  1. Totally blocked into him. This game is clearly fixed.
  2. Refs handing this to Philly
  3. Reinforces that SF should keep lance
  4. I'm not too down on the last draft. A few injuries and a few mistakes in your first draft isn't the end of the world....not that I love the draft.
  5. Not the trade to get Gallen.....I was very disappointed the twins didn't do that one.
  6. Hopefully the twins have that kind of patience, rather than the lack thereof posters here have! You are right. Viola wasn't good his first year. Not sure berrios was.....
  7. It's a huge risk, if you think a second is huge. That said, if I'm SF, I want a legit backup next year.....
  8. It would be a waste to use his speed and arm in the OF, along with his hitting? Speechless.
  9. Arraez isn't close to MVP. Also, they aren't overloaded....they literally used 9 OFers last year. I'm guessing he's going to turn 2 with Polanco, who is a better overall player than Arraez (O, D, running all taken into account). As for the SP, they are also not overloaded. I'd be shocked if we don't see Varland, Ober, and SWR all start games this year.
  10. I thought we were discussing Lopez! You have to give up quality to get quality. If you only trade crap prospects, good luck.
  11. I don't know if we can draw any conclusions from this off-season other than the FO wants MUCH better depth at SP and OF. They never want a number five or AAAA starting pitcher pitching this year. They don't want to use their sixth thru eighth OF at the same time. Everything else is a guess.
  12. Not punting last year is the reasoning. Should they have just not tried to win last year?
  13. He put up a 3.75era last year. He was in the top fifty in fwar.
  14. I don't think they misjudged last year. Their injury rate was insane, and the closer was awful at the beginning. Stuff happens.
  15. But you can't know that at the time. If you live in fear of making any moves, just find another job. Judging moves in hindsight is incredibly unfair to those making them.
  16. Every movie I recall seeing last year: https://mikesixel.com/2022-movie-reviews/
  17. The idea that if you trade a prospect that works out....you automatically lose the trade is silly. They got a good year from Gray. They are likely to get another. Even if Petty turns into a number 2/3....they got a good return that held much less risk than Petty.
  18. I guess they could have not made trades and punted last year, but why? No matter what this front office does, there will be an article ripping them for doing it.
  19. They also won't be starting Archer and Bundy all year. They are also much deeper when injury occurs than last year. Also, Farmer and Vazquez say hi
  20. I think the floor is 100% higher. The ceiling is about the same. It is all about health (and as in all sports, some luck).
