    I never heard that. What a champion!

    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

    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.
  4. moonslav59
    Not best. FA after season. No brained.
  5. moonslav59
    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.
  6. moonslav59
    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.

    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.
  8. moonslav59
    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

    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.
  10. moonslav59
    Biggest in terms of money. Bloom also added Strahm and Schreiber.
  11. moonslav59
    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.
  12. moonslav59
    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?
  13. moonslav59
    Indeed
  14. moonslav59
    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?
  15. moonslav59
    That’s a fact!
  16. moonslav59
    He may not ever be called the best ever, but he surely was the winningest player ever. Loved his work ethic, unselfishness and intelligence.
  17. moonslav59
    Brasier to DQ for a Brasier burger with cheese.
  18. moonslav59
    A prospect that is high on drugs is the only kind we’d get for that package. JBJ has an $8M buyout.
  19. moonslav59
    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.
  20. moonslav59
    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!
  21. moonslav59
    Kavadas with 3 Ks! O-4 w BB We should have traded him when his stock was high.
  22. moonslav59
    Kinda surprised no reactions. I’m not even a Celtics fan.
  23. moonslav59
    Why would the Sox trade him to Detroit and pay his whole deal for next to nothing in return? Detroit is not looking for rentals. No bad teams are.
  24. moonslav59
    September call-up?
  25. moonslav59
    That was the plan, this year: Dalbec bridge to Casas. I do think Bloom will have to choose a slot or two to fill with prospects, and 1B will probably be one of them. Then, if Casas fails, Bloom will be bashed again for not spending what Henry didn’t give him in the first place.
