    Still showing clear disdain.

    Boone did not get better. The team did, and they are much more healthier than years past.
  3. moonslav59
    The Cards need a SS, and they’ve been known to spend big on shiny objects from time to time. The Phillies and Giants might be in on the bidding. More teams might be involved, if Bogey agrees to play 2B or 3B right away.
  4. moonslav59
    The Cordero-Dalbec platoon is pretty close to our RF situation, IMO. The D in RF equals the O at 1B and evens them out. I do agree 1B is ahead of RF/CF, but I don’t think it’s by all that much.
  5. moonslav59
    Taking one for the team! YES!
  6. moonslav59
    There is just about zero chance we trade Bogey or any FA to be we need, and with so much money coming off the books, we should be able to spend a lot, this winter to keep or replace the big holes we will have. Judge does seem like the big prize, but there will be some heavy bidding war on him. There are some other very nice choices out there... SP Eovaldi deGrom Musgrove Kershaw Wacha Manaea Syndergaard Bassit RP Diaz Chapman Jansen OF Judge Haniger Nimmo Kike Brantley (DH) SS T Turner Correa Bogey Swanson T Anderson 2B (Story to SS?) Kike 3B (Devers to 1B?) Arenado ($35M player option) 1B Abreu Mancini Y Gurriel J Bell B Belt J Aguilar DH JD Cruz

    With Kike’s season in doubt, and JBJ back under .570, I think it’s a toss up between getting a renatl1Bman or CF/RF. We may get both plus RPer or two.
  8. moonslav59
    Is Seabold starting, tomorrow?
  9. moonslav59
    Seems like a destiny season. Even Boone can't blow it up. One good thing coming out of a Yankee WS win would be that Boone would get several more years to help the Sox out.
  10. moonslav59
    I felt that the minute I heard we signed Story. I don't think Bogey gets what you think. He's not a plus defender and may move positions shortly after signing.
  11. moonslav59
    Sox fans can turn on a dime.
  12. moonslav59
    ...and to think idiot Bloom could have traded Wink & Duran for Bell last month!
  13. moonslav59
    We’ll see. If he gets anywhere near that, it won’t be with the Sox.
  14. moonslav59
    I don’t, and I doubt any GM offers him that for more than 3-4 years. I think his ceiling is $27M x 5-6 years, but I’m far from an expert on these things.
  15. moonslav59
    Even one of those two would be more than tha Nats would insist on.
  16. moonslav59
    Good outlook and straight to the point. It's simpler than it looks.
  17. moonslav59
    1.130 OPS Against in the last 4 weeks (38 PAs Against)- worst on the team (25+ PA samples).
  18. moonslav59
    Yes, that's why I said that. Bogey for Judge and then acquiring Iggy would be great. (Not happening, but it highlights your point.)
  19. moonslav59
    Bogey is gone after this season. Trading him might makes us better in years 2-10. (I'm not for trading Bogey.)

  21. moonslav59
    Agreed, but what do we get for Bogey?
  22. moonslav59
    I'm all for getting him. I'm saying I don 't expect him to repeat his 0.900 WHIP over the next 30 IP. Saying that does not mean I think he will suck or is not worth trading for. It's his great numbers now that is sparkling and getting everyone's attention. His career numbers are fine, but not great, and not "nails." 19 IP from 2019-2021 is far from nails. WHIP 1.157 NYY decent 1.107 CWS good 1.250 TBR meh 2.100 PHI yuck 0.900 Cubs in 30 IP .608 OPS Against Career is very good. .484 OPSA in 2022 is probably not sustainable, but again, I think the hot hand theory has merit, and I'm all for getting him. I'll take .608 and 1.145 over the second half of 2022. Our pen, this year, as a whole is .665 and 1.233. Robertson looks like a clear improvement.
  23. moonslav59
    Exactly, and the hot hand theory applies to the cold hand theory, too. This is just not Robles year, although it's entirely possible we DFA him, and he does well at his next stop.
  24. moonslav59
    Yesterday's game is an example where maybe using Houck early cold have produced a win, but we only know that through hindsight. Robles was facing the bottom of the order. Nobody thought: let's bring in Houck, now. I try not to change my opinions based on one game, or even 5-10 games, but I've wanted Robles gone for weeks. Cora must feel there is a chance he can regain whatever he had earlier in the season and for parts of last season. I never thought he was all that good to begin with- same with Diekman, but what do I know?
  25. moonslav59
    I said I'd trade Northcut for Robertson and DFA Robles. It's worth it by a long shot. I'm just saying, I don't expect Robertson's next 30 IP to be nearly as good as his first 30 IP, but I'm all for going with the hot hand theory.
