    Dalbec at DH, today.

    My guess is Correa goes to the Yanks, and for those who believe clutch is a skill, he's the man you'd want. As for available SSs, this winter, has there ever been such a flood of top players at one key position like SS all reaching free agency at the same time? Here's a look at the top FA (or trade available?) SSs by defense: UZR/150 2018-2021 (DRS): 13.2 Simmons (+34) Getting old 5.4 Semien (+13) 5.2 KFarmer (+6) 4.0 TStory (+39) 3.8 Iglesias (-21) Getting old 3.5 J Baez (+46) 1.1 Bogey (-27) 1.0 EAndrus (-17) 0.8 Gregorius (-16) 0.2 Swanson (+12) -0.1 BCrawford (-11) -0.7 Correa (+41) -0.8 Segura (-6) -1.1 TTurner (+8) -1.3 WAdames (+3) -4.0 Anderson (+11) -7.0 Seager (-3) Better at 3B UZR/150 2020-2021 5.2 Farmer (+6) 4.7 Semien (-5) 4.6 Story (+11) 2.1 Correa (+21) 1.3 Swanson (+5) 1.0 Bogey (-10) 0.6 Adames (+3) 0.4 Simmons (+9 Not what he used to be) 0.2 BCrawford (+3) 0.2 J Baez (+11) -1.9 Anderson (+5) -7.4 Iggy (-26 Not what he used to be) -14.7 Seager (-1)

    The Jays were lucky to win game 1, and the Yanks won on an error by Baez. We had some luck, too, so there's that. Big game, tomorrow.
  6. moonslav59
    Well, the A's lost, and we won but lost a half to the Jays. The Jays are tied with the Yanks for the second slot. 89-53 TBR 82-59 HOU 81-61 CWS 81-63 BOS WC1 +1 79-63 NYY WC2 tied 79-63 TOR WC2 tied 77-65 OAK -2 WC2 77-65 SEA -2 WC2
  7. moonslav59
    It is nice to see Bobby Dee's D getting better. Taylor with the big save. Kike da man! Shaw keeps surprising. Don't get me started on left side IF D.
  8. moonslav59
    wow!
  9. moonslav59
    It's final" TOR 11 BAL 10 TOR scored 4 in the top of the 7th- 1st game of double header.
  10. moonslav59
    Springer with a 2 out 2 run dinger to give the Jays the lead. O's get one more shot.
  11. moonslav59
    The Astros have a great offense, too. TOR 1.011 Vlad (42 HR/64 XBH) .910 Springer (16/31 in half a season) .892 Semien (38/72) .850 T Hern (25/49) .844 Kirk (155 PAs) .798 Bichette (22/47 and 22 SB) .770 Gurriel (16/43) .717 Grichuk (22/45) HOU looks deeper .891 Tucker (24/58) .872 Alvarez (28/57) .861 Correa (22/54) .849 Gurriel (14/42) .835 Altuve (27/54) .831 Bregman (half season) .816 Meyers (101 PAs) .762 A Dia (half season) .759 McCormick (half season) Sox .956 Schwarber (.922 with 29 HR & 44 XBH overall) .886 Devers (33/78) .871 Bogey (20/53) .866 JD M (25/65) .833 Renfroe (27/56) .793 Dalbec (21/44) .792 Verdugo (12/43) .792 Kike (17/50) .777 Arroyo (175 PAs) Notice how Dalbec has passed Kike and Verdugo in OPS and may close in on Renfroe.
  12. moonslav59
    Yes, a massive split. His past years saw ... vs R/v L 2020 .876 (139 PAs)/.791 (82) 2019 .807 (268)/.843 (109) 2018 .748 (67)/ .556 (19) 2017-2020: .810 v RHPs (494 PAs) .788 v LHPs (215) The OF guy I expected to have big splits was Renfroe. 2017-2020: .704 v R (485) .733 Career .907 v L (1068) .913 Career 2021: .789 v R .912 v L He's done fine v Righties.
  13. moonslav59
    Iggy is not the ole Iggy, and the old Iggy was known to boot some easy plays, too and make many more spectacular one. I'm not sure he makes many dazzling plays, anymore.
  14. moonslav59
    The O's are hitting like no other team, now. There are like 7 HRs (both teams) in 4 innings.
  15. moonslav59
    20th year remembrance. Somber day. We go at it, again. We get a look at Connor Seabold and RHP Dylan Cease (11-7 3.87). Game time 7:10. 1. Kike 2B 2. Schwarber LF 3. Bogey SS 4. Devers 3B 5. JD DH 6. Verdugo CF 7. Renfroe RF 8. Dalbec 1B 9. Vaz C Go SOX!
  16. moonslav59
    Yes, 10-9 with 2 one-run losses.
  17. moonslav59
    Some of the money we are thinking may go towards pitching or a big bat may instead go to locking up Devers long term, renegotiating Bogey's deal or extending guys like Renfroe, Kike, Verdugo, Houck and others while their value may be a bit unknown.
  18. moonslav59
    I'm not saying it can't happen, but with Bogey's opt out, he might be more likely to go than many think.
  19. moonslav59
    Pitching is not the problem, although injuries to many of them is one big problem. The Yanks staff places... 3rd K-BB% 17.6% 4th in fWAR 5th ERA- 10th xFIP at 4.05 13th in HR/9 at 1.20
  20. moonslav59
    Signing Schwarber and trading JD lets all the pieces fall into place. On trading JD (assuming no opt out), he might have a negative trade value, but with just one year left, I think a few teams would take him. We'd have to throw in some cash or take back a salary or two to make the money fit for another team. BTV has him at +2.9, so maybe I'm wrong. While this offense looks superb: 3B: Devers (Dalbec) SS: Bogey 1B: Dalbec (Schwarber/Casas) I think we need to improve the defense at SS or 3B+1B combined. I also want to keep Kike in CF. We should be able to make this work, somehow. I threw one idea out there, but there are several options, especially if the wallet is opened wide.
  21. moonslav59
    My brain hurts to even think about the concept of beginning to consider trading Devers.
  22. moonslav59
    He started every day from Sept 3-7th, and the7th was TUESDAY. I think he started every Sox game from August 13th to Sept 7th, then finished the next two. We may be reading too much into this.
  23. moonslav59
    Richards does not have a choice. It's a team option for 2022, and I think he likes being in the pen. Verdugo is a better defender in LF than Renroe is in RF, but Renfroe's cannon has saved the day enough to make him okay in Fenway's large RF. I'm not sure what kind of pitcher someone gives us for Verdugo + Dalbec, Signing Schwarber and trading Verdugo could work out.
  24. moonslav59
    When we signed Richards we knew it was a big gamble. He made $10M because he used to be a great pitcher. It was ONLY $10M, because nobody knew if he'd pitch 5 innings, 50 or 150. I think he's proven he's healthy. The tough part about placing value is the position change from starter to RP'er and possible closer. Unlike Perez, he has a hefty buyout clause of $1.5M. Basically, we pay him $10M for 2022 or $1.5M to say bye-bye. It's effectively an $8.5M choice, which seems fair to the team. I think we take his option, say no to Perez ($500K buyout or $6M). I also think we say yes to the Vaz option of $7M vs $250K buyout.
  25. moonslav59
    It's a dream to think it's even close to average. Our left side D and 1B, combines are horrible. Devers is the only one approaching average. Force Kike to 2B, and no slight on Cora, who loves his 2B D, our If sucks- BIGTIME on D! Maybe Devers finds consistency. He has shown he can be plus. Maybe Dalbec improves, but as of right now, our D sucks.
