    I'm curious what this is telling you?
  2. JoeBrady
    Watson is pitching well enough. He's not our best guy by any means, but he has a 3.31/3.86 ERA/FIP over his last 35.1 IPs, with a 32/11 K/W. We won't get by without using most of our BP. Fred's innumeracy not withstanding.
  3. JoeBrady
    I'm always troubled by these positions. When you play as well as we've been playing, I'd tell the players to not even change their socks, let alone change players. But my head says we need some adjustments. I just don't want to break up a good thing.
  4. JoeBrady
    I think I might make it my daily habit to remind people that other teams don't give up young stars with numerous years of control. That's more a fantasy baseball kind of thing.
  5. JoeBrady
    I think I might make it my daily habit to remind people that, if we are unwilling to give up any prospect that has any shot of making the pros, we will never make another trade. We can offer to trade one of our accountants for one of your regulars, but it is unlikely to work. The other team HAS to receive something of value.
  6. JoeBrady
    Their rotation after the trade was: Kershaw Snell Yamamoto Glasnow Sheehan Ohtani With 6 SPs, that leaves only room for 7 RPs, and there is a good chance they wouldn't want May for that role. But they had plenty of pitching. My guess is that it was a roster issue.
  7. JoeBrady
    Tibbs had one HR and 39 Ks in 116 ABs when we traded him. That's a lottery ticket.
  8. JoeBrady
    You can't always tell with injuries, but Story had a .741 last year, and a 4.1 bWAR. He's 33, but even 33 year old players generally do not lose all their ability in one year.
  9. JoeBrady
    That's what the TDL is usually comprised of. The biggest position trade last year was Naylor. Most trades look like O'Hearn or Bader, with teams trying to pick up one additional win at a very modest cost. And I don't think a single big name position player was in 2024. And the backlash from fans expecting Soto, Schwarber and Judge can safely be ignored.
  10. JoeBrady
    This is what I hate about the 20/20 trade reviews. No team in baseball is ever going to get a player unless they give up a player that might make the pros. Last year, Tibbs projected to 5 HRs and 200 Ks in AA. We have to give up guys like that. It doesn't matter if they do well later. If not, we might as well not pick up the phone.
  11. JoeBrady
    It should be noted that SF had already given up on him, and that he was one of the worst players in AA when we traded him.
  12. JoeBrady
    Most TDL trades don't require top prospects. I think a lot of folks look at the top-100 list, but it is kind of arbitrary. Two top-125 guys are probably a good bit more valuable than the #100 prospect.
  13. JoeBrady
    You can get modest upgrades for modest prices. Ward shouldn't cost much, and would be a solid upgrade over Duran, currently. And has been pounding LH pitching the past few years. Arraez would be a very good upgrade at 2B. He'll cost more, but not a premium prospect. Steer should be good, multi-position ability, and not cost a premium prospect.
  14. JoeBrady
    Does anyone have access to the BA ranking for the three guys we just signed?
  15. JoeBrady
    I have plenty of names I'd like to see. I have very few names that I want to grossly overpay for. I wanted Burns, Chandler or Seth Hernandez pre-season, but with the recognition that they weren't being traded unless we gave up half the farm, and maybe not even then. That's just a fact of life.
  16. JoeBrady
    When Torre was managing, he bite off chunks of improvement. Like, 'we got to .500, so let's try to get to 5 games over .500'. Seems to have worked.
  17. JoeBrady
    Same here. I've liked Breslow's previous drafts, but this seemed a bit meh. But the dollars are starting to make sense. FWIW, ESPN had those three guys ranked #51, #57, and #80. If this was FB, that trade-off would be profitable.
  18. JoeBrady
    Wells, Diaz and Miranda-was probably hoping to get out of the inning without Caminero coming up as the tying run.
  19. JoeBrady
    I'd bet that there is a good market for him, but I doubt he gets traded.
  20. JoeBrady
    He probably doesn't mention him at all. Basically: "If you even mention Mayer's name, I am hanging up on you. But just for chuckles, what did you have in mind?"
  21. JoeBrady
    100%. No disrespect for Gray, but I was very happy that they didn't select him.
  22. JoeBrady
    I don't count back door selections. Miso is the best right now, but Wheeler is clearly 2nd.
  23. JoeBrady
    Wheeler is 10-1 with a 2.13 Sanchez was 8-2 with a 2.50 at the break last year, and finished 2nd in the CY.
  24. JoeBrady
    I remember someone saying that Lester was a #5 SP before he went to the Cubs. Does that qualify as long shelf life?
  25. JoeBrady
    I was looking at his BR page, and it is lit up with bold numbers. Leads MLB in hits, HRs, RBIs, OBP, SLG, OPS, OPS+, rOBA, Rbat+, and TB. He's certainly worth a considerable package.
