    Over the past 2 weeks I'm not sure that has been true, which is sad. Some of the better bats would make the defense worse enough that I'd rather have Vazquez in the lineup and Jeffers at DH.
  2. DJL44
    It was a clear mistake at the time for the front office to not extend Jose Berrios. Once they made that bad decision, they did okay with the consequences. It appears they want to make that mistake all over again with their current young talent because they didn't offer ANY of them a team-friendly contract extension this past offseason.

    Did those playoff teams also rank next to last in offensive production? This team cannot win games with average starting pitching.
  4. DJL44
    130 games for Jeffers is not going to happen unless 30 of those games are at DH. Adley Rutschman maxed out at 110 games behind the plate in 2023.
  5. DJL44
    Why do people continue to believe Berrios would have signed a free agent contract with the cheapskate Twins?
  6. DJL44
    He's playing SS at the moment.
  7. DJL44
    Most MLB teams miss the playoffs.
  8. DJL44
    I'm actually optimistic about the trade. Two of the members of the current team came from that trade. If Berrios had left as a free agent instead they would have nothing to show for it.

    Royce Lewis is clearly a 60 day IL candidate. Would they add Keirsey to the 40 man and give him his debut or go with someone they feel comfortable cutting like Diego Castillo?
  10. DJL44
    The competition for the job is not fierce. An ERA around 5 will give him the job for the season.
  11. DJL44
    With the sudden drop in speed for Margot it's possible he is also injured.
  12. DJL44
    How good was his slider in the 5th inning? We'll never know because they won't let him pitch into the 5th inning.
  13. DJL44
    FYI - Cubs are giving away a cheap 1B who looks about as good as Jose Miranda
  14. DJL44
    Every start from Festa makes it look more and more likely that his future is in the bullpen.
  15. DJL44
    He still needs to go, giving the playing time to Larnach, Wallner and Kirilloff will be more important in August and September.
  16. DJL44
    I'm 100% in favor of this. Max goes for the best prospects available at the deadline.
  17. DJL44
    I checked, my take holds up - signing Santana prevented them from signing someone better. Brandon Belt - who outhit every Twin except Royce Lewis in 2023 - is sitting at home waiting for someone to give him a job. Jose Miranda is showing that he's a better option as a RH platoon bat at 1B. Even if we assume a bounce back for Santana from terrible to mediocre. this is a simple move to make. Bench him until they can work out a contract with Belt and then release him. Could be worse, see the Astros and Jose Abreu.
  18. DJL44
    He has a 5.20 ERA in AAA since the beginning of 2023 which would project to > 6 in the big leagues. It would likely be a long, drawn-out story of failure.
  19. DJL44
    In the least surprising development of the season, Matt Canterino is still injured.
  20. DJL44
    With hindsight, they should have put more emphasis on the going forward part of the trade.
  21. DJL44
    Do nice guys finish last?
  22. DJL44
    Maybe they can bring Polanco back next season after Seattle declines his option.
  23. DJL44
    It appears that 2024 has seen another drop in offense around the league. Batting average is down. The rates of 2B and HR are also down. K rates are steady. Pitching velocity usually affects the oldest players the most. Judging just by age I think Willi Castro is the best bet to bounce back from his early hitting woes.
  24. DJL44
    We will see how good 36-year-old Seth Lugo is at the end of his contract but he has been a good signing for Kansas City so far. For me, the answer was to bring back Sonny Gray. It is telling how he specifically mentioned the Cardinals organization as a draw to sign there as a free agent.
  25. DJL44
    Only if you can get someone else to pick up the contract on waivers.
