    At this point, everything is about C-19. Stay safe, my friends.
  2. moonslav59
    Precisely!
  3. moonslav59
    There is a thread for the Coronavirus. This is not it.

    Fine. I prefaced my post with "all healthy."
  7. moonslav59
    Look how much time Moreland has been hurt. I guess we could wait until he gets hurt, then call him up. Fine with me. I just posted what I thought were our best line-ups.
  8. moonslav59
    Dalbec can also play 3B, when Devers rests, and it should be just a matter of days before Moreland is on the IL. I'm also thinking Ockimey might be a good option as a weak side platoon. He's killed lefties for 3 years in the minors.

    March Madness may be played in empty arenas.
  10. moonslav59
    Not really, but trading for one partial salary-dump type is an option.
  11. moonslav59
    Not really true. Nothing is "learned" over small sample sizes. No doubt, it didn't work well in 2019, but here are Beni's career splits (note PAs: 200+ PAs): .951 in 6 slot (99 PAs) .832 in 4 slot (94) .831 in 1 slot (332) .794 in 2 slot (960) .736 in 2 slot (204) .708 in 5 slot (236)
  12. moonslav59
    Here are the career L-R splits: OPS vs RHPs/LHPs Puig .845/.762 (note: reverse splits) Sox vs RHPs .871 Devers (.996 in 2019) .861 Martinez .830 Benintendi .789 Moreland .787 Bogaerts (.950 in 2019) .783 Verdugo .774 Chavis (2019) .757 Lin (129 PAs) .750 JBJ .665 Peraza (platoon) .661 Vazquez (should get rest days vs RHPs only) .648 Plawecki vs LHPs .861 Martinez .845 Bogaerts (.910 in 2019) .785 Verdugo .771 Vazquez .750 Devers (.744 in 2019) .742 Chavis (Peraza vs LHPs at 2B) .738 Peraza .696 Benintendi (consider moving down in line-up vs LHPs) .671 Moreland (should not start vs RHPs) .669 JBJ (platoon?) .599 Plawecki (should only start vs RHPs) .502 Lin (32 PAs)
  13. moonslav59
    Assuming everyone is healthy, I like these line-ups: vs RHPs: 1. L Beni LF 2. R Bogaerts SS 3. L Verdugo RF 4. L Devers 3B 5. R Martinez DH 6. L Moreland 1B 7. R Chavis/Peraza 2B 8. L JBJ CF 9. R Vaz C vs LHPs 1. L Beni 2. R Bogaerts 3. L Verdugo (has hit LHPs equally well) 4. R Martinez 5. L Devers 6. R Chavis 2B 7. R Dalbec 1B 8. R Vaz C 9. L JBJ CF
  14. moonslav59
    I'm a big Dalbec fan, but I think he should start out as a platoon vs LHPs only. Moreland and Ockimey are better choices vs RHPs- the majority of PAs. Here are the recent splits by our possible 2020 1Bmen: OPS vs RHPs/LHPs Dalbec (Bats R) 2019 .753/.950 AAA 2019 .794/.904 AA 2018 .868/.701 AA 2018 .970/.881 A+ Moreland 2019 .887/.598 MLB 2018 .780/.684 MLB 2017 .784/.684 MLB Chavis (bats R) 2019 .774/.742 MLB (slumped 2nd half .649 overall) 2019 .850/1.786 (7 AB) AAA 2018 .917/.644 (33 AB total) AAA 2018 .880/.964 AA Ockimey (Bats L) 2019 .898/.535 AAA 2018 .783/.460 AAA 2018 .968/.586 AA On paper, it looks like Moreland or Ockimey vs RHPs and Dalbec vs LHP. Chavis should not play 1B, unless in an emergency or after a PH situation. If we get Puig, what happens when Verdugo comes back? Bench the $11M JBJ? I'm not against getting Puig, but I'd prefer pitching upgrades.
  15. moonslav59
    Probably not if we hold off surgery for a few more months.
  16. moonslav59
    It's pure speculation, of course, and the names on the list (more than 26, BTW) are just possible slot-fillers.
  17. moonslav59
    It doesn't look like it helped for 2020, but it didn't hurt more than losing Betts. Let's see how Price does, and how healthy he is going to be.
  18. moonslav59
    soxprospects.com has this as the projected 2021 roster: SP: Sale, Erod, Eovaldi, Perez, Mata/Ward RP: Barnes, DHern, Houck, Hembree, Taylor, Brasier, Feltman, Mazza/Osich C: Vazquez, Plawecki 1B: Moreland, Chavis 2B: Downs, Peraza (Pedey) 3B: Devers, Dalbec SS: Bogaerts, Chatham LF: Beni, Wilson CF: Duran, Lin RF: Verdugo DH: JD
  19. moonslav59
    Huh?
  20. moonslav59
    Not even close. We will remain a big spending team, even this year. Our rebuild could be hastened by writing off 2020. If we spend over the tax line in 2021, we could be an odd-on playoff team. The Marlins are years away.
  21. moonslav59
    This season is toast. Just put Sale under the knife and hope for a speedy return. Deal Workman and others at the deadline. Make deals that only help us in 2021 and beyond- with an emphasis on 2022 and beyond.
  22. moonslav59
    Thanks for the update. Looks like Weber is pushing for the opener slot/5th starter.
  23. moonslav59
    His sub par years were long ago. Yes, his injury history hurts his value. I never said otherwise. His 2017 and 2018 seasons were not "sub par." He's been pretty healthy for 3 years in a row. I think that helps his value more than missing 2015 & 2016 with injuries and sucking in 2014 (maybe due to an injury). IP (MLB & AAA) 68.2 2017 (4-1 1.55/ 1.000 in AAA in 29 IP) 71.1 2018 (2-1 3.90/ 0.867 in AAA in 30 IP) 71.2 2019 all MLB
  24. moonslav59
    Workman's 2017-2019 numbers: 17-3 2.59 (153 IP) 1.127 WHIP 5.9 H/9 0.8 HR/9 4.2 BB/9 10.5 K/9 3.52 FIP Craig Kimbrel 2017-2019 10-5 2.66 (152 IP) 0.934 WHIP 5.0 H/9 1.3 HR/9 3.4 BB/9 14.9 K/9 3.02 FIP
  25. moonslav59
    Mostly due to injuries. His career numbers are brought down by that horrific 2014 season (1-10 5.17/1.452 WHIP). That was long ago. He missed 2016 and parts of other seasons, but the two seasons prior to 2019, he was decent: 7-2 3.22 in 81 IP(1.210 WHIP) 8.2 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 If he could bring his BB/9 rate down, 5.7 in 2019, he could be great. He only allowed 3.6 H per 9 IP last year (7.4 career)! He had a 0.1 HR/9 rate (1 HR in 71.2 IP)!
