy on base and -0- outs. The pitch bounced at least 1-2 inches before the plate. Not remotely close. Do we need practice recognizing balls and strikes?
  13. JoeBrady
    I doubt you get anything. Some players have more value for us than someone else.
  14. JoeBrady
    That's why I gave up my Yankee tickets. I had them for the RS games, and would sell most of the rest. But the Sunday night games would start at 8:00, and last a solid four hours. Good luck catching the subway and bus at midnight. Now it is a more reasonable 2.5 hours. Thank god for Manfred.

    I always assumed we'd sign Alonso. But Contreras is currently better.
  16. JoeBrady
    But Bryant has a .888 OPS at Wrigley. So if the Cubs re-acquired him, he'd be one of the best players in baseball.
  17. JoeBrady
    You can only work with the real numbers. Every contract is 'okay' if we get to decide what the players will accept. I can see this one sliding sideways like Devers offense. If only Devers continued to play in Fenway, and if only we could've talked Bogarts and Devers into a contract half the size of what they actually received.
  18. JoeBrady
    Welcome to Talksox stranger. 0-4 by a RS player, and his career is over.
  19. JoeBrady
    I was high-fiving the fact that we got Contreras instead of Alonso.
  20. JoeBrady
    1 HR per every 20 ABs is plenty of hitting for a catcher.
  21. JoeBrady
    Murphy has a 3.7 bWAR in the the two previous seasons. IMO, he'd be a very good pickup, despite his 14 ABs this year.
  22. JoeBrady
    Password has a .472 OPS. Tibbs looks like a 200-K guy. Way too early to be declaring victory.
  23. JoeBrady
    If the deal is to use GPS, or not use GPS, I am 100% all-in for GPS.
  24. JoeBrady
    I'd be shocked if there was no 2027 season. And I wouldn't surprised if the owners aren't particularly interested in a cap. It's all about % of revenue, and there are always ways around that.
  25. JoeBrady
    They never should've tried to convert him from being a bulk reliever during the regular season.
