    Being baseball, there are a ton of stats that you could push either way. But I've never seen anyone with a 10/15 K/W succeed long-term. And a 0/7 in his last few games is crazy bad. TBH, I expect the RS to land something for him, as some BPs are really bad. But I'd bet Watson has more value over the remainder of the season.

    DC' FB% in 2026 is 24.3%, which is higher than his career 21.8%, and higher than the league average. His HR/FB of 3.8% is likely unsustainably low.
  3. JoeBrady
    That's what I mentioned in one of my previous E-mails-$50M.
  4. JoeBrady
    I hate when RS players join the Derby.
  5. JoeBrady
    Per FG, he had a 6.18 xFIP. At a level of 20 IPs, he was #242 out of 242 in K-BB%.
  6. JoeBrady
    Why would the RS want to pay Lindor $170M for seasons 33-37?
  7. JoeBrady
    I wouldn't give them anything. I'd want the Mets to give me $50M, minimum. Probably more. He'll be 33 in November. No thanks to paying him $34M at ages 35-36-37.
  8. JoeBrady
    Why? Lots of players get started late because their original teams had no spot for them, particularly RPs.

    https://talksox.com/forums/topic/90850-red-sox-front-office-did-something-right-they-got-rid-of-devers/?do=getNewComment Just in case someone wants to discuss the Devers issue in the Devers thread.
  10. JoeBrady
    I'm open to Bichette, at a substantial discount, but it might be too costly, and complicated. Just like with Bogaerts, Devers, and some non-RS players, the GM looks like a dunce if he has to eat $100M on a deal he just signed. And he might be a head case which we can't fix.
  11. JoeBrady
    That's the difference between me and the rest of y'all. You guys are wrong 50% of time. I, OTOH, am right 50% of the time.
  12. JoeBrady
    Those are YTD numbers. Since he is a rookie, here is some merit to weighing his recent results more heavily. The numbers are much better more recently, and 51.2 IPs is not a small sample size.
  13. JoeBrady
    And since everyone in here talks to Breslow on a regular basis, we'll know if you're being truthful.
  14. JoeBrady
    I think by now that everyone takes it for granted that teams move money around. There is no reason to be loud or quiet.
  15. JoeBrady
    Kind of an amateur opinion on my part, but I think Breslow places more value on certain traits (extension for example) than other GMs.
  16. JoeBrady
    It has to be Bichette. Lindor has $170M due until age 37. That's likely to be a nightmare. Bichette has a very difficult contract, but we might get salary relief based on him being way over-market, and the relief can be based on whether or not he opts-in or opts-out. And just for funnsies, since Bichette's position should be 2B in 2027, that would make Mayer expendable. I think adding a good prospect might get us a whole lot of payroll relief.

    Everyone is a realist. They just have opposite thoughts on what 'realistic' means.
  18. JoeBrady
    I thought Fred was in the all-in camp this week?
  19. JoeBrady
    I mostly agree. I'd like to see some more visibility on #3, before I commit big resources. I like the idea of Ward. He's a pure rental, but that will be reflected in his price. And I'm guessing that BA would be easier to deal with than LAA. The negative is that Ward is a really good fit for Philly. Maybe make BA a solid offer before DD gets committed.
  20. JoeBrady
    They had a big luck factor last year, and Springer became 36. And Vlad seems to save up all his hitting for the playoffs.
  21. JoeBrady
    A lot of times, I give genius points when I think to myself 'what made anyone think this was a good idea?'. And 50 years later, we will be looking forward to hearing it. That's genius!
  22. JoeBrady
    That's always one of those underlying factors that get overlooked. Not to get too Machiavellian, but some of these RPs are there to be abused. Watson has 13 appearances of 2 or more IPs, with respectable results. And if he gets worn out, it's not a large cost relative to some of our young SPs.
  23. JoeBrady
    Shades of Mortimer & Randolph Duke (2 of the greatest casting decisions ever) screaming "I want trading reopened right now. Get those brokers back in here! Turn those machines back on!"
  24. JoeBrady
    That's why I usually sign in after the game is over. I'd prefer to talk BB during the game, and not listen to people losing their $chitt when the lead-off hitter gets to a 1-2 count. I don't mind the complaints about a pitch challenge on the first pitch of the game, but the pitch-by-pitch criticisms are a bit too much.
  25. JoeBrady
    It's always the same. Last week, we had no chance. Now he wants Mulligan so that he can later say that he was right that we should've tanked, or that he was right that we should've gone all-in.
