    You know more about Bleis?
  2. moonslav59
    Probably the best. Before tonight's game, his OPS Against was .575. Stunning!

    Raising false hopes, again. I still would not count on anything from him. We need to plan our staff as if he won't pitch a single inning. If he does, it can be gravy.
  4. moonslav59
    I still have faith he can return to form. Remember, he did have hip surgery, last September.

    None are for me- for the right return. I will say, Anthony then Teel are my current faves.

    No mention of Anthony? He could easily be our best prospect. I mentioned Morton as a possible second signee, if we go large and long on one of the younger top guys, like Yamamoto. BTW, Morton is no Kluber or Richards and might get 3 x what they got ($30M/1.) I can't see us signing Yamamoto and then Nola or Gray. I have long said sign one and trade for one as the best option, so I'm with you on that idea.

    He's putting up Uehara type numbers.
  8. moonslav59
    Man, Story goes 3 for 4 and only gets up to .540. Hope he can do much better in '24.

    Is there any top 5 prospect not untouchable to you? Anthony Teel Mayer Bleis Cespedes

    If I had a nickel for every ti e someone said, “if I had a penny (or nickel,)” I’d have a shitload of nickels.

    Nobody is saying otherwise.

    About as much as you are a Cora hater.

    AZ League Sox Roster includes: Red Sox (Glendale): Brainer Bonaci, SS/2B (No. 11); Nathan Hickey, C (No. 15); Bryan Mata, RHP (No. 23); Felix Cepeda, RHP; Wyatt Olds, RHP; Zach Penrod, LHP; Corey Rosier, OF; Christopher Troye, RHP Mata might be the most recognizable name as a former top pitching prospect who has been limited by Tommy John surgery and shoulder issues in recent years. He was back up to 97-98 mph in two recent outings for Triple-A Worcester, so the Sox will hope the velo keeps coming with Glendale. Bonaci is coming off his best Minor League offensive season, having hit .297 at High-A and Double-A, while setting a career high with 11 homers, and Hickey provides some pop too as a bat-first catcher. -MLB.com

    Indeed, we may end up with less wins than 2022, despite not having to play as many games vs ALE teams. I still think playing an easier schedule usually helps, but obviously not always. What a difference one season makes in one aspect but hardly any when comparing overall records between 2022 and 2023: 2022 26-50 vs AL East 2023 22-24 2022 vs all others 52-34 2023 53-53 Maybe they schedule was easier, but the team was worse.

    Name one person who fits this profile.

    I was clearly talking about 2020 only. No need to twist it into something I never said or believe in. Bloom deserves blame and credit for 2021, 2022 and 2023 and the foundation and farm he is passing along. Blaming Bloom for the 2020 rotation is absurd.

  19. moonslav59
    Tell us something we don't already know.
  20. moonslav59
    Maybe okay with some of the time table achievements but not the one that matters most to fans.
  21. moonslav59
    It's even worse than this. There were dozens of plays that should not or would not have been called errors in the past, but most other teams make. This team's D was beyond the worst of the worst I have ever seen. That's mostly on Bloom. I do think he left a better defensive team for the next guy than we had all year. Yoshi to DH. Story healthy. Rafaela in the fold. Duran in LF not CF. Urias & Reyes at 2B and back up 3B and SS. Hopefully, Casas, Wong and McGuire a year more experienced (and improved.)

    No GM came close to doing what Sullivan did to that Sox team of the 70's.
  24. moonslav59
    I was just a teen in the 70's so that hit me harder than it should have, but man, I was excited and engaged in the team. We had a lot of talent to be excited about. After the purge of Fisk, Lynn, Burly and others, there were some fun teams, but not close to the 70's. Clemens and Boggs was about it for 20 years. I still watched just about every inning of every game I could, but the failures were way worse than now. Bloom's record is close to .500. Ben's was not as bad as some in the 80's and 90's. There is bad and there is awful.
  25. moonslav59
    Some grade on what your final product was and a .500 or average team is about a C+ to D+.
