    Yes, he's not done a thing in between. Geeesh!
  2. moonslav59
    3 runs on 4 hits. Am I watching the right game?
  3. moonslav59
    We could offer Houck and or Whitlock, plus others.
  4. moonslav59
    Book it: Burnes or Woodruff will be traded, this winter- maybe not for prospects, but maybe so. Both could well be traded, as well.
  5. moonslav59
    True dat!
  6. moonslav59
    The rotation beats it out, in my book.
  7. moonslav59
    Not getting Iggy seemed weird. I wonder, if he left on bad terms, for some reason, after that rental season in 2021.
  8. moonslav59
    The other side of the hear and now is to play the kids and get a look at the future.
  9. moonslav59
    Yes, many of us were for signing Andrus, right up to his signing. It seems weird Simmons was not given a shot, but maybe GMs know more than us. In season moves are harder.
  10. moonslav59
    Indeed. The problem with Devers' D is his arm not glove or range. I think he'd be better than "fine" at 1B, in a very short time.
  11. moonslav59
    Yes, that was my point. We got pretty lucky with Reyes. Iggy was added by someone, around that time, but it is extremely rare when a solid player is traded in May or June, yet the same people keep saying, we should have/could have traded for one. (Then, who do we give up?) I do respect the idea of "trying," but for all we know, Bloom tried his ass off, but nobody wanted to trade their SS.
  12. moonslav59
    I wasn't really saying the deal had to hinge on an extension or two, but would you like the deal, if we did get one or two to extend? To me, I don't give up Mayer, unless I get 3+ years of an ace or 4+ of a near ace.
  13. moonslav59
    Indeed, and we still had JBJ and a decent fielding 1Bman.
  14. moonslav59
    BTV accepted this trade for two SP'ers with just 1 more year of team control: Burnes & Woodruff for Mayer, Drohan & Perales If both agreed to reasonable extension, do you pull the trigger? It also accepted this deal: Duran, Yorke and Drohan for just Burnes.
  15. moonslav59
    We also lose Turner ($10.8M), along with Kluber(10), Paxton (4), Duvall (7)and Mondesi (3). It won't be easy replacing Turner and Duvall's offense, and the rb raises and Devers' raise will eat into this money "saved." It's going to take more money spent than just what we "saved" by losing these guys. I'm not making any prediction on where our winter spending budget might be.

    Worst team OAA since 2017 (210 entries) 209. 2023 Red Sox -51 204. 2021 Red Sox -40 156. 2022 Red Sox -13 128. 2020 Red Sox -5 (short season) _____________________________ 98. 2017 Red Sox +3 92. 2019 Red Sox +4 64. 2018 Red Sox +9
  17. moonslav59
    Looks like it's all about the here and now, tonight.
  18. moonslav59
    True, but right now, we have some of the worst corner IF'ers in MLB on D. It's not just the metrics that show it. Eye test, too.
  19. moonslav59
    I'd trade Yoshi, too. If we did, JT would be high on my list, too. Maybe he and Duvall.
  20. moonslav59
    Unless we add someone, I think Bobby Dee stays on the 40, but not the 26, unless there is an injury.
  21. moonslav59
    I'm for keeping Devers at 3B and possibly letting him learn how to play 1B and possibly be the back-up in '24, if we don't add someone who can play 1B (JT or Duvall coming back?) I doubt we give a 26 man slot to Dalbec, but I can see him staying on the 40, as insurance.
  22. moonslav59
    How many big trades are made in May or June? I'm not defending Bloom. He could have outbid whoever for Iggy, but it's not easy getting a really good replacement way before the deadline.
  23. moonslav59
    106 seasons by 1Bmen qualified since 2021 on OAA: here are the worst 11 scores by season: -13 Vlad Jr '23 -11 Lowe '22 -10 Casas '23 -9 Votto '22 & Gurriel '22 -8 Hoskins '22 -7 Torkelson '23, Cordero '22, Alonso '22 -6 Dalbec '21 What is it with our 1Bmen and D? BTW, run the same report on 3B and 112 qualify: 112. Devers in '21 -14 106. Devers in '23 -7 77. Devers in '22 at -2 (I had hopes after 2022 he might keep improving.) He did the same, earlier in his career: (2017-2019: 108 qualified at 3B) 101 in 2017 -9 83 in 2018 at -4 #2 in 2019!!!! at +17
  24. moonslav59
    Half are with his throws. He's actually decent with the glove and range. IMO, he'd be a plus defender at 1B within a month or two, and by the way, our current 1Bman is not much better than Dalbec was on D. (worse according to OAA) (Note: I'm not for moving Devers to 1B in 2024, unless as a back-up. I want Yoshi at DH in 2024.)
  25. moonslav59
    There is enough time to talk about all our problems. 3B D is a problem. Talking about Devers at 3B vs 1B does not change the importance of fixing other problems.
