  1. We have a pretty smart crowd in here, because apparently, no one liked Bregman.
  2. 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.
  3. The original comment was about Breslow being reluctant to deal top prospects. Since he has already traded away top prospects, then I feel comfortable saying he is NOT reluctant to trade away top prospects. If the proof is in the pudding, and you actually have the pudding, then you also have the proof.
  4. 'Huge pieces' are purple unicorns. No one is sure if they exist.
  5. Hence my point bout paying no attention to the rumors. Did any of these writers nail the Mead/Early trade?
  6. Based on his off-season, I think he has the best interpersonal skills in BB.
  7. He's more like a 3-hit wonder, since he was good in 2023, 2024, and 2025. In approximately the same number of PAs, Duran and Tatis have almost an identical fWAR over those three years.
  8. These are two super-small sample sizes, but both Bello and KC are performing well as of late.
  9. You don't need to have a SS strike fear into the other team. If we had IKF performing the way he had been, we wouldn't even be discussing SS.
  10. IMVHO, the best bet is to allow Bello to continue his bulk relief assignments. We need innings. Bello has been beyond awesome in relief with a 0.77 ERA and an 8/1 K/W. IF this continues, some team will make a real off in the off-season, assuming they can switch on the usual SP role.
  11. Every team has 'carrousels', and usually multiple carrousels. Sometimes it is best to deal with your demons as they escape.
  12. Four years of Witt for almost our entire minor league system?
  13. To this day, I don't have the foggiest idea what that means. I hope you don't think free agents are guaranteed to succeed. Nothing in life is guaranteed.
  14. Good news. He's not a skinny kid, so I'll be interested in actually seeing. But I definitely prefer leaving Durbin at 3B
  15. He has 320 innings at 2B and 840 at 3B. I assume that some of that was related to the Nats having Garcia at 2nd, and House struggling in his debut.
  16. I've been posting this since I invented the internet. GMs are not calling writers to tell them what's going on. I think about half the rumors are started by writers. Half are started by fans making suggestions that get built up on the net. The other 10% are mis-direction by GMs to their favored writers. If Breslow was 5 minutes away from landing soto, even the FO wouldn't know it.
  17. Or maybe he saw a good young 3B with lots of control. Durbin is basically what his balance sheet says he is.
  18. My perspective is just to make good, value-added trades. If we can get Ward or Adell, for little cost, go for it. OTOH, if we can get a major talent for Mayer, Witherspoon, and Eyanson, I'd go for that also. I don't really see a compelling reason to go all-in or all-out.
  19. My reputation at work was always to be quiet and analytical. If someone gets something wrong, it is a teaching moment. But sometimes I curse. Often enough, I am not even angry when I curse. But sometimes there needs to be a memorable moment. Something to get someone's attention. Something for them to remember.
  20. I kind of skipped over that. I do seem to recall Breslow giving up several top prospects for Crochet.
  21. Having seen some of the comments from the Angels fans in MLB-R, many are not fond of his fielding.
  22. A half game out of the playoffs so I doubt Pitt is selling.
