Victor Caratini Backup catcher in Milwaukee Just turned 30 Free Agent Expected Salary: 3 million Switch hitter. .745 ops against righties .611...
Here's why I want to trade for a decent 1B/C: Abreu plays better with rest. He should get routine rest and DH reps. Here's the balance I'm...
1.000 OPS in AAA this year. Has barely played in big leagues due to injuries since his ROY. Giving up our #7-8 starter is fair value. Low cost...
If Arenado hadn't dipped in production we couldn't afford him. The money would nearly be half covered. If you're paying 15 million per year for...
Just spit balling here... To Cardinals: JP France Rafael Montero Kendall Gravemen To Astros: Nolan Arenado Zack Thompson We replace Gravemen...
Here are some names I like. None of them are perfect... Trade: Kyle Lewis Josh Bell Nolan Arenado Free Agents: Brandon Belt Lourdes Gurriel...
What about JP France to Arizona for Kyle Lewis? Lewis destroyed AAA this year but only 50 PAs in mlb. He's a possible CF option to improve...
Not replacing McCormick. I'm replacing Brantley/Julks/Meyers. That's 721 plate appearances with a combined OPS of .660. That's data downloaded...
I think people are too negative. Look at the 2nd rate teams who made the series. As bad as we feel, what about Philly? Atlanta? LA? Baltimore?...
We need a bat. Give me a better one we can afford. Pena fell on his face offensively. Gice me a better offensive option. I'm ok with saving...
Fascinating. Tell me a free agent shortstop for around 10 million or less that might hit better than Pena.
Again, you're looking at Tim Anderson of 2023. You can't afford Tim Anderson of 2022. It's called a calculated risk. I'm well aware of the...
Just throwing at the wall... Cardinals lack closer... To Cardinals: Ryan Pressly Hunter Brown To Astros: Paul Goldschmidt Zack Thompson Lefty...
Perfect world we get a guy like Evan Gattis for backup catcher and 1B who can routinely rest Abreu and Diaz. Ideally a better defender... hard to...
He's a buy low guy on a prove it deal. That's the Astros budget. If he was a free agent a year ago he is probably getting 5 years and 65 million...
I disagree. You're assuming worst case scenario and not most likely. Yes, Lourdes is limited... didn't seem to bother yordan. If lourdes DHs and...
Here's how I'm seeing it... if it were me... 2B Jose Altuve SS Tim Anderson 3B Alex Bregman DH Yordan Alvarez RF Kyle Tucker C Yainer Diaz 1B...
Sure, and it displays how little they follow the game.
Seems like it. I'm all for the argument that Maldonado's game calling skills saves so many more runs than he costs with his bat. I just don't...
The fault I put with dusty... Any time someone is tossing like Brown or France, you need a Maton or Neris ready to enter by the 3rd batter. You...
