    The thing is, picking who those 5-6 might be was hard.

    Vaz, JBJ, Iggy and Alex Wilson gave quite a bit. Tazawa gave 3 good years and not much afterwards. Noe had a 5 year stretch of slightly better than "fungible."
  3. moonslav59
    How many gave 3+ years after the top 5? JBJ Alex Wilson Iggy Vaz Doubront Tazawa Noe Ramirez

    I did not say anyone was untouchable. Remember I caught flack for suggesting Casas be traded. I think Rafaela & Wikelman could net us a solid SP'er, but maybe a decent third player would have to be added.

    One trade on the BTV site caught my eye: Duran to KC for Dylan Coleman. I doubt KC would make this trade, but if we added Seabold or Murphy, maybe they would. That would fill one pen slot without losing much from the farm. Then, make the much discussed trade with the Marlins for a SP'er. If we are forced to take Garcia or can get them to add OF'er Berti, we'd fill the RF slot as well. (Getting two SP'er would be another great idea, if possible.) I'm not sure what it takes, but if we have to part with a top prospect or two from Rafaela, Yorke, Mata, walter or Wikelman, it would allow us to spend more money on SS and the pen. I know this is pure speculation, and these ideas are not new, but I think this is the only way we can get relevant in 2023 without going over the tax line, unless Bloom strikes gold with every signing.

    I knew something was off. Turner, cabrera and pen help might be enough.
  7. moonslav59
    I think more than most think there is. Besides Casas, Mayer, Bello, Rafaela and Bleis? Maybe Yorke, Ward, EValdez, Abreu, Perales, Wikelman, Lugo, Kavadas and Hickey. I do think Wong, Mata, Walter and German give 3+ years.
  8. moonslav59
    Agreed, but he looked very impressive, this year, despite allowing 46 BBs in 83 IP. 7-3 2.49 .593 OPS Against 105Ks in 83 IP (11.4 per 9 IP) He will not be on the opening day roster, but there is a good chance he gets a call in 2023.
  9. moonslav59
    I did not add Rafaela, because he was already on the list.
  10. moonslav59
    I moved Perelas up, a lot. Jordan finished the season strongly.

    The bigger part of the Holt trade was supposed to be Joel Hanrahan. I was really down on those winter moves and felt like we were playing it "half way." I hated the Dempster signing and thought the Vic deal was 1-2 years, too long. The Iggy & Montas for peavy trade helped a lot in 2013, but longterm was a losing trade.
  14. moonslav59
    I'd add Mata and Romero- maybe Walter. What can we get for Paulino & Wikelman? Adding Lugo, Murphy or Ward won't up the return needle, too much, either. A long shot might be for Bloom to identify the one top prospect he thinks has the least chance to shine brightly and package him with Wikelman and others to get something low-cost and with 3+ years of team control. If we can fill one major slot via trade- most likely a solid SP'er or closer, I think the $60-65M can be used way more effectively to fill the other 3-4 slots remaining.
  15. moonslav59
    Yes, of course, it is. Occasionally, one of gets something right. Like blind squirrels climbing over broken clocks.
  16. moonslav59
    I don't think it's unusual for cheap teams to trade off big contracts. His $12M contract is 15% of their player payroll.
  17. moonslav59
    I think it was $27M. Add price's $16M and that was a huge budget relief trade.
  18. moonslav59
    2023 may be Jeter's last chance with the Sox.
  19. moonslav59
    We are currently 18th in MLB winning % with 7 games to go. It's not likely we move to 17 or 19, but it's possible we move to 16th or 20th: 76-79 CWS 76-79 MN 74-81 BOS 72-84 AZ 69-86 CHC & LAA We are 10th in the AL (9 teams better and 5 worse) We could get to 8th or T8th by catching CWS and MN.
  20. moonslav59
    We won't, either way. I like to see our team win. I'd feel a little better knowing we only had 7 AL teams worse than us than 8 or 9. I don't think this team is as bad as its record indicates, so I'm hoping the record improves before the season ends. With all the injuries, and I know we are not the most injured team in MLB, I'd think finishing 8th in the AL would not be horrible. Just my opinion. If we do loe out the remainder of the year and move down one slot, and somehow a miracle gives us a top 6 pick, I'll be glad I was wrong.
  21. moonslav59
    Yes, I know. I posted something like, "We may get a .002 chance vs .001 by not moving down a slot."
  22. moonslav59
    I think we will sign someone large and long again, but maybe not Devers, and maybe not until after we re-set the tax in 2023 or 2024.
  23. moonslav59
    I think 2 people have mentioned it as a possible option, and even they are not "assuming" the Sox will do it.
  24. moonslav59
    That wasn't a choice, and if that is all we're doing, we might as well do nothing and just go for a top draft pick.
  25. moonslav59
    Yes, I know, whether we are the 16th worst team or the 17th.
