    Better than out almost season and sucking when he does play. Plus, Jed played more often, once he left BOS. He had over 565 PAs in 4 of his next 7 years, and although 365+ PAs is not much, it's been better than Story, and Jed had 365+ in 6 of his next 7 seasons after BOS at .753.

    I'd much rather see us keep all our best prospects and younger players and just sign 2 of the best 2 four SP'ers out there or 3 of the top seven to eight on the market. Add someone like Duvall and a decent LH'd RP'er and call it a day. No more quantity over quality. Spend it all on 3-4 players, and deal with depth issues (where the farm can't help) that arise through in season trades. Ideally, 2 from Yamamoto, Gray, Snell and Nola or 1 from those 4 plus 2 from Montgomery, Kershaw, ERod and maybe Giolito/Stroman/Lugo/Wacha

    We won't get a top pitcher for even the best 4 remaining prospects: Bleis, Rafaela, Yorke and Perales. Adding Zanetello likely still won't get one. I'm not saying we have to make a deal, but if you want to get a very good younger pitchers with 2+ years of team control, it's gotta be Casas or one of those top 3- as starting point (plus maybe Wikelman.)

    I've suggested trading Mayer or Casas and was met with the same outrage. You gotta give to get. We gave up Armas & Pavano for Pedro, HRam and Anibal Sanchez for Beckett (and salary dump Mike Lowell) and Moncada/Kopech for Sale. Nobody complains about those deals. I fully respect the value of our prospects. I'm not "giving up on them" or "dumping them" to suggest we might get equal or greater value for them in an area of greater need, but at some point, I'm pretty sure we'll have to make that tough choice. We've built the farm up pretty nicely. I think we can afford to deal a top prospect and still have a solid farm. Keep it balanced.

    All our good longmen are in the rotation or on the BL/IL. Sale was yanked early and rightfully. Pivetta was not available. Llovera went 3, last night We had: Jansen and Martin for late That left: Schreiber (pitched 2 IP on Wed. but was available) Winckowski Bernardino (pitched last night and the game before) Jacquez Weiss

    Losing our 2 best, and really only significant RH'd bats in JT and Duvall, does make adding a RH'd bat to CF or RF make sense. We could even bring Duvall back to play mostly RF and be insurance against a Rafaela struggle in CF. I can see Dugo being traded. What Dugo brings back in trade is not going to be ground-shaking, unless part of a larger package. If somehow we can get a solid SP'er for Dugo and some prospects not named Mayer, Anthony or Teel, I think we have to pull the trigger. One problem is a team wanting Dugo's 1 year deal is probably not looking to add prospects while giving up a solid SP'er. Maybe 3 teams would be needed: Dugo to team A Prospects from team A and from the Sox to team B Team B sends a solid SP'er to the Sox I'm not talking an ace, here, unless top prospect(s) are involved.

    After such an offensive output, today (pun intended,) here are the team OPS leaders: 300+ PAs .852 Casas .848 Devers .835 Turner .828 Duran (332 PAs) .803 Yoshida .785 Dugo .729 Wong (331) Seems like such a waste of a well-balanced and deep offense. Under 300 PAs 1.059 Rafaela .980 Abreu .878 Duvall .748 Reyes .721 EValdez .689 McGuire .677 Urias .673 Refsnyder .529 Story

    Too bad, we still didn't have Brasier and Littell. We could have gotten an ace for Dalbec and those two! LOL
  11. moonslav59
    With a BB, too. The team had 23 hits and 2 BBs in the loss.
  12. moonslav59
    Exciting game, but we need a win!
  13. moonslav59
    Nope!
  14. moonslav59
    Can Yoshi gain some respect, here?
  15. moonslav59
    Like I said, Cora is a genius for pulling JT.
  16. moonslav59
    I meant to mention, at the time, why PR for JT, when he may have gotten a key PA, later.
  17. moonslav59
    20 freaking hits and Abreu getting on base in all 5 PAs.
  18. moonslav59
    Agreed, but today's game does not really fit on that. Loading the bases did give us a shot. they could have been meaningful hits.
  19. moonslav59
    Texas beat #3 Alabama. Other top teams romped. ND beat a real team, but #11 Texas will pass us. I'm not sure we pass ALA.
  20. moonslav59
    The worst part of that was not even being untrue, but Berrios did not do all that well, and Duran is looking okay, now. (Remember, the Berrios 2022 extension is not part of the trade.)
  21. moonslav59
    Imagine we signed Scherzer not Price, which would have also have led to no Pablito & Hram.
  22. moonslav59
    That's exactly what we all said about Whitlock. I'm sure he'll get a look. I'd prefer we add pitchers who have already proven they can go 5+ for 25+ starts, and keep guys who are proven to be good in the pen in the pen. No, "just add SP'ers" does not need to be $10M/1 guys, this coming winter. We really ONLY need SP'ers. We can get by without adding anything else but 2-3 solid SP'er.

    The season in a nutshell.
  24. moonslav59
    Not singling out Wong, here, but how many times do we see a Sox hitter get a couple hits early in a game, then go oh for with men on base, alter in the game?
  25. moonslav59
    Time for Casas to bring down the house!
