    I'm expecting Turner to have a very nice season... probably better than Drury and Brantley.
  2. moonslav59
    I'd have been okay with Drury, instead of Turner, but I'm still clinging to my mantra of us having much higher needs than DH.
  3. moonslav59
    One could say the same about just about every owner in MLB, even the lowest spending ones. If they all felt like Cohen, what would happen?
  4. moonslav59
    Unlike others, I'm not so sure Devers wants to leave Boston. It's a great hitters park for lefties, and he knows the Sox are still one of the higher spending teams in MLB, even over the last 2 years combined. Fans love him. I'm thinking Devers may have to move down by more than the Sox are willing to move up. Just a gut feeling.

    So, it's like Bogey redux. Say no to $300M a few months ago, and now offer $300M, when he won't take it. Isn't that the trap the Sox fell into with Bogey? If the final offer to Lester was genuine, same with him. They could have had him for that offer, had they made it earlier.
  6. moonslav59
    If it's true, and we know how they set a player's value and hardly budge, then it's over, already.
  7. moonslav59
    I really don't want to think about it, but I'd say we get more, now, and we should know, soon, if we can meet his demands, or not.
  8. moonslav59
    The thing is, by next year, he just may get $400M/12, at his age.
  9. moonslav59
    "Everything" has it's own special meaning to Red. We are just digging too deep into what words actually mean. He's not the only one pretending there is some legion of complete and total Bloom defenders and apologists. The ones of us who find ourselves adding context to bloom bashing posts or outright exposing falsities or partial falsities have all been critical, and at times highly critical of multiple moves by Bloom. I could be wrong, but I get the feeling a few posters who bash bloom often, have less examples of praising some of his good moves than we have on critical examples.

    They never said a player or two out of those 7-9 might be via trade- like trading away Verdugo and acquiring a SP, SS or RF'er.
  11. moonslav59
    Has we not signed J Turner, he may have come our way.
  12. moonslav59
    I think that has been more out of necessity. Since the end of March, we've seen: $140M/6 Story $90M/5 Yoshida $32M/2 Jansen $17.5M/2 Martin Maybe a 2 year deal for Kluber and or Andrus is in the works.
  13. moonslav59
    Isn't "my" a personal pronoun?
  14. moonslav59
    Our future actually looks much better than the here and now, but as the great band The Smiths would sing... How Soon Is Now?
  15. moonslav59
    There is no guarantee the next guy will spend even as much as JH, which by the way, is still top 7 or 8 in MLB.
  16. moonslav59
    Drury signs for $17M/2 with Angels. Not a bad deal, IMO.
  17. moonslav59
    Me neither, and they both make way more. I even like Kike's deal over Haniger and Benis's due to his length of the deal and the fact we already have 2 starting LF'ers.
  18. moonslav59
    It's ultimately going to com e down to JH's decision, but will always be linked to Bloom. Devers would make the hat trick.
  19. moonslav59
    Yes, he should be compared to JD and J Turner, not Kike.
  20. moonslav59
    A lot of what has gone on, this winter, has been in secret. I'm not sure who said "galaxies apart," but if either side feels like that, it's not good.
  21. moonslav59
    Would you trade Kike for either Joc or Cody?
  22. moonslav59
    Are Pederson and Bellinger that much better, if better at all?
  23. moonslav59
    I'll take Kike and CF defense. Brantley had shoulder surgery.
  24. moonslav59
    It seems like many felt we could and would sign one. Now, that one is gone, all hope is gone.
  25. moonslav59
    Remember the talk on the Kike $10M extension and "other options?" Now, we can see what "other options" ended up getting: $9M/1 Kiermaier $11M/1 Gallo $12M/1 Brantley $17.5M/1 Bellinger $19/7M/1 Pederson $43.5M/3 Haniger $75M/5 Beni
