Brandon Nimmo resigns with Mets 8yrs 162M
The Beast replied to maxjusttyped's topic in Pale Hose Talk
The amount of money isn’t unreasonable for Nimmo. But the amount of years given to free agents now is crazy. -
It’s okay, he’s the starting right fielder until Colas is up.
-
Yeah…it’s more of a joke that was mentioned on morning talk shows like the Mix in Chicago. It was making fun of dbags and nice guys who lose their s%*# every once in a while. They called it a comma.
-
I don’t want to trade him and was happy we got him for a variety of reasons. To fill holes I would love to package Sheets and Graveman as opposed to Hendriks, but it sounds like Hendriks is who teams want. I posted one tweet from him and was trying to demonstrate that he misunderstood that there is a need to trade if there is budget constraints as opposed to a want to trade. I’d love to see a resurgence amongst players that had a down year. I’d also love the Sox to do the bolded and re-allocate resources spent from a position of strength to areas of need. Something I tried to explain to Shane Riordan. So if Anderson is staying and Hendriks ends up staying, there may only be small acquisitions to fill out the roster. Let’s hope things change in a matter of a few weeks. Haha no, it’s when nice guys temporarily become jerks and when dbags turn up the volume on being jerks. Since I read the board on my phone, I thought your avatar looked like John Munch from Law and Order: SVU
-
Think about his anger and passive aggressiveness and a certain time of the month but for a man. He’s putting a thought out there without thinking about it. We shouldn’t care but he should know damn well why they need to move someone rather than want to move someone.
-
Seems like Shane is on his comma again and doesn’t understand we don’t want them to but they might have to because of budget constraints.
-
That all makes sense and is logical. I would prefer Graveman be the one who who is dealt, but Hendriks might be the dude who is more in demand. I’d rather split the difference and acquire a rookie outfielder and keep one of the high priced relievers. I guess these are the consequences that they face with how they have allocated resources in years past. It seems like the board might be in agreement with coming to accept a quiet offseason instead of spending their way out of the hole they are in.
-
-
Then who are they going to trade to make this team better and not create holes? And why the f*** were we throwing Sheets’ name around to be dealt last offseason?
-
Just make moves to improve this team. It looks a little light with Abreu gone.
-
Thanks for the analysis. Sheets should be dealt for a piece they need and I am sure they could sign someone to be a bench or depth piece. I can get on board with Colas, but can they win with him developing in the majors or does it make sense to invest in another established hitter to go along with Colas? Wishful thinking is they trade Sheets for a starting pitcher or catcher, sign someone to play right, put Colas in left and start Eloy at DH. But we all know what they will do… My money is on Eloy being in left and that I’ll be disappointed we don’t use resources for an everyday right fielder. JR needs to take a risk and pony up to sign a multi year contract on an every day player rather than have his GM go dumpster diving.
-
Any quants on here want to talk me off a ledge regarding the Sox not replacing Abreu with anyone except Vaughn and how they could go with a platoon in right field (Sheets and Colas) instead of investing in an every day player?
-
Do we trust them to improve the team with productive players in other areas of need, like an actual right fielder and not a platoon player with Sheets?
-
Abreu’s power numbers may be in decline, but the dude is a RBI machine. I hope Vaughn can replicate what Abreu did in his career and that the Sox can replace Abreu’s production with an actual outfielder they acquire. Clevinger can’t be their only addition this offseason with still so many holes to fill.
-
I’m glad the will of the people is still there. I hope that they can remain resilient throughout the winter and that they get the aid and weapons they need. Hopefully there won’t be politics with the aid given to Ukraine in 2023. Today I donated to an organization that will help with repairing infrastructure and assisting with heating this winter.
-
I’m not sure if they should have given him that kind of money for those years. The Rodon decision was a dumb one and maybe the Abreu one made more sense. But I remain concerned they won’t improve the roster with acquiring someone to replace Abreu’s production. I’m not sold the internal options will be able to do that yet.
-
I think he could be Hillenmeyer or Kwiatkowski.
-
And yet the consensus here was to let Abreu walk. Nobody seemed to care about the consequences. I will miss guys that actually play a full season. And I still think they are going to miss his production even at what Houston signed him. I am sure someone will come back and show me the analytics, but I think his power numbers will recover and the Sox will regret not bringing him back UNLESS they made the necessary moves to improve the roster.
-
My blame goes to the defense giving up 31 and the amount of penalties they had. Fields’ INT wasn’t great. He needs to get better at throwing down the field instead of just evading people, even though that is a huge part of his game. I’ll take these losses that are close and hope there is improvement with an actual fully stocked team next year.
-
Probably. But I would like to see further punishment from Silver if he continues to be a dbag about his beliefs from the documentary. Even in his late apology, there are certain things he agrees with. He should outline what those things are so fans can know where he stands. But I think many have made up their minds on Kyrie and an apology can’t fix what he said and believes.
-
Suspended at least five games today. I’m hoping for more so that Kyrie will start to get it. It might be too much to ask for him to understand though.
-
I am glad that talking heads on Twitter were wrong again and that their “reporting” was nothing more than a waste of time. I don’t have much to go off of when it comes to hiring Pedro Grifol. The positives include that he seems to understand analytics, he comes from a division opponent that has kicked our ass from time to time, he will get input on a new coaching staff and they didn’t hire someone from within or with ties to the organization. The negative comes from the fact that they didn’t hire someone with recent post season experience. I would have liked to know why they didn’t hire Espada, Mendoza or Long. But that point is moot now. The success of his managerial career depends on reshaping this roster.
-
I thought I heard Dan Bernstein say Ozzie had a 5 1/2 hour long interview during Bernstein and Holmes today. Not sure who his source is.
-
I thought they would get more too, but without knowing the market I would take a 4th. The salary cap room for next year looks good for the Bears though.
-
Bernstein is working on that but doesn’t know that yet. Carlos Beltran was mentioned by someone they interviewed in the last segment but I missed who that was.
