  1. His good start, tonight, might put an interested GM over the hump.
  2. The Yanks got better with this and other trades, but their future was hurt. I must have suggested dozens of Montas Trivino trades to the Sox on BTV. I guess it makes more sense for a PED guy to join the Yanks.
  3. Could it be a pitching slump? Could his ERA be heading towards Pivettaland?
  4. I never heard that. What a champion!
  5. Valdez jumped to #12 in BA's midseason rankings- Abreu #21. If the Astros have a similar rated system as ours, their comps might be: Paulino & Jimenez
  6. I suggested we might be buyers and sellers, but I never expected we'd buy a LF rental. The Vaz deal looks like we might have done okay.
  7. Not best. FA after season. No brained.
  8. Certainly, there were doubts aboutBobby Dee, but with him, Shaw and Casas in the system, I can’t blame Bloom for not adding a 1Bman before May or June.
  9. Good summary, but I don’t think there was much uncertainty at 1B to start 2022. The plan was to start Dalbec who had a .813 career OPS, and if he struggled, Casas would be called up.
  10. Too bad we didn’t resign Perez instead of Paxton. He would have allowed Houck to start the year in the pen and mane the piggyback idea never happens. He might have also kept Whitlock in the pen, all year, too. Had the team still sucked, we could have traded him.
  11. No doubt, and the Paxton deal, done more for ‘23 than ‘22 stands out as the one that limited what he could spend on starters. The real killer of not being able to have 4 of these 5 healthy at all times, with Pivetta, was it took Houck and Whitlock out of the pen. The pen plan has been bashed to no end, but it was really starter depth that did in the pen. IMO, this is not a bad pen: Houck Whitlock Schreiber Strahm Taylor Davis Crawford/Sawamura/Wink or Danish
  12. If we could pry O’Hoppe from the Phillies, I’d be surprised and excited. Maybe we throw money in with the big contracts or take on Kingery’s deal as an offset. Another option might be to add Verdugo or Duran, since I think I read Philly needs an OF’er.
  13. Biggest in terms of money. Bloom also added Strahm and Schreiber.
  14. Stop making sense. I’m glad we made almost all of the deals DD made. The 2018 season and 3 division titles was worth the sacrifice, IMO.
  15. The clock is ticking on a few Sox players on expiring contracts. Will we include money to get better returns or save enough to get under the tax line. We could thread the needle and do both?
  16. Indeed
  17. Do you think that speed helps give him a legitimate shot at making the bigs as a utility player? No chance of rule 5 protection, right?
  18. He may not ever be called the best ever, but he surely was the winningest player ever. Loved his work ethic, unselfishness and intelligence.
  19. Brasier to DQ for a Brasier burger with cheese.
  20. A prospect that is high on drugs is the only kind we’d get for that package. JBJ has an $8M buyout.
  21. I’m not sure about the new rules, but September call ups didn’t used to count against a player’s service time in the past, I believe.
  22. 2 college championships, including a 60 game win streak for a largely unknown college basketball program. Olympic Gold Medal winner. 11 NBA championships in 13 seasons. My math is bad, but I count 14 championships in 15 seasons!
  23. Kavadas with 3 Ks! O-4 w BB We should have traded him when his stock was high.
  24. Kinda surprised no reactions. I’m not even a Celtics fan.
