I thought that was the "left hand man."
-
Me, too. And I was lucky as hell, many times.
-
1. I was responding to others talking about Soto vs Tatis. 2. Soto does not need to be extended for the 2024 budget needed for pitching, and the trade I suggested included $10M fro the Padres. 3. I'd still rather have pitching than Soto, if it is an either or choice. You spoke about "another lefty," so I pointed out Soto would be replacing one lefty (Dugo) with another. He would not be adding to our LHB numbers.
-
Agreed. It's just not a major issue, anyway- even on slow times.
-
So, all who use PEDs get caught?
-
Some brilliancy is very well-hidden.
-
We know about the 2018 team and don't need reminding. Fun Fact: Did you know 5 of the top 7 batters by PAs on that 2018 team batted righty?
-
A lefty bat like is transcends all. I'll take the career .836 v LHPs over Dugo's sub .680 OPS.
-
Apparently, the old interpreter was mixing up "swing" with "take."
-
If they only had an official title "Right Hand Man."
-
So, what they are most "dumb" at is getting caught.
-
Lackey is a great example to use. His teammates spoke very highly of him, while the media blasted him for his on the field antics that made it appear like he was dissing the D behind him, when he was actually pissed st himself.
-
It looks fairer than 9 Bellos.
-
BTV accepts: Dugo, Rafaela, Drohan for Soto & $10M
-
For Yoshida? $-10-15M. Zero, at best. For Tatis? From 225 to maybe 135-150ish. (I don't think he's worth 9 Bellos, but maybe they have Bello rated too lowly.)
-
I think he has too much to learn. I'm not saying it's impossible. Certainly, he could come out of the gates doing very well, and change my opinion, but as of now, I think he needs more time. He's only 20 and played 78 games, this year and 91, last year. I don't see him getting many games at SS at the MLB level in 2024.
-
I would not give three form that list of 6, unless 2 were named: Bleis, Yorke and Houck. I might give Mayer (the could use a 13th SS) plus Bleis, Yorke and Houck. Giving up Bello seems totally counter-productive, as the rotation is our biggest need. We'd then need to sign or trade for 4 SP'ers or more. Anthony and Teel are my favorite prospects, now. I will never say "untouchable," but mt fingers are clenched around them, tightly.
-
Yes, I said may or may not be biased. We agree. Again, you repeat there are "more opinions out there," like we don't know, and by inference, you do. This whole "go to more places" rant is offbase, too. Just my biased opinion.
-
I do think their high end player values are too high. They also need to make adjustments, more often. The Yoshida value is absurd. I'm giving them the benefit of doubt, it just needs adjustment.
-
Okay. I understand. Your list was for "by the end of the year."
-
Mayer will not come close to playing the most at SS in 2024, so I would not list him. Reyes will get more time at SS than Mayer. I'm not even sure Mayer is not traded.
-
My point was not about the article being right or wrong, and I know many people do not think Cora should be the manager, let alone promoted. I'm not sure where you get the impression I don't know this. You cat like those who disagree with you just need to know all the facts, and they'd "see the truth." Where did I say the article or firings were not fact. The article exists and is a fact, and it was based on opinion based on someone's observations, which may or may not be biased. You agreed, and that may or not be nothing more than confirmation bias. Why do you keep feeling the need to say the feelings here are not the same as "out there?" Facts: 1. We all know there are more and differing opinions "out there." 2. Only you pretend to have your finger on the true pulse of Sox Nation.
-
Clear as day, to me. Ask Red.
-
I'd sub Pivetta as the #5 and keep Crawford in the pen. (Certainly, Pivetta in the pen over Murphy.) Mayer is not playing SS for the Sox in 2024- likely not even in September.
-
The only way I'm okay with a CF platoon, is if Abreu plays enough games in LF and RF to help him grow, or I suppose, Rafaela plays some at 2B and back-up SS and is able to get over 500 PAs in the bigs. I doubt we trade Ref, so I think only one rookie OF'er makes the 26 in April. If we trade Dugo, that changes. If we trade Dugo and add Duvall, we may view Duvall as a 120-130 game OF'er and not the 144-155 OF Dugo is. Maybe we keep both with Duvall and not Dugo. With Yoshida at DH and maybe back up LF'er that would give us 6 players who primarily are OF/DHs. I don't see that happening. Knowing the Sox, they will play Rafaela out of position for half the games.
