    I think it is safe to say, at least thru today, this was a terrific move by the RS.
  2. JoeBrady
    Or, and I could be wrong, IMVHO, Devers always showed a lot of potential at 3rd. I've seen him make plays that half the league wouldn't get to, only to botch a routine play. I'm guessing that, at least for the first few years, the FO hoped for more consistency, and/or better conditioning.
  3. JoeBrady
    What moves did you disagree with?
  4. JoeBrady
    It's is kind of a big deal. At the TDL, it would've made more sense to value Duran closer to his 9.0 bWAR. By the end of the season, even a 4.9 would seem slightly optimistic. But I don't really believe Passan anyway.
  5. JoeBrady
    I saw someone hit a hard one-hopped past him that he never reacted to. I've never seen that. It was like he never even saw the ball.
  6. JoeBrady
    That's not indecision, because swings aren't really a conscious decision. It's not like he is deciding between two different entrees.
  7. JoeBrady
    No doubt it's gone down. But I only consider values at the time trades were being discussed.
  8. JoeBrady
    Where was this confirmed?
  9. JoeBrady
    Fred hated Theo with a passion, and most of the world will acknowledge that Theo was the best GM in the history of baseball.
  10. JoeBrady
    I know that Cavalli can be tough, but Narvaez struck out on a pitch that was going to hit him in the face. Contreras struck out on three pitches outside the strike zone, and Abreu just K'd on a pitch where the catcher had to throw him out at 1st.
  11. JoeBrady
    No. I think they will ask for Tolle, and that is certainly understandable.
  12. JoeBrady
    You understand correctly. Here is my philosophy: Every time we win a game, my asking price for tanking goes up. Every time we lose a game, my tanking price goes down. Theoretically, almost every contending team has such a number in mind. It might also affect how deep in the pool you want to dive. Today, I'd be happy with another 'okay bat'. But if we take 12 of the next 18, I might be looking to move some serious prospects. Or if we win 12-18, and Crochet is coming back on 8/1, I'd be even more aggressive. A little bit of the butterfly affect.
  13. JoeBrady
    I agree with that. Devers only saving grace at 3B is that he is surprisingly athletic for someone in his condition. I thought he'd be a disaster at 1st. And while it is not a cardinal rule for me, my solution to the need for a 1B would be to get a 1B. Passing on Naylor, imo, was really bad.
  14. JoeBrady
    That's part of keeping Duran. IMO, he is and probably will be a better DH than Yoshida. But he also provides really good insurance had any of the three regular OFs gotten hurt.
  15. JoeBrady
    Same as in real life. I am usually a collaborative type of guy. But sometimes a yes/no is a better answer than 'what do you think?'. Like I said, I understand Devers position, even if I would've just grabbed the 1B mitt. But that doesn't mean that Breslow made a bad call.
  16. JoeBrady
    1-No one, including you, thought that we should trade Duran straight up for Paredes. I believe that you also want King or Abreu, plus their minor league catcher. 2-And my understanding is that they wanted Abreu instead of Duran.
  17. JoeBrady
    It is not the player. It is the idea that someone will make a definitive call on someone after two ST ABs. That's just trolling.
  18. JoeBrady
    I don't quite believe that. We've done well, but that could also be a small sample size.
  19. JoeBrady
    Williams is too erratic. We don't need the pitching version of Duran. Peralta should be better than he is showing. Bichette will likely should revert back a little, but he still has a 27/3 K/W this month. And if he doesn't revert, then we are stuck with a very bad contract the next two years.
  20. JoeBrady
    No, but it's the type of deal which would push me into sell mode. But not happening. Tolle maybe.
  21. JoeBrady
    1-I don't think we know what Duran is worth. Players go up and down all the time. 2-How many people predicted the season he is having? 3-Even if people were inclined to write off Duran completely, he'd still be having a great off-season. Every team in BB has a player that is under-performing. They don't get fired for it.
  22. JoeBrady
    Over the last three tracking periods by B-Ref: Over the past 28 days, our OPS ranked #23. Over the past 14 days, our OPS ranked #18. Over the past 7 days, our OPS ranked #7. Small sample sizes, and I think we need a bat, but directionally positive. And Cavalli is tough.
  23. JoeBrady
    A bad record is fair game for everyone, but I prefer some intellect to the comments. Arguing for or against Duran/Paredes is interesting. Dismissing Ceddanne after two spring training ABs is someone begging to not be taken seriously.
  24. JoeBrady
    I can't keep up with school terminology. I asked someone that teaches in special ed, and even they didn't know what this year's words are. And it'll change next year anyway.
  25. JoeBrady
    Most of my posts have been about adding a hitter, and with good reason. But I think we also need an RP. Getting Weaver from the NYM would be a good add.
