    That we may do. I could see us trading someone like Chavis for a salary dump player. I doubt we trade someone younger or more promising. Bloom may have a few prospects he doesn't like that other GMs view in a better light. Maybe pitchers from before his time, like Groome, Ward or even Mata, but I doubt for a 2 month rental.

    The make-up game takes away a scheduled rest day. 5:10 start time, so don't miss it. We can't look ahead to Astro payback. We need to beat the Marlins and keep the pressure on the Rays and Yanks and all the other contenders. I'm gonna stick to my call for Arroyo to lead off, but it seems like he's getting big hits no matter where he is in the line-up or coming off the bench. Pivetta is reaching the time where his sample size is getting too large to think this has all been some kind of fluke. A wing here would help prove it's no fluke. Keep it rolling, guys!

    Somebody had to apply pressure to the bleeding.

    Richards pitched poorly enough to let up 5-7 runs. The Yanks scored 3 off him. We bumbled in the field, again. We were saved by the DP- three times. We were saved by a timely hit by Bogey. We were saved by a horrific strike call. We could have lost this game countless ways. We didn't. Is this magical or is it something special about this team? I do know one thing: this is fun!

    These are the kind of wins that have lasting affects. For both teams.
  6. moonslav59
    Are we really at a point where we want to trade some of our future for a win now addition?
  7. moonslav59
    I keep waiting for their rotation to stumble, but their peskiness is ceaseless.
  8. moonslav59
    So, give final judgment after 25% of his contract length within the context of the whole league hitting much lower than it has since 1968. Makes sense to me.
  9. moonslav59
    If anyone knew that's what he'll give us going forward, correct. There would be no justification, except maybe we have nobody better. Baseball does not work out so neatly.
  10. moonslav59
    Plenty. We just won't part with any worthy ones.

    It's been 2 months.

    Is Kike's ceiling his two best years? .836 in 2015 (218 PAs) .806 in 2018 (462 PAs) If you add them together, it would look something like this: 680 PAs 28 HRs .270 BA .340 OBP .475 SLG .815 OPS That would be a nice ceiling to reach. (If that's what we agree Kike's ceiling is.)
  13. moonslav59
    I don't disagree, but I might guess .240 to .245 but an OBP around .325 to .335 not .290ish.
  14. moonslav59
    You sure did your best to make DD look good without it being your "job." You clearly dislike Bloom and do all you can to focus on what he has done wrong. That's "your thing."
  15. moonslav59
    Because it would mean he was wrong about Bloom. He'd rather the Sox suck and gloat than have to admit he was wrong on Bloom.
  16. moonslav59
    It still remains to be seen, if he can hit .260 like the minors not .220 like the majors. He also walked a lot more in the minors (.360 OBP). There's a chance he can improve in these areas and be a much better player. The K rate will likely not change much.
  17. moonslav59
    Except, nobody was helping us pay CC's contract.
  18. moonslav59
    That's the hindsight aspect of your choice of comps. And, it's only idiotic if you're trying to make bloom look good- something you clearly will never do.
  19. moonslav59
    I think Downs is hard to project. All prospects are speculation to varying degrees, but for some reason I have no clue on Downs. I don't feel super high on him, but maybe it's because he hasn't started out too well. soxprospects have him ranked 2nd. That's higher than Duran and Jimenez. For what it's worth, BTV ranks our prospects as such: 24.7 Downs 24.2 Casas 19.5 Duran 13.8 R Hernandez 10.8 Jimenez
  20. moonslav59
    Before the year started, a better comp would be Renfroe or Marwin as the money was similar to what we saved on Beni. You chose someone getting paid twice what the Beni deal saved us, because Kike has under produced, and it makes Bloom look worse. Call it whatever you want, but if Kike was hitting well, you would have brought him up as a comp. Period.
  21. moonslav59
    We could have signed Cesar Hernandez at $5M/1 and gotten about the same production without the OF option.
  22. moonslav59
    Yes, I know what hindsight means, and I know you hated the Kike signing and Bloom hiring from day one. It's not hindsight in the general sense it is used, but you know damn well, you would not be mentioning the money saved by trading Beni to offset Kike and Kike vs Holt had Kike been hitting .850. Just because you knew he wouldn't hit .850 beforehand does not mean you didn't cherry pick the comp in hindsight. Plus, the money Kike cost does not match up with the money saved on the Beni deal, even if you subtract Holt's contract from his. A closer comp is Renfroe, since he has 2 years of control and cost about what the difference was on the Beni deal. Another similar money comp would be Sawamura, but the positions are way different. Perhaps using Marwin would make your case stronger. Beni for Marwin and the 5 players.

    Many 2020 marginal players bombed, but this year, one could argue these players were bad or not very good (so far and for some, really small sample sizes): Cordero Andriese Marwin Santana Brice (from last year) We haven't had to dip into our SP'er depth, like last year, so we have not had a chance to cringe at the Mazzas and God knows all the others. Certainly, this off season was better than the last one, but he hardly spent anything, last year and some of that money went to Peraza and a much less effective Martin Perez.
  24. moonslav59
    So, if Kike was batting .850, you'd have still used him as an example?
  25. moonslav59
    Rangers up 1-0 on the Rays in the 3rd. Toronto winning big.
