    Agreed, and if he turns it down, like he will, the money not spent on Kimbrel should help us get someone else plus the comp pick.
  2. moonslav59
    To do that one season would be mind-boggling. A career .482 OBP is beyong mind-boggling.
  3. moonslav59
    Would you offer him a QO? If you did, would you hope he takes it?
  4. moonslav59
    Devers is our FT 3Bman. He will most likely be that to start next year, too. He's way to young to be thinking of finding a replacement for him. It's logical to think about moving him to 1B or DH, but this kid has enormous offensive upside. We should expect a learning curve before he gets there.

    Suarez, who is signed for just $9.4M AVV until 2025 would do it for me. Seager's $16M x 3 with a $15M 4th year option is a close call. We could trade Bogey for something special or move him to 3B and Devers to 1B. Baez has 3 arbs left to JBJ's two, so I'd probably say yes to that one, too. Without thinking hard and looking at contracts, I'd say no to the rest.

    If he's traded, there is no QO. If I was Toronto, I'd offer a QO. It's a one year risk with super high upside. They could also trade him after he accepts the QO.

    We seem to have issues with getting players known to be great vs LHPs, but who just don't carry over that greatness once they are here. Maybe, it's the Fenway wall that messes them up. Maybe, it's the large RF that messes them up. Cody Ross was the last one, I remember, doing well for us, but he actually was forced to play FT due to OF injuries. Cody Ross: career: .710 v RHPs/.906 v LHP 2012 w BOS: .729 v RHPs/ 1.010 v LHPs. Jonny Gomes: career: .712/.855 2013: .745/.795 2014: .510/.743 Chris Young: career: .708/.823 2016: .766/.999 2017: .793/.590 I may be missing someone, but it looks like they almost always do better than the norn vs RHPs and are up & down vs LHPs. Pearce: career: .739/.858 2018 all: .785/1.049 w BOS: .762/1.299

    I totally agree. I'm sure many a GM would want JBJ and pay a lot for him, despite what some think here. I doubt any GM would match what I'd like in return.
  9. moonslav59
    Kinda reminds me of Rice-Lynn-Evans, but we traded away Lynn. I hope to see these three with the Sox for many years to come.
  10. moonslav59
    I generally hate bunt sacs. I guess, if you have a super weak hitter, who knows how to bunt, and the tying runner at 1B with no outs, maybe.
  11. moonslav59
    We have just about the same pen as last year, but we have Brasier instead of Abad. Last year, we had a 7.0 pen WAR (4th in MLB). 2017 to 2018 combined: 17.4 NYY 12.4 HOU 11.3 BOS 9.8 LAD 9.5 TBR 9.3 MIL 9.1 COL 8.3 PHI 7.7 TOR & CLE

    I don't have a lot of confidence in our pen at this moment, but if our numbers show we're a top 6 pen, I'm not sure I have any more faith in other elite teams' pens either, if they have done worse than ours all year long. Even the Yankee pen is not unbeatable. 2018 Team Pen WAR Leaders 8.2 NYY 6.7 Astros 6.5 Padres 4.9 Rays 4.5 Brewers 4.4 A's 4.3 Sox 4.2 Giants 4.0 Mariners We might end up facing the best two in MLB in the playoffs, but we're only 2-4 behind each, which if you look at 162 games it's just 1 out of 80 or 1 out of 40 difference in games won by the pen. We are better in other areas than those teams.
  13. moonslav59
    Yes, the runner moved to third might not have scored from second on Holt's triple. I hate sac bunts 99.9% of the time.
  14. moonslav59
    ...and no walks that I remember. 11 runs in an inning with no BBs. Maybe a first?
  15. moonslav59
    That's about 100 points of gravy. He's at .782 since May 12th, when his OPS was at .510. That's about 14-15 weeks of, more or less, steady hitting. Let's hop he can stay near .780 consistently going forward. That would be almost 200 points of gravy. He's also been getting some key late inning hits- something we didn't see much of earlier this year.
  16. moonslav59
    I'm really looking forward to ERod's start.
  17. moonslav59
    He only starts vs lefties, so the sample size is small and scattered. I expect him to rebound.
  18. moonslav59
    Wright? Velazquez? Price? Haley?
  19. moonslav59
    Isn't it Porcello's normal day start? He pitched Saturday. Eovaldi should pitch game 2. Maybe Wright or ERod will be ready by game 3.
  20. moonslav59
    Betts passes JD in OPS (1.066 to 1.061) Good to see... JBJ up over .700 (.703). Holt up to .720. Nunez on a steady rise to .680. He was at .651 seven games ago. Swihart nearing .585. He's been at .749 since JUN 26 (not counting tonight).
  21. moonslav59
    Agreed. He's our #3 catcher, despite his higher offensive upside.
  22. moonslav59
    How often does that happen?
  23. moonslav59
    We needed all 3 this year. Why push our luck?
  24. moonslav59
    They did all this year, until Vaz went on the DL. Besides, Swihart can play other positions and might learn another one this winter.
  25. moonslav59
    Didn't we just have 3 hits before this inning started?
