    Fire the best or second best manager we've ever had? NOPE! Pedey as a coach? Manager? Double NOPE! NOPE! VTek has never managed. NOPE!
  2. moonslav59
    The Sox move up a slot in the draft! (maybe?)
  3. moonslav59
    top 2 draft picks, too. Big penalty. Let's see where the appeal lands them.
  4. moonslav59
    He went through a lot, but his numbers don't equal those on my short list. I'd be fine with him at 100%. I left of a lot of pitchers, too.
  5. moonslav59
    Worried might not be the word I'd use, but I still think it's a high priority to re-set. My guess is they deal JBJ and wait until July to decide to have a fire sale, assuming we are 8+ down by then.
  6. moonslav59
    We could trade JBJ and Price or Eovaldi and sign Puig. That would get us under.
  7. moonslav59
    Gotta think the babe, Cobb, Gehrig, Musual, Mays and maybe others deserved 100%.
  8. moonslav59
    Wow, that was stiff. 1st and 2nd round draft picks lost and the GM and manager suspended for a year. Waiting for the appeal and results of it.
  9. moonslav59
    No, but he hit over .760 for a large percentage of each of last 3 seasons. He just really sucks for 22-46 games to start the year. I do think he could his .780-.820 again, but I'd bet he ends up near .710-.750 going forward.
  10. moonslav59
    I'm saying I enjoyed watching him suck over Johnson sucking worse.
  11. moonslav59
    It would get us under. Trading JBJ and signing Puig only takes a little off the Lux budget.
  12. moonslav59
    I seriously doubt many hitters have the prolonged and horrid slumps JBJ has, and in the last 3 years- all have been to start the season. .800 hitters may slump for 3-5 weeks, but their slumps might be at .550-.700 not .409 to .537. BTW, JBJ was an .800+ hitter from 2015-2016 (.834 over all 230 games), but even then, he had some horrid slumps: 2015: .384 in first 21 games! (.962 last 53 games) .608 in first 27 games 2016: .586 first 16 games (.861 last 140 games)

    No, but the war on drugs was, and yes, not in a funny way. It focused on the wrong thing and criminalized a disease. Totally off-base.
  14. moonslav59
    No, but second, yes- just because of PEDs.
  15. moonslav59
    He actually does very well for most of each season. He just has horrible 3-5 week stretches that bring him down to about .720. 2017: .537 first 22 games .761 last 111 games (very respectable for 83% of season) 2018: .502 first 46 games .793 last 106 games (better than respectable for 70% of season) 2019: .409 first 31 games .828 last 115 games (Very good for 79% of season) Maybe this is why he has more value, but man-o-man, those few weeks kill us!
  16. moonslav59
    I'm not sure I said it, and it really shouldn't matter, but when you look at history, it would seem unfair that Jete gets a unanimous vote, which is different from making it first ballot. He will make it first ballot. I wouldn't vote for him on any ballot, except maybe his last try.
  17. moonslav59
    Apparently, JBJ has positive value- meaning someone would give something for JBJ without us having to pay a cent, but I'll believe it when I see it. I don't see why he has so much higher value than other great defensive CF'er who don't hit very well getting much less on the open market. Take a guy like Jake Marisnick. He has about the same OPS as JBJ over the last 3 years, and he makes way less than JBJ. He was traded for scraps.
  18. moonslav59
    As we all knew it would/should.
  19. moonslav59
    Not first ballot, but yes on the second one. He barley played in the field and did not lose too many games on defense. His bat far out-weighed Jete's.
  20. moonslav59
    They should have the check he got by selling it there. It's a story by itself.
  21. moonslav59
    Not on the first ballot.
  22. moonslav59
    I never said that. Being bad but not horrible might still allow you to get in. Or, if you are a great hitter (Jeter was not), it could outweigh being a really bad fielder. Jeter was a good hitter, a good runner and a horrible defender at an important position. It's close, but I say no- certainly on the first ballot, but it looks like I'm in a tiny minority on this case. How many players get in with a unanimous vote first ballot? Do you think Jeter deserves that?
  23. moonslav59
    yes +1
  24. moonslav59
    Well, my point was about 2020, and you mentioned him.
  25. moonslav59
    He was ready when we needed him, at least.
