    I'm saying we won't trade JD. I'm saying the only way I want Schwarber is if JD is not here. Why is that a problem saying that? It's pretty much saying we don't need 2 DHs. Sorry you have so many issues with my wording and use of superlatives.

    No. You missed a major part of my position. LF is way less important than RF, especially in the 81 games at Fenway. Poor fielding is much more easily hidden in Fenway's LF than RF. I think these two OFs are similar in defense: LF Scwarber/Duran CF Kike RF Verdugo LF Verdugo/Duran CF Kike RF Renfroe/Verdugo This is not the same as saying Schwarber is equal to Renfroe on defense. Verdugo> Renfroe in RF (the important corer position) balances or almost balances the equation. BTW, saying Kike was the best CF'er I've seen on the Sox was not meant to slight Lynn and others. He has a great defensive year, and so did other Sox CF'ers from the past. It is not a no brainer position I hold. It was a close call, but it's my opinion.

    Ok. I believe you, but I just don't remember the words "lifetime." BTW, I'm not for signing Schwarber, either, unless we trade JD- so, no chance. We need to spend nearly every penny and trade resources we are willing to part with on pitching. (I like Schwarber, though.)

    QO Players have until Nov 17 to accept of decline the $18.4M QO. Correa Story Semien Seager ERod R Ray Verlander Syndergaard Iglesias Castellanos Conforto Freeman B Belt C Taylor I kinda liked the idea of maybe signing Verlander, but not if we lose a draft pick. I doubt the Sox sign any of these guys, except maybe ERod.

    Red Sox Exercise $7M Option on Vazquez. There was a $250K buyout.
  7. moonslav59
    Even if Whitlock becomes a starter, we still need ERod or someone better. Not wanting ERod at $18.4M is not a crazy position, and you are not alone. I think those of us who want him to take the QO see the enormous advantage of a less risky 1 year deal for a quality pitcher over what it will take to get someone similar in trade or signing someone like ERod to 4-5+ years.
  8. moonslav59
    Iglesias had a real good year, and there is a shortage of top closers on the market. He may test the waters.
  9. moonslav59
    I'm glad Taylor is off the boards. I really do not want to hear "sign Chris" all winter long.
  10. moonslav59
    Bring back ERod, trade for Montas and sign a decent RP'er. Keep Houck and Whitlock in the pen. Hope Seabold and some others can offer depth. That might be all we get. I hope it's better than that, but I'm thinking this might be the best we can expect.
  11. moonslav59
    Nobody said sign him to a lifetime contract. You called or implied suggesting $14-15M x 4 or 5 years "lifetime- not anyone else."
  12. moonslav59
    Imerely suggested it as an alternative. BTW, Renfroe is no plus in the more important corner OF position, so I'd say these two defensive OF's are pretty close to even: LF Schwarber/Duran CF Kike RF Verdugo LF Verdugo/Duran CF Kike RF Renfroe/Verdugo
  13. moonslav59
    I trust Bloom, too, and I have said I doubt he's even considering a JD trade.
  14. moonslav59
    He did not sign Schwarber. He traded for him. We could also think of trading Renfroe or non-tendering him and move Verdugo to RF and have Schwarber in LF. If Shwarber costs $15M and Renfroe $7M, we'd be adding $8M for the swap out.
  15. moonslav59
    Schwarber has decent career numbers with RISP and men of base. That's not really why he has low rbi totals.
  16. moonslav59
    It's about next year and beyond, at this point.
  17. moonslav59
    The Perez signing looked like a great move after his first 11-13 starts. At that point, he had the best stats of the rotation, but then the wheels and frame cam off and fell apart.
  18. moonslav59
    I've waffled on the idea of trading JD. The only reason I prefer Schwarber to JD is the age and less AAV. I'm all for spending on pitching and only pitching.
  19. moonslav59
    Not sure if we can trade JD with cash and then sign Schwarber, and if this is even worth considering.
  20. moonslav59
    As expected. Good choice.
  21. moonslav59
    I had Davis highlighted in red, along with Rosario, Arauz, Locastro & Plawecki.
  22. moonslav59
    There are no "do-overs" in QOs or life!
  23. moonslav59
    The $32M/year sounds about right. He'll get more than 5, but I do NOT think this is the slap in the face the Lester deal was. Also, will they counter with another offer, if Correa's agent comes back with $240/7? Lester's agent never responded.
  24. moonslav59
    If they'd stop doing instant replay, I'd start watching the NFL, again.
  25. moonslav59
    Both dates are today?
