    The assortment of players we've run out to LF over the last two years has NOT outperformed what Rosario has done in it's entirety since he left. And it certainly doesn't have a World Series ring or a post-season appearance to show for it. Eddie also played with something this club has sorely lacked--heart. Of course so did Nelson Cruz-got rid of him too. AND, of course, we had ONE guy in the lineup this year who played with heart and he'll be gone too.

    You mean all those young outfielders who can't stay healthy? I remember a couple years back when we jettisoned Eddie Rosario rather than pay him a similar number. LF has been a revolving door ever since and we haven't sniffed the post-season. But sure, let's double down.

    How would we know what Larnach is? He can't stay on the field.

    Generally speaking, anytime one has to ponder how a club is gonna fit all of it's quality players on a roster, it's a mirage. Kind of reminds me of all the angst every spring about who is gonna make the opening day roster. Completely ignores that fact that in addition to the opening day 26 there might be another 26 who make big league appearances in a given season.

    Now look at the number of games he's played over that time

    Saying Iglesias has offensive ability and Simmons has none is patently wrong. Iglesias' solid (quarter of a real season) 2020 notwithstanding, NEITHER has done much of anything since 2018. The only difference is that Simmons was MUCH better prior to 2018. No reason to believe that Iglesias would perform any better here in 2023 than Simmons did in 2021 other than wanting it to be true or possible.

    5 years $190 million.

    Sure, he MIGHT get an 8 year offer. Of course, he didn't last time around. Seager, Baez, Semian & Story got a combined 29 years, $780 million. Their new teams finished a combined 62 games under .500. 88 if you factor in the fact that the Rangers double dipped. Need to at least make the offer. Never know how the market will break.

    I for one am intrigued by a 3B named Brooks who probably should have been drafted by the Orioles.
  10. dxpavelka
    Offer Correa 5 years $192 and have a conversation about playing a different position when Lewis is ready. Go big.
  11. dxpavelka
    Winning fixes attendance and enthusiasm. Injuries are unpredictable including returning from them.
  12. dxpavelka
    Offer Correa 5 years $193 million. Incorporate a conversation with the new owner at 601 N 1st AV regarding the virtues of moving to a different position when (if) Lewis is ready.

    3 # 2s, 3 # 3s 3 # 4s

    Kind of depends on whether we can get 300 games out of Buxton, Larnach & Kiriloff. Don't want Garlick to be lead our OF in games played but don't want Celestino to do so either. Would also prefer to see Gordon get more action in the infield than outfield, especially if Correa leaves and Lewis isn't ready for the opening bell.
  15. dxpavelka
    Judge would certainly qualify as outfield depth.
  16. dxpavelka
    What stands out to me is that he'd better have a great big league career or it was another failed trade.
  17. dxpavelka
    PROOF is a scientific fact. You have none. Just your opinion. Which you're welcome to. Doesn't PROVE anything.
  18. dxpavelka
    Should never have left their old team. There was no adequate PROVEN replacement. I'm not terribly interested in what your uninterested in pursuing.
  19. dxpavelka
    Would have been plenty of ABs for Eddie & Cruz. What they did elsewhere is not necessary an indicator of what either would have done here. But, hey, If you're good with Kiriloff & Larnach on the 60 day and Cave hitting .224 and Contreras hitting .111 who am I to argue?
  20. dxpavelka
    Maybe. But it PROVES nothing.
  21. dxpavelka
    There has yet to be a metric developed that measures heart. If there was one, this regime would not have moved on from guys like Eddie Rosario, Nelson Cruz and, soon, Carlos Correa.
  22. dxpavelka
    Not quite sure how this year PROVED that rest days don't help prevent injuries......
  23. dxpavelka
    This team has a "no heart" policy. Rosario had to go. Nelson Cruz shortly thereafter. Carols Correa's pretty much the only guy with heart this year. We'll do whatever it takes to ensure his departure.
  24. dxpavelka
    Cute article but the players will NEVER agree to a cap.
  25. dxpavelka
    If he played 90% of the games that contract would be $250 million and he'd have a different address.
