    It is. It was also pretty clear in March that no AL team looked really good.
  2. moonslav59
    Yes. My point was that I thought we hired the assiatnt before the interim hitting coach. ass backwards.
  3. moonslav59
    I remember one poster wanted him demoted. He hit .943 May 1st>>>

    .574 Bichette .590 Naylor .637 Alonso .663 E Suarez .692 Bregman .700 Okamoto

    Exactly. If not for a couple good half seasons after 2019, Bregman would have had horrible numbers, but hey, he's a great clubhouse guy. That's gotta be worth $35M+.
  6. moonslav59
    Yup, with Mayer/Romy at 3B. Us armchair GMs suck the most, yet are the most vocal about firing Brez.
  7. moonslav59
    Cora? LMAO! The guy couldn't even bring himself to politely ask Devers if he'd even consider just thinking about trying a 1Bmans mitt on.
  8. moonslav59
    Even our final offer was too much, so mistakes made or not by our FO, it all worked out for the best on that singular non move, IMO. The Contreras trade is looking real good, right now, but the season is long. I just wish we'd have added another big infield bat, or at least bigger than Durbin/IKF. I thought the pen could be helped by starters who did not make the rotation, but we have already gone through all of them and even had to start Rivera.
  9. moonslav59
    Chapman won with the Rangers in 2023, too.
  10. moonslav59
    To add to the pen, then no IKF signing, or no Oviedo trade- trade for a pen arm not him. Hindsight there woulda been nice, but I think the Suarez and Contreras deals are looking pretty good. Sonny Gray needs to comeback.
  11. moonslav59
    So, would people like Brez more if he... signed Alonso over the Contreras trade signed Bregman over Suarez traded for Nate not Gray
  12. moonslav59
    Are Contreras and Chapman the only 2 Sox players with WS rings?
  13. moonslav59
    Okay, Dr Phil.
  14. moonslav59
    We used to speak of the unbalance on the farm with crappy pitching, then it swung to pitching and too few bench pieces on the farm that were ML ready everyday players. Now, with so many pitchers on the IL, the farm only has 3 pitchers on the 40: Bennett was in AA last year Anderson & Rivera were just added to the 40 a few days ago. Everyday players: Gasper, Cheng, Campbell, Eaton, Sogard & Seigler. I gotta think if we add a pitcher to the 40, we may cut one of these everyday players loose. but then again, we could just cut Watson loose. IL: Gray, Slaten, Crawford & Sandoval (Uberstine) / No everyday players on the IL at BOS or Woo, except Matt Lloyd.

    While all true, Brez must have been counting on something from the kids plus Contreras & Durbin to replace this: .905 Devers (334 PAs) .838 Refsnyder (209) .821 Bregman (495) .790 N Lowe (119)
  17. moonslav59
    Mad enough to make heads roll, supposedly! LMAO. Next, we'll hear they are upset for letting Moncada get away.
  18. moonslav59
    They must have been blown away that another team would play him at SS, and somehow that convinced them they failed DHam. Not.
  19. moonslav59
    If they hired the assistant before the hitting coach, that would be typical Sox logic.
  20. moonslav59
    Yes Beni left at 25 y/0 with a 107 OPS+ and went to 101 from ages 26-31. Verdugo lest at age 27 with a 104 OPS+. He's been 79 at ages 28-29- peak prime years. Okay, Ref is past prime. but he and Romy did much better after joining BOS.
  21. moonslav59
    Devers, Bogey, Beni, Vaz, Verdugo, Refsnyder and others got worse after leaving and many were not post-prime.
  22. moonslav59
    Winning two in a row brings out the best in us! 🤣
  23. moonslav59
    I'm not sure a .605 DHam would have made a difference. He did better in 2024 under Cora & Co.
  24. moonslav59
    YRod has bolted up the stats list. Nobody in the system has more PAs and a higher OPS (1.037) Arias and Tucker are higher but have less PAs. Arias leads the system in HRs at 7, with YRod at 5. Ferguson has shot up to 1.000 but apparently forgot how to steal bases (3 w 2CS.) I lost faith in Cespedes, and now he's at .879. Godbout is now over .800. The ERA leaders with 16+ IP: 0.51 Futrell 0.54 Eyanson 0.86 Bennett
  25. moonslav59
    I do think one reason we held onto 5 OF/DHs was to cover for a possible sophomore slump by Anthony. Mayer was not handed the job, and we added IKF, Durbin & Monasterio over the winter as coverage. Campbell was handed the FT job, last spring, and we had very little behind him, but there was some hope for a DHam-Romy platoon. We started this season with Tolle & Early in AAA.
