    Where'd we find the guy who started tonight, and how do you pronounce his name?
  2. moonslav59
    Nice race for the team lead in OPS. After Bogey's blast: .958 JD .954 Devers .945 Bogey HRs: 31 JD 28 Bogey 27 Devers RBI 103 Devers 97 Bogey 83 JD XBHs 78 Devers 72 Bogey 63 Betts 61 JD

    I'm wondering about our plans for Chavis. While we need a 1Bman and 2Bman, and Chavis can play both, I'm wondering about trading him while his stock is high. He reminds me too much of Middlebrooks. People have been ragging on JBJ for his awful slumps, but somehow Chavis has slid under the radar of the same criticism. .237 12 45 in last 324 PAs (.296 OBP and .688 OPS) .313 6 13 in his first 58 PAs (.446 OBP and 1.236 OPS) To me, Dalbec can probably gives about the same as Chavis has since May 4th- maybe better. If not, we have Ockimey and Travis to play 1B. Marco, Lin and Chatham can battle for 2B. My thought is trading Chavis could bring back more than trading Dalbec, as notin suggested. Then again, keeping all our prospects may make the most sense.
  4. moonslav59
    Yes. If not, we'd be seeing a lot of trades with cash attached (by the Sox, anyways).
  5. moonslav59
    That's the hope. His K rate is off the charts, but his BB/9 is through the ceiling. No doubt, he has nasty stuff.
  6. moonslav59
    Wow, that's $85M in projected "sunken cost". I want to keep Sale. So, Price is owed $96M. We'd have to pay $45M just to get someone to take him for a bag of balls. We'd save $50M, but $45M is a lot to pay for nothing. Maybe there is some team with a guy making close to $45M that we can trade straight -up. Eovaldi is owed $51M. That $26.6M is over half of what he's owed. It probably makes sense to let him comeback in hopes that he builds up value, either for us going forward or to trade at the deadline. I doubt we trade any of the 3. The only other big contract that can even be considered for a trade might be (assuming a reset & rebuild) a JD trade. I wonder, if we'd have to pay much for him.
  7. moonslav59
    I'm disgusted by Wright, too, but the guy has been a good pitcher with a few stretches of very good pitching. I'm thinking he has trade value, too. Maybe someone would give us a decent prospect for JBJ, Wright & Johnson.
  8. moonslav59
    I can't see us trading DHernandez, unless it's part of a bigger package for a better young player with a surer future and/or higher upside. He's the only young pitcher we have that is major league ready and has shown something of value, this year. (Taylor is 26.)
  9. moonslav59
    How about Setember 1st, we DFA Curletta & Owings, add Houck and Chatham to the 40 man roster, and call those two up with Dalbec, Lin, Centeno, Lakins, Velazquez, Poyner and maybe Brewer. Do we DFA someone else (Kelley?) to add and call up Ockimey? (We could also put Price on the 60 day DL to make room.)
  10. moonslav59
    I'd rather just shut him down and hope it helps him prepare and stay healthy for 2020.
  11. moonslav59
    I've been throwing in Johnson on almost every trade suggestion I've made for years and years. Who can we get for JBJ, Hembree, Johnson, Velazquez and Travis?
  12. moonslav59
    I think Leon signs before arb for near min. We will keep Hembree. Wright is a tough call. I happen to think JBJ has trade value, and he'll be dealt not non tendered.
  13. moonslav59
    I think Barnes is due to bounce back and up his (trade) value for the 2020 deadline. Assuming a reset, we do need to think about trading any players with just 1-2 years of control left. Last Arb: Betts JBJ Wright Workman 2 arbs: ERod Barnes Hembree Of course, I'd like to keep Betts & ERod by extending them....
  14. moonslav59
    Just wondering, do you consider any of Price, Sale or Eovaldi "dead wood?" If yes, how much of their contracts would you pay to trade them for basically nothing or a long shot prospect with promise? If no, who is the deadwood? (Pedey is untradable) JD? Arb Guys? JBJ? Leon? (wont make much anyways) Wright? (see Leon) Hembree?
  15. moonslav59
    The Projected 2020 Roster (Assuming no trades, DFA's or FA Signings) SP: Sale, Price, ERod, Eovaldi, D Hernandez, Wright, Johnson or Velazquez RP: Workman, Barnes, Hembree, Taylor, Walden (Wright/Johnson/Velaz.) C: Vaz & Leon (Centeno?) 1B: Chavis & Travis, Dalbec or Ockimey 2B: Marco & Lin (Chatham?) SS: Bogey 3B: Devers LF: Beni (Travis) CF: JBJ? (Beni/Duran) RF: Betts DH: JD

    On Pedroia... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/08/latest-on-dustin-pedroia-2.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook
  17. moonslav59
    Possible in-system options for filling some gaps in 2020: SP: S Wright D Hernandez B Johnson H Velazquez T Houck D Reyes M Shawaryn RP: (See SP'er list) Feltman Lakins Poyner Kelley Bazardo Gorst Joan Martinez 1B: Chavis (2B/3B) Dalbec (3B) Travis (LF) Ockimey (DH) 2B: Chavis (1B/3B) Marco (SS/3B) Lin (SS/3B/OF) Chatham (SS/3B) CF: Duran Lin Travis LF (Beni>CF)
  18. moonslav59
    Yup. I'm not high on Johnson, but if we reset next year, we might want to keep as many guys like him around, in hopes that one or two might have a decent season and keep us from being a last place team (although last place brings nice draft picks).
  19. moonslav59
    Yup, and the GM is long gone by the 7th year of the deal (or earlier).
  20. moonslav59
    Johnson's last starts in reverse order: IP ER 3.0 3 3.2 3 2.2 0 2.2 3 3.0 3 5.0 0 3.0 1____2019 3.0 2 2018 1.1 4 4.1 1 4.1 3 5.2 3 7.0 5 5.0 4 5.2 0 5.0 0 4.2 2 4.2 2 4.0 1 (Nice 5 game stretch way back when)
  21. moonslav59
    We also seem to be bunching our runs into fewer games than recent years... just like the old days.
  22. moonslav59
    Or $310M/10
  23. moonslav59
    Rest for 2020 by getting under the first luxury tax line. It would likely mean trading or non tendering JBJ and signing no free agents this winter, unless we trade more salary or do not offer some arbs. Then, in theory, we can spend large for 2021 (Betts?) and will have had 2 years of better draft positions and higher International draft pools to help start the farm rebuild. We can't guess wrong on almost anything between now and 2021 to make this a 1-2 year down time (cliff).
  24. moonslav59
    You stole my plan! (My plan does not include DD as the GM.)
  25. moonslav59
    Last year, it was .773...kinda like Sam Travis or Chavis.
