    Only Sale and health can prove you wrong. How many teams have a better number 1 or 2? I'd say maybe 20-30 have a better #1 and 5-10 a better #2. I'm not sure anyone has a #3 better than ERod, so calling him a 3-4 is rather rash.

    23rd in ERA- reflects the park adjustments. He may still nibble a bit too much. He may still walk too many guys, but he gets out of the messes he creates, and keeps his team in almost every game he pitches. He's let up 5 or 6 ERs (never more) only 10 times in his last 56 starts. (Porcello's done that in just 30 games, this year.) Last 7 starts: 1.00 ERA and .549 OPS against. The team is 6-1.

    In reality, looking at the state of pitching, these days, he's clearly a top 60 pitcher. In my opinion that makes him a strong #2. (30 teams- top 30 are #1's, next 30 #2's, etc...) One could argue he's a low #1. 2018-2019: 143 SP'ers with 150+ IP (just about 5 per team x 30 teams) ERod ranks... 37th WAR 5.4 (The "washed up & injured Sale is 5th & Price 45th.) ERA- 9. Sale 68 23. ERod 77 31. Price 83 WHIP 4. Sale 0.97 43. Price 1.21 76. ERod 1.29 xFIP- 1. Sale 59 39. Price 89 44. ERod 91 I'd say he's a solid #2, and if you look at how often he helps us win, win, win, he close to a top 30 pitcher in MLB, right now.

    ERod is a winner. Team record in his starts- 2018 and 2019: 19-4 2018 24-8 2019 That's an amazing 43-12 (78% winning pct.)!

    It does bug me, sometimes, and I can understand how it may bother others more than me, but I do find many of jacko's posts to be insightful, interesting or at least tolerable. I don't really see him as a "troll" although some of his posts seem troll-like and certainly set several Sox fans off like they were trolled heavily.

    I've seen quite a few Sox fans get all gah-gah over young Sox prospects or players after a couple months, a couple weeks or even a couple ABs, so I guess it's not so unbelievable for a few Yankee fans to do the same. I guess what bugs me is how the criteria always changes when he's evaluating Sox players & prospects. At least harmony uses the same criteria all the time, but some times modulates the time sample to make Sox players look worse.

    My wife was almost trapped at her school. She moved her van just in time to a higher part of the parking lot, and the water almost reached the doors! She just got home. It took her 95 mins instead of 45. We are not flooded here on the SW side. Thanks for asking.

    I was responding to the post about Devers that also mentioned Beni.
  10. moonslav59
    I'd keep Weber and Chacin as depth and prayers.
  11. moonslav59
    If they know it's coming, can they just do the surgery before it blows?
  12. moonslav59
    Man, you really have a very selective and ever-changing criteria for judging Yankee talent levels.
  13. moonslav59
    "Dicktate" - I like that!
  14. moonslav59
    Mal, You're one of the most enjoyable posters on this site. I hope you can find a way to stay involved here. Maybe try text to speech and speech to text programs. We'll miss you!
  15. moonslav59
    We gave them Pablo back. It's only fair!
  16. moonslav59
    Is it Webercracklin of Cracklinweber?
  17. moonslav59
    Still feelin' the love?
  18. moonslav59
    Wow! We see one game, and already this kid is the next, who? Carl Yastremski?
  19. moonslav59
    I guess we disagree on what trolling is or maybe some of us have varying thicknesses of skin.
  20. moonslav59
    Back to the Sox and 2020, how many here think 1B or 2B is a higher need area? 1B: Chavis, Travis, Dalbec, Ockimey 2B: Chavis, Marco, Lin, Chatham (Dalbec?) If Dalbec ends up showing he can hit MLB pitching, is anybody for moving Devers to 1B so Dalbec can play a better defensive 3B, or does it make sense to trade Dalbec for a pitcher, 1Bman, 2Bman or CF'er, if we let JBJ walk?
  21. moonslav59
    Well said.
  22. moonslav59
    He seems to have longer stretches of being lost. He keeps having enough hot streaks to keep him decent or better than decent, but he's starting to remind me of JBJ without the D.
  23. moonslav59
    I've never seen anything like it, especially where the team is going for the best record.
  24. moonslav59
    Okay, but even 50 or 99th are usually not called "great," apparently unless they are a Yankee.
  25. moonslav59
    Went to bed after 13. Just caught the ending. Seemed like this game was like our whole season in 1 game.
