    I'm thinking Rosario will be DFA'd for the rule 5 additions or once we start signing free agents.

    His biggest issue has been following up on these mini hot streaks with some very bad slumps, but it's not hard to imagine him jumping 29 points. He jumped 29 points (.767 to .703) in one day (8/11), then 21 the next game (8/13). Just a few days ago, he jumped 28 points in one day (8/25) from .712 to .740 and then rose 17 more points over his last 3 games. If this kid can do anything, he can make massive gains in short times (big games). For those who believe in clutch hitting and timely hitting as skills, you should love Dalbec. He's been hitting when the team needs it most: 1.209 since the trade deadline. 1.012 High Leverage, all year. Batting 9th for much of the season- behind guys like Cordero, Marwin, Santana and Vaz, he has 61 RBIs in 368 PAs. RBI/PA .177 Devers .168 Renfroe .167 Dalbec .157 JD .143 Arroyo .135 Bogey (What's up, here?) .115 Verdugo .115 Santana .106 Kike (leading off behind many low OBP players) .096 Vaz .089 Duran .074 Marwin .066 Cordero .065 Plawecki

    We do need some min wage guys on he team, and I still like Duran's upside, despite his age. He's pretty new at the OF, so cut him some slack on defense. His sample size on offense is miniscule. Since all of our starting OF'ers can play CF, having Duran as the 4th OF'er to play LF is not bad. Now, sure, if some team sees him as a starter and offers us something as good or better at a starting position, I'm all ears. Do you trade Duran for a decent RP'er with 3 years of team control?

    That was exaggeration. Guilty as charged.

    I'm not sure I believe all these leaks. The one thing that puzzles me about this is if they really had serious interest in Scherzer, what was their off going to be? If the interest was serious, maybe they demanded an extension and were quickly turned away. Maybe they offered Casas, Duran and Downs and were laughed at. We very rarely here specifics, so I tend to avoid this sort of speculation.

    But, all Bloom is being judged on his how he swung and missed or failed to swing hard enough on acquiring hit-or-miss RP'ers at the deadine.
  7. moonslav59
    Maybe he was trying conserve pitches, so he could go deeper in the game.
  8. moonslav59
    Thanks. I trust your judgment on prospects. I guess I am hoping we found a wunderkind.
  9. moonslav59
    Even after the big night at the plate for Vaz! If Bobby Dee ends up over .780 or .790, even his biggest bashers will have to think twice.
  10. moonslav59
    I don't want to make any assumptions, but we both seem to suffer from lastwordism.
  11. moonslav59
    Happy for us, but not happy yourself?
  12. moonslav59
    Damn straight!

    Sox OPS .936 Schwarber (2 teams) .896 Devers .867 Bogey .863 JD .814 Renfroe .811 Kike .784 Verdugo .761 Dalbec .729 Plawecki .663 Vaz .578 Duran .533 Arauz We've never seen the top 9 or 10 in the same line-up.
  14. moonslav59
    You think he could start 2022 in AA?
  15. moonslav59
    So, I was right? I did read your mind?
  16. moonslav59
    You're a team player.
  17. moonslav59
    Well, Sale finally faced a good team, so that is off his back. It's a short sample size, but he's averaging 5 and a third with an ERA of 2.53. Tonight showed Sale's grit. He was not at his best, and he was facing the best run-scoring team in MLB. Thank God the Red Sox have... Chris Freakin' Sale!
  18. moonslav59
    Tomorrow is ERod's biggest game of the year. He needs to show up.
  19. moonslav59
    I know. You just love hearing yourself talk. (ooops, I made an assumption, there.)
  20. moonslav59
    Well said, and I like how you really stuck it that Max guy! All aboard!
  21. moonslav59
    They say OPS is one of the best indicators of runs scored. TBR are tied for 10th. .778 HOU .776 TOR .770 BOS .758 CIN .756 SFG .755 CWS .752 ATL .748 WSH .741 TBR & MIN The rest are below .729. Let's see just how unsustainable timely hitting can be, even against weak pens.
  22. moonslav59
    You guts have hung tough. Your division is strong and you played the NL West. I still think we are better, but it will be hard for us to take 2 of 3 in your home park.
  23. moonslav59
    It's just a shame the team suffered because of a few. I'd say more, but I don't want to get political.
  24. moonslav59
    Sorry for taking your words at face value. I'll try not to do that again.

    OAK lost to DET. We are not the only WC contender struggling. (Yanks won.) We are 2 behind the Yanks and 2 ahead of the A's.
