    Yes, indeed, and we should be cautious about anointing Houck our 2021 ace based on 3 games sample sizes.

    I get that, but you didn't answer my question. I know you have been on the side of the "cliff" being unavoidable, as I was, but I'm wondering when you expected it to arrive? To me,last year's performance and and the reset priority being known were big clues that the cliff had already arrived. Sure, without the Sale and ERod health issues, we'd have been "better," but both of them are signed through 2021 or longer, so were you thinking 2022 or 2023?

    JBJ is so up and down, it's hard to determine he "has matured." He's post-prime. His defense has declined, too. Let him walk. I'm not sure we'll see Mata or Downs, next year. If we sign an OF'er or two, even Duran may not be called up until September. Also, the sample sizes of Houck and Munoz are about the same. How can one be a "clear positive" while the other is a "question mark?"
  4. moonslav59
    Like in DFA? Why? He has trade value, at worst. Our pen sucks, but why get rid of one of the better ones? I think he has like the 2nd or 3rd best pen WHIP and OPS against on the team, this year.
  5. moonslav59
    I thought he had a year left. My bad.
  6. moonslav59
    JBJ may end the season over .800! Vaz just went over.800. Who-da-thunk both may pass Devers in OPS tomorrow.
  7. moonslav59
    Houck is looking more and more legit. It's still a small sample size, but this was a good team he shut down. Who da thunk?
  8. moonslav59
    Jeff Samardzija released. Maybe worth a shot?
  9. moonslav59
    We're one of the 3 worst teams in MLB, so there is that.
  10. moonslav59
    DD did keep Devers and Beni.
  11. moonslav59
    This is what they meant by "cleared to walk:"
  12. moonslav59
    Bauer fits in with every team. His contract not so much.

    These are staggeringly horrific numbers: SOX WHIP SP'ers: 1.579 RP'ers: 1.649 ERA: 5.51 SP 5.94 RP OPS Against .871 SP .846 RP OPS Against by RP'ers with the most PAs Against: .781 Valdez (132 PAs Against) .687 Brasier (105) .706 Barnes (102) .973 Springs (99) .579 Weber (86) .884 Brice (77) 1.209 Walden (71) .815 Osich (62) .826 Stock (62) .799 Covey (60) .756 Brewer (51) 1.269 Hembree (40) .861 Hall (40) .861 Taylor (36) .472 D Hern (34) 1.075 Kickham (34) .683 Workman (31) .519 Mazza (29) 1.621 Leyer (29) SP'ers .744 Perez (262) .789 Eovaldi (199) 1.112 Godley (127) .861 Mazza (107) 1.056 Weber (91) 1.005 Brewer (71) 1.128 Hart (54) .371 Houck (40) 1.194 Kickham (33) .556 Pivetta (21)

    Getting a mediocre closer won't help much. Trading for a very good, low cost closer will be costly. Barnes has one year left and is pretty iffy as a closer. What do suggest we do?
  16. moonslav59
    When did you think "the cliff" was going to start? 2021? 2022?
  17. moonslav59
    I'm sure there are many.
  18. moonslav59
    If we end up with a winning % under .383 (the 1965 Red Sox team), it will be our worst record since 1932! I'd say it's safe to call this the cliff.
  19. moonslav59
    He seemed like an old prospect when we signed him.
  20. moonslav59
    They have a coffee boy opening?
  21. moonslav59
    I really would not mind Pillar & Miller, and save all remaining available resources for pitching and possible summer needs..
  22. moonslav59
    As out 4th OF'er, sure.
  23. moonslav59
    I'm not sure I want Chavis in LF much, next year. I'm not sure Duran is ready for 2021. I'd like to see us get a CF'er, even if on a 1-2 year deal and a 4th OF'er on a 1 yr deal. We could get a 1B/OF type or a 2B/OF type as the "4th OF'er."
  24. moonslav59
    I expected a team just under .500, assuming normal health issues. Nothing from Sale & ERod was huge. I did not expect the Jays to be this good. I thought we'd mop upon them and the O's.
  25. moonslav59
    I was one of the first to give up on the 2019 team, and usually I'm one of the last. I have been a "cliff" dweller for several seasons,so I thought some must see me as a "downer." I've been highly critical of those who said it would be easy or quick to rebuild the farm. I don't gush over every Sox prospect, which is not an area I consider myself any more knowledgeable than many on this site. (I admit my liking some prospects over others is often based on non evidence based conjecture. That being said, I watched nearly very pitch of every game for decades (until this year) and love my Sox like no one else I know.
