    I’m not for trading either one. I’d have to be blown away to even listen to an offer. Maybe I’m wrong, but I really like how we have two of the best long relief men in baseball, and that seems to be the direction baseball is headed towards. I’m leaning towards keeping both in their current roles, but moving one (Whitlock IMO) to the rotation makes sense, too.

    Be careful what you wish for.

    Thanks for sharing. Lugo was a good player. It would have really helped, if he could have filled the lead off slot, but his defense was a plus, until the injuries messed with that. He played hurt, a lot. RIP, Julio.

    Who do you trade for Olsen? Could you try to get a pitcher, too?
  5. moonslav59
    The Braves prove they are smart.
  6. moonslav59
    Indeed. Seager does seem like the most obvious prediction, but you guys need another top pitcher. Sev might be that guy, but better to count on him as frosting on the cake. We have 3 major needs and a couple minor ones: SP P P Utility infielder P

    Manny Pina signs with Braves for $8/2. That’s more than I expected. This was a guy I thought we might replace Vaz or Plawecki with.
  8. moonslav59
    I had hopes we’d trade for him, last deadline. I’d prefer him to Matz, too.
  9. moonslav59
    Now, I’m thinking maybe we should sign him. Lol
  10. moonslav59
    We won over 72% of ERod’s starts since 2018. That will be greatly missed and hard to replace. I have very high hopes for Houck and Whitlock, but they have a lot to prove as starters.
  11. moonslav59
    Another Ottavino type deal?
  12. moonslav59
    There is potential for a plus, but it’s certainly not a given. Replacing Richards and Perez is another comp. if we sign Matz, I’d say he’s replacing those two not ERod.
  13. moonslav59
    That would be decent, but is that an upgrade on a a pen that was considered a weak spot minus Ottavino, Robles, Richards and then Houck & Whitlock?
  14. moonslav59
    And who replaces them in the pen?
  15. moonslav59
    Name names.
  16. moonslav59
    That sounds reasonable, but we'd need to do more than just add him.
  17. moonslav59
    I think I read $39M/3.
  18. moonslav59
    Surprisingly, he has a lower OPS Against at home in his career. (.737 in COL to .765 Away)
  19. moonslav59
    Same as "sign him." Your point was clear.
  20. moonslav59
    Then, they should have extended him in July or traded him.
  21. moonslav59
    It certainly is not "unf***ing believable!"
  22. moonslav59
    Excellent closers are not easy to find at a low cost. I think Houck has a great profile to be a top closer, next year. I like him better than Iglesias or Hand and he'll be $10-14M cheaper. Whitlock looks like he could be a very good SP'er and can get through the 3rd time through more easily than Houck, but having a RP'er that can go 2-3 innings is a huge asset in an era where starters rarely go 5 or 6 innings. Again, I'm fine, if we use Whitlock as a starter, especially if we can trade for Trivino or the like, but until we do, I'm thinking I'd rather us sign Stroman, Glausman, Ray or Rodon than Igesias or Hand. (Matz > Hand, too.)
  23. moonslav59
    They could offer a QO, then extend him.
  24. moonslav59
    If it is a straight dollar for dollar exchange, we'd have $47M or $39M minus Kike and Sawamura to spend, this winter. $10M Richards $8M ERod $8M Ottavino $7M Kike (x 2) $6M Perez $3M Marwin $2M Andriese $2M Santana $1M Sawamura (x 2)
  25. moonslav59
    You really think keeping two pitchers where they have proven to be great is that absurd? You'd want us to spend huge on R Iglesias and Brad Hand? To me, that is unf***ing believable! (and a typical Sox fan mindset.) BTW, I wouldn't mind moving one, preferably Whitlock, to the rotation, but to me, it's easier to sign a reliable SP'er than a reliable closer. Tell me that is absurd.
