The choice need not be all of one or the other.

No, I remember listening to the Bruins play against Plante. I never remember him playing for the Bruins.

I used to live 20 minutes from the Portland Headlight. I love lighthouses, too and often have a lighthouse calendar on my fridge.
-
Fingers crossed!

Will you feel any better, if we do not do all that well over the next 2 years and lose Bogey for next to nothing? (BTW, I'd like to keep Bogey, too, but the opt out is real, and we have to consider ways to get better for the long run.)
-
Yes, but Sale is a special breed. I feel his drive to excel may help him return more quickly. I hope not so quickly he has a setback.
-
I've always felt Dalbec had a better chance at doing well than Chavis. (I have Chavis in half my suggest trades on the trade values site.)
-
That would be very nice. I'm hoping Sale wins it.
-
No doubt, although both K a lot.
-
I remember listening to Bruins games on the radio back in the early 70's. Jacques Plante was amazing. So were Orr, Espisito, Hodges, and others.

I thought Gerry Cheevers wore that scar mask (not the first to wear a mask).

Moneyball and the mechanization and computerization of MLB

Great one! -
If his BA and OBP drop 30 points, but his power continues, the high K's will be more than compensated for, but if his OBP is around .300, I'll be worried.
-
Wait! What? That's what those arrows are for?
-
Even with a steel boot on his left ankle, he's probably still a better defender than Bogey, but missing time is a big concern.
-
Being a 2nd or 3rd string catcher, even if a bad one, helps his value, too.
-
The super high K rate is very concerning, but as long as he can maintain a decent OBP, I'm okay with the K's. His power seems to be real. He was a decent fielder at 3B in the minors and may be better than Devers. I like his chances at becoming a plus defender at 1B and a fine back-up 3Bman. If for some reason, his defense was a mirage, he could end up replacing JD at DH in the longer term plans. While 92 PAs at the MLB is way too small a sample size, his .359 OBP was impressive and right in line with his overall minor league OBP of .362. I agree, I don't see Sanchez as being a fit with Boston, unless they think they can fix his defense enough to play the catcher position- highly doubtful.

Who should the Sox have play CF on opening day?
moonslav59 replied to mvp 78's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
He's not getting over 130-145 IP in 2021, no matter what, so why not? -
If he was any good, defensively, somebody would snatch him up, in hopes his bat comes back, but I doubt anyone wants him at that cost.

Moneyball and the mechanization and computerization of MLB
moonslav59 replied to Maxbialystock's topic in Other Baseball
To me, the word "over confident" implies, too much, usually to the point of becoming a negative influence- like being too cocky. taking winning for granted or resting on your laurels. That's not to say, some cocky or overconfident players, especially in team sports where other players have influence, go on to win, and in a sense "justify" their confidence, but I can see you viewpoint, too. They have such an extreme form of confidence, that it seems beyond our understanding or comprehension- to the point of being "over." Michael Jordan knew those last-second shots were going to go in. -

To take this a step further, I would argue the very best players in any sport are supremely confident. I'm not sure I would call it "over confidence," if they are, indeed, the very best of the best and having supreme confidence does not hurt them in any way. -
I agree on both points. I do think we may see some surprises, but many of these "bubble" players will be traded rather than non-tendered.
-
I'm Glad you noticed. There's not many other well-known trash bag brands.
-
A lot of baseball people drink. Do they drink enough to be labeled "drunks?" Likely, many do. It's the driving part that shows irresponsibility, especially at that age.

A Hefty statement to make!
