  1. Woo is taking a beating, tonight. Not much to report. Arias has homered for POR, while Ziehl got lit up. GRE is locked up in a low scoring battle. Ingrassia went 3.2- 2- 0- 2- 4. SAL won 12-2. Finley went 5 (4H 1ER 1BB 5K) The top 6 batters plus the #9 all had 2 hits. The team stole 6 bases and walked 6 times with 14 hits.
  2. Don't look now, but our top 4 and 5 of top 6 in the batting order are all over .700.
  3. He had a really good season on our farm, last year too.
  4. I did not think Bregman was the big bat we needed. I'm glad we didn't get him at even close to what the Cubs paid. My point was not that it was a mistake from my view. It was a mistake from their view as it was the stated goal for the off season. Durbin is not a big bat, and IMO, neither was Bregman. I'd prefer Durbin & Suarez over Bregman, but we still needed another big bat- somehow- from somewhere.
  5. A better answer might have been: "There's a reason he was left unprotected."
  6. No, but he's 200 points better than Durbin and balances the OF/IF unbalnce.
  7. I really liked the Willson signing. We just needed another big bat and did not get it. This isn't just my opinion. The Sox stated that was their goal, too.
  8. I'm glad we didn't pay Bregman, but he was clearly their #1 plan. My point was two-fold: 1. Had we signed him, he would not have filled the big bat need (first mistake) 2. They missed out getting him and settled on Durbin and a pitching upgrade: mistake #2 on failing to fill the big bat eed.
  9. Word in HOU was they'd have take Duran 1 for 1, but the Sox wanted more.
  10. .698 is over 200 points better than Durbin.
  11. It looks that way, but we must have taken him for some reason.
