Sorry was character limited but particularly meant defensively. Even if he's the same hitter for a 3rd year in a row he can be meaningfully better than Taylor via his defense and speed, and his defensive metrics in 24 seem to be outlier given a modest rebound last year

Yea i guess i just dont necessarily think worst case is no better than Taylor, Fangraphs has him posting a 1.3 WAR last year to Taylor's 0.8, and the worst projections have him at 1.8 this year. Could be that projections aren't capturing his meteoric fall properly, but his '24 also seems outlier

You'd think though if it were an injuries thing that would show up in declining athleticism, but the sprint speed, range, bat speed are still there and haven't seemingly changed much from his good years. Feels like the Mets think they can gamble on approach or tweaks to the process elements

Seriously the Dodgers had the fifth-best record in baseball last year. I’m not looking at their World Series odds but they can’t be more than like 20%. Don’t be a whiny baby.

Thanks for explaining. I’ll have to try it out!

I think Baz is a better bet to get them more innings in the next 2 seasons, which is probably where their heads are at with it.

Their level of aggression this winter makes me think bringing someone like an Eflin or Sugano back on a 1 year pillow and figuring it out in spring feels quite likely , on top of a Valdez / Imai

Don’t think you can feel happy going into the season with Kittridge as your 2nd best reliever. Last year he was thought to be what, 4th behind Felix, Cano, Dominguez? In the mix with Baker and Soto? They still need a high leverage lefty and another Dominguez/Baker type, IMO

2003 was when I first really started paying attention to MLB as a child, and I remember being in awe at the O's upgrading from Deivi Cruz to Tejada and Geronimo Gil to Javy. Childhood me thought that was going to be the norm... lol

Have Bucky, Tucker, Tez, and kam Johnson in dynasty (return yards are super valuable) and have no idea what to do with any of them this week

This (OP) is such a bizarre take because a) the surface level reaction to this move is transparently that Elias is “losing”, so seeming smart is not the angle, and b) this move is so far away from his typical MO that I really can’t bring myself to relate this in any way to typical Elias bashing

What did I miss on Grayson? Seems like this idea he could go to the pen popped out of nowhere, but seen a number of real O’s media guys kicking it around. Did the team say something to that effect?
