    Some one said, today, that no active player has ever had a season with a higher OPS than Teddy's career 1.116. The closest players are... 1.115 Pujols in '08 1.109 Harper '15 1.106 Pujols '03 1.102 Pujols '06 1.101 Pujols '09 1.088 Trout '18 1.079 Betts '18 1.078 Miggy '13 1.071 Pujols '04 1.071 Trout '17 (Ortiz 1.066 in '07, not active, I know) 1.049 Judge '17 1.042 Miggy '10 1.039 Pujols '05 1.033 Miggy '11 1.032 Votto '17 1.031 JD '18

    No, your not asking for anything he hasn't already done over and over- bounce back after a long slump.
  3. moonslav59
    Do Fred Lynn, Luis Tiant and Nomar come out ahead of Pedey, despite their limted time with the Sox? Nomar had a much higher WAR per game played with the Sox, and so did Fisk.
  4. moonslav59
    Williams has to be number 1. I never saw him play. I'd put Yaz, Papi, Pedro, Manny, Betts, Clemens, Rice, Evans and Boggs ahead of Pedey. There may be more I haven't thought of, especially before my time (early 70's). Maybe he's top 10 in my book.
  5. moonslav59
    It's hard to ever know why. Maybe having such a great World Series went to his head. He seemed to be swinging for a HR every swing (and always trying to pull it).
  6. moonslav59
    Well, he hit .366 last year, and he's not yet at prime, so my hopes are he can get near .380. .380+ is ideal for your lead off guy, but I'm fine with .366.
  7. moonslav59
    I'd prefer .380+ from our lead off guy, but I think Beni will hit near that from here on out.
  8. moonslav59
    He's been going to LF a lot, as well. With 7 guys hitting over .824 right now, chances are one or two will slump. JBJ getting hot can make up for that, and then some.
  9. moonslav59
    Beni still has a .353 OBP, so I don't think it is time to panic. (He's .370 career vs RHPs and .319 vs LHPs, but this year his OBP vs LHPs is better.)
  10. moonslav59
    The weird thing is, he started turning it around on May 20th, last year, too.
  11. moonslav59
    In terms of grit & effort? Top 3 for sure. In terms of production? Probably not top 20.
  12. moonslav59
    Why bring this up? Should everyone be perfect everyday of their life? Without Buck, we never even make the playoffs in '86.
  13. moonslav59
    Baseball is a weird sport. You never know what might happen when and if the Yanks finally get healthy.

    Sox OPS by Position (not counting today's game): 2019 Position 2018 .751 C .547 +.204 .900 3B .699 +.201 .870 SS .870 +.003 .655 2B .692 -037 .732 1B .732 -.042 .759 LF .820 -.061 .820 DH .942 -.122 .887 RF 1.078 -.195 .520 CF .717 -.197
  15. moonslav59
    I'm not giving up on the division or best record in MLB, but the WC doesn't scare me. Updated OPS after today: .924 JD .915 Chavis .893 Devers .884 Betts .873 Bogey .870 Moreland .824 Vaz .754 Beni .609 Leon .552 JBJ .497 Pearce .493 Nunez
  16. moonslav59
    Don't look now, but JBJ's OPS is now over .550. He was at .421 on May 18th. Let's hope this is for real!
  17. moonslav59
    Chavis is 2 for 2 with a BB and is the only Sox player in the line-up not to score a run.
  18. moonslav59
    Not bad when you consider he's already averaging 25 HRs per 630 PAs.
  19. moonslav59
    Just heard Bill Buckner never struck out 3 times in a game. WOW!
  20. moonslav59
    Plus, Pedey's deal was 8n years, while Sale's is 5 and Bogey's 6. That's a big difference, especially when you look the age comps.
  21. moonslav59
    It must be hard to quit the game you love so much after making it to the highest level and playing like an MVP. He's a fighter. I'd have been shocked, if he didn't look the way he did.
  22. moonslav59
    He has been far from "excellent" on defense. He should have caught that ball vs Houston, yesterday, for one example. I'm fine with Chavis as our FT 2Bman, but let's not kid ourselves.
  23. moonslav59
    Well said. I enjoyed watching Buckner play. The man could hit, even after the knee issues. He was a top defender, too, when healthy. The only sullied person was McNamara, who did not replace Buckner with Stapleton, as he did often during the season- for defensive purposes. McNamara still defends the decision... "The case is that Buckner was the best first baseman I had," said McNamara. "And Dave Stapleton has taken enough shots at me since [then] that he didn't get in that ball game, but Dave Stapleton's nickname was 'Shakey.' And you know what that implies. I didn't want him playing first base to end that game, and it was not any sentimental thing that I had for Billy Buck to leave him out there. He was the best first baseman I had."

    With the Pedey decision now gone for 2019 (or at least 60 days), and Holt now on the 25, the only roster issues are with the pitching staff. On IL: Eovaldi Johnson Thornburg (Brewer & Maddox) Possibly Worthy of a Call-Up at Some Point: Poyner DHernandez Shawaryn J Mejia J Taylor J Smith E Ramirez Candidates for demotion (have options) Lakins Weber (not if he keeps doing well) Velazquez Out of options (DFA/Trade): Thornburg & Johnson
  25. moonslav59
    They did. Koji's numbers were second to none, for what that's worth.
