    Sale is a close call and may need a season or two good seasons to get him in. I think Evans belongs. I think the reason he's not in is because he never really had an amazing season. Never hit 35 HRs in a season. While he led the league in OPS, twice, he only got as high as 3rd in an MVP vote. To me, consistent excellent play on O and D deserves the Hall, I think many voters want to see the best of the best for at least a season or two. Evans only dipped below .745 twice in his 20 year career: year 2 at .703 (328 PAs) and season 19 at .740. (522 PAs.) He had a 130 OPS+ from year 3 to year 18 (16 seasons.) Every season between .750 and .990. OPS+ 110 year 1-5 (age 20-24) 126 year 6-10 (age 25-29) 133 year 11-15 (age 30-34) 133 year 16-20 (age 35-39) He got better with age. fWAR: 30.4 first 10 seasons (ranked 36th in MLB) 34.7 last 10 years (ranked 21st) His best 10 years was 1979-1988 at 43.7 (11th ranked)

    Some lower level or lower ranked prospects are doing well: #25 Luke Heyman .878 #27 Mason White .863 #29 Garielvin Silverio .740 #31 Dylan Brown .646 OPSA in 61 IP #32 Dawvris Brito homered and is now at 1.090 ($1.2M bonus as IFA in Jan 2026) #33 Brooks Brannon ,899 #34 Jo Garcia .822 #35 Y Rod .774 #36 Isaiah Jackson 3 for 5 tonight (.733) #37 Louis Andujar (promoted to SAL .724) #39 Gage Ziehl 3.94 in 64 IP #40 Jack Winnay .896 #41 Barrett Morgan .508 OPSA #46 Jojo Ingrassia .622 OPSA #47 Maximus Martin homered, too and is at 1.274 (10th rd in '25) #53 Adonys Guzman .792 #56 Jorge Rodrigues is at .921 (IFA 2024) #58 Devin Futrell .606 OPSA (63K:9BB in 56IP)

    MIA is up 7-1 on ATH in the 9th. Assuming the A's lose... ___ TEX (Last WC) -2.0 HOU -2.5 MIN -3.0 TOR -3.5 BAL -4.0 ATH -5.0 BOS -6.0 DET The Sox are closing some gaps, but it's been a long time being a bottom 4 team in the worst league in recent history.

    Last 4 weeks: 6.04 ERA/1.209 WHIP Harrison 3.42 ERA/1.329 WHIP Drohan .727 OPS DHam ___________________ 1.001 OPS Durbin .928 OPS Seigler (before tonight) (The guy pitching instead of Harrison/Drohan: Bennett: 2.67/0.824)
  5. moonslav59
    Forget Durbin- gimmie some Seigler!
  6. moonslav59
    This can't be the 2026 Sox with 6 walks drawn.
  7. moonslav59
    Is Contreras a better player when angry or stressed out?
  8. moonslav59
    Missing Romy might have been more harmful that we thoguht.
  9. moonslav59
    He should wear a glove on both hands, and drop one when he fields with the other.
  10. moonslav59
    Agree. I hardly ever watch it. Often times, I don't even check the box score.
  11. moonslav59
    We can actually add any position player to get the big bat we need, and hopefully we get 2 or 3 of 'em. The only blocked position is 1B, and he turns 35 next May. One could DH for a year or two or share 1B/DH. I'm assuming we trade or bench Duran,Story and Yoshida for 2027, so that frees up OF/DH, too.
  12. moonslav59
    Becoming a .780 hitter makes it easier to swallow.
  13. moonslav59
    At least he didn't make up positions other held and knew how to read.
  14. moonslav59
    By cost, I meant $$$ and players/prospects in trade vs just $$$ for BLowe. BTW, KMartes AAV gets adjusted when traded.
  15. moonslav59
    That's why AS designations are viewed with skepticism by many. Same as GG Awards and the like.

    Song got roughed up in Woo's 6-5 loss, but Samaniego pitched well. Ward and Gasper had 2 hits. GRE is blasting off, tonight. 5 HRs- 2 by Cespedes. SAL got a rare win 1-0.

    softlaw the clown? Others called him worse. Those were the days, for sure. Having rings scattered between the years helped. One of the best songs has this ending... Don't you love farce? My fault, I fear I thought that you'd want what I want Sorry, my dear But where are the clowns? Don't bothеr, they're herе Quick, send in the clowns

    Welcome aboard.
  19. moonslav59
    I'm far from giving up on him, but we need to add a serious middle infielder- more for Story than Mayer.

    BLowe is way cheaper than KMarte. KMarte was better a few years back. He turns 33 this October. BLowe turns 32 in a couple days. OPS/OPS+ 2026: .818/121 BLowe (20 HRs)/ .811/120 KMarte (17 HRs) 2025-2026: .798/117 BLowe (51 HRs)/.860/136 KMarte (45 HRs) 2024-2026 .793/119 BLOwe (72 HRs)/.887/143 KMarte (81 HRs)

    Gotta think Sandoval will be called up, soon. 5IP tonight: 1 Hit, 1BB & 7 Ks Eyanson relieved him and went 5 IP, 3H, 2 ER, 1BB, 7K for the win. Arias 1-3 and Winnay 2-4.
  22. moonslav59
    LOL. Good one.

    SEA beat TOR 11-0 and TEX lost to DET 3-0, so SEA now leads the ALW and TEX at 45-44 holds the final WC slot. The CWS are currently the 2nd WC team at 45-42, but you have to wonder if they can hold onto a playoff slot. (I wonder about TEX, too.) The Twins beat the Yanks 11-4, and it's always nice to see the Yanks lose, but MIN is a team we have a better chance at passing. Here are the WC standings before tonight's games: +4.5 NYY +1.0 CWS (at CLE) --- TEX -2.5 MIN -2.5 HOU (v TBR) -3.0 TOR -3.5 ATH (v MIA) -4.0 BAL (at CIN) -5.5 BOS (at LAA) -6.0 DET

    The key modern day slot is the #2 slot. Here are the numbers: .672 OPS as a team. GS (OBP/SLG) 38 Rafaela .302/.407 18 Contreras .372/.484 9 Story .119/.214 (horrible) 8 Gasper .294/.281 (What were we thinking?) 5 Durbin .304/.211 4 Monasterio .400/.471 3 Yoshida .357/.250 1 Duran .250/.000 The 3 slot at .724 has been better but still lacking: 55 Abreu .699 OPS 10 Duran .718 8 Yoshida .570 7 Anthony .690 5 Contreras 1.369 1 Gasper .833 Thanks to Willson, our 4 slot has been okay: 60 Contreras .891 10 Abreu .615 10 Story .530 5 Yoshida .697 1 Rafaela .000 Abreu has done very well batting 5th (1.061,) so it's too bad we have needed to bat him 3rd or 4th too often. Had we had a second big bat, maybe he'd have a better year.

    The lead-off slot has been a major thorn in the side of the Sox offense. While the lack of a second big bopper has gotten much of the attention, the .293 OBP from our 1 slot has been hideous. We've had seven different players placed in the one slot of the line-up card. OBP/SLG 42 Duran .269/.409 (Killed us) 22 Anthony .347/.274 (Sad SLG but best OBP) 7 Gasper .250/.240 (worse than Duran) 5 Yoshida .350/.526 (SSS but the best on the team up #1) 4 Eaton .300/.294 (better than many) 4 Seigler .176/.188 (Yuk-a-doodle-doo!) 2 Rafaela .400/.556 (Tiny sample size)
