    That goes without saying. Saying only two per year could prove to be an overstatement, too.

    You can't read. I have Renfroe listed as a head scratching bad trade. AB did not do all that well after the trade and is not good, now. I said "you can call it a loss or incomplete." Rosier is a better prospect than Groom, right now, but call that one minor or a push- fine. Try getting your reading comprehension and facts in check, first,

    2020 (only 4 rounds) Yorke 17 Jordan 89 Wu-Yelland 118 Drohan 148 2021 Mayer 4 Fabian 40- no sign McDonough 75 E-R-C 105 Hickey 136 (Dobbins 226, Kavadas 316, Guerrero 496) 2021 Romero 24 CCoffye 41 Anthony 79 Rogers 99 Meidroth 129 Dean 159 (Brannom 279, ICoffey 309) 2023 Teel 14 Zanetello 50 Anderson 83 Duffy 115 Campbell 132 I see more than 2 good picks per year on average.

    Exactly. A point, no matter how many times repeated, is not understood by a select few posters, here. Also, the hit rate on drafting everyday players vs pitchers on any picks outside the top 10.
  5. moonslav59
    True, although we have not been below .500, since June. More like hoering around 2-4 games above .500 for most of the year.

    I don't think (or I hope) we never see Whitlock start again, unless as an opener. SP1 FA or trade SP2 FA or trade SP3 Bello SP4 Houck SP5 Pivetta/Crawford Trade Mata & Dalbec
  7. moonslav59
    Agreed. If he was the #2, hurray for Bloomie!
  8. moonslav59
    I honestly would not mind, if they draft 4 SSs out of their top 8 picks, every year.
  9. moonslav59
    Yes, a very notable difference. I do think the Duvall signing was a good one. A kind of freakish injury hurt. One point about the "what if" in 2020 for Verdugo: 2023: 2.2 first half 0.4 second half
  10. moonslav59
    The sweep at HOU was impressive. The 5-1 vs DET pretty good. Certainly, if trends continue, it will be "easy," but one thing about this year is trends are ever-changing.
  11. moonslav59
    He did not have to be. Trade him for nothing. Or, trade him and Stahm or Nate or Wacha or....
  12. moonslav59
    I don't either, but if they told him, "Look, we will not be re-signing you, this fall, so would you like to be traded to a contender and take away your QO status," he may have said okay.
  13. moonslav59
    Signing Montgomery, Lugo and maybe Duvall and a decent LH'd RP'er should make us noticeably better, but IMO, not by enough to make us near a top contender status. Snell, Monty, Duvall and LRP, more so. I'd love to see Yamamoto, Snell & Duvall.
  14. moonslav59
    Easily? They first have to learn how to beat us, but the way we have been playing, we may beat ourselves enough time to hand it to them.
  15. moonslav59
    Duvall is 2.2 in less than half a season played, this year.
  16. moonslav59
    See my list with Bloom guys highlighted in red. (Wink & Wong did not make the list.) Yes, a lot of mediocrity and slightly better, but no real major find or get. Perhaps Story could have been without injury. Perhaps Duvall. Kike was one and done. Hill did fine, but he doesn't jump out at us.
  17. moonslav59
    The whole quantity vs quality thing- I agree. It's not just 2023, either. I try to convince myself this is all part of a plan- I like plans- to build the foundation, but I'm nos so sure, anymore. 2020-2023 highest fWARs on Sox 6.0 Bogey '22 4.8 Devers '22 4.3 Bogey '21 4.2 Devers '21 4.0 Kike '21 2.8 JD '21 2.6 Devers '23 and counting 2.6 Verdugo '23 and counting 2.4 Story '22 in just over half a season 2.3 Duran '23 in 102 gms 2.2 Duvall '23 in less than half a season 2.2 Renfroe '21 1.9 Verdugo '21 1.9 Verdugo '20 in short season 1.7 Vaz '22 in 84 gms 1.7 Casas '23 1.7 Turner '23 and counting Pitching 5.7 Nate '21 3.9 ERod '21 2.3 Pivetta '21 2.3 Houck '21 (and people wonder why we won in '21!) 1.8 Sale '23 1.8 Hill '22 1.8 Schreiber '22 1.7 Bello '23 and counting 1.6 Whitlock another '21 1.6 Crawford '23 and counting 1.5 Wacha '22 1.5 Pivetta '22 1.4 Whitlock '22 1.3 Barnes '21 1.3 Bello '22 1.3 Martin '23 1.1 Jansen '23 1.1 Richards '21 1.1 Paxton '23 and counting (backwards?)

    He'll be 31 years old in 2028. He'll be 36 in his last year of the deal. With inflation the way it is, there is no telling what his value might be in 5, 7 or 8 years. He's just now entering peak prime, although his numbers did not jump. OPS+ 134 in '21 142 in '22 125 in '23

    Sorry for sounding testy.
  21. moonslav59
    We really could have used the leadership of Bogey, JD, Nate and Vaz, right?
  22. moonslav59
    Had we had just 2 from Nate, Wacha and Eflin, we'd be in the race, right now, so I don't think it's a great leap to think we can strike gold, this winter.
  23. moonslav59
    To keep Red happy: Sox -5.0 from TOR & TEX (loss in progress) +1.5 NYY
  24. moonslav59
    You are counting the trade and signing. This is about just trades. We were not extending Betts, so it's not like you can count that, anyway. That's like saying the Sale trade sucked, when it was a great one. It was the extension that sucked.

    Hard to get a read on what JH is thinking, let alone feeling.
