    Our DH defense is atrocious! LOL. Okay, make it a "C-"

    He wont hit .800 and have 20 Hrs in any season going forward. He may not even do one of those by itself. He's 32. He's hit over .801 twice in his last 6 seasons and one of those was his 114 gm 2025 season. He's hit over 20 Hrs three times in his last 6 seasons, which includes the 2020 COVID season.

    The O is getting worse- not better!

    Do non Sox fans see the Sox as being "frugal" and "cheap?" Most teams spend less or way less. Hardly any teams spent more new money in the last two years than the Sox, including extensions and deals like Buehler's.

    Broken record time.
  7. moonslav59
    Indeed.

    On the flip side, one reason I had optimism, this year was that I expected our pre-prim and prime players for improve- very few did.
  9. moonslav59
    It's uncommon for players to have good/better years after 31 or 32 years old. It's stabbing in the dark- something this team is really bad at, yet we keep asking them to stab and stab again and a again. (Myself included.)

    We unloaded 10+ players by trade, 10+ to FA and 10+ prospects. 10+ Traded: Fitts, Harrison, Dobbins, Bernardino, Hicks, Jh Garcia, DHam, Grissom, Guerrero, Sandlin, Murphy 10+ FA or DFA: Bregman, N Lowe, Giolito, DMay, Matz, Wilson, Criswell, I Campbell, Refsnyder, Toro, Winckowsi, Burdi 10+ Prospects: Perales, Drohan, Hoppe, Clarke, Fajardo, Aita, Travieso, Galle, Mata, Riemer, T Gray, Paez (R5)

    They'd insist we take Devers back.
  12. moonslav59
    I hesitate to say maybe now is the time and place to start something, so I'll leave it unsaid.
  13. moonslav59
    LOL. You think I'd know that
  14. moonslav59
    Huh? Adames has 5 years left: Arias may be up in 2 years.
  15. moonslav59
    They never even shared a beer.

    Game start time moved up to 5:10 pm ET.

    The word "built" has too nice a context. They dismantled a decent 2025 offense. Devers-Bregman- N Lowe- Refsnyder
  18. moonslav59
    I'm not sure just a 0.3 reduction for a 31 and 33 year player is "fair." Possible, yes. Likely, no. I like those two players, but I can't help but think they both will be the next Story and Yoshida in 2-3 years... maybe even 1- 1.5 years.
  19. moonslav59
    There was too much speculative value on the opening day roster. Getting one more big bat was a hedge against too many players doing poorly. If anyone thinks we could have gotten a big bat AND Suarez (or Gray,) I fully disagree. Okay, could have "if JH spent more," but that wasn't happening. It was either or. Let's say we got Bregman, then our rotation would have Bello & Bennett, right now.
  20. moonslav59
    We were 5 games under .500 on June 6, 2025, won 8 of the nest nine and were still 2 games under .500 on July 2nd. This board was not very encouraged after 90 games, last year.
  21. moonslav59
    I think that is mainly it. I remember thinking we should get more than Paredes for Duran- like King, Sousa or Janek, or even 2 of those three, but I'm not sure I'd have said no for one on one. (I think HOU did say no, so that point is mute.) I remember notin suggesting Duran for Rushing and nobody rushing to agree. (Not sure LAD would have said yes.) MVP suggested Duran for prospects, and posters gasped. Word was the Padres wanted him, but I never heard a suggested offer.

    L-S-L-R-L-R-L-R-S Did Cora make out this line-up card? Duran CF Gasper DH Abreu RF Contreras 1B Yoshida LF Monasterio SS Mayer 2B Wong R Sogard 3B
  23. moonslav59
    I guess some nerds are ex-players, too. (Brez & Cora)
  24. moonslav59
    These guys will never give the impression they are rebuilding, let alone a 3 year rebuild, so I doubt Whitlock is traded. (Contreras also has 2 years after '26.) Trading 1.5 year players like Duran might be asking too much, and his stock is so low, it's probably worth holding on to a slim promise he rebounds. Bello's stock has tumbled as he and KC have many years of control left, so they go nowhere quickly. Chapman and Gray are the two obvious considerations. Sandoval, IKF and Coulombe will bring back nothing and will be gone, next year. You can trade them at the deadline and not be screaming "rebuild." It's just giving up on the current season. Story and Yoshida have too much salary lingering to be tradable, unless we attach a prospect, pay 70-85% or take back a salary dump. Duran is not highly paid, but we couldn't trade him last winter, so who wants him now?
  25. moonslav59
    After adding Crochet, Suarez, Gray, Contreras & Chapman over the last 2 years, I think they felt the rebuild was complete and just some tweaks were needed. Most of the core players are under control for 2+ years- many at low or reasonable salaries. The Sox brass might admit to a 2023-2024 "rebuild era."
