    Maybe depends when Lin gets off the IL.
  2. moonslav59
    I'd be fine with flipping Devers with Beni. My main wish is for JD to stay batting 4th.
  3. moonslav59
    He may be a September call-up. Since Nunez and/or Holt may be gone next year, he may have a chance next ST'ing, but again, I'm not counting on squat.
  4. moonslav59
    I'd like Mookie at lead off and second. The only way I'd move Betts to lead off would be to put Bogey 2nd. 1. Betts 2. Bogey 3. Beni 4. JD 5. Devers 6. Moreland-Chavis 7. Chavis- Pearce 8. Vaz 9. JBJ

    I'm staying out of the Marco bandwagon crusade. If it happens, I can say "I told you so," but I'll believe it when I see it.
  6. moonslav59
    I'm thinking Betts stays with the Sox, some how- some way.
  7. moonslav59
    Agreed, and it is very rare for a team to trade a player and then re-sign him that next winter.

    JBJ 2018 .502 Up to May 19th .833 May 20-27 (.979 May 20-31) .548 on May 27th JBJ 2019 .421 Up to May 19th 1.081 May 20-27 .552 on May 27th

    Sox OPS over the last 28 days: 1.033 Devers .963 JD .952 Vaz .929 Bogey .928 Moreland .864 Chavis .840 Betts .753 Beni .737 JBJ .669 Pearce .653 Leon .625 Nunez 5 guys over .928!!!! 7 guys over .840! 9 guys over .737! Even Leon and Pearce are at or nearing respectability. Only Nunez still looks lost. OPS Against: .468 Walden (61 PAs) .470 Workman (41) .482 Hembree (40) .507 Sale (128) .566 Brasier (38) .571 Weber (57) .593 Lakins (14) .622 Barnes (36) .633 Porcello (132) .658 JSmith (33) .699 Price (47) .706 ERod (125) .788 Brewer (51) .789 Velazquez (70) 1.096 Thornburg (34) .634 Team!

    I know longevity matters, and that's why I added the qualifier about who determines the deciding factors. Fisk was here for a over 4,000 PAs, but if someone wants to put Pedey ahead of him, because he has 50% more games with the Sox, I'm fine with that. If longevity (with the Sox) is a major factor, then Pedro, Fisk, Lynn, Nomar, Tiant and others get knocked down significantly, which is okay. One could start another thread on who was the best Sox player for a 5-7 year span. That list may look something like this: 1T Williams & Pedro 3 Clemens 4 Young 5 ???

    Good points, and the same can be said of ownership. They do everything they can to protect their profits- sometimes to a fault.
  12. moonslav59
    It might also be interesting to see how a (possible) slip in defensive metrics affects his arb and FA money.
  13. moonslav59
    Fisk had about 2/3's the games with Boston as Pedey, so his WAR per game is much higher. Same with Lynn and others... not that this has to be the deciding factor.
  14. moonslav59
    Maybe a fluke, since he's 14 for 40 (.350 BA and .500 OBP) the other times he leads off an inning.
  15. moonslav59
    It's hard, but it's something that's been debated for decades. Yes, it's nearly impossible, but you can see how dominating a player was in his era and compare that dominance to a player in another era. To me, Pedro was the greatest pitcher of all time- for a 5-7 year stretch, once you look at the context of his era and how he was so far ahead of the league ERA, WHIP and K/9 or K/BB numbers of his time.
  16. moonslav59
    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
  17. moonslav59
    No, your not asking for anything he hasn't already done over and over- bounce back after a long slump.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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).
  21. 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.
  22. moonslav59
    I'd prefer .380+ from our lead off guy, but I think Beni will hit near that from here on out.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.)
  25. moonslav59
    The weird thing is, he started turning it around on May 20th, last year, too.
