    Cora is to blame for every single Sox loss. - brown hats.
  2. moonslav59
    There is a posse.
  3. moonslav59
    Too bad they did away with the shift. He could play a whole side of the field and the others could try to do as well as he could by himself on the other side. BTW, I think his hit tool will be fine. He will likely be streaky, and maybe have some long slumps as he struggles to adjust or readjust, but he'll be fine.
  4. moonslav59
    I'm waiting for someone to say, "Now, that we know he can hit..."
  5. moonslav59
    He hit into the DP? Do the players ever get the blame, or should we give them all participation trophies?
  6. moonslav59
    Understandable. But, Mondesi? Chump change for a position we actually needed, but the guy stretched 1 month rehab into a year's vacation.
  7. moonslav59
    That hurt.
  8. moonslav59
    No, but if we pass TOR & TEX, we don't have to pass SEA.
  9. moonslav59
    Maybe because he will likely have $48M to spend and all the everyday slots are filled.
  10. moonslav59
    The other thing is, we play TOR and TEX 3 times, each.
  11. moonslav59
    If we can make Bello our #3, we'd be well off. We can then handle our 4 and 5 going 4 innings most of the time. One thing of note, although Pivetta has not be all that consistent, he has give IP as our 5th starter. 5.1 in 2021 (second best on staff to Nate) 5.4 in 2022 (just 0.1 behind Nate and Wacha) 5.1 in 2023 (behind Bello and 0.1 below the league avg.)
  12. moonslav59
    I feel the same way. Just one would be enough to get me into the content category, but 2 -3 would make us real contenders.
  13. moonslav59
    I wasn't downplaying Troy, but Bloom has been here for 4 years, so trying to find a waiver guy to match a 7 yr bWAR is not a fair comp. If Schreiber continues, as is, he could pass Troy after 7 yrs.
  14. moonslav59
    Troy was with the Sox for 7 yrs. Schreiber 3.6 bWAR is 2.1 yrs. Bernardino 1.2 in 1/2 yr. Ref 1.3 in 2 yrs. Arroyo 2.2 in 3.5 yrs (I might be missing someone.)
  15. moonslav59
    Hard to know for sure if Dan D could have built a winner under JH. Theo was awesome.
  16. moonslav59
    Sustain a 3-4 year window? Maybe, it means between windows, we don't finish in last place 3 out of 4 years? Because, we still keep a steady flow of maturing prospects?
  17. moonslav59
    Maybe. I think he'd prefer a $150M/6 guy or two $110M/5 guys, though.
  18. moonslav59
    Yes, for sure.
  19. moonslav59
    Trades. Lackey and Price were really the only two major FA attempts Trades: Pedro (pre-JH) Schilling Beckett Sale Porcello (not really an ace) It has worked, for us, Compare that list to our homegrown aces since the late 90's: Lester
  20. moonslav59
    It seems to be what the Sox history has been. Build up, add an ace, win a ring, reset, rinse and repeat.
  21. moonslav59
    I guess that is worse than being choked.
  22. moonslav59
    I like him, a lot, too. I knew I was forgetting someone I liked.
  23. moonslav59
    I do, too, but I like Houck, Whitlock and Crawford more for pen duty than Pivetta. He seems to give more inning, even if maybe not as good as others.
  24. moonslav59
    The 5th starter will be Pivetta.
  25. moonslav59
    I forgot to put Yamamoto on the list.
