    You can't give a straight answer. If they are "predictable" then give us your prediction.

    I haven't been to Fenway for many years, but I do see the Sox play here in HOU and try to see them in other away games, when I can. I want to see them play at PITT, but I'm not sure I can be there, this AUG.

    I thought I read Duran and Crawford, but AZ wanted Tolle or Early and not Kutter, but I cant find anything, now.
  4. moonslav59
    Why is he not with WOO?
  5. moonslav59
    That throw was like the one Manny cut off from Damon.
  6. moonslav59
    I heard it was Duran and Tolle or Early for KMarte. To keep our better offensive players, I wonder who might be needed, if we subbed out Rafaela? Maybe more, maybe less or maybe about the same. I think I'd give Rafaela, Tolle and Phiilips for KMarte or Neto. I'd probably give Rafaela, Phillips & Eyanson for an extended Hoerner.

    We may never know what it might have taken to get Neto or KMarte or even Paredes or Hoerner, and if we insisted on Rafaela over Duran or Abreu, maybe the second and third pieces would have been too good to part with. I'm not saying it would have been easy. Rafaela plus Tolle and another decent prospect might have been too high a return. I still probably would have done it.

    Mullins has stuck around 22-23, but when you factor in that the rankings lost 7 players to trades above him (4 Perales, 6 Garcia, 8 Clarke, 10 Fajardo, 12 Sandlin, 18 Drohan and 20 Travieso) and saw bigger drops by Bleis and Cespedes, who were above Mullins for most of 2025, his drop from 22 to 24 is pretty significant. The guy is 26 and still in AA, so I guess it shouldn't be surprising, but he keeps putting up very nice numbers.

    We can fix the defense part easily.
  10. moonslav59
    Overall, I felt the improvement of the rotation would outweigh the lack of a big boost on offense, but I really felt like we had enough money and trade resources to do both. I actually liked the Durbin trade, but would have been happier had we traded an OF'er and gotten KMarte, Neto or Hoerner (with or without Durbin or IKF.) If this meant no Gray or Oviedo or Durbin, fine. If it meant trading my favorite player, Ceddanne, in order to not hurt the offense, fine. I think we left a hole in the line-up. It didn't have to be Alonso. I'm fine with Contreras, instead. He's much cheaper, better on defense, and may hit as well as Alonso, anyway- or close enough. Schwarber would have meant dumping Masa, and in a sense, we'd be paying Schwarber plus most of Masa for a DH upgrade. I liked adding KMarte or Neto much more. Paredes would have been okay, too.
  11. moonslav59
    Yes, and this is why we may be able to sneak in to the playoffs, without looking great.
  12. moonslav59
    The context of "okay" was that we'd be in the playoff hunt, but not a cinch.
  13. moonslav59
    I don't disagree, and I'm as frustrated, pissed and perplexed as everyone else. Maybe some sort of shock to the system is needed. It is well documented how nearly all of us wished we had done more over the winter. Most of us spoke to the lack of offense added. That being said, I thought we got slightly better on paper, but that has not shown itself to be true, so far. My hopes are not as high as they were before game 1 (or 2,) but I am not ready to call this team out of it or hopeless.
  14. moonslav59
    Name one time in human history, any 2-8 team looked like they had "life" in them. Of course they look terrible, lifeless and worse. They are 2 and 8. I'm not trying to predict some great surge, but the fact is we are 3.5 games behind looking okay. Cue: "But if we keep playing like this, we have no hope." Well, duh.
  15. moonslav59
    So, does this mean you have thrown in the towel? Cause it ain't over till you say it is.
  16. moonslav59
    Not writing them off, not the Sox. Thanks for letting me know they are not Sox players.
  17. moonslav59
    10 games into the season and 3 games behind the last playoff slot. 152 to go!
  18. moonslav59
    It ain't over till Ole Red sings it.
  19. moonslav59
    What a horrible display of I don't even know what to call it.
  20. moonslav59
    Tell me which ones are wrong...
  21. moonslav59
    How long does Story stay 5th? Then again, who deserves to move up? (Maybe Mayer, but Abreu is a LHB.)
  22. moonslav59
    I disagree. I see half or more trades as plus, many as "meh" and a quite a few bad ones, too... some more in hindsight.
  23. moonslav59
    Story batting 5th, tonight. (Masa 2nd, Willson 3rd & Abreu 4th)
  24. moonslav59
    1. Anthony LF 2. Yoshida DH (NO STORY #2!!!!) 3. Contreras 1B (Moved from 4 to 3) 4. Abreu RF (Moved up to 4th) 5. Story SS 6. Mayer 2B 7. Durbin 3B 8. Narvaez C 9. Rafaela CF
  25. moonslav59
    Devers was a salary/malcontent dump. The return was similar to the Carl Crawford dump. Tibbs was not the "prize," IMO. It was Harrison, who was flipped for Durbin. (Not that that is anything wonderful.)
