    There are always players missing time, but that doesn't mean they are necessarily injury-prone.
  2. JoeBrady
    Reasonable point, but his home OPS is a fair amount higher than his road OPS this year (.721 v .599).
  3. JoeBrady
    1-Two months too early for this discussion. 2-Focus on the players that won't be here in 2027. That's Gray and Chapman. Everyone is either someone we will need in 2027, or someone that won't bring back more than a lottery ticket, even including when we eat salary.

    I'm not sure. Just from my accounting ledger, Paredes is say 1/2 further along by the time we trade for him. Only getting him for 1.5 years, plus his performance has been mediocre (.716 OPS/0.6 bWAR), I would think would lower his value. And if Houston thinks they are out of it, they will be more inclined to trade him. Someone outside of our top-4 prospects would be okay by me.
  5. JoeBrady
    I would trade for Paredes, but if they stay pat, I too would let Monasterio start at SS and keep Mayer at 2B.

    1-I know the timing wasn't the same, but for what Seattle paid for Naylor, we should've added him. He cost nothing. 2-That said, Devers isn't worth his salary. I would re-acquire him, but not for the $250M+ he is owed.
  7. JoeBrady
    I'm one of the few that would trade for Devers, if SF ate some money. That said, his 'real' May numbers are 3 HRs in 58 ABs with a 19/6 K/W. I still think he'll revert back to his career numbers, but 3 Hrs and a 19/6 are pretty weak.
  8. JoeBrady
    Not only no Gray & Contreras, but a chance of no Tolle & Early, unless the Snakes were in a very generous mood. Our rotation would be Crochet, Harrison, Bello, Moonslav and Joey.

    Guys like Marte seldom just disappear. But once a guy starts edging towards the age of 33, you always have to ask whether or not the decline is permanent, or just part of regular BB variance. Before the Angels signed Pujols, his OPS declined from 1.101 to 1.011 to .906. I asked Angels fans the same question. If .906 is his true number, and he is in decline, would you still want the contract. Mostly the answer implied that Pujols wouldn't get old.
  10. JoeBrady
    Wait! You expected return? I was shocked we could move his contract at all, let alone get Tibbs and Harrison.
  11. JoeBrady
    Fair enough/
  12. JoeBrady
    Good time to look for a 2B/3B whose slugging outweighs his glove deficiencies.

    The only mention of Harrison was that he was one of the 'peanuts' that we got back for Devers.
  15. JoeBrady
    I meant play multiple positions on a regular or even semi-regular basis.
  16. JoeBrady
    I'm not sure anyone ever comes into MLB with the idea that he was going to be a fulltime DH. There is always an attempt to start prospects at a regular position. There are a ton of players that come in without a glove and become proficient at their position.
  17. JoeBrady
    The answer is: 1-Sometimes players play thru injuries and do okay. This isn't magic where we know exactly what will happen with an injury. 2-We lack any elegant solutions. It's not like we were going to be much better off having Monasterio at SS. 3-If Story sat down, half the fans would've accused him of sitting down with a boo-boo.
  18. JoeBrady
    Why do you assume that trainers can just fix guys, or prevent injuries? Players get injured every year.
  19. JoeBrady
    How do you know he didn't put his hand up? Lots of guys, maybe even most guys, get nicked up occasionally. Most likely, the trainers and/or manager, and/or GM, ask if they can play. If the player says yes, on we go.
  20. JoeBrady
    I see very few teams change guys positions. There are always some fringy guys that get moved around, but that's their role. Most regulars have a position and they don't deviate.
  21. JoeBrady
    I understand childhood baseball trauma. But 20+ years of winning WSCs should've cured people of that.
  22. JoeBrady
    You cannot take Fred seriously. You just can't.
  23. JoeBrady
    1-There is no doubt that there are plenty of RS fans unhappy with our record. 2-There is no doubt that henry and the FO are aware of this. 3-There is no doubt that the FO gives 2 seconds of thought about what the average fan thinks are the best moves. Just think about all the suggestions we've seen in here. We would have Bregman, Alonso, Marte, and Bichette, instead of Durbin, Contreras, Suarez and Gray. We'd be on the hook for a billion $$$ worth of contracts and have a worse record than we do now. Now I have to go and send my SpaceX suggestions to Elon Musk.
  24. JoeBrady
    As you mentioned above, those are currently pretty bad contracts. If either of those guys were FAs, how much would you offer for them?
  25. JoeBrady
    Fred called the 2007 RS the biggest chokers in history. No one is going to take him seriously,
