Forgot who did this, but who was the poster that created an Excel file with the 2022 roster and their salaries? I think you were able to add in moves and salaries and sort of build your own roster for next year. If anyone has it saved, can someone share it? Big thanks in advance.

If they did it a month or so ago, sure. Not now.

And now he appears to be a expensive platoon player next year.

Yep. At this point, since we know they won’t come back, I want them to finish under .500 10+ games behind the Guardians.

It shouldn't have stopped him from adding good pieces, not just complimentary role players to the core.

Yeah that is true. Can't really assume they would have left them in the minors like other organizations would have for those couple of weeks. I used to say they only got 1 extra year of control from those deals but now I look back and think he would have made the team. So it would have been 6 years instead of close to 7 years of control.

I loved the extensions thinking they would also make great additions around them with the money saved getting them cheaper early. We skipped the part of the rebuild where you get the core to the majors and then add a star caliber player when everyone is on the cheap side. Doesn’t even have to be star caliber but a good all around player or two.

Correct.

Don't even bother now. In fact, IL Robert and Grandal and bring up Payton and Perez. f*** it.

Cool. That’s doesn’t make him wrong.

There were rumors before the injury that Vaughn was going to make that team.

I don't know, they have a history of either signing guys to deals before Opening Day or putting them on the roster day 1 like Vaughn. Vaughn was making that 2021 opening day roster regardless of the Eloy injury. Mercedes was the one who benefited from that injury. The injury is what opened the door for Vaughn to play LF instead of DH/1B only.

Coming back to this, also figure out if he needs surgery or something and get that done and let him heal. Waiting weeks and weeks and weeks has clearly not been helping.

This should have happened weeks ago.

We have to continue trudging through this.

Well, basically 6 back now. Let's take today and tomorrow for the start of a 10-game win streak.

Yep. It was an awful call the moment it was made. No hindsight needed.

Wow wtf

Hey that may be fine with me too. I don’t care how good his defense is if his hitting is like this. Didn’t give him that extension to just field.

I never do anymore. Hope he comes back better next year.

My “not really” was for the “nice season” part of your comment haha

This. We would have to finish ahead of them in standings. Needed a sweep to get the tiebreaker.

Not really but yeah, this feels over.

Still trying to wrap my head around the Lambert move.

Wow what a break. Andrus technically 0-2 on the exact same play in under a week lol
