    To be honest, we have so much beautiful flexibility that Marwin didn't interest me. If we want another bench infielder, give me a lefty masher like Jedd Gyorko or someone like Brad Miller - give me an impact bat that can play 3rd/1st, maybe some 2nd and DH if needed. What's Jed Lowrie up to these days? He was a beast in 2017 and 2018.

    I don't even understand what you're saying. Fisher had a mental block (or some anxiety issue) that made him unable to catch flyballs during games. Did you think someone who's played baseball his entire life suddenly couldn't catch a flyball?

    Unless we add another OFer or someone like Marwin who can play all over - wouldn't we just have started the year with Grichuk as the 4th OF/DH (platoon with Tellez) and Fisher on the bench (optioning Davis to AAA)? Or do you think they'll just keep Grichuk as the only backup OFer, recognizing Biggio can play there too? Use the extra roster spot for more relievers? Regardless - for me - I would have DFA'd Wag's or the new guy they just signed when Shun was cut. I would have kept Fisher through Spring Training as protection against an injury to any of our top 4 OFers - while giving Fisher a chance to prove he's over the yips. That said, all of this probably doesn't matter. If we had a major injury in Spring Training, we can go sign Puig or one of the other solid OFers still looking for a job.

    I'm not sure if it's confirmed, but there's like a 98% chance he was dealing with a mental block. But let's make fun of him right? He has such loud tools and a LH outfielder was something this team could use. There's probably a 90% chance he never develops into a solid player, but his upside is much higher than most of our fringe roster guys.

    I don't like dropping Fisher while keeping Wag's.
  6. Brownie19
    that his name isn't Trevor Rosenthal?
  7. Brownie19
    For me, Wag's is the most obvious one to let go from that list.

    Red Sox are dealing Benintendi for Franchy Cordero and Winchowski? WTF? There must be more to this.

    Mets missed out on Bauer, so Bryant and Hendriks to the Mets for Alvarez might have traction?
  10. Brownie19
    I actually could probably live with Porcello, Rosenthal and Panik

    This is pretty cringe worthy man. If hitting the ball to all field effectively and bunting for base hits against the shift were even remotely easy to do - then the shift wouldn't exist.
  12. Brownie19
    That thought process is correct. The less damage Biggio can do, the more pitchers will challenge him.
  13. Brownie19
    MIN and CLE are better than the White Sox? Braves are a 4th place team? I mean that's all possible, but still interesting. Man - seeing those standings makes me miss baseball. Let's get Spring Training going!

    This lines up well with our focus on solidifying our defense this offseason.

    Good thing we kept Charlie. Charlie was just preparing his team for this shift in philosophy so they are ahead of the curve during their competitive window. 4D chess s*** from Shatkins and Charlie.

    While I have to agree that the end product wasn't good, AA did draft several players who were very highly regarded, but simply never turned out for whatever reason. Sanchez Norris Pompey Alford Hoffman Pentecost He also did draft Joe Musgrove Matt Boyd Kevin Pillar (not that he deserves a ton of credit here) Tellez Jansen Romano Borucki Sam Dyson Patrick Murphy OK - his drafting wasn't great, but he did use loopholes in the system to rebuild the system and he used that perceived value to land us players that helped us win (Price, Tulo, etc.). Perhaps you might say he needed all those extra picks because even a broken clock is right twice a day...What's interesting is that Tinnish has been a main stay throughout both regimes. AA also deserves credit for unloading V.Wells, landing Morrow, Lawrie (even if he didn't work out), Estrada, etc...and of course for signing Vlad.

    It's amazing that Evans and Godwin combined caught 3 balls and they still rolled over the Chiefs.

    Would be really interesting to know how this all went. I mean it seems foolish to think you've signed someone before they've actually signed anything...but were they given the verbal acceptance "yes, Mr. Bauer accepts those terms, please draw up the Contract and we will sign it" and then they just bailed and went to the Dodgers? If so, that's not cool.

    Brady and Gronk are legendary - simply amazing.

    It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Ozuna was a f***ing beast last year, but in 4 of the past 6 seasons his wRC+ has been <110. For someone who's bad defensively, his production may not be much better than Grichuk if his bat returns to what it was in 2018-2019. That said - his savant metrics suggest he's a beast and the gains he's made in BB% over the last 2 years suggest he's made the necessary adjustments.
  22. Brownie19
    Trade for Price, sign Rosenthal and call it an offseason for the ages!
  23. Brownie19
    what is this based on? oh wait. nothing...it's based on nothing.
  24. Brownie19
    um...no. The Jays are signing Odorizzi and Rosenthal thank you very much.
  25. Brownie19
    Could the Jays get Price and a prospect from LA in exchange for taking his contract (so LA can stay under the luxury cap)? Not many teams are looking to add payroll....
