OT: 2023 MLB Thread

Mets transferred the Wilpon loser energy to San Francisco

[Kane One]

You mean our #4. José Quintana is our #3.

I wish Spector still covered the Rangers.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

verlander won the cy young last year and hes only on a two year deal, even if he regresses from last year the guy had a 1.75 era last year, so he regresses to a 2.75? i mean we both know that cohen is going to go hard for ohtani to replace one of them.....im just not as concerned

I think even 2.75 is really optimistic.

 

[sbjnyc]

Just wait till he signs Shohei Otani next year.

It'll be awesome when it happens after Heyman tweets that the Giants signed him.

I think even 2.75 is really optimistic.

On what basis?

 

[Machinehead]

On what basis?

He's 40 and his career ERA is half a run higher than that.

The year he had last year is not a year people have too often.

Judge hit 62 homeruns and it would be optimistic to expect 50.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

It'll be awesome when it happens after Heyman tweets that the Giants signed him.


On what basis?

Hes 40 and threw a shade under 200 IP (both playoffs and regular season combined) coming off of TJ after not throwing at all for a year. That bounce back is going to hit him.

Plus no more magic Houston pixie dust. If you can get end of the Detroit era Verlander at this stage you should be happy.

 

[JimmyG89]

Kid is going to push for a spot on the roster this year, either in spring or in the season.

Him getting some reps at 3rd is good too. That's where he could end up. Him or Baty will be at 3rd for this team for the long term.

I may need to rethink this one lol. This is something that very few have pulled off in getting Correa. Now, Baty has also been a LF, and that could be a spot where he and Canha platoon a bit. Mauricio really has no spot now. He's going to be the biggest trade chip that they use.

 

[Kocur26]

No

Nothing cleanses the pallet of a tough Ranger loss like waking up to the Correa news. NY Baseball at the center of the universe as it should be. Subway World Series coming



If Correa signed with the Yankees you wouldve made 3 threads about it

Yankee fans can’t stand that asshole

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Reports are that the Mets are still looking to add at least another bat and another BP arm.

 

[Rangers in 7]

Check his playoff ERA

2018- 4.15
2019- 4.33
2022- 5.85

ahh yes his playoff era means hes going to break down lol

 

[rangersfansince08]

ahh yes his playoff era means hes going to break down lol

the mets are making the playoffs regardless of Verlander but I don't see the appeal of a guy who sucks in the playoffs.

 

[Rangers in 7]

It doesn't but I don't see the appeal of a guy who sucks in the playoffs

guy has two world series rings, im sure he would disagree with you

judge has a .211 average in the playoffs, i guess the yankees should dump him too

 

[rangersfansince08]

He had nothing to do with the second one. Unless his 5.85 ERA was instrumental in that run.

 

[Rangers in 7]

so using your own thought process you should void judge's contract because hes not a playoff performer

I'm not the biggest Judge fan for that reason but the Yankeess are barely(maybe not even) a playoff team without him. Also its more likely Judge has a good playoff run one of these years than Verlander having one imo

without judge the yankees dont make the playoffs and without verlander the astros may not be in a position to be where they are

for 2 years im not worried about verlander breaking down to the point of not being an ace on the team

people saying all of a sudden hes going to be a +3 era guy are out of their minds....he becomes more injury prone he doesnt forget how to pitch

Have to get Liam Hendriks and dump McCant and Rough. Then the offseason is perfect

 

[SA16]

I guess Verlander's years where he had a 2.22, 0.39, and 2.21 ERA in the playoffs don't count. Or he used to be a playoff performer and now he's not? And it's not just that in a sample of 3-5 starts if you have a bad start or two it ruins your ERA?

nit picking stats never happens here on HF board

i think they are going to get hendricks

See now that OTOH would be a great move.

 

[Rangers in 7]

my guess is mccann and vientos for hendricks

 

[SA16]

Hendriks had a 9.00 ERA in his last playoff run. Not interested.

 

[pld459666]

Not a Mets fan, but every owner should be this willing to spend to bring in a winner.

Good for Mets fans.

If the price was only McCann (and assuming eating 75% of his salary) and Vientos (as proposed above), I'd take that in a millisecond.
