    How about Espinal to Boston, you know the pitcher of the month in AAA? Oh, yes, we tried that.
  2. moonslav59
    His defense was why I was very high on him, when we traded for him. I guess his lack of offense, this year, should not have surprised me. Maybe he just needs to be a .720-.750 OF'er to stick around.
  3. moonslav59
    Agreed, and since he'd play half is games in Fenway's LF and 9 or so in RF at NYY, maybe the defense can be hidden a bit. 1B is highly questionable, but if Dalbec's defense does not improve at 1B, how much of a drop off can he be there? With JD likely gone after 1 year, assuming no opt out, we'd have to live with poorer D for a year, then he DH's, but again, how much should we pay a DH-only guy? Is Schwarber any better than JD on defense? He may also be an injury risk the more he plays D- just like JD.

    Ellsbury DRS First 4 years in BOS -1 3 -15 1 Last 3 years in BOS 9 2 13

    Is Schwarber a DH only guy, or is he good enough in LF to keep around.
  6. moonslav59
    I'm not sure, either. I just used Ellsbury as an example of someone who started out shaky on breaks and routes, and ended up being a plus, maybe thanks to his speed, but Duran has that, too. So far, I agree, Duran has not looked good on D, but he barely has over 200 innings out there. I'm willing to cut him some slack. He should only play LF until he shows he can do more.
  7. moonslav59
    LOL. Is it expected he never have a stretch of .769 hitting? He may still end up near .900, or better yet, hit 1.200 in the playoffs.

    This team has grit. Sure, they looked like they lost focus and energy for a bit, but the grit is still there.
  9. moonslav59
    Rosario's big plus was defense, right?
  10. moonslav59
    I loved Coco- especially his defense over the early version of Ellsbury. I expected more after his best 2 seasons before the trade and the fact that we got him pre-prime. We should remember, Ellsbury greatly improved on his initial breaks on fly balls and the routes he took to get to them. He was a plus defender before he left Boston. He was iffy out of the gate.
  11. moonslav59
    JBJ was the master of quick breaks and precise routes to where the ball would end up. He wasn't fast, but he glided so smoothly, he made it look easy, when it was not.
  12. moonslav59
    I get that, and I think I was just hoping more from these guys we got via trades, since that is what Bloom is famous for doing.
  13. moonslav59
    It's hard to see a slow initial break on a fly ball watching it on TV, so how do we know, if he could have gotten to some fly balls that fell 1-20 feet away from him?
  14. moonslav59
    He also loved Coco Crisp and never forgave Theo for trading him not Jake.
  15. moonslav59
    I guess "cold" depends on the cherry-picked sample size. I can find... .955 in his last 5 games (22 PAs). I guess, for JD, .769 since July 8th (182 PAs) is "cold," but we are cheering Dalbec for approaching that number for the season. .821 in his last 53 games (227 PAs)
  16. moonslav59
    "Punch and Judy-hitter Jake.
  17. moonslav59
    Dalbec climbed to .764 without even hitting a dinger. Bobby Dee making a statement!
  18. moonslav59
    Who saw this coming?
  19. moonslav59
    Who is "they?" Not the DRS people.
  20. moonslav59
    It's ... Bobby Freakin' Dee!
  21. moonslav59
    Just when you count these guys out they show the grit that won them so many games earlier in the year. I know there might not be much logic to this thinking, but I feel like the season is mirroring how the games have often gone for us: coming from behind. The comeback kids! Dalbec, Renfroe, Schwarber and JD all with 2 hits. Santana and Arauz with 2 BBs and a run scored by each. The story was the pitching. Just what we needed.
  22. moonslav59
    100%
  23. moonslav59
    He’s been equally bad for both teams but this is crunch time
  24. moonslav59
    His option is $10M with a $1.5M buyout
  25. moonslav59
    What a pitch!
