  1. 66th in wRC+.. Willy Adames had a higher wRC+ than Vlad. He will probably get there, but he is not an elite hitter yet, to consider when comparing elite offenses.
  2. It is difficult, but Miami has done it two years in a row. They are deep and need offense. Musgrove is not an old man. Indians want an OF and catcher and and still have a lot of pitching even after moving Clevinger and Carassco.. SD still has tons.. A guy like Morejon with no spot in the rotation..
  3. Good question Jim... I think Kendrick might be best cost vs reward. Tailion and a few more from the Pirates. I think Gray from the Reds might cost too much. Not interested in Gray from Colorado. I might try targeting a few younger just feet wet or near MLB ready the next tier down in orgs like Miami, KC, Cleveland, SD, Pirates.. I think Miami and KC have some surplus I like.. In other words, instead of using an LGR jr to get one SP, package him and get two or three lesser guys who are near MLB ready or have dipped their toes.
  4. Coincidence they fire their Alpha male in the AM and Springer signs in the PM..???
  5. I usually try and think about baseball to avoid this.. In this case, baseball is the cause..
  6. Not using projections, unless I am then adding Vaughn and guys like that to the equation. A lot of teams have guys that produced like Vlad did/has so far. We both forgot Atlanta, the Braves should be in the top teams conversation also.
  7. I didn't count Vlad, as so far he is name only. If Vlad becomes the guy we thought, then that changes the equation. As of now I was only considering. Teo, LGR, Bichette, Biggio, Springer and a hypothetical Brantley.
  8. In a 162 game season, Grichuk will be great for 60-80 games, the other half he sucks. That is my issue, his consistency or lack of. When he is on, he reduces his Ks and keeps the strike zone tight. When he sucks, he is Kng like a bastard. He does not play plus D. The good players all have slumps, but they are able to provide a more consistent product then just a streaky guy who's streaks inflate his numbers but is negative WAR when sucking 50% of the time.. IMO
  9. Gentleman, there is no fighting allowed in here, this is the War room!
  10. I think maybe top 5/6 Mets, Dodgers, San Diego, CWS and Yankees would be ahead or close to us IMO. Also, if we end up trading a Teo or LGR if we add Brantley, then no. We need to have all those guys.
  11. As to Biggio, I said he A) Has the speed I think he has the instincts to run good routes since he played WR in high school. I don't know how good he would be, I think he can def do it. We saw s*** D from guys we would expect to play good D in the playoffs.. I wouldn't expect gold glove from guys we don't expect. Rays baseball and the Rays vs Dodgers WS showed how important D is, and how deadly it is giving an extra out etc.. Not fair to our pitchers to have Vlad at 3B when none of our other IFs are anywhere near Gold Glove... Kills our pitchers..
  12. Vlad coming up from AAA didn't look great there, before fat Vlad and now "skinny" Vlad. Is he skinnier than when he came up from AAA, or just skinnier then fat Vlad.. Regardless.. I really don't want him at 3B...
  13. For now, I agree.. But once Martin, Groshans and others arrive, something needs to bend.. I would try to get something from Grichuk now or at least have someone take on his salary even if zero return, until waiting last moment and trying to shop him and nada..
  14. Professional front offices use metrics to determine how to improve the team. Those were not my words, they came from our FO and I agree 100%. You don't want to take one step fwd and two steps back. The 2015 team was something like plus 125 runs scored at the All Star break, but two games under 500. You need run prevention and D to win and win in the playoffs, not just offense. IMO putting Vlad at 3b would be a horrible move contrary to every KPI and objective for this team.
  15. My choice would be sign Semien vs Brantley, play Semien at SS, Bo at 2b, Biggio at 3B, Teo, LGR Springer OF, Tellez 1B and Vlad at DH... Dump Grichuk and make space for young guns in future.
  16. The goal of the off season was run prevention via improved D and pitching. Putting Vlad at 3b is 100% contrary to that objective.
  17. Agree, much rather Semien buy low coming off a bad season if we are getting another IF.
  18. Something like this... The team still needs more pitching regardless of Springer and we also get Brantley.. We have no use for Grichuk anymore..
  19. Jose Quintana just went to the Angels.. So he is out.. Not that I care..
  20. $10 million, that aint s***! Take $25 million we making it rain biiitches!
  21. Now pitching, pitching and pitching! PS: Trade Grichuk.
  22. I say we beat the Mets by at least $10 million IF a done deal..
  23. If you are talking a 5-6 year contract, money only makes a difference if significantly more. Not like the Mets have s***** facilities and they have the "It" new owner and they are the new "It" team, even with the dick pick blip..
  24. I have always had a rule that after 40 unreturned messages, I just give up..
