    Yes. The deadline deals made us better in 2022 and beyond... something not to easy to do. + McGuire + Pham + Hosmer + multiple prospects, including Valdez, Abreu and Freguson + dumping Diekman ? Hosmer (free) - Vaz - Groome I also think the net results of all his winter moves does not come to a negative: Negative: JBJ trade Diekman signing (turned into a plus by dumping his contract and acquiring McGuire for multiple years) OK: Hill ??? Story Good: Strahm Great: Wacha Schreiber Refsnyder

    You forgot waiver wire: Schreiber. On FA signings, he did very well on Wacha at $7M and Strahm for just $3M. Hill at $5M was not horrible. Diekman's signing sucked, but we got the CWS to take his contract and give us a catcher we might use as our starter. Last year, he swung and missed on Richards and Perez, but it looks like he was just a year off on Martin. The Ottavino trade brought us German, too. Not a bad deal, even if German doesn't do great. He has yet to go large and long on a pitcher, or trade anything of value for a solid one. That may (should) change, this winter.

    It takes a while to build up the farm, then a few more years for them to mature into MLB players who prove the system worked. The farm looks better, now, but only time will tell.

    I'm glad the brought him up, this year, even if it was a bit rushed.

    I'd be happy with Devers Bogey Wacha Kike Nimmo RP'er Top OBP FAs on this Winter's Market (2019-2022) 10. Nimmo .379 13. Bogey .377 16. Y Grandal .372 22. Brantley .368 33. Rizzo .362 40. Belt .357 41. Abreu .355 42. Correa .355 45. Bell .354 48. Cruz .353 49. Muncy .353 55. JD .351 64. C Santana .349 73. T Anderson .347 77. K Wong .345

    Abreu and Valdez are finally showing what they can do.
  7. moonslav59
    Georgia really showed just how much the PAC-10 sucks.

    Their system goes deeper than just the guys who ran it, from time to time. It's the lower guys, apparently, that do all the leg work and find and develop talent. You'd think the guy who literally wrote the book on the Ray's system would know how to establish it here with the Sox, and maybe over time, it will come to fruition, but as the Smiths would sing... How Soon is Now?

    Speaking of getting on base, Woo drew 11 BBs, today. (6 Ks) Almonte and Sogard walked 3 times, each. EValdez walked twice and homered. Woo won. GRE is up 3-0 in the 7th. Hickey 2-3 with a homer.

    I see Kavadas as more about OBP than power. I don't see Yorke, Mayer and Romero as all or nothing type players. They walk and get hits. Power is their, but it's not number 1. To build the pen from the system will take time, so how else can we do it, without spending? Uehara's don't come along all that often.
  12. moonslav59
    Very short list, and the few that are good will cost way too much.
  13. moonslav59
    Should we spend big on the pen, like the Yanks? Has Bloom been drafting and signing big hulk power guys and not OBP guys that I'm not aware of? He traded away a 30 HR guy. He signed Story. He drafted Yorke with his first pick ever. He drafted Mayer with the highest pick the Sox have ever had. He drafted Romero, this year. None are big power guys.
  14. moonslav59
    Will the Sox show interest in an of these free agents? SP: deGrom, Wacha (QO?), Rodon, Kershaw CF/RF: Judge, Nimmo, Kike, Haniger 2B: KWong, AFrazier SS: Turner, Correa, Bogey, Swanson, Anderson RP: Diaz, Jansen, Treinen, Fulmer, Ta.Rogers, Montero 1B: Rizzo, Bello, Abreu, Mancini, Aguilar, Y Gurriel, Belt C: Contreras, Narvaez
  15. moonslav59
    If this is true, I hope they win the division and then lose round one.
  16. moonslav59
    And, Bloom was criticized for not doing what Cashman does (this year and last.) Unlike Cashman, Blooms deals, this year, made us better, next year and beyond, too. (I suppose Montas might trun things around, but teh Yanks parted with some good prospects.)
  17. moonslav59
    All true, and I value Casas so much, I think an untested prospect is worth a known ace-type pitcher with two years at arb cost.
  18. moonslav59
    I think Nimmo can get a QO x 3-4 years. Why would he take a QO?
  19. moonslav59
    I put "Swanson/KWong" on one line- meaning one of the other.
  20. moonslav59
    If we extend Devers, we may not be able to even afford Swanson. We may be lucky to get 3 from this list: Swanson/Wong Nimmo Kike Abreu/Bell Narvaez Fulmer/Rogers
  21. moonslav59
    I get the part about them wanting to trade him, and I'm not high on Duran, but I don't see him as our 2bman. I'd rather go with Arroyo/Valdez, if we choose to go light at 2B.
  22. moonslav59
    I'd take Swanson at $22M over Correa at $33M a year. I'd rather get K Wong than Correa, too.
  23. moonslav59
    He does get on base, nicely, but at 32, I'm not so sure. Since my value of Duran is lower than what BTV gives him, I'd do it. Would they take that deal adding Yorke and Bleday?
  24. moonslav59
    143 Jack Cust '06 126 Conner Crumbliss '10 124 Colin Walsh 120 Crumbliss 117 Matt Olden '14 22 players with 100+
  25. moonslav59
    Did you know there is a hitter on the Sox farm with more than 98 BBs, this year? YES! Wilyer Abreu has 99. 3 players are over 100, this year, already. (on other teams.) Note: Max Ferguson, another Sox farmhand has 94, giving us 3 in the top 6. Are we headed back to OBP being a good thing?
