    Royce sounds like he needs a hug. I hope he can work through this.
  2. big dog
    OK, let's bring Gonzalez up to play first base. I saw one play, I'm sold. Time to start playing for next year.

    And define "addition". Sounds like if you use WAR we might have another "subtraction".

    So glad we just bought a new reliever who is on a different team every few weeks. These guys are gold, we just have to work that Pete Maki Magic on them! If they can just try 20 or 30 more they are bound to find one who is at least league-average.

    They haven't quit. Hope they can keep churning.

    Amen, brother. The game I saw in Oakland where he blew a solid lead in the ninth now ranks as "just another day". I gotta move on.

    I wonder how late it is at night when Bowden plugs in his Random Names To Trade generator and starts writing down what spews out. Really late, probably.

    I expect regression, sure. But I really hope they don’t regress to last year.

    One slight adjustment should be made- one of the times he was thrown out was when he ran toward second in an attempt to get a throw so Buck could score from third. They threw down, he was out, the Twins scored the run. Not his fault- that has to have been called from the dugout.

    I would like to see a two-week moratorium on Wallner tapping his helmet.

    CES got waived, Steven Hajjar retired after spending 3 years in A+ leagues, and Steer's WAR has gone from 2.9 to 1.5 to 0.7 and so far this year is at -0.4. His OPS plus has gone from 117 to 96 to 94 to this year's tiny-sample-size 40. Tyler Mahle in the meantime currently is 0-2 for the Giants in 3 starts, with an ERA of 4.35 and a WHIP of 1.6. Since the trade in 2022 he's pitched a total of 156 innings over 3 full seasons and parts of 2 others. I'm prepared to just forget this whole thing ever happened rather than dragging it back and forth over some pretty dead coals..

    Maybe Houston's bat isn't the black hole that was predicted. That would be a very nice outcome.

    Congrats!! Great job Taj!!!

    The thumbs down aren't because it is wrong. It's because the point of the thread was looking for bright spots. You can read this comment or 1,000 others just like it in virtually every other thread. Try to follow along.

    Here's a quick update as to who is playing and how well, in this tiny sample. I still cheer for (most of) these guys. I may well have missed 10 or 15 relievers from the last couple of years. Ex-Twins Hitters (qualified) Name AB AVG OBP OPS Luke Raley 14 .286 .333 1.262 Carlos Correa 23 .304 .385 .733 Jorge Polanco 15 .200 .400 .667 Harrison Bader 19 .158 .158 .526 Luis Arraez 19 .211 .238 .449 Brent Rooker 21 .190 .190 .380 Carlos Santana 16 .063 .167 .292 Spencer Steer 13 .077 .188 .265 Others Edouard Julien 8 .125 .125 .375 Rob Refsnyder 8 0 0 0 Gary Sanchez 6 .500 .625 2.125 Christian Vasquez 3 .333 .500 .833 Kyle Farmer, Ty France, Mitch Garver, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa are all hitless but with very little playing time.

    Well, it’s a three-game sample. It might be possible to improve on it. I guess it depends on how old you are.
  20. big dog
    Ober with 3 scoreless. Let's go Bailey clap-clap-clapclapclap!
  21. big dog
    We also got a comp pick when Gray left.
  22. big dog
    I'm looking forward to more stolen bases. Hopefully a lot more stolen bases.
  23. big dog
    Naw, go for the "Mystery Box", that should work. This box contains at least 5 players, 3 of whom have more than 4 weeks in the major. At least 1 player is a pitcher, at least 2 are infielders. What am I bid for this "Mystery Box"? You know teams are gonna bite on that deal. An auction should generate something great, like, I don't know, $25k?
  24. big dog
    There's at least a chance that a couple of these young players develop. It's worth taking, compared to hoping older relievers get young again.
  25. big dog
    Joe might still be able to make the team as a first baseman.
