    No doubt. I’m not sure exactly how tight the budget was, and in hindsight getting a RF/1B instead of Diekman or even Hill would likely have helped, assuming he chose wisely, but I still think the 1B plan looked fine on opening day. I was more worried about RF and RP than 1B.
  2. moonslav59
    Is writing about not wanting to write about this more productive? Lol 😉
  3. moonslav59
    The plan was Dalbec at 1B and Shaw as possible insurance, in case Dalbec started slow, again. By the time we realised neither could do well, Casas would be ready. Let’s not forget that Dalbec had one heck of a hot streak that lasted longer than his slow start to 2021. It’s not like it was known he’d fail. Casas could have been ready in April or May. Hell, some wanted him on the opening day roster.

    You do t have to convince me. My point is, the Sale contract prevents one or two major slots from being filled. We can shuffle around who that might be, but it is someone or 2 or more someones or multiple downgrades at several positions. Shake it up the way you prefer.
  5. moonslav59
    Even after 2021, it was much higher than now. I understand they needed someone to carry them to Casas, so I don’t really blame Bloom for the 2022 1B plan.
  6. moonslav59
    Shoulda traded Dalbec when is stock was higher.
  7. moonslav59
    Maybe Smith and some salary dump could come back to BOS as part of the trade. BTV also accepted: Duran, Nate, JD & Vaz for Mauricio, Ziegler, Carrasco & Smith
  8. moonslav59
    Okay, we keep Bogey and Sale's contract keeps us from replacing Nate and JD.
  9. moonslav59
    I have but only if we expand the roster size to 28 or more.
  10. moonslav59
    Well said.
  11. moonslav59
    Of course, and trying to project next year's rankings is pretty much folly.
  12. moonslav59
    I'm far from hot and bothered. I'm just not able to get excited over names I don't know, and who services had slotted way lower than our slots. I am super excited about the progress of our farm since Bloom's take-over. I'm also happy that many of the prospects DD acquired did better than I expected back when Bloom took over.
  13. moonslav59
    True, but it's easier to get excited about a #4 or 5 pick.
  14. moonslav59
    Somehow, Bloom will still get the blame.
  15. moonslav59
    Like Whitlock, Pivetta, Story, Wacha, Schreiber and maybe someone he acquires, this winter? My guess is 2 or 3, like now.
  16. moonslav59
    My projection was for next summer. It's hard enough to rank prospects, now.
  17. moonslav59
    He's 3 years younger, so he doesn't really need to do better than Rafaela, now, to be viewed as having more upside and being ranked above. I will say, I'm very high on Rafaela and had a hard time putting Bleis ahead of him. Ask me tomorrow, and I may predict Bleis 5th.
  18. moonslav59
    Yes, but when you draft this low, it's such a crap shoot. It's easy to pick a guy, see the upside and get all gah-gah, and think we got a steal, no matter who we might have drafted. I'm not trying to rain on your or anyone's parade. I'm hopeful Bloom did well, but our first picks seemed to be guys many had going later or much later. I'm having a hard time getting overly optimistic.
  19. moonslav59
    BTV accepted... Duran, Nate, JD & Vaz for Mauricio & Ziegler
  20. moonslav59
    Everybody drafted in the first few rounds "could be..."
  21. moonslav59
    My guess, next summer. 1. Mayer 2. Bello 3. Bleis 4. Rafaela 5. Mata 6. Casas 7. Walter 8. Murphy 9. Jordan 10. Yorke Just a hunch.
  22. moonslav59
    I have no idea how well we drafted. I only posted this one, because it was the only site I could find that gave a grade for the entire draft by teams.
  23. moonslav59
    Should have kept Frank.
  24. moonslav59
    Super large on someone or Story and Suzuki, which I’m glad now we did not do
  25. moonslav59
    He had two good seasons- both under 200 PAs. I’m not feeling any good vibes about him.
