    Now post their career WAR.

    For me moving Bichette is purely a performance issue, but with Springer it's more about keeping him physically intact for the remaining 4 years of his contract, which takes him into his age 37 season. Springer is playable in CF but the conventional wisdom is that moving to a corner will prevent injuries due to decreased workload. It's the same argument for Trout's eventual move to a corner. Given the damage to his elbow, LF might be an even better option than RF to reduce max effort throws.

    Bichette has an argument for worst defensive SS in baseball. The time to prove he can handle SS has come and gone, especially with the new shift rules. I haven't seen enough of Espinal at SS to know if he is the answer, or if an internal position switch is even palatable to Bichette. He might need to move for someone like Correa to save face. These are questions that only the front office knows, but I really think they need to stop giving back so much value on defence.

    We have enough holes to fill that we probably don't have the luxury of counting on any big FAs. As of today, most our rotation is assuming huge improvements from Berrios, Kikuchi, and White. Next in line after that crap is Casey Lawrence and Thomas Hatch. Springer can no longer play CF every day. And we desperately need to replace 400 PA of Tapia. Cheap stars like Kirk and Manoah are worth their weight in gold right now.

    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.
  8. keggy
    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.
  9. keggy
    It's not a save situation yet.
  10. keggy
    I want Zimmer to play all 18 innings and pick up the save in Game 2.
  11. keggy
    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.
  12. keggy
    Would love to see some add-on runs so Romano doesn't have to pitch in this mess.
  13. keggy
    Don't be surprised to see White optioned right after his start for Lawrence.
  14. keggy
    You know Pete Walker is destroying that keg.
  15. keggy
    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.
  16. keggy
    Realistically we can only roster two of Zimmer, Tapia, and Bradley.
  17. keggy
    Teoscar is lucky he got to 2nd. Somebody needs to talk to him.
  18. keggy
    Pop can sell it to Berrios.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. keggy
    Those sliders were garbage. I won't judge too harshly until I see a few more.
  22. 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.
  23. keggy
    The difference between effective Berrios and terrible Berrios is razor thin.
  24. keggy
    Popup straight into the air and the runner protects his nuts lol.
  25. keggy
    With all the contact he makes on the infield, skinny Kirk could be a future batting champion from increased BABIP alone.
