    How did extending Sale and Bogey fit into this neat analysis?
  2. moonslav59
    Our winning percentage, last year, would have projected to 65 wins, You basically say losing JBJ and Beni while adding ERod, Richards, Ottavino, EHern, Renroe, Cordero and a full seasons from Pivetta, Dalbec and others and maybe something from Sale equals just +7 wins. Sounds real fair, unless you think the Sox over performed, last year.
  3. moonslav59
    Maybe, but some reports say the Sox have a pool of players to choose from, and they wanted some time to look them over, since last year was a lost season for minor leaguers.

    Baseball Prospects Journal projects we draft Jack Leiter RHP Vanderbilt with the 4th pick. 1. Kumar Rocker, RHP to PIT 2. Jordan Lawlar, SS to TEX 3. Jud Fabian, OF to DET

    I still think they should have made a counter offer, even if they knew it would be turned down... something like $340M/11. It would have showed more effort and desire to keep him, even if just for "show." Betts would not have accepted even $350M/11, and that's probably what Bloom realized.
  6. moonslav59
    Now that the Mets signed Pillar, what is left for JBJ? I doubt the Astros go more than $16M/2, and even that is an overpay, IMO. My guess is, he takes a 1 year deal and tries to show 2020 was not an outlier. Big risk, though.

    The plus for PIT would be years of team control, but if they don't want Chavis, I can understand why. For what it's worth, BTV has Frazier valued at 4.5. He has 2 years of team control, which might overlap with Downs, but we could alsways trade him, once we know Downs is for real and ML ready. (Word is LH's RP'er Brault ison the market, too at a 1.8 value) Here are some possible combinations of values that would come close to 4.5: 6.6 Chavis (in theory could get Frazier and Brault- maybe throw in Brice or Taylor) 6.0 Lugo 5.2 Groome 4.6 Song 3.7 Wong 3.6 Murphy 3.1 Decker 2.9 Bonaci,Potts & Jordan 2.5 Arauz 2.2 Lopez & Gonzalez 2.1 Ramirez 2.0 Bello, Cannon, Cacon, Rafaela I'd give 2 from Decker, Arauz & Murphy for 2 years of Frazier and 3 years of Brault. I'd give Arauz & Cannon for Frazier.

    The thing is, the state went dark way before temps reached the lowest temps since 1989. Yes, our grid is a mess, and it's been known to be so for a long time. We are expanding solar power, here, but coal burning is still a significant factor in our power generation.
  9. moonslav59
    I doubt it takes much to get Adam Frazier. I'd give Chavis, but who knows what his value is to other GMs. BTV says he's worth more than Frazier. I doubt it. I might give Chavis and some low prospect.

    After Sawamura at $3M/2, I think we trade for a 2Bman or CF'er. I doubt we add any more pitchers until the deadline, assuming we are in the race. (I'd sure like to replace Brice with almost anyone, but I'm not sure that happens.) Our opening day 13 man pitching staff (Sale on the 60-day IL): ERod Eovaldi Richards Pivetta Perez Ottavino Barnes DHern Brasier Sawamura Andriese (no options) Brice (no options) Whitlock (rule 5) AAA: Houck, Taylor, Valdez, Mata, Seabold, Brewer, Bazardo If we want Houck on the 26 man roster, we have to DFA Brice or trade someone.
  11. moonslav59
    We got our power back around midnight- just as temps were dropping below 20 and headed towards 13. It still shocks me that 25 degree temperatures can cripple a whole state.
  12. moonslav59
    The "way" was to pay Betts, Price, JD, Sale & Bogey and have 21 replacement level players fill out the rest of the roster. (Sarcasm alert but with kernal of truth.)
  13. moonslav59
    That was JBJs spot!
  14. moonslav59
    Where in Maine are you?
  15. moonslav59
    In my houses I had drilled wells with good pressure but without a pump we had little water. My parents own a place on sebago that has an artesian well. I don’t go there in the winter but I can guess they need power for water and heat.
  16. moonslav59
    They’d have to cut Brice. The man with 9 lives.
  17. moonslav59
    Something can be a very high priority and still not happen. This is baseball. Nothing is a given.
  18. moonslav59
    It’s nice to see the list getting much shorter. Bloom has done a good job on the 28-37th slots.
  19. moonslav59
    Funny how I never meant to actually compare Cordero to Ortiz- I just brought up the late bloomer aspect, but I read an article whereby some guy from KC mentioned Ortiz & Cordero.
  20. moonslav59
    I cut down all my own trees for wood- usually 5-6 cord a year. I had Kerosene back up so no power needed for that either. Candles and lanterns for light. Gas stoves for cooking. Outside for frozen foods. Who needs a shower every week?
  21. moonslav59
    Portland, Gray, Limington and New Glouster. 20 years in 2 log homes. We come back to Sebago Lake every summer. I never called myself a Maniac.
  22. moonslav59
    I can’t wait to watch you back peddle, this summer.
  23. moonslav59
    Umm... I lived in Maine for over 35 years. The difference is, I had wood stoves.
  24. moonslav59
    I say Frazier because Pitt has put him on the market. I’m sure there are others. We just need a 1 year fix.
  25. moonslav59
    I vote Brice & Springs but I’ll be wrong, again. We keep Wilson until we add an OFer.
