    I mentioned Richards as being debatable and ERod as a possibility. Yes, we won't need to decide the last 3-4 slots until after we sign FAs, but eventually, it will happen.
  2. moonslav59
    Agreed. We should note that TOR & NYY play each other, as well, so 3 losses have to come go someone.
  3. moonslav59
    85-65 BOS 83-65 TOR 83-66 NYY TOR needs to win both games in hand to tie us. The Yanks have to hope we lose.
  4. moonslav59
    Actually, some teams need others to lose- not us. The Yanks are down in the loss column, now, to both us and the Jays. I guess, if you assume the Yanks win all theirs, then the beat us 3 times.
  5. moonslav59
    The borderline list is not all that great, and some may be back as non 40 man roster players. What's the alternative? I can see saying good bye to Richards to add one more slot. (BTW, I did not count ERod back on a QO.) We could limit FA signings by spending more on less players, but I can't see us signing less than 3. If you count no Richards and 3 FA signings that leaves 4 slots for these guys: Bazardo Cordero Rios Brasier Davis Arauz Plawecki Rosario Potts Likely will not be selected Rule 5: Cottam (5) Dearden (5) Esplin (5) German (5) Granberg (5) Ort (5) T Reed (5) T Ward (5) Yes, our depth is better than last winter, but none of these guys jump off the page as someone we need to keep, and we can still keep 3-4 of them..

    Those guys can really bash it! HRs 46 Vlad 40 Semien 28 T Hernandez 25 Bichette 22 Grichuk 19 Gurriel 17 Springer (1/2 season) We're not so bad, either: 34 Devers 28 Renfroe 26 JD 23 Dalbec 22 Bogey 17 Kike 13 Verdugo

    I never said he was any good- just better than before. 7.94 (1.012 OPS) first 21 games with us. 0.00 (.367 OPS) last 6 games. Also, Austin Davis: 5.44 before BOS 5.11 (.753 OPS) first 12 games 0.00 (.558) last 5 games

    Semien hit his 40th. Min up just 2-1, now.
  9. moonslav59
    Voit just made it 11-3.
  10. moonslav59
    Of course, but so little is know of long term covid affects and there is plenty of evidence that some people feel totally better, then get weak and tired again. I'm not saying ERod may relapse, but it is probably a concern. I do know, ERod is a winner. The Sox win when he pitches, and we may have the best record with him pitching since 2018 than any other ML pitcher and team in MLB. That being said, I know wins are team stats, but ERod almost always does what it takes to keep us close enough to win. I'd offer the QO, but would not be upset, if he turns it down and we get a sandwich pick. If he takes it, it might be an overpay, but it's just a one year gamble. I'm not saying it's a slam dunk choice, but it's not an easy one, either.
  11. moonslav59
    To all those who thought we had to go 10-4 or 9-5 in our last 14, because the Yanks and Jays were supposed to win as much or more, maybe they weren't as good as we thought. Maybe trends don't always continue. (Actually, no "maybe" about it.)

    I'm not sure any of these guys get DFA'd or traded, but they are the ones that will be borderline after all is said and done. Remember, we will likely add 3-5 free agents or trade additions. My point was, I won't be upset, if any of these guys end up being dealt or booted to make room for the rule 5 guys and better free agents.
  14. moonslav59
    We do need a nice infield utility guy that can hit better than Marwin, but I'm not sure about Shaw.
  15. moonslav59
    Your winning streak prevented Boone from getting axed. Now, it bites you in the ass.
  16. moonslav59
    We keep making hard last outs, but at least we score some beforehand.
  17. moonslav59
    I think that "rest" was all he needed!
  18. moonslav59
    It would only be worth it, if it was more than all the other teams combined, right?
  19. moonslav59
    Bogey magic!
  20. moonslav59
    If ERod has lasting effects from Covid, a $19M/1 deal might be better than $40M/3.
  21. moonslav59
    You got it.
  22. moonslav59
    MIN up quickly on TOR 2-0. CLE now 10-0 on NYY.
  23. moonslav59
    It's a close call. He's done very well his last 15 starts. The team wins when he starts and has since 2018. A QO is just a one year investment.
  24. moonslav59
    ERod missed the whole 2020 season with COVID, and it wasn't just a mild case. He had serious issues, including heart problems. I'm not sure "embarrassed" is a good word to us, and besides, he has a 3.93 ERA over his last 15 starts. (3.32 FIP)
  25. moonslav59
    ERA as Starter 2.40 Sale (6 GS) 3.52 Eovaldi (29) 4.02 Houck (12) 4.55 Pivetta (27) 4.77 Perez (22) 5.00 ERod (28) 5.22 Richards (22) OPS Against as Starter (PAs Against) .670 Houck (228) .686 Eovaldi (701) .730 Pivetta (601) .756 Sale (126) .777 ERod (609) .844 Perez (445) .868 Richards (504)
