  1. And go thru the same thing next year?
  2. As long as Cruz is part of the discussion, it's worth noting his clubhouse influence-ESPECIALLY on Sano. Might be a guy worth having around even after his playing days. Not like Sano's the only Latino in that clubhouse either.
  3. As I recall, your perfect offseason plan involved signing Mancini for a ridiculously low number. Yes, I understand he hasn't signed anywhere yet. Maybe because somebody (we?) are offering him that number.
  4. Just think where he might have ranked if he had the ability to drive himself in on occasion.
  5. I'd have no issue with bringing back Cruz considering the dregs we're likely to throw into the DH hole. There is however, a slight difference between a 29 year old Sano and a 42 year old Cruz.
  6. What's hilarious is that you think my thoughts on bringing back Sano are based on past performance rather than on what I think he can still do in the FUTURE.
  7. I've already advocated for Babe Ruth & Cy Young. I'd have no issue with Hrbek & Viola to round things out as well.
  8. Not sure who you're referring to but do tell and also let me know when we go out and get said guy. Not holding my breath.
  9. No more silly than thinking the past has any bearing on the future. Although IF that were the case I'd say we're in for another 75 win season. That should be exciting.
  10. How many guys on the current roster not named Buxton are gonna hit any of those numbers in either a single season OR over a 162 game pace? HR: Nobody although Gary Sanchez is at 37 per 162. Miranda's is the apple of our eye and paced 86 RBI per 162. Arraez won a batting title and does actually match Sano's per 162 runs scored. Arraez played 144 games and won a batting title with an OPS under .800. That's hard to do. Career OPS is even lower. This squad scored less than 700 runs last year and doesn't return Correa, Urshela and almost certainly Sanchez. Not gonna compete without scoring 800 and I have no clue where those would come from. Don't think they do either.
  11. Cuddyer hit 197 career home runs. Gonna take Gordon a couple lifetimes to get to that number.
  12. He's and infielder masquerading as a corner outfielder--with limited power. That's got disaster written all over it if you're expecting a hundred starts as such.
  13. You can never have enough terrible defenders without power.
  14. Gordon starting 130 games in the outfield has the ring of another 78 win season. Can't wait.
  15. So, obviously we should sign Babe Ruth & Cy Young.
  16. Which absolutely means he won't be healthier this year than in the past. Has to. Even if only cuz you said so.
  17. Except we're coming off a season in which NONE of the guys you listed grabbed a rotation spot by the balls and squeezed it.
  18. HASN'T. The past is an excellent predictor of the past.
  19. I understand that Kepler & Gallo bring many of the same things to the value table making moving him enticing. However, one of those things each brings to the table is actually showing up at the table. Each of them has played more games the last two years than Larnach & Kirlloff combined. The prospect of trading Kepler and having to run guys like Gordon, Garlick or Contreras out to the corner outfield spots is not appealing. Unless that goal is something other than winning baseball games.
  20. # 3 all day & twice on Sunday.
