    I see no evidence of that. Adames has had a consistent 3.5 bWAR over the past four years, and is in line for another 3.5. EV and FB% in line with career norms. A slow start, but has hit well over the past 2 weeks.

    The biggest impediment is having Posey admit it. No GM wants to eat money on contracts he just signed. But a good executive will recognize a bad situation and move to rectify it, even if it means a little embarrassment.

    Most RS fans were upset when we picked him up.
  4. JoeBrady
    The idea is more along the lines of figuring out what you would sign Adames for if he were a FA today. He has 3.5 decent seasons left, so ideally maybe you'd give him $135M/6. SF would have to absorb $30M or thereabouts. You won't like the contract in 3 years, but you have to weigh that against not liking our roster for the next 2-3 years.

    A couple of days ago, fans were clamoring for the heads of Duran and IKF. Boston is the place where SSS were invented.
  6. JoeBrady
    No one is suggesting trading real prospects for him. The most SF would get is some salary relief.
  7. JoeBrady
    It's a good stat if someone says "NOman Anthony hasn’t hit much of anything, and did not live up to all his hype, and expectations so far"

    I think the need for another BP arm was one of the few issues most of us agreed on.
  9. JoeBrady
    I don't think the owners have any real interest in a cap/floor. The union asked for 100% raise, so the owners float an idea of a cap/floor, and look like the reasonable party.
  10. JoeBrady
    My point being that, if a player can go from being bad to being great, this quickly, then we probably aren't using a big enough sample size.
  11. JoeBrady
    I agree. You can't go on a run without winning a few games by 4-5 runs. Every game 3 runs or under requires Slaten/Whitlock/Chapman.
  12. JoeBrady
    Ahhh, the Devers heist.
  13. JoeBrady
    Duran has been one of the best players in BB this month.
  14. JoeBrady
    If one were to ask every girl in the country if their SO listened to them, would any guy get a positive? And if that is the case, is not listening then a negative, or just an unfixable flaw? Or just an informal survey, has anyone in here NOT been told they don't listen?
  15. JoeBrady
    Anthony's career bWAR per 162 games is 6.5.
  16. JoeBrady
    I'm cool that that. ed-You know what I'd be cool with? Not rolling over. If we get up 2-0, then down 6-2, I'd like to see us tie it once in a while, even if we lose.
  17. JoeBrady
    The 6 bottom teams include BA, the RS, Detroit, and Houston. I think all four are trying. But I do believe that BB needs a floor and cap.
  18. JoeBrady
    I don't get that. I'm pretty sure 28 teams won't be playing for a championship.
  19. JoeBrady
    Of course they care about the present value. I can offer Mookie a billion $$$ to teach me how to hit, but I can only afford $100/year for the next 10 million years.
  20. JoeBrady
    They are all mirages. There are generally only two types of players. Good affordable players that teams want to keep. And overpaid, underperforming players that teams want to get rid of.
  21. JoeBrady
    I guess the real question, is she wrong?
  22. JoeBrady
    There is no chance that SF makes that trade, so it is for discussion purposes only.
  23. JoeBrady
    Chapman would've been a great signing 3 years ago. That's when we could've had the Devers conversation. A move to DH would've precluded Yoshida. But such is life. Past that, we won't get any elegant solutions. You have to give up something regardless. Even if a real good 27 year old was available, they would still want a contract taking them to age 35 and beyond. You have to pick your poison. That said, I am glad that opinions are starting to turn against acquiring aging players. Just 4 weeks ago, there were a lot of people that were adamant that we needed to acquire Bregman (32), Suarez (34+), Alonso (31+). Marte (32+).
  24. JoeBrady
    Without going into the calculations, I figure that Adames + Chapman cost us $230.8M, and I would expect another 30.1 bWAR for their remaining 10.33 seasons, collectively. But more importantly, they are a near-perfect fit. Their projected .743 & .718 are tons better than what we currently have.
  25. JoeBrady
    I'm not sure anyone is 'yearning' for him. I've seen suggestions that we acquire him him and Adames, but in exchange, SF has to pick up salaries of Story and Yoshida.
