    The RS compared to the rest of league by position: Split sOPS+ as C 87 as 1B 129 as 2B 82 as 3B 97 as SS 71 as LF 80 as CF 105 as RF 108 as DH 75

    The issue with those two guys, and many others mentioned, is that they are lefty. And every discussion in the off-season revolved around acquiring RH bats.
  3. JoeBrady
    I seriously doubt he goes anywhere with a big overpayment.
  4. JoeBrady
    There were two Laws and both of them were pretty far out there. He must have been up half the night typing sometimes. I'd log in and see page after page of 500-1000 word rants.

    My philosophy has always been that, unless you are a strong contender, or a bad team, you judge every trade on its own merits. A bit like the Vazquez trade where we weren't in a position to buy or sell.
  6. JoeBrady
    I don't see trading away a setup guy, even an elite setup, as signaling anything. I'd prefer to wait, but if someone gives you an offer you can't refuse, you make the move and figure it out later.

    I love Whitlock, and this ain't happening, but if Seattle did want to do that, I'd drive Whitlock to Seattle tomorrow.

    We stink because: Story with his .547, then injured Narvaez with his .526 RA with his .675, then injured Mayer with his .594 Crochet with his 6.30, then injured Bello with his 6.34 There really isn't a lot that could've been done to fix that. Except for Mayer, we weren't acquiring anyone to replace any of those players.

    Contreras.
  10. JoeBrady
    Contreras.
  11. JoeBrady
    Okay, so we'd have had a minor downgrade at both SP and 1B?
  12. JoeBrady
    Depending on Story's health is a legit concern, but that's why we acquired IKF. But Story with a .547 is very difficult to project. Yoshi's .696 is weak, but not a major concern.
  13. JoeBrady
    This is the only criticism I agree with, and quite frankly, I think everyone agreed with. Maybe some of this is 20/20 hindsight, but it really looked like a BP of Chapman & Whitlock, which is great, and a bunch of 5/6/7th inning guys, but no strong hold guys. OTOH, the fact that we are 3rd in ERA and 6th in OPSa suggests he might have been right. But I still want another RP.
  14. JoeBrady
    And since Schwarber re-signed with the Phillies, as everyone expected, there was precious little he could've done.
  15. JoeBrady
    Everyone in here has access to the RS FO except you and me.
  16. JoeBrady
    It wasn't a complicated question. Breslow made 5 major moves (Gray, Suarez, Bennett, Contreras, Durbin). Explain which ones you don't like.
  17. JoeBrady
    When I was a kid, the ASG was one of the highlights of the season. Now I don't even watch it. Leaving Sanchez off the team last year was beyond ridiculous. It's turned into the NFL AP game.
  18. JoeBrady
    I agree. I normally pay almost no attention to late-bloomers, but the guy was a 1st rounder. After the two losses to the Nats, I'm not sure there is much downside (or choice) to giving him another month or two.
  19. JoeBrady
    So the big bats were Bregman's 7 HRs instead of Durbin's 7 HRs, Bichette's .678 OPS, and Alonso's 1.9 bWAR instead of Contreras' 3.2 bWAR?
  20. JoeBrady
    1-So you agreed with all his moves. 2-By 'big bat', do mean Bregman's 7 HRs instead of Durbin's 7 HRs? Or more like Bichette's .678 OPS?
  21. JoeBrady
    I had that in the back of my mind. If you're watching his innings, this is as good a time as any to sit him for two weeks. And you have two days off between now and the AS break. It might make some sense to juggle the rotation to give Tolle and/or Bennett a day off.
  22. JoeBrady
    This is the one thing that this site had ample agreement on.
  23. JoeBrady
    I hold very few things more important than BB, but when someone calls you 'boy', they have to get their a$$ kicked. And if you think it's being orchestrated, and not just a heat of the battle thing, then you retaliate. You might be able to get Contreras tossed from the game, but I can send your best hitter home with sore ribs. And I would do it every, single time, until the BS stopped.
  24. JoeBrady
    A lot of dudes standing between him and Cavalli, while Cavalli stood there egging him on, but not putting much effort into getting any closer to Contreras. I think you should cut him a break. He should've beaten the crap out of him, but he's otherwise had a very good season.
  25. JoeBrady
    Meh, I am not a big believer in 'incumbency'. I had no problem with giving Devers 3-4 years to prove himself at 3B, or at least improve, but he never did. And he didn't inspire me with his conditioning. He lost the job fair and square.
