    Me, too. (I'm on my way back from Maine. Will stop in PIT, tomorrow.)

    Isn't Kike's last name Cora?

    Don't look now, but Pivetta's ERA is nearing sub 4.00.
  5. moonslav59
    The Rangers almost beat the Astros. Before long, we may be closer to TEX than HOU.
  6. moonslav59
    You mean Dees? Devers, Duran, Dugo, Dasas and Doshida!

    Even when Turner makes an out, he's a joy to watch. If you are a Sox fan and can't find a player to attach yourself to, I suggest Justin Turner.

    Everybody Wong Chang, tonight!

    I think my Yankee predictions look closer than my Sox ones.

    Mets up on Yanks 6-0 after back to back Mets jacks. BAL tied with PHI. Rays on on Marlins 4-1.

    It bothers me, everyday.
  12. moonslav59
    Agreed . O.0001 to 0.000 chance. I meant my post to show how “in” I am on buying.
  13. moonslav59
    Agreed, but my point was not really meant to be about a catcher comp. In the context of people saying, “How would fans react, if we traded Paxton and he did great for another team?” I brought up the upset fans after the Vaz trade and how it mattered little that we won the catcher trades of 2022.

    Turner at 2B will likely be pretty rare, but yes that is one way to flex all the top hitters into the lineup at once. Maybe I’m overemphasising things, but I do think Duvall is worth more to a team that doesn’t have the choices Cora has. I really like Duvall. I’m just seeing any drop off from Duvall to Duran, Casas or the others discussed is likely smaller than sever other teams have. I’m not for handing him away, but maybe a three team deal, where we add someone like Mata or Paulino could get us a decent rental SPer.

    Hope just one does better than Alan Webster or Rubby de la Rosa!

    I wonder if Cora lobbied against trading Cora.

    Is Haggerman Rule 5 eligible this winter?
  19. moonslav59
    I’d like to see that matter as the Sox look to trade for salary.
  20. moonslav59
    Yes, but this would be quite a squeeze. Sitting great LHd batters vs RHPs makes little sense. It’s a nice problem to have, but I have always felt that if a player’s value would be higher on another team, a trade should occur. Notin mentions Dugo. He’d bring way more than Duvall, but that would be a controversial move.
  21. moonslav59
    I would not bet against Duvall, assuming he gets a chance to play, everyday. The problem for him with the Sox is how can he play everyday? Who sits vs RHPs? Not Duran, Dugo, Yoshida, Casas or Turner. Who sits vs LHPs? Not Yoshida, Turner, Refsnyder. Probably not Dugo. Casas or Duran? Even if yes to one, he still only plays the short side of a platoon. It would do a service to him to trade him, but that doesn’t mean we do.
  22. moonslav59
    The jury is out on McGuire, but he did better than Vaz over the last 2 months in ‘22, and IMO, he has more future upside and will cost way less.
  23. moonslav59
    .834 in his last 10 games. I’d like to see him get a chance to play everyday, but I would not bench any of these guys vs RHPs for him: Turner Yoshida Dugo Duran Casas Vs LHPs an argument could be made for some, but we have to let our only top 10 MLB batter v LHPs since 2022 play, too (Refsnyder.) I can see the reasoning for trading the league leading rbi man in 2021 at the deadline. Play Ref v LHPs and play the others, instead.
  24. moonslav59
    Before this season, I had two major worries about Sale: 1. Could he even comeback and pitch for a long stretch or two? 2. Could he pitch anywhere near like he did before. I think he answered #2, although with this new injury, I’m not 100% sure he can again.
  25. moonslav59
    Yes. They had him as a net -0.1 with HOU after the trade. I have never said he was poor in the areas they measure. He was a plus hitter compared to most catchers, more times than not. I think he was a net plus and never argued to replace, bench or trade him. I criticise one aspect of his skill set, and that it it. I happen to think it knocks him down a peg or two from where many Sox fans seem to have him, but he was a plus for us. He seemed to have alternating very good years with okay to meh years. He was getting older. No slight on our ex Sox players, but I’m glad we have Wong over Vaz and McGuire over Plawecki.
