    Cots has $189.6M, so we are under by about $40-43M. Highest needs: SS SP Would be nice... P RF or Dugo/ DH or Dugo C We could spend it all on Correa (ain't happening.) We could mix and match: SS $24-26M Swanson $9-12M Andrus Or, use Story or Kike at SS and find a CF'er or 2Bman (Arroyo/EValdez?) SP $20-24M Senga $14-17M Nate $11-14M Kluber Keep $3-6M for the deadline?

    $280/11 Who, here, would have done that? I was thinking that $225/8 was a bit too high. While the extra $55M/3 does not seem too bad, those last 3 years will be at an advanced age and certainly not as a SS. I can't imagine him staying at SS more than maybe 3 years, especially since the Padres have about 5 SSs- some are better defenders at SS. I'm at least glad he went to the NL, but I hate seeing him go. Lots of great memories. I hope Devers doesn't make this a tri-defecta.

    Yes, league leading 54 games finished and 41 saves. 85% save rate. .612 OPS Against (.511 in September- his highest IP month) .573 RISP .615 RISP w 2 outs .619 High Leverage .668 Late & Close Career: .462 v Yanks .451 TBR .749 TOR .262 BOS .495 in Fenway

    I wish all our pitchers were chokes like Jansen. Playoff Numbers (65.1 IP- about a season for a Closer) 0.796 WHIP 2.20 ERA Last 2 years in playoffs, including with ATL: 9 IP 4 H 1 ER (1.00 ERA) 1 BB 16 K 0.556 WHIP Not much to laugh at.
  5. moonslav59
    Yes, at Dodger fans and you.
  6. moonslav59
    Seems like a no-brainer. Ward > Ort, Ward > Brasier and Ward > DHern. It may very well turn out to be of no or little consequence, but still...
  7. moonslav59
    Was that the same day? I was thinking maybe JD or Price signing day. Maybe the Sale trade day? Weren't Pablito and HRam signed on the same day?
  8. moonslav59
    I'm not sure. The timing was weird. Big "heavy" meeting with Bogey, then they sign Yoshida. Maybe they sign both, but where is our SP'er? Could I have been right about getting a SP via trade?
  9. moonslav59
    I think the talk was $80M after Martin signed.
  10. moonslav59
    Quick, name the last off season day as exciting as this for the Sox...

    Kinda like Dwight Evans: 162 gm avg 20-30 .269 22 74 (.826 OPS/ 123 OPS+) 31-38 .275 25 92 (.859 OPS/ 132 OPS+) Better yet, 32-37: .283 27 102 (.886/ 139 OPS+)
  14. moonslav59
    We will almost certainly be adding a SS, and might still be looking to add a real RF'er. (Trade Dugo or DH him?) I think we add a SP, too. Assuming no more additions: 1. Yoshida LF 2. Devers 3B 3. Story SS 4. Dugo RF 5. Kike CF 6. Casas 1B 7. Arroyo/ E Valdez 2B 8. Hosmer/Dalbec DH 9. McGuire/Wong C SP: Sale, Whitlock, Bello, Paxton, Pivetta (Crawford, Winckowski, Mata) RP: Jansen, Martin, Houck, Schreiber, Barnes, Joely, Crawford, Winckowski, Brasier/Taylor (Mata, Kelly, German, Walter, Murphy)
  15. moonslav59
    I think we are done adding pen arms. FYI Career Pen Splits OPS Against ® Jansen .502 v R/.587 v L ® Martin .704 v R/ .664 v L ® Houck .528 v R/ .676 v L ® Barnes .691 v R/.696 v L ® Schreiber .625 v R/.748 v L (but .676 in 2022) (L) Joely Rod. .732 v R/ .691 v L (L) Taylor .801 v R/ .478 v L

    And, he has to remain on the active 26 man roster all season long- something the Nats can afford to do. We were never going to add Song to our 40, this year, but I wish we had added Ward and Politi.
  17. moonslav59
    I think the Judge, Turner and deGrom signings mean more.
  18. moonslav59
    Maybe it is no coincidence they met with Bogey, did not sign him, and went large on Yoshida. Maybe we go, Nate, Gallo or Conforto and Andrus. Call it a day.
  19. moonslav59
    True, but it's not hindsight that some of us thought Ward and Politi showed more promise than Ort, DHern and Brasier. Song surprised me.
  20. moonslav59
    Yoshida had an OBP over .400 in 6 straight seasons. He's walked more than K'd in 4 straight seasons and came close to walking twice as much as K'ing, this season (15.7 BB rate to 8.1 K rate.) Gotta like his approach.
  21. moonslav59
    BTV accepts: Dugo, Walter, Yorke & Jordan for Lopez, Berti & Garcia (salary dump) If we don't sign Bogey, Kike plays SS in 2023. Yoshida LF, Berti CF, Garcia RF/DH. If we bring back Bogey (or Swanson/Andrus) we have Yoshida LF, Kike CF, Berti RF and Garcia at DH.
  22. moonslav59
    Sure does, and the talk of going after Bogey seems encouraging.
  23. moonslav59
    I'd have kept all 3 pitchers and said my good byes to Brasier, Ort & DHern. I'm glad we still have Wallace & Wikelman.
  24. moonslav59
    It's $23.5 not 26, and where do you get this "free-falling" stuff from? Jansen's OPS against was an awesome .615, this year, and his last 2 years have been better than 2019-2020 combined. Martin's .622 OPS Against, this year is way better than his career up to 2022 (over .700). It was .726 in 2021. These numbers show they are not in decline. Others might show some slight decline. Nothing comes close to "free falling."
  25. moonslav59
    Damn straight, and to me OBP is more valuable than SLG, so even nicer than it looks.
