    I don't think Anthopoulos' moves have any comparables. No executive in baseball has done what he's done with value contracts.

    If Moreno can cover some of the IF and OF, he's basically Gavin Lux with catching ability making the league minimum which is incredibly valuable. This would mean less Tapia and give us the flexibility of a legitimate 3rd catcher. And getting enough ABs wouldn't be a problem with that many positions to cover. The biggest concern is that it would be a huge ask for a young player to learn to cover all these positions and still develop as a hitter and catcher.

    We should NOT be trading pre-arb assets like Kirk. We are at a point in our payroll that we should use that financial surplus to fill in major holes that are going to be expensive (SP, OF). We shouldn't even be trading Gurriel who is making peanuts if it's just going to open up a hole that needs to be filled with money.

    Tapia should not be starting against Ray. His top strengths are being fast and hitting RHP better than Jackie Bradley Jr. Facing a LHP nullifies both of those strengths.

    It's not a save situation yet.

    I want Zimmer to play all 18 innings and pick up the save in Game 2.

    Just my opinion, putting on my manager's hat, but I rest absolutely everyone who can be rested on Tuesday. I'm talking a disgusting starting OF of Tapia, Zimmer, Bradley. Moreno at C. DH whoever is in a funk. Let all the regulars start for a couple of AB on Wednesday so that they keep their game timing with the off day. Substitute like crazy in the later innings. For relievers, I would pitch all of the high leverage guys for one inning on Tuesday only in case they need to be abused for the WC series (e.g., Romano three days in a row). They should be throwing darts in Game 1. For Wednesday, I would option Pop and White and piece together 9 innings using Kikuchi, Lawrence, Merryweather, and possibly Richards/Phelps. Hot take, but I want Manoah pitching like 1 inning on Wednesday. Extra rest is good for a power pitcher, but multiple extra days can add rust.

    Would love to see some add-on runs so Romano doesn't have to pitch in this mess.
  9. keggy
    Don't be surprised to see White optioned right after his start for Lawrence.

    You know Pete Walker is destroying that keg.

    Alex can be the opener for all three games. If he goes 3 IP each game then 3+3+3 = 9.0 which is basically a complete game. Pitch Ken Gausman for inning 4-6. Then Berios inning 7-9. If Berios finishes the last 3 IP he gets credit for a SV. Than we can trade him in the offseason as a closer. We need cap space to sign Soto.
  12. keggy
    Realistically we can only roster two of Zimmer, Tapia, and Bradley.
  13. keggy
    Teoscar is lucky he got to 2nd. Somebody needs to talk to him.
  14. keggy
    Pop can sell it to Berrios.
  15. keggy
    If we have the financial flexibility, now might be the time for a classic Anthopoulos-style team friendly contract. Guerrero is basically begging for an extension coming off a down year.
  16. keggy
    I think we're out of roster space for the near future. In my opinion White needs to stay up to cover one of the Yankees games. The only guy with options is Pop, who is clearly more reliable than Pearson until proven otherwise. If you option Pop now, you've basically lost him for the rest of the regular season. I think they need to keep Pearson down until an audition during the final series of the season at the earliest. Maybe even just the final game. That way you keep Pop for the stretch run, and you can still roster both of them for the playoffs.
  17. keggy
    Those sliders were garbage. I won't judge too harshly until I see a few more.
  18. keggy
    Pearson put on some weight. If he shows he can throw back to back games without bursting into flames they should call him up.
  19. keggy
    The difference between effective Berrios and terrible Berrios is razor thin.
  20. keggy
    Popup straight into the air and the runner protects his nuts lol.
  21. keggy
    With all the contact he makes on the infield, skinny Kirk could be a future batting champion from increased BABIP alone.
  22. keggy
    We need to address the elephant in the room which is that the team has burned through most of the financial flexibility we gained since our last competitive window. We have about $120 million in guaranteed salaries in 2023 (not counting arb). $75 million of that is allocated to Springer, Berrios, Kikuchi, Ryu, and Grichuk alone. For arb eligible players, guys like Bichette, Guerrero, Teoscar, and Romano are due for big raises. Signing Guerrero to a lifetime mega-deal is already a risk from a performance perspective, but I honestly question if we even have the financial flexibility to fill the rest of holes on the team if Vlad starts making $35 million.
  23. keggy
    Miguel Cabrera and Boog Powell are excellent comparables. A few others in my opinion are Jack Clark, Harmon Killebrew, Prince Fielder, and Gary Sheffield.
  24. keggy
    Bichette is a great player, but this is the only season of his career that he deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as Soto. They are on completely different levels.
  25. keggy
    There are a lot of players with comparable offensive production at a young age who never became Hall of Famers. The closest thing to a surefire Hall of Famer at age 23 is Soto (and Trout before that). Guerrero is not on that level.
