    I'd prefer that, too. Masa is a separate issue.
  2. moonslav59
    And it can be instantly fixed with an OF'er for Paredes + BKing trade.
  3. moonslav59
    1. Yes. 2. No, if we do #1. The farm is more than fine. The lack of everyday top prospects is not a major concern, since almost all our 13 players on the 26 are under team control for 3+ years.... many for 5-9. If anything, our pitching is logjammed.
  4. moonslav59
    All the more reason to trade him. No way am I DH'ing Abreu or Rafaela, so Duran can run around misjudging fly balls. I also think Anthony is much better on defense.
  5. moonslav59
    I wanted ES more than most and more after Alonso signed than right before he signed with SEA. I disliked his defense but think the need for a power RHB was and still is too high to not want him. Plus, he was the last big bat standing. If he could hit .790 with 30+ bombs, I could handle his defense for one year and 140+ games. (Hell, if Contreras gets hurt he might have played there, instead. If Mayer & Romy do great, maybe we could have DH'd him more.
  6. moonslav59
    This is why I think we will do something significant, but not likely big enough to satisfy Drew and Fred. (Maybe not me, either.)
  7. moonslav59
    Rafaela is my favorite Sox player, and I even have suggested trading him, so as not to hurt the offense. I think we agree more than not. I'd prefer not trading Bello, Tolle or Early for a decent infielder, and trading anyone less valuable will likely not get a guy we really think will give us a big boost. Crawford + DHam? Harrison or Oviedo or Sandoval + Mullins? Is that enough?
  8. moonslav59
    No way anyone wants to trade Duran for lower return. I think notin is the only one suggesting prospects be a part of the return value.
  9. moonslav59
    We disagree on who is in the smaller pool. To me, the Astros are desperate for an OF'er by as much as we are for a 3B/2Bman. Paredes has less yrs and a higher AAV than Duran, Abreu and Rafaela. Why are we the ones needing to cave and get lower value back?
  10. moonslav59
    Which is a better offense? DH Duran 3B Mayer/Romy 2B DHam/Romy or DH Masa/Casas/Romy 3B Paredes/Shaw 2B Mayer/Romy
  11. moonslav59
    A fine example he set when he got suspended for inappropriate comments on the field and missing games in TOR due to not being "entirely selfless." I want Duran on the team. I don't want DHam playing a major role in 2026. There are ways to do both.
  12. moonslav59
    Again, I would not be happy watching Suarez at 3B on D, but he played over 150 games there in 2025. Suarez is gone. We can and should do better. Let's move on.
  13. moonslav59
    I like Duran more, too. Plus, his speed has value not shown in OPS. I'd prefer Duran in the line-up but we need a 3B/2Bman more. The gain made from DHam to whoever we get for Duran is much greater than the loss from Duran to Masa/Casas/Romy/Campbell at DH.
  14. moonslav59
    Two teams have an extra FT infielder and we have an extra FT OF'er. We need an infielder and both teams could use an OF'er. (HOU really needs one badly) A trade seems logical, to me, assuming they can agree on return valus.
  15. moonslav59
    Anyone do Duran for Matt Shaw? BTV has em about even. How about Duran, Bello & Masa +$8M out of $36M owed for Shaw and Suzuki?
  16. moonslav59
    Not for pennies.
  17. moonslav59
    This is no joke: that cat thought she was a dog. She was raised with one. Used the dog door and went to the bathroom outside. No cat litter box needed. She'd walk around the block with us and the dog, and the birds would see her and start screeching, they'd flock from miles around and form a gauntlet down the street and some would swoop down on her and peck her head. She had scabs on her ears from the attacks. My wife bought a super-soaker squirt gun to shoot at the birds swooping our cat. I could go on an on...
  18. moonslav59
    I think it has to be Abreu for Paredes+, but the theory is the same. I'd prefer Duran for IP and BKing over Abreu for IP and Sousa
  19. moonslav59
    That could work, but KC will not used as UT. He'll play everyday in AAA or have a significant role at the MLB level. Sub Cora's binky, DHam, for KC and that could be a cheap way out of it for JH.
  20. moonslav59
    True. Our cat used to bring us unbroken bird eggs, so we had to convert her to indoors only.
  21. moonslav59
    But still 99.5% Brez. Got it.
  22. moonslav59
    We keep our secrets to ourselves! 🙃
  23. moonslav59
    I can't see HOU accepting this deal, but this is what BTV thinks he's worth: Slaten or Soto or Oviedo + Valera Oviedo + Bennett Phillips + Wong Campbell + Eyanson I can see why Brez might be saying no to Abreu for IP.
  24. moonslav59
    We didn't need him at 3B, and we didn;t need him at 1B... until we did. Things change. Key word from Cora? "Adjust" He said it not ESPN or the guys on your corner.
  25. moonslav59
    So that absolves him all but maybe 0.5%, which he has to share with Cora. Got it.
