    I had Chatham high on my "next to be DFA'd" list, so maybe we get something good from Philly later on.

    Sale put up some of his best numbers after returning from an injury and had diminished velocity. I'm not saying he is a lock to have a 7 WAR again, but he can get above 4 or 5. I guess this must also mean Severino is toast, too, right? Let's hear your projections for ... Montgomery German Garcia Severino King Be just as critical. Try it.
  3. moonslav59
    Agreed. If we sign Odorizzi to 3 years, it would be a better signing than Kluber. I'm also glad we did not outbid the Yanks for DJ.

    I'm not arguing against this. The talk was about the rotation. I didn't change the subject: you did. (It's okay to change the subject, but it doesn't change the truth about our questionable rotations.)
  5. moonslav59
    Yes, you said "team" in response to his point about just the rotation.
  6. moonslav59
    I'm not sure who it will be, but we are going over the tax line, next year. Also, losing Pedey's contract and being 1 year away from losing Eovaldi's & JD should make spending large more manageable.

    I do remember many posters going nutty about us not doing much that winter, too. Now, if winter comes and goes and all we have to show for it is Perez, Renfroe, Andriese and some other 5th starter type, then I'll be joining the choir front & center.

    Looks like Lester to the Nats.

    I think we paid just $21K in 1999. That does not mean we thought we stayed under, but we did cut it pretty close. Had we dumped some of our plaayers a few weeks early, we'd have reset in 1999- not that it would have made a world of difference.

    Are all the valuable FAs and trade bait players taken, already? Can we at least wait until we see what our 2021 team will actually be before ripping Bloom a new one?
  11. moonslav59
    Well said.
  12. moonslav59
    We are gong to spend big, next winter. Book it. If the spending brings us guys like HRam & Pablo,maybe we won't compete in 2022, but it won't be because our rebuild plan is 4-5 years long.
  13. moonslav59
    I remember one year, I think the Sox felt like they got under the limit, but ended up over by a very small amount.
  14. moonslav59
    The rotation? About the same, in terms of question marks and what ifs.
  15. moonslav59
    I think it is including all salaries for the whole year.
  16. moonslav59
    Sad ending to a great career.

    In theory, we could sing Tanaka to $15M/1 and Odorizzi to $13M x 3 and still be just barely under the tax line. More likely, we might sign just one and use some budget space on a RP'er, CF'er and 2Bman- saving some for the dealine.
  20. moonslav59
    He is much more likely to pitch 200 good innings than Kluber, and for just $4M more, it seems like a good risk for a 1 year deal.
  21. moonslav59
    Tanaka is apparently looking for $15+M/1.
  22. moonslav59
    Yes. I amended my post.

    Chatham traded to Phillies for P.T.B.N.L... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/01/red-sox-trade-c-j-chatham-prospect-phillies.html Makes room for Perez.
  24. moonslav59
    I'm think the plan is to spend large next winter and be relevant in 2022. Along the way, we try to improve and be reasonably watchable in 2021, while not going over the tax line.

    If Dalbec does great in the bigs, how can that make him drop, unless he becomes an ex-prospect due to having too many PAs? I could see Downs moving up with a strong start to 2021. Casas doing well at the next level could move him up. Duran, Houck and Ward are all 24, so I'm not sure, if they could crack the top 100 by mid season. (Seabold is 25.) Mata does look like the best chance at adding a 4th player to the top 100. Long shots: Jimenez (20), A Ramirez (19), Yorke (18) and maybe Groome (22), Rosario (21) or Jordon (18). (Potts 22/Lugo 19?) My Sleeper pick: Bello (21)
