    Yes, I admit it. You and Red don't. You both do the same thing. Your last post about me followed three in a row by Red not even related to the debate at hand, except maybe the third one a little bit as a rehash. Just blatant "talk downs," or whatever you call it.

    So, back to baseball. If Breslow is truly planning on..." Houck and Whitlock will still be stretched out, but they could be pivoted back to the bullpen later...," does that mean Pivetta is in the pen? If not, we'd have Bello, Sale, Houck, Whitlock and Pivetta in the rotation and no new SP'er. Or, we have just one new SP'er and Pivetta joins Crawford as one of just 2 long men in the pen, unless Sale of someone else is not starting. I'm not sure how it all works out, if we add 1-2 solid SP'ers. Is this talk just bluster? If yes, what purpose does it serve?

    I pointed out what I thought was an inconsistency from what you said, today to what you said before in a very respectful way. I did not see it as trolling or bickering. Apparently you and others see it as an instigation. I don't.

    Just like someone named MVP. You can't "just stop" any more than Red can
  5. moonslav59
    I did.

    Whenever anyone says something that seems to contradict a previous position, myself included, they are usually called out. Apparently, I'm not allowed to do so.
  7. moonslav59
    I don't see what has been said, recently as "bickering," but you sure seem to want to keep adding your two cents often enough.
  8. moonslav59
    Yes, almost ready, if it comes to fruition, I felt was assumed. That position is certainly open for debate. I just didn't expect it from the poster who was all over Bloom before he even walked in thye door. I don't think pointing that out is starting a war.
  9. moonslav59
    He'd improve the D and give us some RH'd power. As long as the cost is not that much, it should be worth it. $9.5M Dugo + $5M Urias is close to what Torres will get, but then we have RF to fill. I like the idea.
  10. moonslav59
    I'm not sure what you think I'm trying to do with putting someone "in the same light." I just pointed out an inconsistency and what I view as an hypocrisy. You disagree, based on different situations and people involved. I'm supporting Brez like I do any Sox GM, until they show they don't deserve it. This recent statement by Brez has be concerned, but I'm not jumping ship before he does anything- like you did with Bloom. That's all I'm saying. Read into that what you want.

    I never found it funny, at all. I guess my sense of humor is different. (I do find Mel Brooks funny.)
  12. moonslav59
    If we trade Dugo for Torres, trade of non tender Urias and sign Duvall, the D should be a net improvement, but the cost might be a little higher. I'd say it's worth it.
  13. moonslav59
    Just stop.
  14. moonslav59
    Of course the situations are different, and the people are different. That does not change the fact that you are preaching others do as you say not as you do (did).
  15. moonslav59
    How am I showing it bugs me? I'm pointing out what you did when Bloom was hired, and now you are cautioning we "wait and see" before saying something way less restrained that your initial position with Bloom. I think it's worth pointing out inconsistencies. It does not mean it bugs me. I actually find it comical and entertaining, but you seem to know my feelings better than I do.
  16. moonslav59
    I did say "almost" ready. I'm actually okay with Houck being a 4/5 SP'er, if we have a strong pen with several long men that would allow us to yank Houck after 18 batters, every start. Whitlock should never start another game, even in an emergency, unless as an opener. IMO, Whitlock should have 2 other long men in the pen with him- 2 from Houck, Pivetta and Crawford. Another key component of limiting Houck's innings a s a SP'er, is that we absolutely need an ace that can go 175+ IP. (I think 2, but not I doubt that will happen.) Our pen can be our biggest strength, if we don't overload it and keep robbing from it our best long men.
  17. moonslav59
    That's funny. Like you did with Bloom?
  18. moonslav59
    I've never started a "Fire ____" thread, but I'm almost ready to, already.
  19. moonslav59
    So, Pivetta is the number 5- the guy who lost his rotation slot, last year. Sale is the number 4- they guy who has 31 starts total in the last 4 years. Whitlock or Houck is the number 3- both better as RP'ers. Bello is the number 2- the guy with a 5.58 ERA and 5.31 FIP in his last 13 starts of the season of 28 total GS. Add and ace. Sura, an ace if better than a Kluber or Richards, but it's not nearly enough.
  20. moonslav59
    Knowing one or both will end up starting, again.
  21. moonslav59
    This is crazy thinking. I just lost a lot of respect for Brez. It looks like we will be adding just 1 SP- not the 2-3 I feel we need, badly.
  22. moonslav59
    I don't think a -2 OAA over the last 2 years outweighs a .380 OBP.
  23. moonslav59
    OAA 2022-2023 at 2B +7 Merrifield 0 A Rosario -1 L urias -2 Donovan -2 Reyes -3 Torres
  24. moonslav59
    I think Rosario is the better defender. Urias is a decent back-up 3Bman, but maybe we could trade or non tender Urias and use Reyes as the all around utility IF'er. The money saved ($~5M) on Urias would lessen the hit of the Rosario contract, but who knows? Maybe Urias outplays Rosario in 2024 and beyond. Urias turns 27 next June. 6.1 bWAR '21-'22 4.2 fWAR, including -0.1 in '23 Ahmed turns 28, next week. 6.6 bWAR '21-'23 5.4 fWAR, including +0.2 in '23 It would save us money to just keep Urias, but an upgrade on D, while adding a capable back-up SS might be worth the added salary.

    Trust me. I know.
