    Because, like you said, they played in the NLE.

    Every year, we hear how we need to emulate the team that just one it all, and the following year a different team wins using a whole different approach, and then we hear the same thing. There are many ways to win in MLB. Loading up on studs improves your chances, but nothing is ever guaranteed, except maybe 2018. (lol).

    Always good to see an underdog win it all- even better it was vs the Astros. "Wait till next year" has begun for all 29 teams.
  4. moonslav59
    You just admitted enjoying it after saying you don't. (It's not about the words chosen by me, anyway.) There is no dehumanization of the game going on, and the umps are not dehumanized either. They are given a tool to do a better job, and they still have to make calls other thn balls and strikes.
  5. moonslav59
    Errors by players are part of "the game." The games are meant to be about the skill levels of the players. Errors by umps don't have to be and add nothing to the game.
  6. moonslav59
    Why are you okay with even 1%?
  7. moonslav59
    Safety and security of the longer term deal that may not be there after 2022. I’m not certain he will, but I’m leaning yes.
  8. moonslav59
    Schwarber must not get many rbi chances because his numbers don’t match the rbi totals: Career BA/OPS .237/.836 Career RISP: .221/.826 Men on base: .243/.850 Those numbers should have more rbis. He also does not have many seasons with 600+ PAs. (1) He has just 2 with over 472 PAs.
  9. moonslav59
    If he goes to free agency and it’s the best offer, probably yes. I might go $51/3 or $62M/4
  10. moonslav59
    Like what $48M/3?
  11. moonslav59
    The other thing is that it is very likely players better than Potts & Rosario will be non-tendered or DFA'd at the same time as our two or three. They very likely would not get claimed.
  12. moonslav59
    I put 4, because they could make that a low number to lower the AAV.
  13. moonslav59
    Cannon will not be added to the 40. Casas does not need to be added, so they will hold off on adding him, until he is needed. I'm not sure Bello or Murphy see MLB in 2022. All the rest very well might.
  14. moonslav59
    It does to people who say, I would never trade Casas.
  15. moonslav59
    That's why getting back someone with 3-5 years of team control helps the equation. If Sale had one year left, no way I make that trade.
  16. moonslav59
    I'm probably higher on Dalbec than many, here, so I'd be open to trading Casas for a big return. I'd like to keep Mayer, Bello and Yorke, but I'd listen to any offers.
  17. moonslav59
    Well, if you go by BTV, Duran and Downs have enough value to bring back something pretty nice. Add Groome and even better. I'm open to trade anyone, if the return is better. A lot has to do with years of team control. Getting a player with 4 or 5 years of control, I'm much more likely to trade a top prospect for a better known player.
  18. moonslav59
    BTV values Sox prospects as such... 54 Casas 43 Mayer 43 Houck (not a prospect anymore) 23 Duran 22 Yorke 21 Whitlock (not a prospect) 12 Downs 11 Jimenez 6.0 Mata 4.8 Bello 4.5 Jordan 4.3 Groome 3.9 Gonzalez 3.5 Seabold 3.3 Winckowski 3.0 McDonough & Rosario 2.8 RHernandez 2.6 Bonaci, Ward & Decker 2.4 Bleis, Potts & Wong 2.2 Murphy (Only over 2's listed.)
  19. moonslav59
    He did say he was okay with trading Duran, Mata, Groome and Winckowski.
  20. moonslav59
    Yes means no, right?
  21. moonslav59
    You don't want to watch him yelling at the umps from the stands? Now, that would be entertainment!
  22. moonslav59
    I put no, but he might say no and re-sign here for a 2-4 years deal at less AAV.
  23. moonslav59
    I think we offer it, and he takes in hopes he has a good and full year and get's a longer term big deal after 2022.
  24. moonslav59
    We don't know if these guys will be non-tendered, but you bring up some interesting facts about some of them. Thanks. We don't know what Iggy will cost ($5M/2?) and sometimes non-tendered players make more than that (like Renfroe's $3.1M).
  25. moonslav59
    We heard you were deep, last year, too.
