    So, there is no "perfect world."
  2. moonslav59
    If you think of the most reasonable (and realistic) deals imaginable, what would we have left over to fill the other holes we have?
  3. moonslav59
    This also means they only have 6 left vs them.

    Wacha v Keuchek LHP 1. Kike 2. Devers 3. JD 4, Bogey 5. Story (finally up 5th) 6. Verdugo 7. Vaz 8, Dalbec 9. Arroyo
  5. moonslav59
    I agree. Wachas sometimes are Martin Perez's and Richards, too.
  6. moonslav59
    Not.
  7. moonslav59
    Indeed. My point was based on the idea that Sale would Chris Freakin' Sale for 4 years and his a contract for $145M/4 for that Chris Sale is not unreasonable. They gave him $145M/5, and appear to be very wrong on the assumption he'd return to form and for 4 years. I'm not trying to compare Verlander to Sale. THere are way to many differences between them, including length of deals, but the Atsros gave Verlander $66M/2 and he gave them 6 IP over those 2 years. They were not all that deterred and gave him $25M/1 for this year. I guess we are not the only team wishing an aging pitcher can keep pitching very well. Not everyone is a Scherzer.

    Agreed, and I'm fine with the Kelly choice, but I'd prefer to see Houck moved to closer and a Seabold/Winckowski call-up to fill in the long man/piggy back pitcher that Houck is, now.
  9. moonslav59
    I think the money they gave Sale factored in an expected missed season. They also factored in he'd be Chris freakin' Sale the other 4 years and not Freakin' Chris Sale.
  10. moonslav59
    I'm thinking German might be a better choice than Kelly.
  11. moonslav59
    We have a super tough stretch from June 24 to August 2nd. We better be ahead of someone by the 24th.
  12. moonslav59
    Sounds about right. What happened to Valdez. The guy looked good for along time, had one bad game (maybe 2) and was demoted. He's been in AAA ever since. I think he's pitched ab oyt 6 innings. Is he hurt? He's gotta be better than the DFA division.
  13. moonslav59
    A 4/5 starter sounds just about right for a long relief man.
  14. moonslav59
    Yes, but they don't make the ML min salary. The player benefits, which is about $16M also counts on the lux tax budget, so if your subtract that plus what you pay the 14 guys in the minors, the percent you pay your highest paid guys looks even higher.
  15. moonslav59
    Story should bat 5th.
  16. moonslav59
    Thanks. I’m very achy and congested with post nasal drip. Slight in productive cough caused by PND. The gave me paxlovid
  17. moonslav59
    I’m on my cellphone at the doc’s. So pardon my typos. I have Covid!
  18. moonslav59
    Like is already showing signs of life. Verdugo is an enigma.
  19. moonslav59
    1. Kike 2. Devers 3. JD 4. Bogey 5. Verdugo 6. Story 7. Cordero 8. Vazquez 9. JBJ
  20. moonslav59
    You guys are always getting hurt. You were lucky you lasted this long.
  21. moonslav59
    Correct, and that's a list of the most elite hitters since 2019. Devers is on the list. Of course the 4 younger players highlighted in red have exceeded Devers at early ages. I did not mean to imply he was better than those on the list, but just being named on that list is an honor.
  22. moonslav59
    20K and 4 BB in 12 IP at AAA 42 K and 12 BB in 33.2 IP at AA Short sample size, but it seems he's improving at the higher level.
  23. moonslav59
    Singing to the choir. Call up Winckowski to be the long man, if needed, but name a damn closer!
  24. moonslav59
    German more than Casas? (Also, Winckowski & Seabold can pitch in relief, too, but I do like German, a lot.)
  25. moonslav59
    I don't see it as the revolving door like the Yankee big FA signing years. We've done pretty well with the stars we let go, and we've had enough continuity to keep me a happy Sox fan, so far. If we lose Betts, Bogey and Devers, it will remind me of the dismantling of the teams of the 70's, but we sucked after that. We may not, this time.
