Sure, they may take him but not for anything of value. No GM is going to trade a solid major league player for a guy who has had multiple major shoulder injuries and has barely been able to pitch the last 3 years.

You could get Scott Feldman for him.

That is incorrect. The contract you are referring to runs from 2011-2015.

Not that paying him 1.245M is much different then paying 550K.

It's a major league contract. It cannot be cut more than 15% (IIRC). At one time the bonus was also included in figuring our the AAV that could be reduced. That led to an issue with Guthrie. If that is still true, his contact next season will be at least $1.6 million.

Hah. Thanks for the laugh. Thome? By that logic Paredes was an overpay since we gave up money.

Plenty of people considered the Thome trade a big overpay. The C, can't think of his name now(Rosa?), didn't amount to anything, but based in where he was at the time, and what we were getting, it's another example of DD getting the short end of the stick in a trade.

Gabriel Lino? Maybe, just maybe, the scouts told DD that he wasn't probably going to amount to much. Hence why they traded him for Thome. So according to you, he some how got the short end of the stick even though there years later we still got more value out of the trade. Got it.

Pretty hard to have a discussion with you If you are going to use a different definition of overpay compared to everyone else. Basically to you every trade has been an overpay, so can you name some that weren't?

Huh? What value did we get? He was worth less than replacement level.

Cough *Norris* cough.

Cough *Eveland* cough.

Cough *Feldman* cough.

Got something stuck in my throat.

I don't remember what we gave up for Eveland nor do I need to... we overpaid.

Feldman ended up being an overpay since Arrieta and Strop both ended up doing big things in Chicago. I'd really love to have Arrieta in the rotation these days. Then again, we had given him chance after chance. I don't think he blossoms the way he has without the change in scenery. But I didn't disagree with the trade at the time and again, I had given up on Arrieta and Strop was just a reliever.

But for how horrible Norris has been this year, he was pretty good last year and he was serviceable in 2013. The draft pick was the worst thing we lost. But Hoes has been playing mostly in AAA this year and doesn't project as anything better than a yo-yo (AAA - MLB) kind of guy for a bad team. Josh Hader is still an unknown (and was even more of a wild card in 2013).

Serviceable in 2013?

He had an 86 ERA+ with the O's, 1.678 WHIP.

He was pretty bad in 2013.

Lino and Simon were both very limited assets. Very.

      Was the offense just in a run of bad luck on this road trip?

      By BRobinsonfan · Posted

      I would add that Mountcastle and Urias were also losses to the offense.  Throw in a couple of slumps to our other regulars, creating 4-5 weak spots in the offense, and that's a lot to overcome.  I don't discount the mental part of hitting, but I do think most of our problems are directly linked to the rash of injuries we've suffered.

      Just my opinion. ZiPS projects him for a .708 OPS next year and I'd bet on the under. I think he's a .230/.295/.395 hitter with a below average glove. A Rio Ruiz type of player.

      We have to keep Irvin "pumped up."  When he's "deflated" he's just no good.  🤣

      There just seems to be some sort of disconnect between upper management, coaching and the players right now. Do I know that for sure? Obviously no. But with the dropoff we've seen in offensive production something is off here. They literally have been mediocre since the All Star break. And the only big loss on the offensive side is Westburg.

      Heston Kjerstad 2024

      There are no answers, only Zuul. But seriously, I think the issue at play here is we look at the body of work of guys like Eloy, Slater, O'Hearn, Rivera, and (to a lesser extent) Soto, you see where the holes are. I get that O'Hearn was thrust into 1B near FT due to the Mountcastle injury, but that didn't explain Hyde from playing O'Hearn in the OF when he is one of the worst defensive OFers on this team. Right now, this team is very much ailing. Ramon coming back will definitely help spell the need for O'Hearn to be a 1B by maybe letting Rivera play over there.  We need to get back to a point where O'Hearn is only hitting against righties and is playing sparingly in the field. Eloy is a liability at this point. I was a proponent of seeing what mechanical tweaks they could make similar to what they did w/ Hicks (and even O'Hearn!) and they did catch lightning in a bottle maybe due to excitement/adrenaline and BABIP being unsustainably high, but right now his flyballs aren't carrying and his groundballs aren't finding holes, so there's probably a reason why Chicago is saying, "Haha, told you so!" This team is in freefall offensively, at this point...just give the ABs to Mayo. You can't simultaneously say, "He needs to make adjustments!" and then let him have 5 ABs over 5 games. That isn't a way to grow a player. Not everybody can be a part time player and be effective off the bench/sparingly. Kjerstad has shown an ability to hit lefties in the minors as well as in the majors (albeit in very limited time, he his 4 for 10 against them). Let the kid play. Slater has fallen off a cliff, but at least he's a solid defensive OFer I get it, nobody is going to solve the offensive woes of this team when it comes to the rookies/young guys. Mayo, Holliday, Kjerstad, even Cowser...they're all still adjusting. The change needs to come from the main stays. Now, Adley is starting to hit, Gunnar is back on a hitting binge, but this lineup desperately needs some consistent production from Tony to go along with it because right now way too much pressure is being put on the bottom of the lineup and the young guys. And I'm not convinced Westy solves any of those issues as wrist injuries are a beast to bounceback from quickly.

      I get the desire to poo-poo analytics and advanced data, etc.  It does get obnoxious hearing about statcast pages in red when guys aren't hitting well.   But more obnoxious are cries of "the old eye test" and "old school" and the other various "yelling at cloud" types of arguments.  If everyone was stuck with the way things were done back in the day, we'd never progress and never advance in any area of life or society.  That includes how we look at and discuss baseball.

      If the above is true, how do you get a team to deliver timely hits, stop pressing, and quite expecting to lose?
