    Nope: Duran hater are you! LOL
  2. moonslav59
    He makes more because he's year 2 of 3. Maybe he's worth more in value per year?
  3. moonslav59
    I have Duran valued higher than Paredes. I really like Paredes and thinks he improves greatly in 2026. He turns 27 in FEB. He plays 3B or 2B and even 1B. Duran turns 30 in SEPT and might be our FT DH in 2026. He dropped off a little bit, last year but has been real good over the last 3 seasons. Right now, he might be our best player on offense. At worst he's second or third to Anthony & Contreras. I'm not for handing him away. The Cincy fans on BTV berated me for suggesting he's worth as much as Lodolo. AZ fans slammed me for suggesting Duran plus others for KMarte.
  4. moonslav59
    I counted Masa & Story as "spending more."

    There was talk, early on on signing a FA pitcher and trading for position players, and that looked backwards to me. It turns out we traded for an everyday player (Contreras) and maybe we trade for a 3B/2Bman. We traded for Gray and Oviedo and signed Ranger. It's a pretty shocking turnover on the pitching front from just 2025, and to think Brez added a lot of "his own" pitcher additions before 2025 (and during.) Added: Sonny Gray & Ranger Suarez Johan Oviedo & Jake Bennett Ryan Watson & Isaiah Jackson During 2025: Hicks & Harrison/ Matz, May & Holobetz Lost: Gio & Buehler/ Wilson, Matz & Wink Fitts & Dobbins Bernardino & Murphy Guerrero & Hoppe Clarke & Perales Fajardo & Travieso Paez & Aita

    The money might have just about evened out with the deferrals. I like this deal. I'd have been fine had we paid Bregman $165M/5 or even $175M/5, but I know the cost would reduce future signings- so will Ranger's.
  7. moonslav59
    LOL. With inflation factored in, not even half.
  8. moonslav59
    It's hard to know how other GMs value Campbell. His contract can look like a big risk or a big opportunity. BTV accepts just KC for 1 year of Hoerner. I'd probably do that. Maybe add Mullins. I might give Crawford (22 value) for Hoerner (16). Now that we have Ranger, I'd feel safer trading a little SP depth. BTV accepts Crawford, Campbell & Bennet for Matt Shaw.
  9. moonslav59
    Some BTV numbers: 69 KMarte (5 yrs) 44 Matt Shaw (5 yrs) 32 Donovan (2 yrs) 28 Stott (2 yrs) 22 Viento or B Baty (both 4 yrs) 20 Chisholm (1 yr) 19 McLain (2 yrs) 16 Hoerner (2 yrs) 12 Paredes (2 yrs) 7 Bohm (1 yr) 2 G Torres (1 yr) -4 C Seager (6 yrs) Best player: KMarte Best value: Paredes Most Likely: Vientos (maybe Hoerner)
  10. moonslav59
    I would not give Tolle o Early for Hoerner, either.
  11. moonslav59
    He's 30, so it's not all that bad. Maybe this quiets those who say no more long deals given.
  12. moonslav59
    I dont want him.
  13. moonslav59
    The fWAR Pitching Leaders from 2024 to 2025: 180+ IP (133 Pitchers) 4. Crochet 10.4 13. R Suarez 7.5 14. S Gray 7.4 57. Bello 3.9 (65. Houck 3.5) 105. Crawford 1.8 ERA- 10. Crochet 72 22. Suarez 79 54. Bello 93 73. Gray 100 FIP 6. Crochet 2.80 13. Gray 3.36 15. Suarez 3.29 72. Bello 4.19
  14. moonslav59
    Okay. I now await the breakdown of our top 3 pitchers vs NYY's and TOR's...
  15. moonslav59
    It's simple: add an -es.
  16. moonslav59
    I'm just saying no Brez adds a 3Bman and 2Bman, unless he trades Mayer.
  17. moonslav59
    Nice try. I'm not the guy who gives Duran (valued at 45) for Paredes (valued at 12.)
  18. moonslav59
    Just my opinion. IMO, Paredes is worth close to 30. Duran, maybe 40.
  19. moonslav59
    We can bet Bichette won't be the 2Bman.
  20. moonslav59
    Did NOT see this coming! $26M x 5 No deferrals. No opt outs. The first 5+ year deal since Yoshida in 2023.
  21. moonslav59
    The Red Sox are going to sign left-hander Ranger Suárez, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post. It’s a five-year deal worth $130MM, report
  22. moonslav59
    While I think BTV overvalues Duran (46) and undervalues Paredes (12) I don't think 3 years of Duran is equal to 2 years of Paredes. Yes, we are "desperate" for an infielder, but HOU is desperate for an OF'er. If we trade Duran for Paredes, I'd want 2 from this group: B King, Sousa, Abreu or their catching prospect Janek. (Maybe just one and some decent prospect.)
  23. moonslav59
    I guess you didn't see the 2025 Bregman, Buehler and Chapman signings coming, either.
  24. moonslav59
    Depends how you rate SP'ers. If you go by the idea that a #1 is a top 3 SP'er, and a #2 is 31-60 and so on, then fWAR would score them this way from 2025's numbers: #1 Crochet (4th ranked) #1 Gray (20th) #2 Bello (60th) #5 Oviedo & Harrison NR Sandoval & Crawford We lost a #3 Giolito (65th) and maybe a #3 in Dobbins (#114th in a half season) plus #5s Buehler, Fitts & Houck.
  25. moonslav59
    I think HOU wants an OF'er. They love taking pitchers they think are an Astros tweek away from a CY Young Award, but it's hard to know if they spot one on the Sox roster. If they were high on Campbell, a one-for-one trade works well on BTV. I'd even add a mis level prospect, too, if needed- maybe Phillips or Eyanson.
