    Yup, it does seem it's all relative.
  2. moonslav59
    We could go with IKF and Monasterio, if Story continues sucking.
  3. moonslav59
    Bello versus the Brew Crew. Gotta feel confident in this game, right? 🫢
  4. moonslav59
    Cora will never do it, but the time is now for Mayer at SS and Story at 2B, at least until Romy can play there.
  5. moonslav59
    Yes, I mentioned that in a follow up post. Is #7 a "top prospect?" I guess it's all relative. It was a bad trade. We knew it at the time, too.
  6. moonslav59
    Hunter Brown placed on IL.
  7. moonslav59
    Mayer should be at SS. Weissert should maybe be the mop-up man or demoted for a while, at least. The line-up needs an adjustment, but likely won't help much, unless certain players start hitting- namely Story & Durbin. I have to think Duran & Contreras will come around, but right now, both are under .600.
  8. moonslav59
    Not a chance. The best we can hope for is finding the next Steve Pearce, but a SS or 3Bman, instead..
  9. moonslav59
    Maybe he should say we "got to play worse?"
  10. moonslav59
    It's not likely we trade for a big bat, mid season. It's not like guys like Devers get traded in June.
  11. moonslav59
    True, but some had decent bonafides. So many fail, and the odds of picking the right one are not great, but signing zero was a bit surprising. Our biggest FA everyday signing was $6M for IKF. We did spend bigly on Suarez, but the other 3-4 most significant additions were all trades: Contreras, Gray, Durbin and maybe Oviedo was viewed as more important than IKF or Coulombe. Suarez FA Contreras trade Gray trade Durbin trade Oviedo trade IKF FA Monasterio trade Coulombe FA (Bennett prospect trade)

    Saying Buehler was worse is not a defense of the stab in the dark May trade. We are known for those types of deadline trades, and nobody is happy about it. Deals like Matz and even the Luis Garcia/Lucas Sims deals are better "stabs," but our choices of SP'er trade targets have been horrific.
  13. moonslav59
    He was 7th on soxprospects,com, which is higher than I remember, but I still wouldn't say "top prospect." Decent prospects, yes. The Buehler signing was worse.
  14. moonslav59
    Tibbs and Ehrhard were not even close to top prospects. Okay, Jh Garcia was ranked 6th, but we also got Samaniego with Oviedo, and the jury is still firmly out on this deal.
  15. moonslav59
    I thought the word was the Sox wanted more, if Duran was trade for Paredes.

    Only 3 guys over .850: 1.301 Abreu 1.300 Wong .859 Yoshida 4 guys near .700: .717 Mayer .708 Ceddanne .701 Narvaez .698 Roman The sucky six: .591 Willson .581 Duran .429 Monasterio .333 Story (leads the team in PAs) .204 Durbin (this is OPS not BA!) .200 IKF ____________________ SP ERA 2.89 Early 3.27 Crochet 4.50 Gray 8.64 Suarez 9.64 Bello 9.82 Oviedo (1 GS and on IL) RP ERA (in order of IP) 3.60 Watson 9.64 Weissert 2.25 Chapman & Moran 0.00 Slaten & Whitlock 3.38 Coulombe & Uberstine 4.50 Kelly

    It's a tiny sample size, but he's been hideous.
  18. moonslav59
    No? If we win 5 series by 1 game, we'll be at .500. Winning 6 straight gets us over .500. I'd prefer your way, but realism gets in the way.
  19. moonslav59
    Tolle looked a lot better, today. 6IP 4H, 1ER 1BB 7K. Song got the save with 1 IP of hitless pitching. Castro got 2 hits and Sogard got on base 2 of 4 times (2BBs.) Woo is up 8-3 in game 2, as Gasper has homered twice and K Campbell with a solo blast. Gasper is at 1.461, now! Capra is 2 for 2 and at 1.391. Delay 1-2 and at 1.397. The game is in teh 5th inning.
  20. moonslav59
    We have to win 5 straight series to just get to .500. LMAO!
  21. moonslav59
    Yes, but my opinion is not based on wild speculation. fWAR is greatly affected by PAs and hos well you play your position. Alonso is a really bad defender at a position not highly valued by fWAR. Contreras used to be a catcher (a higher valued position than 1B) but now plays 1B. He seems to be a better defender at 1B than Alonso, and should get more PAs than he used to get as a catcher. He had his career high in PAs in 2025- his first year at FT 1B. His last 4 years of fWAR were influenced by being a catcher, but since he had less PAs due to catching, I think his WAR numbers can be similar. 3.5>2.8>2.7>2,8. It looks like Fenway might help him, so an estimate or 2.8 to 3.0 seems reasonable. Three year average: 2.8 Alonso's last 4 seasons: 3.8>2.8>2.1>3.6. It's harder to project his final 2026 numbers due to a wider range of recent production, but his 3 year average is 2.8. Yes, it's early, but they've been very close for 3 years.

    I don't know how much longer we keep Story in the two slot, but knowing Cora, it will likely be longer than most of us would choose to do.
  23. moonslav59
    Speaking of the bible, we need some thumping, soon.
  24. moonslav59
    Crawford is slated to throw four simulated innings on Monday or Tuesday before beginning a minor league rehab assignment. Crawford didn’t pitch in the majors or minors in 2025 due to both a lingering knee injury, and then wrist surgery.
  25. moonslav59
    It may not be 100% accurate, but it's consistent and pitchers/batters will know what is a strike and what is a ball.
