  1. My prediction would be 2 year extension for 12-14 million.
  2. I was just accused of looking at the stat line so you know his age is a stat I am familiar with. A 30 year old is not disqualified from making a team next year. Frankly...I would have loved to be watching any and all possibilities instead of Reed and Alonso.
  3. Yeah...it's one of the things I look at. Also try to read what I can. If you watch the minor league games I guess you would have a better feel for it.
  4. I like this. Been curious to see Skole in action. How we handle the DH next year.might be impacted if he can produce.
  5. Reed in and Alonso out is the only explanation.
  6. Wheeler showed us why he should be on the radar. Cole would be great but the Wheeler types would do very nicely.
  7. Obviously not a good series. The starts by Lopez, Gio and Cease are the good to take away from an otherwise awful series. Next year this will be a distant memory.
  8. Good move. We took a look at Reed...didn't work out...move on.
  9. Gets walks while hitting over .300 and doesn't strike out...sounds like plate discipline to me.
  10. I will enjoy watching a player with plate discipline.
  11. I believe in growing your own or trading to get your stars and using free agency to solidify your weak spots. Grandal, Wheeler, Wood & Gennett would be outstanding gets. When you add guys like this to Robert & Madrigal plus adding back Kopech, Rodon & Dunning...that club contends. A guy like Cole would be nice but not a necessity to contend. I have never been a fan of putting to much resource into one player. You only have so much payroll even if you are the Yankees. If the FO is expanding the payroll by let say 100 million...I would rather get a package of players like you suggest.
  12. Another 2 or 3 weeks in the Spring and he should be ready for the big show.
  13. The last two games showcased the outstanding pitching of Lopez and Giolito. For the next two months the performances of the future core players is what we have to cheer. Eloy & Anderson...not so much.
  14. Madrigal was promoted to triple A today. Not long now boys.
  15. Now this is a case of Jerry's loyalty to employee's leaving a good impression in my mind.
  16. I hope not. Mutual agreement on an extension or goodbye Jose.
  17. With Moncada out and no new toys to talk about...this is going to be a dull couple of weeks.
  18. RH made the decision to ask for and receive the moon or use Colome for our own run in 2020. Seems reasonable to me. Don't get me wrong...I wanted in on the action but RH is probably right in this inaction.
  19. I said more than a month ago that what the FO did today would show us their intentions for 2020. The only reason to keep Colome, Bummer & Abreu is if we are contending next year. RH now has this off season to show my faith in him is warranted.
  20. I expect Colome to be traded by the time I come down for breakfast tomorrow.
  21. I'm surprised I haven't seen more of this rumor...seem like an obvious fit.
  22. This is my view as well. Baseball agrees to the rules...we play by them. Not much to argue about IMO.
  23. I don't know anything about Bader but his stat line looks like he could be Adam Engle.
