    Brad Hand to Nats for $10.5M/1.

    Only pitchers on the Sox & Yanks for 2021: 7.6 Sale 2017 7.3 Cole 2019 7.2 Kluber 2017 7.2 Kluber 2014 6.2 Sale 2018 5.8 Cole 2018 5.6 Sale 2015 5.6 Kluber 2015 5.5 Kluber 2018 5.4 Severino 2018 5.3 Sale 2016 5.1 Cole 2015 5.0 Sale 2014 4.9 Kluber 2016 4.8 Sale 2013 4.7 Sale 2012 4.3 Richards 2014 3.9 Taillon 2018 3.7 ERod 2019 3.6 Sale 2019 3.3 Eovaldi 2014 3.2 Eovaldi 2015 3.2 Taillon 2017

    Here is an interesting data bunch: Best Back-to-back seasons since 2014: W-L ERA/WHIP (ERA+) 29-12 2.56/0.924 (175) C Sale (12.9 bWAR) 32-11 3.81/1.303 (122) E Rod (8.8 bWAR) 28-16 3.18/1.149 (116) Richards (6.4 bWAR) 23-11 4.45/1.387 (94) Eovaldi (3.6 bWAR) 36-13 2.71/0.965 (167) C Kluber (9.8 bWAR) 35-10 2.68/0.962 (164) G Cole (8.5 bWAR) 22-17 3.71/1.303 (109) Taillon (6.1 bWAR) 11-7 3.84/1.248 (116) Montgomery (3.4 bWAR)

    Because I traded Beni for a RP'er, and we'd need OF depth. (Maybe Miller would be better.)
  5. moonslav59
    Cole may be "far and away" the most durable on either staff, but when Sale is at his best, he's better than Cole. (One could argue Kluber is, too.) I know you have no respect for Sale and other Sox pitchers with health issues, and you may end up being proven right, but we'll see.
  6. moonslav59
    Finish the winter with... Trade Beni to SF for Ryes Moronta (RP with 4 years of team control). Sign Colome. Sign Pillar. Sign Marisnick. The healthy 26: Sale, Eovaldi, ERod, Richards, Perez, Pivetta (IL Sale>Brice/ IL ERod>Houck/Andriese) Colome, Moronta, Barnes, Brasier, D Hern, Taylor, Whitlock Vaz, Plawecki Dalbec Hernandez, Arroyo Devers Bogaerts Renfroe, Martinez (DH) Pillar, Marisnick Verdugo Meaningful farmhands: Houck, Mata, Seabold, Mazza Andriese, Valdez, Brewer, Bazardo Pereda Ockimey Downs Arauz Munoz Puello Duran Gettys

    I don't see anything being called a risk, unless there is something to lose. Worst case- they break even. I suppose one of the long shot prospects might amount to a role player.
  8. moonslav59
    You forgot Means, and with him, YES! Cobb is done after one year. (Getting Santander allows us to trade Beni for a no cost player or prospect and be fine on the lux tax.)
  9. moonslav59
    I get that, but if he sucks, they've lost 4 guys worse than Chavis. What did they lose?
  10. moonslav59
    What was the risk? The guys they gave up are all worse than Chavis.
  11. moonslav59
    I'd rather have an extra RP'er of Marisnick.
  12. moonslav59
    Colome & Pillar
  13. moonslav59
    Santander, too. Maybe if we took Cobb off their hands, they'd not want too much back. Downs, Ward, Chavis & Pivetta for Means, Santander & Cobb was accepted by BTV.
  14. moonslav59
    To bad the O's have so few good players to "raid."
  15. moonslav59
    It was nothing short of a big steal. It makes me wonder about the doubts every other GM must have on Taillon. He's not just a one year pitcher. He's not expensive.
  16. moonslav59
    Pitt should just fold, despite the nice stadium. They will never win it all or come close, again.
  17. moonslav59
    Thanks for the specifics. Since we probably want to keep him under 120-140 IP, too, it makes sense to keep him at AAA for a couple months. It may not be April and May, as Sale & ERod will likely start the season on the IL, and Eovaldi is always a coin toss. We may end up sending him down, once a starter comes off the IL.
  18. moonslav59
    Yankess get Taillon for 4 prospects- none of which are all that great, according to reports. I wish we had gotten him, despite my wish to keep the farm strong.
  19. moonslav59
    I'd be surprised if 3 of these 5 are FT players for the Sox in 2023: Wong Duran Rosario Casas Downs (Least likely on top)
  20. moonslav59
    You win! mlbtr reports: The Pirates will receive four prospects in return. ESPN.com’s Jeff Passan (Twitter link) reports that the minor leaguers in question are right-handers Miguel Yajure, Roansy Contreras, infielder Maikol Escotto and outfielder Canaan Smith.
  21. moonslav59
    All the more reason to think about going way over the lux tax line next winter.
  22. moonslav59
    soxprospects.com has Brice as being out of options. I'm not sure what Bloom sees in him, and I doubt they DFA him, but I agree with your idea. I'd start Houck and Valdez in AAA. Let's get an extra year of team control on Houck and limit his IP at the same time.
  23. moonslav59
    Can Almora field well?
  24. moonslav59
    Agreed. Too many BBs. His K/9 is near record breaking, and his H/9 is pretty good, too. Career (only 39 IP) 16.3 K/9 7.4 H/9 7.9 BB/9
  25. moonslav59
    I'm super high on Taillon, probably way too high, but I just suggested this trade on BTV, and it was accepted: To BOS: Taillon, Stallings, Frazier & Hasely To PHI: Vaz, Beni & Pivetta To PIT: Abel, Jimenez & Marchan And, this one with STL: BOS: Taillon, Bader, Stallings, Frazier STL: Vaz & Beni PIT: Downs, Knisner, Ward & Hurst (I'd sub Casas & Groome for Downs & Ward, if they preferred.) I might even give Casas & Downs along with Vaz & Beni to a 3rd team to get Taillon, Stallings, Frazier and a decent CF'er.
