  1. Maybe we could trade him straight up for that guy named Beni, who plays for the Royals.
  2. I live in Sugar Land, which is just SW of Houston. Very safe, clean and diverse. There are very bad parts of town, but I avoid those areas.
  3. Boone is a genius. Extend him, now!
  4. It's a very diverse city, and there are a lot of things to do. Great restaurant choices. Museums and parks. Beaches nearby. Not as red neck as it used to be.
  5. I stopped the bleeding. Now, I pass the torch. I'm still disappointed that after winning 5, one loss brings out so much negativity, but I guess that's something that will never change.
  6. If someone asked me what would be the last state I'd choose to live, Texas would be near the top of the list. If someone asked me what would be the last city I'd choose to live in Texas, Houston would have been on the top of that list. I've lived here for 14 years. It's not as bad as I expected.
  7. Hey! Bobby Dee did NOT strike out! Call Mom!
  8. Worcester won 11-4 Cordero & Munoz had 3 hits Arauz had 2 w a HR. Same with Wilson. Wong hit a granny Weber went 7 allowing 2 runs. Portland won 9-8. Meneses with 2 hits, HR, 4 rbi Politi got shelled.
  9. I've been his biggest supporter, and I think he needs to be sent to AAA to try and work out some issues. Bring up Chavis. Santana is the next on the hot seat.
  10. I've liked Arroyo, too, and I'm not so sure it is warranted.
  11. Many are better, defensively than Bogey, so why convert them?
  12. Some pen arms have done really well, lately. OPS against Last 7 days .488 Sawamura .489 DHern .550 Barnes .624 Ottavino .661 Taylor .682 Whitlock Starters: .491 Perez .701 ERod .740 Pivetta .760 Eovaldi .833 Richards Last 14 days .457 DHern .503 Ottavino .582 Sawamura .504 Whitlock .641 Barnes Last 28 days .472 Ottavino .507 DHern .546 Taylor .626 Sawamura .648 Barnes .758 Whitlock
  13. I was for Marisnick from day one, but not because I thought he was the best choice or that he'd have a good year. I wanted him for his low contract, good D, and hoping we could use the money saved on someone like Odorizzi or a closer. I thought Semien was too expensive for this year's situation.
  14. Does it go back to the time KC won without any real SP'ing? People thought, hmm... maybe we can win with just defense, speed and a pen.
  15. I said Chavis for Dalbec. My next point was about who for Santana.
  16. Yes, 2 years with the 3rd year option. The only player, other than Kike, signed for 2 years guaranteed. He started out looking good, then bad, and now kinda good again. Maybe he just needed to settle in.
  17. If disagreeing is not boring, then the whole 700-moonslav dynamic is askew, since 700 called moonslav "boring."
  18. 1. Arroyo 2B YESSSsssssss! 2. Devers 3B (Verdugo sits) 3. Bogey SS 4. JD DH (Wrist okay?) 5, Renfroe RF 6. Marwin LF (Wow! He's up to.604!) 7.Plawecki C (2 straight starts) 8. Kike CF (falling to.658) 9. Dalbec 1B (last chance?)
  19. Exactly, although some viewed Kike as a utility player and not a FT 2Bman, but his recent numbers were better than several 2Bmen on the market. Other serious options included: 15 x 6 LeMahieu (.656 in 251 PAs) 7 x 4 H-S Kim (.585 in 156) 7 x 3 Profar (.614 in 211) 9 x 2 K Wong (.784 in 178) 6.3 x 3 La Stella (.650 in 75) 7 x 2 Kike (.654 in 184) 5 x 1 Cesar Hernandez (.684 in 245) Only Kolten Wong is doing much better, and it's doubtful he'd have made a big difference. Plus, the $2M more might have kept us from signing Sawamura. And, Wong does not play OF.
  20. Two lefties on the mound, tonight. To me, this might be Dalbec's last chance to stay on the big club. I'm not one to believe any one game makes or breaks a player, but it seems like Dalbec has already gone beyond the breaking point. His biggest asset is batting vs lefties, so this could be it. Maybe Chavis gets the call, but we could hand 1B to Santana and Marwin and give Santana a few more chance to prove he belongs. I'm sure many here already feel he's beyond the breaking point, too. Santana might be winding down on his time with the Sox organization. With Duran not available for call-up, the choice to replace Santana would be interesting- assuming Chavis replaces Dalbec. We could call up Marcus Wilson, who is already on the 40 man and is batting .946 in AAA. The only other 40 man guys are Arauz, Cordero and Brennan (P). I'm not sure when Bazardo & Houck get off the IL, but they will need a few games under their belt before consideration. Non 40 man additions could come from: Munoz Mieses Lopez Ort
  21. Well said, and the Sox are 6th in SP'er IP, this year- just 2 IP from 5th (HOU) and 6 IP from 3rd (SFG). Only LAD & OAK are significantly ahead of us. We carried a 9 man pen for most of the season, so our pen should be as rested as any in MLB, given those facts. We do have a "lock down" closer, and it seems like Ottavino is improving slowly as our top set-up man. Whitlock, Valdez and Sawamura seem to be stepping into higher leverage situations with greater success, recently, and Taylor has done a 180. Fingers crossed, here.
