    Now, that's some speculating!
  2. moonslav59
    That's right. He wanted them to exercise the 2 option years, and they said no. He pouted. They released confidential medical reports, and the whole thing blew up.
  3. moonslav59
    Yes, but the idea was we'd have Eovaldi and Pearce all year- not just 1/3. We also had Brasier and Workman starting out the season on the 25 man roster. Many felt that might be enough to bridge us to a deal at the deadline for a closer.
  4. moonslav59
    I think Manny's deal ran out after the rules changed for the worse, and I'm not sure what pick the Dodgers ended up getting, if any.
  5. moonslav59
    You forgot the Margot & Beeks in MLB column.
  6. moonslav59
    Progressive= robo umps & launch angles, no?
  7. moonslav59
    We also got Workman as compensation for losing JBay.
  8. moonslav59
    Yes, of course. Pom gave us one very good year in 2017 sandwiched around a pretty poor half season in 2016 and a pretty bad 2018 season. Calling it a win, now is probably right, but the hindsight court is still gathering evidence (on Espi) before the verdict is final.
  9. moonslav59
    I really wanted Quintana, too, but he has not done all that well since leaving Chicago. Could we have gotten both by adding Espi, Dubon, Shaw and Basabe?
  10. moonslav59
    Did it? Pom certainly did well for some of the time here, but he was not ever a big part of us winning a ring. We don't know what Espi will do- post surgeries. Plus, my point was never about not trading ESpi, it was about making more trades like Sale and not Pom, Thornburg and Kimbrel.
  11. moonslav59
    This off season? I'm not so sure, but certainly it could very well happen. A lot depends on who is our next GM and what direction is chosen.
  12. moonslav59
    We have almost the same record as the Cubs, this year. Not that it means much.
  13. moonslav59
    Some things bugged me about Tito, but I was very supportive and praised him way more than criticizing him. At the end, I turned, but I was no where near the first. (BTW, I was the last to turn on Booby V.- something I'm not proud of. I turned on Farrell maybe earlier than most.

    How about XBHs: 83 Devers 81 Bogey 73 Betts 70 JD 57 Beni TBs 328 Devers 313 Bogey 304 JD 302 Betts 226 Beni 202 Vaz 181 JBJ 154 Chavis (382 PAs) 123 Moreland (286 PAs)
  15. moonslav59
    Am I going to be left with stretch marks?!?!
  16. moonslav59
    Good to know, but my guess is you'' feel the same about Chacin after his next start or the one after.
  17. moonslav59
    Yes, and I'm not counting what managers did before or after Boston, so Williams is 3rd in my book. Yes, Cora makes mistakes and so did Tito and every manager.
  18. moonslav59
    How about 2B+3B? 54 Devers 50 Bogey 45 Betts 44 Beni 35 JD
  19. moonslav59
    Still glad we let Buch walk.
  20. moonslav59
    Yes, you are right. He pitched in 8 games for the Fort Wayne Tin Caps (starting 7 of them) before injuring his arm and needing his first Tommy John surgery.
  21. moonslav59
    Is Chacin your next Weber? Have you given up on Weber, yet?
  22. moonslav59
    Are we talking about Phil MaCracken?
  23. moonslav59
    I will add that I don't recall anyone agreeing with my "greatest" opinion.
  24. moonslav59
    Never losing less than 89 games is impressive. Two rings is awesome. Those were some good to great years (2 championships in 8 seasons and 1 first place) I can certainly see why many feel he was the best, but I still like Cora a little more.
  25. moonslav59
    Yes, I figured you'd reply and disagree, since you are so anti-progressive (LOL). Dick Williams did a great job in '67, and I have him 3rd on my list. We need more time to judge Cora, but I like his approach, and I find myself disagree with less of his decisions than others. I really liked Tito for a long time, but he lost control of the team. I realize he had side issues going on, and one could argue Cora has of is "losing" this team, but in my opinion, Cora is the best, but it's close.
