    You do two years, so you can get him over the many teams offering him one year. The list of quality OF'ers on the market might be the worst in recent memory.

    Unless we trade or cut Refsnyder, he looks like a lock to be a platoon. Yes, he slumped towards the end of '23, like almost all his teammates, but the guy still has a better OPS vs LHPs 2022-2023 than anyone else on the roster for 2024: 90+ PAs '22-'23 w Sox .900 Turner (not on '24 roster, yet) .828 Refsnyder .823 Devers .817 Casas .772 Reyes (57 PAs) .756 Duvall (not on '24 roster, yet) .746 Yoshida .501 Wong With these career splits, we may see 2 OF platoons, if we add a RHB OF'er or Rafaela shows he can hit well vs LHP: Career (some small sample sizes) vs RHP/vs LHP .929/.400 Abreu (75 PA v R and 10 PA v L) .807/.665 Verdugo (2023: .793/.609) .795/.746 Yoshida (may bs our DH) .762/.570 Duran (2023: .841/.749) .604/.757 Refsnyder (.466/.828 in '23) .675/.645 Rafaela (in 62 PAs v R/ 27 PA v L) (FYI: Duvall .760/.770)

    You don't think hitting .834 OPS in '23 vs the .677 OPS before 2023 might be enough to persuade one GM to offer 2 years?

    Wong played 2 games at 2B in 2022 (5 innings) and 5 games way back in '23 with the Sox (5 innings.) Vaz played 2B: 0.2 inning in '20 5.0 innings in '21 1.0 inning in '22 That's a flagrant foul on you!

    It doesn't bug me at all. I did not see the post that explained your reasoning. You can continue misrepresenting my thoughts and positions. I'm not going to take the bait. Feel free to get in the last word.
  6. moonslav59
    No, they will overlook it, regardless, if they think he can be a big help on the mound.
  7. moonslav59
    List all that played for the Sox for just one year would be challenging, too.
  8. moonslav59
    WOW! Good one! Loved that high leg kick.
  9. moonslav59
    Pitcher theme... Tom Seaver Fergie Jenkins Brett Saberhagen John Smoltz
  10. moonslav59
    I missed that post. Yes, that answers my Q.
  11. moonslav59
    If a team offers him 2-3 years w/o an option, I think he'd take it, unless he thinks he can stay healthy, have a big year and hit paydirt in '25.
  12. moonslav59
    Can we trade him for an ace? I'll throw in Dugo and Mata.
  13. moonslav59
    I think he should get $9M/1. He will get $19M/2. (1 more year and $10M more.)
  14. moonslav59
    I could see thinking Rafala, Abreu and Duran could maybe be counted on to fill 2 OF slots, combined, but that could backfire, badly. (LF and CF with Abreu backing up RF)
  15. moonslav59
    1 year longer than 1 is 2. 1 year longe rthan 2 is 3. I think he gets 2. I think red thinks he'll get at least 2, so maybe he gets 3.
  16. moonslav59
    I said one year longer than you think he should get.
  17. moonslav59
    He told us so many times, so I believed him.
  18. moonslav59
    I'm just tryiung to get a position statement and a reason. I'm being very polite.
  19. moonslav59
    So, your "feeling" is Breslow is okay?
  20. moonslav59
    We have too many players that are good at one thing but not others. Pivetta is most durable but is inconsistent with performance. Devers and Casas are great hitters but horrible on D. Duran has the speed but it doesn't seem to help him get to a plus on D. I could go on and on. How many very good and all around solid and dependable players do we have?
  21. moonslav59
    Also... Wong, Vaz & Dalbec at 2B Vaz at 3B
  22. moonslav59
    Players out of position did not help. Duran in LF is fine. Kike in CF was fine. Duvall in LF or RF would have been better. We need a healthy Story in '24.\ If Duran can play almost always in LF, that will help. 2B has upside with Urias and Reyes over Arroyo and Valdez. Casas may or may not improve. Devers is up and down and more down than up. I'm hoping Wong improves. If Rafaela's bat can carry him, we can see a big plus on CF D.
  23. moonslav59
    1 year longer and $10M more than you think he should be. (That's kinda true for most good FA signings.)
  24. moonslav59
    So, we should have assumed Theo would suck?
  25. moonslav59
    To see if I missed something or misremembered something, or what?
