    I think the gods are punishing jacko for being so mean about the Sox.
  2. moonslav59
    We could win our next 12 and be even with the 2018 record.
  3. moonslav59
    Mondesi is like the Paxton of middle IF'ers.

    If Valdez stick in the line-up and becomes an everyday batter, DH seems to be the best spot for him. For that to happen, Turner would pretty much have to go to 1B, which squeezes Casas before he's really had a chance to prove himself. I guess we could totally give up on middle IF defense and play Valdez/Arroyo at 2B and Kike/Arroyo at SS, but that seems too scary. You can't stick Valdez in LF with the way our OF is playing, right now, and our best defensive OF'er (Kike) playing SS. If it was closer to the trade deadline, one could imagine some sort of trade to move some pieces around, but that just doesn't happen in May.

    You mean McGuire, but well said.
  7. moonslav59
    The sample size is still rather small, but keep playing the hot hand! He's at .916, now. Duran is up to 1.113! Yoshida is up to .850 and has silenced all the critics, for now.
  8. moonslav59
    You crack me up. "The time" has been "now," so many times, I've lost count. Like I've said over and over, Cashman and Boone are the best GM & manger combo the Sox have had in a long time. They never stop helping us look good.
  9. moonslav59
    At this point, the only other option, Arroyo, looks like a step up.
  10. moonslav59
    Indeed. Very true. I don't hear much talk about overpaying Yoshida or how Duran should never get another chance, either. The suspect, Valdez isn't doing too shabby, so far, either. (Much more to prove, of course.)
  11. moonslav59
    They may trade him for the next Dugo, rinse and repeat.
  12. moonslav59
    Dugo has come into his own!
  13. moonslav59
    It is sickening to watch an excellent defensive CF'er play like a clown at SS. With 3 SSs on the IL, we have very few options.
  14. moonslav59
    Where? Who makes trades in May? We have 3 SSs on the IL, with none due back very soon.
  15. moonslav59
    Okay. I just joined. As I fast forward the game and get caught up live, I sometimes join the game thread. It would be nice if Valdez could field a position just average.
  16. moonslav59
    Phew!
  17. moonslav59
    Despite the jack?
  18. moonslav59
    Maybe he ends up at DH with Turner moving to 1B, at least on a platoon. vs RHPs 1B Casas DH Turner 2B Valdez vs LHPs 1B Turner DH Valdez 2B Arroyo
  19. moonslav59
    The kids keep coming through. To think, some felt Abreu was the better part of the Vaz trade- E Valdez is looking sharp at the plate.
  20. moonslav59
    It's only May 1st, and there is a lot of season left to go, but whodathunk our CF position would be #2 in fWAR at 2.1? If the D was better, we'd be 1st by a mile. After Yoshida's slow start, the LF position is near average at 0.3. Verdugo has carried the RF position to 5th best at 1.3. OF: TBR 4.0, BOS 3.3, HOU 3.1, LAA 3.0. Our OF OPS is .890! Other positions: 9th at 3B 0.8 13th Pen 1.0 14th DH 0.2 15th C 0.5 21st SS 0.2 25th 2B -0.2 26th 1B -0.5 28th SP 0.2

    It may take Sale less time, as he missed some time after TJS due to other non-arm related injuries. You are right, though, it takes time to get that muscle memory back.

    Many blamed restgate or overuse of the starters in 2018, but not replacing Kimbrell and Kelly hurt, too. We also made no moves at the deadline, then had massive budget cuts after 2019. 2018>2019 SP ERA: 3.77> 4.95 SP OPSA .697>.781 RP ERA: 3.72> 4.40 RP OPSA .700>.736 We spent to extend Nate and he started 12 games with a 5.99 ERA. Porcello crapped himself (5.52). Here were the RP iP Leaders: 78 Walden 72 Workman 64 Barnes 56 Brasier 55 Brewer 46 Taylor 40 Hembree 34 Veleazquez 29 Weber 27 DHern, 24 Josh A Smith, 23 Cashner, 20 Shawaryn... 2018 66 Kelly 62 Kimbrel 62 Barnes 60 Hembree 55 Velazquez 41 Workman
