DONT HASSLE THE HOZ


now down to -0.8 fWAR. It's a disastrous year for faux-hawk. Just cracked 100k....and it's July 25. (He K 104, 132, 108, 93 his last 4 full seasons here). K rate has gone from 16.9% to 23.2%.


He's now 157th most valuable regular out of 161. Alshittys is one of the 4 shittier players btw. And Hoz defensive metrics? Still shit! So we can drop the tired excuse he "guarded the line" a lot late in our games cause our bullpen was so good.



One last thing: he's 1st of 161 regulars in GB/Fly ratio. 3.56x

The KC #Royals say they have no intention in trading starter Danny Duffy, and plan to keep him in KC.

I really hope this is just a negotiating tactic and not their true intent.

Wonder who's going to be taking Moustakas to the prom.

duncan_idaho 07-25-2018 09:40 AM

Level of interest for Moustakas is only a good thing. Should inflate the price a bit, though I still wouldn’t expect anything huge.

Something along the Britton/Herrera lines seems likely to me, but JmO.

I'm one of those guys that believe "if it's not broke, don't fix it". I like the results from the five starters since the all star break;

Duffy
Junis
Keller
Filmyer
B. Smith.

Three rookies and a second year guy. Duffy is the veteran.
I'd ride this until one of them falls apart.

But what's the point in holding on to a valuable asset when clearly the entire team is broken? Duffy's almost 30, do we really think he's going to headline our rotation by the time we're competitive again? Heck, he's probably a free agent by the time we're any good. There's also a high chance of him finally breaking down or at least declining with age before we're competitive, so I'd rather get a good return while we have a chance. Of course you don't trade him if you get shitty offers.

I'd be pleased with a similar return to what we got for Herrera considering many people didn't really expect much of a market for Moose.

You make good points. But, if there is any chance that Duffy is having an affect on those other four young starters, in my opinion, he'd be worth keeping. And, it's not like Duffy has to be traded during this season or even this off season. You could trade him July of 2019.

They better listen for Duffy or try to trade him in the off-season

CaliforniaChief 07-25-2018 10:08 AM

I like Duffy, but I don't trust him. If someone pays up, I'll take it.

Spiked into the ground straight to the 2B probably.

I would absolutely listen to trades for both Duffy and Perez in the offseason.

We won't be anywhere close to being ready to compete before both of these guys lose the majority of their value in the next 3 years. Clear the entire board and start over.

Perhaps, I just saw a comparison on Twitter that showed them being pretty similar, with Herrera having a better track record of staying healthy.

Fangraphs says the 2 they got were 40 future value (scale of 80). Just as Gutierrez and Perkins were. Same damn trade.

What if the Yankees came calling for Perez in the next few days? With Sanchez's issues, you have to wonder if they might be in the mood for an upgrade at that position.
