    Valera would be snagged, if left unprotected, even if the team knew he'd be on the IL for a while, which he shouldn't still be from this injury by Sept 2028. He's not going to go to the Rule 5 draft, no matter what. This is really about when we need to use up a 40 man slot for him.
  2. moonslav59
    That's what powerful offense do!

    Pretty hard to do worse than .526 in 134 PAs, like Durbin's season, but Durbin's bad stretch is really just 24 games long and .452 in 91 PAs. In 2025, KC went... .535 in his last 172 PAs, which is about as bad as Durbin's season and with 38 more PAs. It's way better than Durbin's .452 in 91 PAs but nearly double the sample size. Now, KC's las 144 PAs was worse than both Durbin sample sizes and with more PAs than both: .451 in 144 PAs (last 39 games in MLB in 2025.) Maybe this statement was just a "happy little accident."

    Agreed. I think Story has a long leash for that reason. We don't really have horrible infield defense that necessitates an IKF late inning move, except Story, and for some reason these guys think he's still a plus on D, or at least it appears that way.
  5. moonslav59
    I like the choice.
  6. moonslav59
    Can't disagree, but I hesitate to think the media spotlight is the cause of a small sample size slump.
  7. moonslav59
    MVP says it's not calculated until after 3rd year, but we should know if missing 4 months is enough.
  8. moonslav59
    With the state of our non 1B infield, I'm not sure we should think about trading an infield prospect, unless we know something bad about them. .449 IKF (42 PAs) .526 Durbin (134) .629 Monasterio (60) .655 Mayer (109) That's 245 PAs! (17% of the team's total. 1/9th is 11% for reference.) Farm: 1.109 Arias AA 1.051 Capra AAA .947 Gasper AAA .919 Ferguson AA .896 Godbout A+ .883 Seigler AAA .810 Sogard AAA (on the 40) .777 Cheng AAA (on the 40) .755 Campbell (on the 40) .753 Eaton AAA (on the 40)

    Okay, but... .817 Caminero (1026 PAs) .804 in 433 PAs Roman Anthony. I think the kid deserves a few more PAs. Roman had pressure on him, last year, too. Once could argue more, since we were looking like a playoff team.

    Not at all. A three game sample size is too small, but a one game sample size is... I have faith Duran can get back over .700. I'm not sure Durbin or IKF can get over .600 (.550 might be too high an ask) or Story over .650. How long is the leash on these 3?
  11. moonslav59
    I have no faith in Watson and Kelly. I have some hope Weissert can turn it back around, but how long a leash do we give him? I'm big on stats, but I do wonder when I see things like this and wonder... Only two Sox pitchers have faced more batters and have a lower OPS Against than Kelly! (Same with WHIP) .409 Tolle (67 PAs Against) .549 Suarez (137) .589 Kelly (47) Samaniego has 46 PAs against and is at .479 and Chapman is at .525 with 40 PAs against, but nobody else is close. Only 3 pitchers have more IP and a better ERA.
  12. moonslav59
    Even his splits vs LHPs is better than many RHBs.
  13. moonslav59
    He did get hot for a few games: let's hope his .381 OPS over the last 3 games is just a blip. (1 for 14 w 2 BB)
  14. moonslav59
    Yes, All lies. What's funniest is when we catch you in lies, which is very often, you resort to deflections and your standby respone: "You overanalyze everything." You don't even know what nonsense means. I'll do this site a favor and stop responding to your lies, stalking and total BS.
  15. moonslav59
    Yes, after 10 years, you finally made a half confession. It marks a milestone.
  16. moonslav59
    If this is the closest you can come, I rest my case.
  17. moonslav59
    Probably all teams have one guy that blows up their numbers, but yes on Bello (and Crochet.) We are 23 runs from 10th best in MLB. It's doable, but there are no signs anyone is going to step up.
  18. moonslav59
    It's pretty sad seeing only 4 batters over .702 (Wong,) and one of them is Yoshida, who has about or less than half the PAs than 7 teammates. Nobody is over .850. .847 Contreras .841 Abreu .772 Yoshida .726 Rafaela .702 Wong .675 Anthony These 5 batters need a serious turn-around: .655 Mayer .628 Monasterio .605 Narvaez .586 Duran These last 3 batters have been horrific: .528 Story .525 Durbin .449 IKF _____________________ OPS Against (40+) .409 Tolle .479 Samaniego .525 Chapman .549 Suarez .589 Kelly .658 Moran .711 Whitlock .716 Gray .723 Early .736 Bennett .818 Crochet .899 Weissert .907 Watson .955 Bello (Anderson with 32 at .713 and Coulombe w 36 at .736.
  19. moonslav59
    24th in Runs (5 Runs from 21st and 12 from being 15th) Last year: 7th 14th in Runs Allowed (5 away from 8th and 30 away from 3rd) Last year: 10th
  20. moonslav59
    Many times, yes. You guys are so proud, you even brag about your lies.
  21. moonslav59
    Nothing like facing the Rays to bring the team back down to earth, or should I say dirt.
  22. moonslav59
    I think Watson's leash has snapped off and the dog is now running loose on the town.
  23. moonslav59
    GRE won 6-4 and had 16 hits & 5 walks. Every batter got on base 2+ times! Gonzales (5) and Godbout (5) homered. Both are now over .870. Kirwin K'd 6 in 3 scoreless innings. Seigler homered (1st) for Woo, who was up 7-4 going into the 9th. It's tied, now.
  24. moonslav59
    Complete lies. It's no use even trying with you. You and MVP, who claims he's never made a mistake are a good fit, but at least he gives specific opinions and gets a lot right.
  25. moonslav59
    How many posters here see me as the fan who bails more than most? Red does. That says it all. My loyalty to the Sox goes beyond an obsessive level. I'm literally coo-coo for Coco Puffs on this. Red blasts me for being over supportive of Ben, Bloom, Cora then in the next breathe calls me out for "bailing." Talk about extreme absurdity.
