  1. True, but his 2018 post-ASB and postseason numbers were not very pretty either.
  2. The problem is those better human umps will never materialize. These guys are doing their best, I assume. They're not trying to suck.
  3. The idea of trading a solid young everyday player for a reliever makes me gag. The fact that said reliever is having a horrible season doesn't help, of course...
  4. The team doesn't need a shakeup IMO. They've been playing better, but the pitching continues to disappoint. That's not going to be fixed today.
  5. As I've said elsewhere, I think that in general, trading Benintendi would be nutty. And the return here looks pretty shaky.
  6. It has been bizarre. I only have 2 hopes: 1) We get a reliever; 2) Yankee fans are really pissed off at the end of the day.
  7. Not me. I don't know much about Smith, but at a glance his defensive numbers look pretty wretched.
  8. jung could write a book about how baseball sucks now. In fact, he already has, if you just cobble together his posts from this year.
  9. Nah, the simulator isn't greedy, it just wants another player with $11.3 mill of Surplus Trade Value.
  10. Computers are there to crank out data, but humans still have to make the decisions, for better or worse. With Dave Dombrowski and Tony Larussa, I think we've still got a little old school thinking going on, for better or worse.
  11. Calm down, armchair wizard. Moreland has an .845 OPS, 13 homers and 38 RBI in only 52 games. He had 2 RBI's last night.
  12. Which shows the limited value of such simulations. Would anyone in their right mind trade Benintendi for Diaz (plus $11.3 million more of theoretical trade value) right now? I'm sure Dave Dombrowski would have a good laugh at the idea.
  13. Good thing Max was just heaping the sarcasm.
  14. You guys sure run things differently these days. Very conservative. Doing things like passing on Keuchel over 1.5 million.
  15. Trading him would be nutty. We have Betts and JBJ free agents after 2020. We have no promising outfielders in the system.
  16. But they have been winning games. They're 15-8 in July. I think that's how the FO is probably looking at it.
  17. I think it's quite possible the Sox front office is now looking at the team as being a solid Wild Card contender and not much more. Statistically, the chances of catching the Yanks are very small. As a Wild Card contender you have a 'puncher's chance'. But you're not going to go overboard on further investment in the team.
  18. Plus, his head may not be in the right place, and getting traded to Boston right now is probably not going to help.
  19. I highly doubt the Sox trade a regular. I expect a modest trade for a reliever and that's it.
  20. That wouldn't make any sense because the Mets and everyone else knows our need is bullpen help.
  21. If the Yankees do not land a quality starter, Cashman is going to be taking some serious heat from NYY media and fans.
  22. Personally I think the (Woody) Harrelson family may be involved at some level.
  23. The Red Sox obviously like having a right handed bat available off the bench. Hernandez has done very well, but he's kind of redundant with Holt also playing well.
