    I looked it up: the record is 20. Bogey (7), Moreland (6), Betts (4) and Vaz (4) had 21 between the 4 of them!
  2. moonslav59
    Yes, and $13M per year towards the luxury tax budget.
  3. moonslav59
    24 men left on base! That must have shattered the record. You have to try hard to do this.
  4. moonslav59
    Yes, and it makes some sense, assuming Vaz keeps hitting this well. If he catches a lot, he will need rest. I'm not sure DH'ing will give him enough "rest," but he should be able to do it at times. Another thought is that we currently have 8 players hitting over .810 the last 4 weeks and Beni at .757. I'm not sure there is really much urgency to try to play Vaz everyday within this context, and we don't want to burn him out, either. We could maybe have Leon catch Sale & Price, and maybe Vaz could DH one of those "off day" and sit out every 5th game. Maybe he could catch 6 of 10 games and DH 3 of 10 for a while. I'm not sure I want JD in the OF that much as he will be playing the OF at NL parks, too.
  5. moonslav59
    If you get him at the deadline, his cost may be about $5M with no cash involved or no costly player going to KC. If he's all we get, we may be able to stay under the max line.
  6. moonslav59
    I don't think the risk to Leon getting hurt in the middle of a game is reason enough to not DH Vaz. I think we may have better hitters to DH or keep off the field (JD or Pedey), but I'd certainly prefer Leon catching and Vaz DH'ing over Nunez or Pearce, right now.
  7. moonslav59
    Let Vaz catch 4 of 5 games with Leon catching Sale. If Vaz needs more rest, which he should at some point, let Leon catch Price here and there. If Vaz keeps hitting so well, then DH him, when he doesn't catch, if it looks like the right thing to do. Right now, we have 8 guys hitting over .800 the last 4 weeks, so it's not like Vaz is the only guy hot right now. We don't want to burn Vaz out. Leon seemed to burn out last year after Vaz got hurt, and he had to catch more often that he should have.
  8. moonslav59
    I'm all for moving him and Dalbec up a level, but I trust Sox management knows when they should be moved.
  9. moonslav59
    I thought so, too, but I think he ends up over .950.
  10. moonslav59
    He's too far away to think about, IMO.
  11. moonslav59
    He was supposed to miss about 6 weeks. I haven't heard about him starting a rehab assignment, but living down here in Texas kind of puts me out of the loop.
  12. moonslav59
    What makes you think JD will stay "down" the remainder of this year? .910 is not all that far from 1.031. If he ends over .975, he may test the waters, but even if he does, I think he ends up back here, for the same reasons he did before. Nobody else will pay what we will offer him.
  13. moonslav59
    If it comes down to keeping JD vs Porcello, I'm certain it will be JD. I shudder at trying to fill Porcello's shoes with someone from this group: Velazquez Johnson Wright Shawaryn D Hernandez Weber J Smith ...but we may have to try it to the deadline.
  14. moonslav59
    ERA over the last 4 weeks: (IP) 0.00 Barnes (9.2) & Hembree (8.2) 0.60 Walden (15.0) 1.13 Weber (8.0) 1.64 Workman (11.0) 2.16 Sale (33.1) 2.65 Price (17.0) 2.94 Porcello (33.2) 3.00 Brewer (9.0) 3.34 ERod (29.2) 4.91 JSmith (7.1) 5.40 Brasier (8.1) 7.11 Velazquez (12.2) 9.00 Thornburg (8.0) Team: 2.94 (1.03 WHIP, 10.4 K/9, 3.6 K/BB)
  15. moonslav59
    We have 8 guys with an OPS over .800 over the last 4 weeks! 7 are over .872! 9 are over .756. 1.110 Vaz (Is this for real?) 1.004 Chavis (Can he keep this up or even .800+ the rest of the way?) .998 Betts (Returning to form.) .952 Devers (.354 BA is shocking.) .888 Bogey (Steady Bogey.) .883 Moreland (Back to his first half heroics.) .873 JD (If he gets back to 1.000, watch out!) .810 Leon (SCM must have morning sickness.) .756 Beni (I'm expecting a break-out streak.) .535 Nunez (Why he is DH'ing, I'll never know.) .522 JBJ (Maybe that HR will spark a hot streak) .403 Pearce (I'm losing hope.)
  16. moonslav59
    I could definitely see that. I've talked of Devers moving to 1B, eventually, many times, but I always said he should get a chance to prove himself at 3B first. I'm think Chavis will be our 1Bman next year, assuming he doesn't fall off a cliff. Holt & Nunez are FAs, so we may sign a (cheap) 2Bman this winter. I doubt we go with Pedey, Lin and Chatham.
  17. moonslav59
    Yes, about 23-35% of the time.
  18. moonslav59
    Finally a homer but still just 1 for 5.
  19. moonslav59
    Who poops, SCM?
  20. moonslav59
    2.35?
  21. moonslav59
    I do think hitters face pitchers closer to ML'ers than in AA.
  22. moonslav59
    He threw hate at about 10 Sox players all winter long. Two off them are off to bad starts (JBJ & Brasier), but I'm sure all you hear about is about those 2.
  23. moonslav59
    Those last 64 IP, including the playoffs have to be unmatched, at least by a RP'er. Maybe Bob Gibson had a better stretch back in '68. Bob went 11 straight games with... 11 CG (99 IP) 0.27 ERA .390 OPS against 83 K and 13 BB
  24. moonslav59
    Here's something even sicker.... Over his last 47 games of 2013 (50 IP): June 10-end of season 167 PAs against 15 hits 3 BB (1 Intentional) 1 HR 67 Ks (if you take away the IBB, his K/BB ratio was 33.5 to 1.) 2 ER (0.36 ERA) .092 BA .108 OBP .147 SLG .255 OPS Then, he won the ALCS MVP and had these playoff numbers in 2013: 13.2 IP 6 H 0 BB .439 WHIP 16K (Infinity K/BB rate) 1 ER (a solo blast) 1 bad pitch while facing 46 batters on playoff teams!
  25. moonslav59
    2nd half of 2013: WHIP 0.313 Uehara 0.976 Breslow
