    I'm not sure this is the year Devers busts out. He's still young. He still has some issues he needs to deal with, but I am extremely confident he will be a great hitter at some point. My biggest worry is his defense, but I think he can grow to become a decent or even a plus defender at 3B. At worst, I think he can be an average defensive 1Bman. He will also hit well enough to be a DH, if things don't get better on defense. I'm very hopeful he does well this year. I'd probably project an .800+ OPS this year.

    It's a great city. Lot's of nice restaurants,live music and parks. Enjoy!

    Nice to know. I wonder, if they will ever incorporate some sort of CERA value into WAR. (Very hard to quantify.)

    To me, it's absurd to think Henry would be okay with paying Betts $36M a year but really pay him $70.2M a year. The Sox HAVE to reset at some point- most likely after this year.

    Yes he did! 6 IP 0 ER 3 H+BB 6 IP 2 ER 6 H+BB 7 IP 1 ER 5 H+BB But before those last 3... 6 IP 4 ER 9 H+BB with Vaz 1.2 3 5 H+BB with Leon 2018 Season 2.37 with Leon (.587 OPSA in 329 PAs) 4.68 with Vaz (.780 OPSA in 394 PAs) Career: 2.83/.636 with Leon (769 PAs) 4.32/.735 with Vaz (1113) 5.73/.646 with Swihart (48)

    Price does better with Leon by more than Porcello.

    They do a lot of pinching- just maybe not actual pennies.
  8. moonslav59
    Besides his Cy Young season, he's been very consistent. Not great- not bad.

    You can buy a huge house with a decent sized yard for $200-250K about 20-30 minutes from downtown Houston. That's a monthly payment near your listed range.

    Ho-hum

    If DHernandez & Chavis or Dalbec can fill Porcello, Pearce & Moreland's shoes next year, we may be able to keep more stars than we thought was possible while still staying competitive. $36M Betts $35M Sale $31M Price $25M JD $25M Bogey $17M Eovaldi That's about $170M for 6 players. Add Pedey's $13M and we're up to about $183M for just 7 players. Add the player pension and 40 man roster scrubs in the minors and we're up to $200+M. That leaves about $5M to fill in the other 18 players on the 25 man roster and stay under the luxury tax for one year. $25M to stay under the $20M penalty line. $45M to stay under the $40M max line. We'd need to say good bye to JBJ & Nunez. Keeping Holt & Vaz might be hard. Barnes & Beni will start getting arb salaries with Devers not too far away either. It won't be easy. I think we lose Bogey and/or JD.

    Porcello will almost certainly be gone after this year. He's been our horse, so it will be hard to replace him without spending anything. D Hernandez may be our best hope in keeping Betts & Sale while remaining competitive. We'll also need Chavis/Dalbec to replace Pearce/Moreland after this year. Losing Pablo, Porcello, Pearce & Moreland's contracts will help, but with rising arb costs and a few other holes to fill, it won't be easy to keep a fine supporting cast around Betts, Sale, Price and maybe Bogey/JD, if we stay below the tax lines and pay 3 guys over $100M.
  13. moonslav59
    Are you up to a full 25 man (IL) roster, yet?
  14. moonslav59
    As a fellow Mainer, Texas is pretty inexpensive, too. No income tax (but an 8.5% sales tax). Housing, food and gas are cheaper here. AC (electricity) costs can get high in the summer.

    Seems like the Yanks are dropping like flies. Let's hope our health stays well.
  16. moonslav59
    Referring to several or us posters who have pumped up Devers and have very rosy outlooks on his future.
  17. moonslav59
    Not all "we".

    What's the magic number in the Grapefruit league, now?
  19. moonslav59
    Maybe because someone will offer something for one of them, and you'd miss out on upgrading your catcher position by a little bit.
  20. moonslav59
    Wait until the state is 10 feet underwater after the ice caps melt.
  21. moonslav59
    MLBTR projected $24M/2. If he starts 23, he'll be doing well enough to deserve the money.
  22. moonslav59
    There's also not as many days off as is usual for the start of seasons. I like the idea.
  23. moonslav59
    I bought mine for $155 11 years ago. We just paid it off. Houses like mine are selling for $225 now, so I'm happy, but with the interest I paid, I'm still not at a profit. (Cheaper than renting, for sure!.)
  24. moonslav59
    Wasn't meant to be, but do you really think these teams would not sell for a hefty profit right now? Recent purchases: 800M SDP in 2012 615M HOU in 2011 593M TX in 2010 845M Cubs in 2009 450M ATL in 2007

    I wish my house tripled in value over 5-10 years.
