    Arraez twice and no SS. 20 players on the 26 man roster is one way to save money
  2. Richie the Rally Goat
    If DSP were to publicly throw his FO under the bus while tolerating their incompetence, it would put even more scrutiny on him by the Pohlads.
  3. Richie the Rally Goat
    Well said John. Know your truth and live it. It takes a ton of conviction to truly lead.
  4. Richie the Rally Goat
    Duplicate?
  5. Richie the Rally Goat
    What if Duran could do, what we saw for 60 innings in 2022, for 90 to 100 innings in 2023 and 120 to 140 innings in 2024? it’s happened before, albeit rarely.
  6. Richie the Rally Goat
    You can always put up another blueprint, it’s super easy
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    Agreed, but this FO is laser-beam focused on incremental moves. It’s not their MO to make big roster moves. Signing Correa to effectively a 1 year deal rocked our world!
  8. Richie the Rally Goat
    I updated my pitching positions, looking at them from most innings pitched in the season, to fewest. The thread about pitching roles inspired.
  9. Richie the Rally Goat
    My challenge with Bassitt (or Rodon) is he fits a very similar mold with the rest of the rotation. Struggles to stay on the field. He’d be an upgrade, but would continue to exacerbate the stress on the bullpen.
  10. Richie the Rally Goat
    Forgot to mention, Kepler and Gio each traded for low level prospects.
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
    C : Ryan Jeffers ($0.70M) 1B: Alex Kirilloff ($.7M) 2B: Jorge Polanco ($7.50M) 3B: Jose Miranda ($.7M) SS: Jose Iglesias ($5.0M) LF: Trevor Larnach ($0.70M) CF: Byron Buxton ($15.00M) RF: Matt Wallner ($.7M) DH: Luis Arraez ($4.5M) 4th OF: Kyle Garlick ($0.70M) Utility: Nick Gordon ($0.70M) Utility: Gilberto Celestino ($0.70M) Backup C : Sandy Leon ($1.0M) SP1: Tyler Mahle ($8.00M) SP2: Joe Ryan ($0.70M) SP3: Sonny Gray ($12.00M) SP4: Kenta Maeda ($9.00M) SP5: Jhoan Duran ($0.70M) RP: Bailey Ober ($0.70M) RP: Josh Winder ($.7M) RP: Griffin Jax ($0.70M) RP: Jorge Lopez ($3.00M) RP: Brad Boxberger ($2.0M) RP: Jovani Moran ($.7M) RP: Jorge Alcala ($1.00M) RP: Caleb Thielbar ($2.00M) Payroll is 38.50% under budget Wanted to think about what a steeper reload/rebuild might look like. What if Kepler were traded, Gio were traded or non-tendered, and the Fo slashed payroll. much less fun
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    I have been toying w/ putting together another plan that involves moving on from Gio. He Reminds me a lot of Kepler, good fielder, light stick, in a bat-first position, especially post shift ban.
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    Sure, players are durable until they’re not. Players are injury-prone until they’re not. I get that and agree to an extent, and Nick Gordon is the prime example of the latter. are you planning on AK, Larnach, and Buxton all suddenly becoming 130 game players? 3 of the 5 primary outfield rotation players haven’t played more than 100 games since 2018 and each of them have only done so once in their careers. Kepler, is a poor hitting RF who plays strong D, I don’t even want him on the team except that he has been a relative iron man compared to the other 4, and Gordon shouldn’t be an every day player. something has to change, and Wallner needs to be an every day player too. How can a lineup with 5 players all needing high quality backups overcome a black hole at SS?
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    I like what you’re smokin’, just don’t pass me the Dutchee, I’m gettin the DTs
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    reading between the lines here, I’m prepared for a payroll below 140
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    Iglesias is fine, if they do something with the outfield, and get more out of 3rd base than what Gio provided. They aren’t going to get more healthy in 2023. Need a better hitting RF than Kepler and a decent, CF capable league average or better hitting, 4th outfielder.
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    Ahem…..
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    I’m thinking SS and Catcher are not the reason the lineup was awful in ‘22. I’m looking square at the outfield, DH and Gio at 3rd that firmly underperformed in bat first positions. As evidenced by the record, 4-5 hitters can’t be compensated for by one SS. Especially with the shift being mitigated, quality fielding SS is a must. I’d love to see Correa re-signed, I don’t see that as likely. I really like Ahmed as a trade target.
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    Only slightly used
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    twenty-first-and-a-half Century!
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    Over budget?! Is that allowed?
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    TBH, I wouldn’t sign Hicks to be a backup for Buxton either, but I’d druther Hicks in CF than Wallner
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    He missed the vesting option because he was traded, right?
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    Pitchers are limited to 13 roster spots. I like the idea of a 6 man rotation, but Winder can’t be in the utility spot. good job showing your work on a fairly realistic trade.
