    That's a made-up thing. I've heard some folks say the same for Bregman. Kind of a justification for criticizing not keeping them. All we know is that Devers has 3 HRs and a 52/15 K/Win 152 road ABs. That's pretty bad. Next up will be people suggesting that he'd have hit better on the road had he stayed with the RS.
  2. JoeBrady
    They brought in Arenado. I think if they had plans to play Lawler at 3rd, they'd have done so instead of trading for Arenado.
  3. JoeBrady
    I haven't read any articles on Chapman. Does one of the RS writers have anything on the RS looking to get rid of him?

    1-Tracy probably should've had Mayer sacrificing in the 3rd. That's early, but it already looked like a pitchers' duel. And probably more importantly, Mayer has a .570 OPS. 2-Similar situation in the 7th when Gasper got on to open up the inning. Having Durbin sacrifice should've been automatic. No doubt in my mind. 3-Was La Sorsa the best available left to face Jazz? Gamboa is an unknown, and Coulombe isn't exactly lighting it up. But La Sorsa is lucky to even have a job in the pros. Not to mention the fact that Jazz (SSS) has one HR v La Sorsa in 4 career ABs. That was a bad spot to test out La Sorsa.

    RS fans judge players on an at bat by at bat basis.
  6. JoeBrady
    Was talking with some Yankee fans on the subway about that. Maddux and Key both came up. It's beautiful to watch.
  7. JoeBrady
    Or else Ceddanne thought there was a play at 2nd.
  8. JoeBrady
    He did strike out in his first AB in spring training. That was enough for Fred to write him off.
  9. JoeBrady
    Doubles could be a precursor to more HRs, but that's usually in younger players. Almost every peripheral stat is down. The 83/17 is probably the most alarming. He's only 29, so he should revert. But his stats so far are pretty bad. It'll be tough for him to get back to his 3.5-4.0 bWAR days.
  10. JoeBrady
    The LAD probably have twice that amount on the IL. The NYY and NYM also have more.
  11. JoeBrady
    Lawlar is interesting, but he might not be an infielder.
  12. JoeBrady
    I doubt AZ ever considered a Marte/Mayer straight-up trade. I always assumed Tolle would need to be part of the package.
  13. JoeBrady
    I don't see AZ making that trade straight up. It would be more cost effective to cut Gurriel and eat the $11M. That said, It's a very good fit. Yoshi is surely better than what AZ has gotten from Gurriel. Maybe some money from the RS, plus 1-2 lottery tickets might get it done. And from the RS perspective, Gurriel is probably better than what we've seen (again, some future projection required). Very good against lefties. And just cheap enough that we can cut him if he tanks.
  14. JoeBrady
    Yup, it took a while, but he is finally starting to hit... ...a little.
  15. JoeBrady
    I'm not sure there were that many teams interested. I don't remember hearing much noise. Outside of this forum of course.
  16. JoeBrady
    They don't want us to extend our players, and don't want us to lose any as FAs.
  17. JoeBrady
    I'd be shocked if SF traded Schmitt. They are too locked into Devers, Chapman, and Adames to rebuild, so jettisoning one of their top young talents makes no sense.
  18. JoeBrady
    FG has him at #53 as an SP over the past 3 seasons. Having a moderately better than average ERA plus averaging 29 starts has good value. Trying chop seasons into section for #3 type SPs won't yield meaningful results.
  19. JoeBrady
    I'd be shocked if the Angels traded Neto at all. And if they did, their ask would start with Tolle.
  20. JoeBrady
    You're buying on projected stats, not past stats. IMO, he should be a 30+ HR hitter at Fenway. Not for nothing, but we had a couple of threads about Adames & Chapman and people cited their OPS. Even without yesterday's eruption, Adames had a 1.004 over his previous 16 games and Chapman had a .765. They will age out, but a slow start doesn't mean they are finished.
  21. JoeBrady
    Playoffs are more about who has the best #1/2/3 SPs. That's what gives us a chance.
  22. JoeBrady
    What makes you think it's stupid? Starter 9.68 ERA 18/18 K/W Bulk Reliver 0.71 ERA 22/3 K/W If this was the old days, and this George Steinbrenner, he'd have fired mutha frackers. He had left a grease stain on the rug where someone's body had to be removed, just as a lesson to those that took their place. "BTW, what's that dirty spot on the rug?" "Oh, that use to be Joe. The Boss insisted we let the body decompose for a few days before removing it. And we still keep his head in the freezer just in case you want to see it" 6 bad starts with an ERA of 9.12 2 GREAT RP games with 2 ERs in 13.1 IPs 1 horrible start with 7 ERs in 5 IPs 2 HOF RP games with -0- ERs in 12 IPs. Oh, I don't know. Can anyone with a half a brain discern any type or pattern there? I don't say this lightly, but someone should be fired as an example.
  23. JoeBrady
    Anyone remember when some fans wanted him promoted to be a relief pitcher?
  24. JoeBrady
    .778 last year. About a .900 against lefties over the past three years. He's not THE answer, but even if we land Adames, we might need a 2nd bat. And the cost should be small.
  25. JoeBrady
    Paredes doesn't have a significant contract. Semien & Chapman are difficult to to add given their age & contract, and especially because they don't really add much, if any, offense. BB and Adames are worth discussing, but are kind of expensive. I'd prefer Adames.
