    I'd put him at +0.5, so yes, I kinda agree.
  2. moonslav59
    Not saying all these guys are available or realistic Sox targets, but here are some selected ERA- leaders from 2024-2025 (300+ IP- only 54 pitchers in sample size) 2. Skubal 57 3. Sale 59 5. C Sanchez 68 (Crochet is #6 at 72) 7. Nate 73 8. Hunter Brown 73 12. Peralta 77 13. R Suarez 79 14. Imanaga 80 15. Framber 82 17. Lugo 83 (Pivetta is #18 at 83) 19. Ryan 86 20. Wacha 86 22, N Martinez 87 24. Singer 90 26. Littell 92 (Bello is #28 at 93) 29. Quintana 94 31. Flaherty 95 32. Berrios 96 33. Bibee 96 34. Gore 97 35. Kikuchi 99 36. Cease 99 37. Keller 99 Bassitt 101, Gallen 102 Set the IP limit to 200 IP, and we have these additions (114 pitcher sample size) 5. Hunter Greene 63 8 C. Burnes 71 14. M Boyd 76 27. Tr. Rogers 84 38. M Kelly 88 40. Lodolo 90 44. P Lopez 91 (Houck is at 59 with 97) 60. E Cabrera & Lorenzen 97 66. S Gray 100

    I wouldn't mind Singer, but I'm not overpaying for a one and done #3/4 SP'er. We need a 1/2 type. I'll overpay for that.
  4. moonslav59
    I'll believe it when I see it, and I don't expect to see it. The Sox did extend Devers, and I doubt they had dumping him in mind. They also extended Crochet to $170M/6, but that's not a FA signing. It is a long term commitment (over 5 years and over $100M for a pitcher.) Their last biggest SP signings were extending Sale ($145M/5) and re-signing Nate at $68M/4. Although signed near the same time, Sale's kicked in 2020- Nate's in 2019. That Price deal at $217M/7 was the shocker and very likely the outlier. This season, I don't see any SP'er worth going even 3+ years on, so I hope they extend their trend. I'm hoping (not expecting) we trade for a solid SP'er and sign one big bat and a second pretty good one. Maybe add Matz and Ref, if we can.

    Gore has 2 arb years left. He had an ERA+ of 98 and 100 over the last 3 seasons. That being said, I'd give Campbell for him. I don't see him as the solid #2 SP'er I wanted, so I'd kinda want one along with Gore. That might mean deflecting or neglecting the big bats we really need. Of the nearly certain available SP'er, who is your #1 target? Ryan Gore Keller Gore (What about higher contract guys like Gray or Lopez?)
  6. moonslav59
    I fixed it for you.
  7. moonslav59
    It's hard to know what Cora would have done, but he did say he liked Bregman at 2B. IMO, the best set-up would have been 3B Bregman, SS Mayer, 2B Story, 1B Devers, DH Casas. If they were hellbent on Campbell over Mayer, then Campbell at 2B and Story at SS.
  8. moonslav59
    After all the real or fake runs at big names, I do think they felt a great need to make a show to the fans that they were not lying by signing Breggie. I'm not sure the sham worked, as it turned out to be just a one and done, and then shortly afterwards, they dumped Devers, so if anything, we are behind where we were before the Bregman signing, last winter. Way behind.
  9. moonslav59
    I'm not sure anyone offers him $140M/5, so maybe he settles on near $120M/4. The Tigers offered him $170M/6, last winter. That would come to about $140M/5, now or $115M/4, if pro-rated, and he's a year older and has a slightly higher injury risk factor.
  10. moonslav59
    He'll cost way more than Sandoval plus Paxton, but I agree. We need a major power bat. Position is secondary.
  11. moonslav59
    So, you believe 1 year of Breggie was the reason we dumped 8 years of Devers. Got it.
  12. moonslav59
    How about Campbell & Clarke (maybe add Sandlin) Garcia, Arias and Sandlin?
  13. moonslav59
    I hope we go hard after Alonso. Schwarber would be okay, although he's a DH. (Alonso should be, too.) Suarez or Bichette would help, but are more like sideways moves from Bregman.
  14. moonslav59
    You actually think this?
  15. moonslav59
    And, if we don't replace Bregman in kind, him too. And, if we don't replace Gio in kind, him too. And, if....
  16. moonslav59
    Yes. I don't recall any rumors linking the Sox to Gray. (Too bad.)
  17. moonslav59
    Good addition to the non 40 man roster.
  18. moonslav59
    They did for Bregman, Buehler, Chapman, Sandoval, Giolito and some lesser FAs under Brez, but as of yet- no major signing beyond $40M/1 for Breggie. I'll say it again, I expect nothing, this winter, but that does not mean I wont suggest things we should be able to do. We may very well spend $25-40M AAV, this winter. Maybe it will continue to be just 1-2 year deals, but I'm suggesting we go large on 2-3 guys not mildly significantly on 4-5. That will likely mean we go long on at least one guy, in order to get top quality, but maybe we get two more Breggie type deals, instead. (I'm highly doubtful they follow my suggestions.)
  19. moonslav59
    No, we don't know if Cincy will trade a good pitcher, other than maybe Singer, but we do have what they need, and they have what we need, so there is some logic to thinking something might get done. More likely, we trade for Ryan, Keller or Alcantara. Those are known teams looking towards the future. (They may not be looking for Duran, but rather our young pitchers, Campbell, Garcia or Arias.)
  20. moonslav59
    If we add two everyday players while subtracting Bregman (FA) and Duran (trade), our 13 players on the roster plus 4-6 on the 40 might be... C: Narvaez & Wong 1B: _____ (Casas AAA) 2B: _____ Romy/DHam 3B: Mayer (Eaton AAA) SS: Story (Sogard AAA) LF: Anthony (Campbell AAA) CF: Rafaela RF: Abreu & Jh Garcia DH: Yoshida That's 17 players, not counting Grissom (DFA) or a 3rd catcher.
  21. moonslav59
    He wasn't offered that silly amount last winter. I'm not sure what changed? Inflation? Maybe Age. Yes. Health outlook? Yes (for the bad.)
  22. moonslav59
    If the Mest don't bring Alonso back, I think Philly gets one and the other might be someone we can outbid other teams for, since the Dodgers probably won't sign a DH/1Bman type. They'll go for Tucker or Bichette and Cease or Framber.
  23. moonslav59
    Several of us wanted him.
  24. moonslav59
    I think we'd have to force Yoshida or Hicks into the deal as a salary balance or partial balance part of any offer made.
  25. moonslav59
    I think Cincy need offense enough that they may trade from pitching depth. Yes, Singer would make the most sense, but for the right offensive player(s) they may part with Lodolo. I don't think they'll offer Greene. I think they'd take Duran and Garcia for Lodolo. Campbell could be subbed for Garcia, but we might want something more from their side, or force then to take Hicks with KC & Duran. I'm not sure I add KC, even with Hicks. Does BTV have KC+ Hicks about equal to Jh Garcia?
