    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.
  2. 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.
  3. moonslav59
    Shoulda traded Dalbec when is stock was higher.
  4. 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
  5. moonslav59
    Okay, we keep Bogey and Sale's contract keeps us from replacing Nate and JD.
  6. moonslav59
    I have but only if we expand the roster size to 28 or more.
  7. moonslav59
    Well said.
  8. moonslav59
    Of course, and trying to project next year's rankings is pretty much folly.

    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.
  10. moonslav59
    True, but it's easier to get excited about a #4 or 5 pick.
  11. moonslav59
    Somehow, Bloom will still get the blame.
  12. moonslav59
    Like Whitlock, Pivetta, Story, Wacha, Schreiber and maybe someone he acquires, this winter? My guess is 2 or 3, like now.
  13. moonslav59
    My projection was for next summer. It's hard enough to rank prospects, now.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. moonslav59
    BTV accepted... Duran, Nate, JD & Vaz for Mauricio & Ziegler
  17. moonslav59
    Everybody drafted in the first few rounds "could be..."
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. moonslav59
    Should have kept Frank.
  21. moonslav59
    Super large on someone or Story and Suzuki, which I’m glad now we did not do
  22. moonslav59
    He had two good seasons- both under 200 PAs. I’m not feeling any good vibes about him.
  23. moonslav59
    I was not surprise we did not go super large this past winter, but we did pay Story and the one year deals added up to a lot. Plus JBJ.
  24. moonslav59
    It’s hard to determine what anyone “deserves.” We probably all have our own views.
  25. moonslav59
    I’m guessing this winter, but maybe next or the one after. JH rarely goes more than 3 years between sprees, and even this recent one should only be viewed as beginning after the Sale and Bogey extensions, and not the JD signing date.
