I 100% believe money was an issue, but I agree with this part.
-
Oh man, I forgot Abel was from a rival HS here in OR (I'm an assistant HS golf coach). I am liking this deal even less! :)
-
I'm not worried.....just didn't love seeing that. Martin isn't going anywhere. Nor is Ohl.
-
Fangraphs: Tait: 6, Abel: 14, Mendez: 30
-
I would hope so!
-
Just saw Mendez is rule 5 eligible this year, so he'll need to be added to the 40 man, Like the deal slightly less now.
-
I'll bet keep.
-
I can't imagine for 1 minute this reduces the value of the team in a sale.
-
I mean, does any billionaire care about anyone else? Especially customers?
-
I wish the TWins could figure out how to package all these OK prospects for a legit player....but that doesn't really work.
-
Except they've dealt guys with control for guys a LONG way off.....and kept Ryan and Lopez and Ober? That seems like an odd fit in terms of strategy. We'll see....but they've done nothing to fix the O in the next two years, but they've also not traded off the next two years (yet).
-
We'll definitely disagree on McCusker. If you are punting the season, Wallner should play every day......
-
He wasn't even an honorable mention on Fangraphs (merely pointing out it is hard to trust only 1 source in rankings). I hope the other people are right!
-
That was my thought also!
-
That was my 2nd biggest issue with the Duran trade, it did nothing to fix things on offense in that pitching window.
-
It is trading both I don't get.
-
I'm not sure I get trading Stewart and Duran.....
-
Sure, I have no idea. I'm a broken record here, but relying on one ranking site likely isn't a good idea (Fangraphs, MLB, BA, etc.). Looking across them makes more sense to me to get a feel.
-
If there was a younger player, I'd be with you. But I just don't know who that is with this group and this FO. OTOH, they still have Lopez, Ryan, Ober and maybe Able next year.....
-
Apparently I was wrong that they'd not do much today!
-
They aren't winning this year, and they traded an expiring contract. That makes sense.
-
This is what Fangraphs wrote last year about Mendez: Mendez came over from Milwaukee along with Robert Moore. He had an exciting contact and frame projection combo as a very young prospect, but he’s stiffened up as he’s matured and I’ve grown less confident that he’ll hit.
-
I'm done with Larnach, and Bader can field, and no one else is likely ready unless they push GG, which they won't.
-
Man, Fangraphs really doesn't like the targets so far as much as others, Mendez isn't even an honorable mention for them as a prospect for Philly....
-
I'd much rather see Gonzalez this year than Kiersey....Or Martin or ERod if ever healthy. I hope they bring Bader back next year, though I think that is not likely.
