    It's a half game now, baby!
  2. moonslav59
    Comparing these two is like apples to oranges. Franchy has played in parts of 7 MLB seasons: Duran in 3, including just 9 games, this year.
  3. moonslav59
    They might have been afraid Hamilton would be taken Rule 5, and his hot start is showing maybe they might be right about protecting him, but we should know more about him in a couple months. His trade value might have risen over the first month, but I doubt many GMs are swayed over small sample sizes, like many of us are.
  4. moonslav59
    I totally agree, and he didn't have to go expensive at middle IF. I will say, he seems to have done a good to very good job filling these high need, off season slots: Closer: Jansen Set-Up: Martin (TBD a bit) CF: Duvall (until hurt, but Duran is filling in nicely) LF: Yoshida DH Turner Our OF went from near worst to near best, overnight. Our pen went from bottom 8 to top 8. Trusting in Bello and Casas is looking questionable, early in the season, but trusting in Duran as OF depth and Wink/Crawford as long men has looked good, so far.

    I think the hope was McGuire for 3 SP'ers and Wong for 2. (Maybe 4-1)
  6. moonslav59
    He already had better OPSA with more RP'ers than Wong, but Crawford is the only SP'er with better numbers with McGuire. That could change with just one bad inning with Wong.
  7. moonslav59
    We are 7-5 in games Ort has pitched. (Take note, Bell.) We are 2-3 in games he has allowed a run. Of the 3 losses, only one would (could) have been won had he not allowed a run- game 1 vs BAL. That being said, we are tempting fate everytime we bring him in. 1.805 WHIP .960 OPS Against is MVP material- for a batter!
  8. moonslav59
    You're killing me!
  9. moonslav59
    As bad as his 6.75 ERA looks, he's actually had 2 good starts, and a third one was looking pretty good until the 5th inning- the one where Bleier allowed 2 inherited runners to score. vs PIT 5 IP, 3H, 1ER 1BB, 2K vs TBR 4.2 IP, 4H, 1BB, 7K (2 IR scored) vs BAL 6 IP, 5H, 1ER, 0BB, 3K He's basically been okay to good, every other start: Bad-good-ok-bad-good

    It's hard to sORT through all these ORTisms.
  11. moonslav59
    If we could only get the Yanks to take Ort back, right before we play them.
  12. moonslav59
    Good retORT! Made me snORT. I hope to read the shORT repORT from this spORT of baseball that his cohORTs made no effORT to stop his depORTation. There is no discomfORT in my suppORT of his DFA. Maybe he will be sent to PORTland- maybe to the Yanks maybe eaten by the BladderwORTs.
  13. moonslav59
    Iggy signs with the team that has 13 SSs- the Padres.
  14. moonslav59
    That time was long ago, but Bloom has to finally think the same way. AbOrt this mission!
  15. moonslav59
    Updated Sox OPS 1.544 Duvall (still 2nd in HRs and 3rd in RBI!) 1.062 Duran (.417 OBP) .890 Devers (.598 SLG) .852 McGuire (.390 OBP) .847 Dugo (steady) .807 Yoshida (10 BB/ 9 K & .376 OBP) .767 Turner (.376 OBP) .679 Kike (Heating up) .663 Ref (.353 OBP) .605 Casas (needs to step it up) .549 Wong (doing it on D) .515 Chang (playing good D at SS) .474 Arroyo (needs to snap out of this funk)
  16. moonslav59
    AbORT!
  17. moonslav59
    How is there any remaining sliver of hope for Ort? Come on, Bloom!
  18. moonslav59
    Yup. Some "suspects" take time to get it together. He even made a very nice catch, last night.
  19. moonslav59
    Duvall who? Man o man, our CF position sure is hitting, this year.
  20. moonslav59
    Duran just went from butterfly man to a condor.
  21. moonslav59
    The park dimensions is another HR factor as well as parks better suited for LHBs or RHBs and what hand the pitcher throws from. K's and BBs can be affected by who the ump is, but that likely evens out, unless you are a rookie or respected vet with ump cred.
  22. moonslav59
    Top OPS on the Sox Farm (32+ ABs) .997 Hamilton (Renfroe trade) .972 Meidroth ('22 draft) .910 Chacon ('19 IFA) The only DD guy on this list. .871 Sogard (Springs/Mazza trade) .863 Ferguson (Groome trade) .848 Hickey ('21 draft) .847 Rosier (Groome trade) .846 Yorke ('20 draft) OPS Against (10+ IP) .388 Sharp MiLB FA '22) .398 de la Rosa (Beni trade) .412 Drohan ('20 draft)
  23. moonslav59
    I'm not giving up hope on this year's rotation's ability to turn things around, but my hopes are fading. Was the way Bello looked at the end of 2022 a mirage? Can Whitlock find his groove as a starter? Can Houck continue looking fine as a starter? Pivetta is about the only "known commodity" we have in the rotation, but he's just a very good #5. The rest is on some vets and prospects: Sale, Kluber and Paxton as the vets and Mata, Walter and Murphy (Drohan?) as the prospects. By next winter, Kluber and Paxton's control is up. Sale and Pivetta will be on their last years, so we should have the outlook of treating the rotation as a high need area in terms of allocating resources to upgrading it. I sure hope so. I had hopes we'd have spent more on it, this past winter, but it is what it is.
  24. moonslav59
    Yes. With bonuses and options, it's hard to know exactly what the numbers are, and different sites have differing actual and luxury numbers.
  25. moonslav59
    I thought the Price signing was needed, despite the 2-3 extra years. He had a record nearly unmatched by any big pitcher signing in that decade.
