  1. I don’t like the way this team is constructed right now. Whatever DH they sign basically replaces Belt, plus we lost Chapman. Really feel like we need 2 more bats. Seems like every year the front office and fans know exactly what the glaring hole of the roster is going into the season and it has come back to bite us. If they wanna wait until the deadline before assessing the weaknesses, fine. But they NEED to address those problems if they’re waiting til the deadline. Adding a bat or 2 at the deadline last season would’ve made all the difference IMO. And in 2022, they should’ve added a solid RP.
  2. The difference of the juiced ball era vs current era. Dudes like Matt Chapman are perennial MVP candidates in the former era.
  3. Ah right true. The other one he was using was #manoahdriven. Lame as hell.
  4. No. Lots of people do deadlifts without shoes. It’s supposed to be better for balance
  5. Dude has the cringiest hashtags #Manoahmadedisaster
  6. There’s no unfortunately driving drunk, you make that choice.
  7. You’re mistaken. He specifically mentioned being able to “make her into the woman he wants her to be”. So he was definitely looking for someone underage and controllable/groomable
  8. Houston may very well use Hader as their Andrew Miller. Comes in to any tough situations, but mainly kept as a setup man with Pressly the main 9th inning guy.
  9. Buy high + sell low in the same trade. Not great recipe for success
  10. Jesus Christ
  11. Its like everyone forgets that most people wanted to dump Bo last year too
  12. Backpedaling so you can claim you weren’t wrong about Manoah when he rebounds.
  13. That’s a ridiculous statement. Don’t agree at all. We’ll see how it plays out next year
  14. And for the record I do really like Varsho, and I like Kim, and don’t really like Manoah. If Kim was a free agent i’d be all for it. Or if he had more control.
  15. I agree. I probably wouldn’t trade 4 yrs Manoah for 1 yr of Varsho either.
  16. Yeah they’re actually extremely similar players value-wise, only differences being that Kim has more contact/less power and plays a different position. Would anyone here be trading Manoah for Varsho if he was a 1-yr rental? Major recency bias from all you guys
  17. Varsho projects to be a better bat than Kim next year lol
  18. And FWIW, the guy 50% of regulars here despise (Daulton Varsho) projects for the same WAR as Kim. I don’t understand this infatuation with Kim as a rental.
  19. Kim projects for 3 WAR. Schneider projects for 2 WAR. Manoah for 0.8 WAR. I just don’t see why you’d give up 4 years of Manoah for 1 year of Kim when it barely moves the needle. Plenty of time for Manoah to rebound. If Manoah has 1 year where he puts up 2.5 WAR then the trade isn’t worth it. More important to keep Manoah as rotation depth for the next few years than to make a slight upgrade to 2B for 1 season.
  20. Fixed for you. IDK, just not really sure I believe in Kim. If he dips back down to 100ish wRC+ then I wouldn’t feel great that we gave up Manoah 4yrs for that. Manoah was awful in 2023 but Berrios was awful in 2022. Guys can bounce back. If we had a need at SS then my opinion might be different. As-is, we have guys like Schneider etc that can produce enough at 2B
  21. Also not sure why you’d think Kim has “more in the bat” but Manoah is toast at age 26
  22. I don’t even think i’d do Manoah for Kim straight up. If Kim had 2 years, then yeah sure. But 1 year of Kim is not worth 4 years of Manoah IMO.
