    It's like saying he's been on a decent .780 stretch since April 1st, and you are cherry-picking this 8 week stretch, right?
  2. moonslav59
    He often uses the same source, but picks the time frame that works best at making a Red Sox player look as bad as possible. Futures Last year Last 3 years Career It varies.
  3. moonslav59
    No. It looks like two seperate slumps, to me. The .729 stretch is over a month long. He was not slumping for 9 full weeks, when half of it was .729. Your numbers are correct, but they can be deceiving. He was really god-awful before and after the stretch where he was at .729. That is a fact, too.
  4. moonslav59
    Cluster you know what
  5. moonslav59
    I guess you can start it in many places. .729 from 8/1 to 9/4 is not really a continuous slump.
  6. moonslav59
    I doubt they have a very sophisticated value formula, but I do think they just haven't updated his number, since the slump began a few weeks back.
  7. moonslav59
    Rafaela, Abreu and Dalbec should play everyday, except for Dora's scheduled day off every 3 games rule.
  8. moonslav59
    They've moved Rafaela from the 20's to about 6 to 17.9, now. All in a few months. I guess they don't adjust everyone, at the same time. Drohan is still above Wikelman and Perales.
  9. moonslav59
    For all we know, they have Abreu and Duran above Rafaela, so trading him might not be a show-stopper. It's Mayer that is the big choice.

    I suppose the new GM might decide to roll the dice on our top prospects and just wait 'em out. I think they may look at our top 4-5 prospects and decide which one we can most afford to lose, or the one they have the least faith in, but in reality, it might alol come down to which prospect one GM values more than ours does. I think we trade one of our top 5 prospects, this winter- perhaps with 1-2 second tier prospects for a younger, team-controlled SP'er.

    Wow! What a mess.
  12. moonslav59
    I'm not sure, one way or the other. I kinda feel like 2024 or beyond has always been their true goal on splurging, but I don't know what to believe, anymore.

    His SSS OPS is now over .900. The guy has hit for long stretches in MLB, already. To bad the guy can't field any position even poorly. He's just plain awful, everywhere but DH.
  14. moonslav59
    I don't think he's very dependable, so maybe he'll fit right into our plans. He probably gets more than $10M/1, so I'm not sure we can afford him.
  15. moonslav59
    Agreed. I see one of BTV's biggest mistakes as having Yoshi at +12.6. IMO, he's more like -12.6, as in we'd have to pay $12.6M towards his remaining salary just to get a player worth zero.
  16. moonslav59
    You really think we'd have gone over the line, this year, had we stayed under, last year? I have serious doubts.
  17. moonslav59
    I'm still hoping for 82, 81, at worst, but I would not bet on it.
  18. moonslav59
    He's on this list, and might be a second tier guy I would not mind us taking a chance on.
  19. moonslav59
    Last winter's FA SP signings: $37M x 5 deGrom $27M x 6 Rodon $43M x 2 Verlander $15M x 5 Senga $18M x 4 Walker $17M x 4 Taillon $21M x 3 Bassitt $13M x 3 Eflin & T Anderson $17M x 2 Nate $6.5M x 4 Wacha (opt out) $13M x 3 Quintana, Stripling, Heaney & Manea $20M/1 Kershaw & M Perez $9.5 x 2 Smyly $8.5 x 2 Lyles $7.5 x 2 Lugo $13M x 1 Syndergaard $12M x 1 Clevinger $10M x 1 Kluber, Gibson & Boyd

    He even gave us a Dave Henderson, one flap down, home run trot. https://www.milb.com/video/kristian-campbell-s-three-run-hr

    That has been true, and what else can we use as an indicator of what we can expect for IP, going forward? Age? IP 2021-2023 3. Nola 567 9. Gibson 530 14. Morton 520 17. Montgomery 511 29. Pivetta 463 33. Lynn 450 34. Stroman 449 38. Singer 441 (trade?) 39. Greinke 437 41. Snell 431 43. Gray 230 46. Nate 427
  22. moonslav59
    Agreed. I really don't think we are that many players away from strong contention. The 2 SP'er slots are major, but it's only 2 slots and we have over $50M, minimum, unless JH goes cheaper than the tax line. I think Bloom left a decent foundation for the next GM to finish filling out those 2-4 slots. Can we finally go with quality over quantity?
  23. moonslav59
    Here are the worst LF'ers in 2023, according to OAA: -19 Schwarber -12 Profar -11 Beni -9 Yoshi -9 Soto -8 de la Cruz It shows Yoshida at 0 on balls hit "in" and -2 going "back," so that jives with the short wall preventing missed plays in those directions. He's -4 to the left and -4 to the right. My guess is, if he played in Yankee Stadium, he might be -6 back, -4 in, -4 to his right and -6 to his left.
  24. moonslav59
    I'm not so sure we'd have gone over, this year had we stayed under, last year. We didn't even edge up to the line, as it was. The improved draft picks and bonus money did not hurt in 2023. In theory, had he traded JD or had a fire sale, in 2022, maybe some of the returns would have been helping us in 2023, but the vast majority of trades "missed out on" due to indecisiveness seemed like "for the future" trades, and the criticism seems to be mostly, in an overall sense, that he valued the future too much and the now, too little. I'm with you on the indecisiveness being hurtful, but I was not all about the here and now, all along.

    Those SSs seem from so long ago! (Gonzo, reese and Cora, too.)
