    We drafted Cameron Cannon a SS (Jr from AZ). He was picked 43rd and ranked 79th by MLB.com.
  2. moonslav59
    There is a draft thread.
  3. moonslav59
    I'm usually the last to give up, but I know I'm not even close, at this point. This team is too damn good to stay near .500 in a league full of many very bad teams.
  4. moonslav59
    3 games back in the wildcard with 5 teams ahead of us is nothing,let alone 2 or 3. 1) What makes you think we'll continue playing lackluster ball for the next 100 games? (Especially when all we have to do is just play like we did in May every month goign forward to make the WC, 2) How come so many posters can so quickly dismiss last year as being overly lucky, but can't entertain the idea that maybe this year has been bad luck, and that will change? 3) Our SP'er look way different over the past 6-7 weeks than the first 2-3 weeks, and maybe Eovaldi can give us a big boost. Is our offense and SP'ing that bad? 4) Can a mediocre pen really be enough to keep us from the WC? (Will we not trade for a solid pen arm or two this summer?)
  5. moonslav59
    There were also poster bitching about Devers just a few weeks ago.
  6. moonslav59
    My point was we came pretty close to a 24-2 or 22-4 run, which rivals last year's best run. IMO, I think this team still has a big run in them. We can also win back games slowly.
  7. moonslav59
    He's our cheapest SP'er- by far. He has nasty stuff. He's been inconsistent, but I'm sticking with him.
  8. moonslav59
    I'd like to sign a cheap vet as insurance. I don't think Porcello is back with us next year. I think Betts is our next big financial focus.
  9. moonslav59
    I've always been high on Devers, but he has impressed even me, this year!
  10. moonslav59
    A company I once worked at gave everyone a $1000 bonus- some complained.
  11. moonslav59
    Some will never be happy.
  12. moonslav59
    The Rays are for real. Count the second half of last year, and they are right up there.
  13. moonslav59
    I've said all along, we will be contenders and not sellers. I just responded to a post that said we had no FA to be of value to trade.
  14. moonslav59
    He's a FA after this year. Based on the faulty assumption that we'll be out of it and e sellers, trading Porcello makes sense- in this context ONLY.
  15. moonslav59
    Until we find a true 2Bman, Chavis will not be in the OF.
  16. moonslav59
    JBJ has a SLG% of .721 since May 20th (last 13 games). His OPS has been 1.129 since then- tops on the team. I know it's a small sample size, but he's had prolonged hot streaks his whole career. The idea of benching him now is sheer trolling. (He's also at .931 sine May 10th- 19 games) Chavis is going to have to make some adjustments after pitchers have figured our the holes in his swing. If he doesn't, he may become the next Middlebrooks. I have faith, but he is not doing anything recently to show he should be replacing JBJ, and why are we even talking about Chavis vs JBJ, but for some clown troll? It will be Chavis vs Holt/Nunez at 2B or Chavis vs Moreland/Pearce at 1B. He will occasionally DH when JD plays the OF and a 1Bman is back from the IL. Chavis of late: .664 his last 24 games(.299 OBP) .687 his last 16 games (.290 OBP) The kid had an incredible 11 game stretch, where he hit 1.418. Without that stretch, he'd be pretty close to JBJ in 2019 OPS.
  17. moonslav59
    I was saying this assuming we become sellers, which I don't think will happen. Trading guys who are doing very poorly brings back nothing. Porcello and cash would bring back a nice prospect or two. A JBJ at .700+ in July would bring back a nice prospect. I AM NOT for trading anyone on the ML roster, unless someone wants Nunez.
  18. moonslav59
    Ignore the clown troll, and maybe he'll just go away.
  19. moonslav59
    Betts is having his third best season out of his 5 full seasons. 1.078 2018 .897 2016 .853 2019 .820 2015 .803 2017 He's just.035 from his career .885 OPS- basically one big game away from it. Yes, his power is down (.462 SLG), but his OBP is .390 (second best of his career). He's still on pace for about 24 HRs per 162 games, which is 3 less than his career HR/162 game number of 27. (BTW, Mookie's lare season career OPS numbers: .919 in Aug & .922 in Sept- his two best months.)
  20. moonslav59
    I'd rather see us get rid of 2 teams. Move OAK to NC and and disband MIA & maybe BAL. North BOS, NYY, NYM, PHI, WAS, TOR, PIT South NC, ATL, TB, HOU, TX, STL, KC North DET, CLE, CIN, CWS, CC, MIL, MN West SEA, SF, LAA, LAD, SD, AZ, COL 4 games vs 21 teams from other divisions: 84 games 13 games vs 6 teams in own division: 78 games
  21. moonslav59
    One could swap Pitt to the North (or add Montreal and not NC), NC to the East and STL to the South to pair with KC.
  22. moonslav59
    Making geographic divisions not only aids attendance and viewership for newer rivalries, it lessens the amount of games teams like the Astros play on the west coast, where late games lessen TV viewership. If they do add two team, I suggest Las Vegas and North Caroline, I'd like to see something like this: East: BOS, NYY, NYM, PHI, BAL WSH, TOR, PIT North: CLE, CIN, DET, CWS, CC, MIL, MN, STL South: NC, ATL, TBR, MIA, HOU, TEX, KC, COL West: SEA, OAK, SF, LAD, LAA, SD, AZ, LV Games vs non division: 3 A vs half and 3H vs other half (flip each year): 3 games x 24 teams=72 games Games vs own division: 6 H + 6 A vs 7 teams= 84 games + 1 game vs 6 in own division= 6 games Or play 4 games vs other divisions (can be 2H-2A or alt 4 H-4A each year for east-west coast trips): 4 x 24= 96 games play 5H + 5A vs own division: 10 x 7= 70 play 2 games vs 2 teams with same place previous yr.= 2 games
  23. moonslav59
    Certainly some do, especially, if we kick in some of the salary still owed. Porcello would bring back a nice prospect or two. If JBJ keep hitting well, he would bring something useful. Holt, Nunez and Pearce, not much, even if we pay almost all of their remaining money owed.
  24. moonslav59
    I hope they rest everyone more next spring- just so the snowbirds get bummed out and another controversy brews. When we win it all, we'll bake a huge crow pie.
  25. moonslav59
    Wasn't Betts dealing with an injury? I don't think 6, 4. 4 & 3 less PAs in ST'ing by four of our players ruined their April.
