I’m pretty sure you read it completely opposite of how he meant it.
Yeah. He’s a career 3.5 playoff guy going into this start. This is about his 6th ok to lousy post season start in a row, after his innings have...
There is no hand wringing. It's one poster who has had himself whipped into a frenzy since August 29th and everyone else telling him- relax dude,...
Sign JV and Abreu, trade Maton and another arm for something intriguing, DFA the flotsam and call it an off-season. Go win 100-110 in 2023....
8.5 per WAR on the FA market. He was worth 45M and got paid 35M on a 1 year deal. That’s absolutely fine value for a FA. It’s not his fault the...

It’s a fair point for sure.
I’d be fine with that- Yuli can play and hit 9th against LHP. He should be an auto sit against RHP. I don’t hate Peña at the 2 as we’ve had a ton...
The only thing wrong with that lineup from perfection for post season is Yuli instead of A Diaz. Make that simple substitution and you have the...

That’s bc Brantley played half the season there and was above average and bc Yordan rakes when he plays there (and Chas is great against LHP). I...
Having a 1B anywhere lower than Very Good is just such a freaking beat down, and I’d say the same about LF. It’s nice anywhere you can get extra...
I messed up the calculations earlier… He has 5.1 WAR for BBR to Pena with 4.5. He has 4.2 fangraphs war compared to Pena with 3.5. his wRC is...
I’d be knock me over with a feather shocked if they traded him. And I’d be pissed as well. Unless they got something spectacular for him. Like, an...
Agreed completely and totally with the overall thrust of your point- just a couple nuts to pick…. Trey Mancini has not been a below average hitter...
That’s a horrible list. And also none of it seems like anything other than bad luck from a structural standpoint. Just lots of bad luck. Other...
Yeah- I just don’t see a fit at all. If you want to bring him in as a non roster invitee to Spring training, ok… I guess? But at any kind of...
