    Disclosure-I'm worst at 2nd, if only because I will miss slamdunk plays. At least at SS, you can say 'well, that was a tough play'.
  2. JoeBrady
    Just imho, everything in life is a projection. The line I addressed was "Do the projections earn them anything going into the season?" Maybe I just don't understand his intent, but every team in the world goes into the season with projections. Just because they won't be 100% accurate is kind of meaningless. Honestly, are reading something into that line that I'm not seeing?
  3. JoeBrady
    Only 11 teams have signed someone from the MLBR top-50. 3 others have had their QO accepted.
  4. JoeBrady
    I definitely, 100% thought it was Aroldis.
  5. JoeBrady
    If you don't care about projects, then I am willing to play SS for $1M, which leaves you a ton of money to spend elsewhere. Full disclosure-I can't catch a groundball, but as long as we aren't projecting anything...
  6. JoeBrady
    He played 150 & 152 before he got injured.
  7. JoeBrady
    A lot of questionable contracts in those two groups. Even among the contracts I consider good, there is a pretty decent chance that several will go south.
  8. JoeBrady
    My guess is that, if we trade Mayer for Marte, for example, then we're going all-in. You wouldn't make that trade otherwise.

    I'd love to build something around Duran-Tong. I've mentioned this before, but Tong/Vientos gives a high-ceiling SP and a guy that can platoon with Casas, Mayer and Yoshida, and is likely a starter at some point.
  10. JoeBrady
    That's fair, but the same with almost any deal. The more years you are trading away, the larger upfront premium you have to expect. I don't think Polanco will out-perform Mayer over two years, let alone over 6 years. With Marte, you might get an added 5-6 WAR over the next two years. That's a pretty good down-payment, even if you lose later in the deal.
  11. JoeBrady
    FG has Mayer and Polanco as about even this year, so I assume they would rate Mayer better than Polanco over two years. Mayer's 6 years v Polanco's 2 years is not close, imo.
  12. JoeBrady
    Minor league deals are almost impossible to analyze. Even for well-known prospects with a lot of visibility and coverage, the range is outcomes is huge.
  13. JoeBrady
    If healthy, Kim is a very good at $20M. From 2021-24, Kim averaged a 4.5 bWAR/162 games.
  14. JoeBrady
    I think either one of your two recent posts will work. I think Duran is an overpay, but close enough that the Reds can kick in a semi-prospect.
  15. JoeBrady
    It's why I sometimes prefer to have someone that had the TJS and has put it behind him, like Alcantara. Alcantara looks good recently, and is unlikely to require a follow-up procedure in the next two years. A guy like Ryan finished awful. 6.47/5.85 with 10 HRs in his last 32 IPs.
  16. JoeBrady
    He almost has to be injured. Some his game logs are sick, and about as impressive as Crochet was when we got him. 4/2-4/43 ---31/2 K/W and 1 HR in 18.2 IPs 5/5-5/16 ---26/4 K/W and -0- HRs in 15 9/23-9/28 ---18/2 K/W and 1 HR in 9.1 Those numbers define the term 'unhittable'.
  17. JoeBrady
    I think you're high on Bregman. My guess is that he falls to an affordable $150M/6 with a no-trade and an opt-out after Year 3. Tie that into your previous post about Marte, add the #2 for Duran, and we are the best team in BB. I'd be interested in Ranger at that price, though I am curious why DD is not chasing him. As mentioned earlier, Okamoto for $70M/4 is good, but didn't Grisham accept the QO?
  18. JoeBrady
    I probably wouldn't do it, but it is real close. But that's more of a personal preference than my BB opinion. And if we added a #2 in a trade, I would take them even over any team in the AL.
  19. JoeBrady
    Which is the crux of several of my posts. It's entirely possible that you and Fred could be right on Alonso. But if RS sign a slugger like Suarez instead a glove-first player like Kim, I'm not going to call the RS a garbage organization. There is always the unlikely chance that Breslow knows more about baseball than I do.
  20. JoeBrady
    IMHO, too much for Ryan. If I were to give up Duran, Crawford & Sandlin (which I would), I'd go straight for Painter. After a huge physical.
  21. JoeBrady
    I see that a lot in fan reaction. They accuse the owner of being cheap. And while that could be true, as often as not, the team's record has more to do with mis-management. Teams like LAA, the WS, the Rox, the Nats, etc., haven't traditionally been cheap. They just been poorly run. And as a result of being poorly run, have no one on the roster worthy of a big salary. There's kind of a circularity about the process.
  22. JoeBrady
    We could make a simple deal. If Henry does nothing else, I will agree that it is a bad off-season. If he adds one more big piece, it is neutral. And if he adds 2 more big pieces, it is a good off-season. Anyone interested?
  23. JoeBrady
    Well, that is exactly why I posted the number. I understand and agree that henry should spend commensurate with his revenue. But some will call him cheap no matter how much he spends. And not because he isn't spending, but because he isn't spending on the player(s) that that particular poster wants. Acquiring Okamoto, Kim, and Greene would make this one of the best off-seasons in BB history, and some posters will still complain.
  24. JoeBrady
    I love Moon too, but he said that adding only the #2 FA + Gray was awful. Almost every team would be pretty happy with that. And he is by no means the most entitled.
  25. JoeBrady
    I'd love to see the medicals on Ragans. I like Duran a lot and think he would do very, very well for KC. But Ragans has a 2.79 FIP for KC in maybe 319 innings. It's almost impossible for me to think they would trade him for anything less than a star. Unless they anticipate major arm problems.
