    I was in a hurry and meant to do Nunez and Holt. Those numbers are for Nunez. I'll go back and correct it. Sorry.
  2. moonslav59
    At least we have Velazquez and Wright to fill-in, if someone gets hurt or if Pom keeps going the way he has.
  3. moonslav59
    JBJ always looks bad on offense for long stretches every year. He also has a hot streak(s) every year, except his first one. This should be expected. I'm not sure why so many thought this year would be different.

    I'm not sure I want Nunez playing OF until his knee is 100%. That may one small reason why Swihart had more value than HRam.

    My eyes show that Holt & Nunez suck on defense, but the numbers show their ok here and there. I'll be consistent and go with those that have large enough sample sizes: Nunez SS: -13.4 (2091 innings) -42 DRS 2B: -9.7 (729 innings) -15 DRS 3B: -7.1 (1902 innings) -5 DRS OF: +17.0 (322 innings) -3 DRS He sucks. B Holt -10.1 3B (876 innings) -12 DRS -6.0 1B (129 innings) -2 DRS -3.8 2B (958 innings) +2 DRS +2.5 OF (1237 innings) +18 DRS +5.8 SS (286 innings) -5 DRS He sucks, except in the OF. (SS is too small a sample size.)

    He's a decent hitter with many seasons below "decent" for a starter, anyways. He's had a seasonal OPS over .758 just once (2017), which was greatly aided by his 165 PAs in Boston at .892. He was at .752 with SF before coming here. I'm thinking our views of him being a good or very good hitter might be tainted by our observations over a small sample size last year. He's a career .725 hitter. I'm thinking Swihart could surpass that. Nunez has done better since 2015, so I'm fine with viewing him as a .750 type hitter going forward, even though he is nearing post-prime. .758 2015 .758 2016 .801 2017 .617 2018

    He still has a long swing, when he's in a hot streak.
  8. moonslav59
    I'd go with B+ on international signings. Even if we did not miss a year of signings, his overall grade would still be very good.
  9. moonslav59
    I'm not an expert on swings, but I don't notice much difference in JBJ's swing when he's hot or cold.
  10. moonslav59
    I hate using the argument that "everyone is doing it," but it's probably true. My point is, people judging Ben on FA signings and draft picks without looking at the prospects he signed as international FAs is not fair. Even with the sanctions placed on the Sox, Ben's overall international record is still an A.
  11. moonslav59
    They both suck on defense. Swihart is unproven at any position on defense, but I think he has the potential to hit better than Holt and Nunez career numbers. The ability to be a 3rd catcher might at least balance the defensive end. If he does hit better or the same, he should be able to stick at the ML level for some team.
  12. moonslav59
    What antics?
  13. moonslav59
    If it could be proven LL was behind the Pablo & HRam signings, then Ben's final grade would be way higher.
  14. moonslav59
    Look at Holt and Nunez OPS numbers. They both are around .700 career. Swi hart does not need to hit all that well to stick as a utility/3rd catcher role.
  15. moonslav59
    True, but their momentum was shattered by countless horrific calls- all in Golden State's favor. I'm totally done with the NBA... probably forever. (I'm not even a Rockets Fan!)
  16. moonslav59
    The Astros havs a .718 DH OPS this year. I could see them getting him.
  17. moonslav59
    Gordon has been mugged about 5 times with no call.
  18. moonslav59
    I'm not watching the finals. The NBA sucks.
  19. moonslav59
    This is like Wrestling. The fix is in.
  20. moonslav59
    Maybe the ring in 2013 made Ben think he had 3 years to rebuild.
  21. moonslav59
    I've said my "problems" with you. For real. Truth.
  22. moonslav59
    He sees the bench calling the pitches, so that must mean sandy is a dufus and brings nothing to the defensive side of the equation. Like pitch calling is the only factor on defense for a catcher.
  23. moonslav59
    The Sox are at the 1/3 mark of the season. We have the best record in MLB. 37-17 BOS (.685) -2.0 NYY -2.5 HOU & MIL -3.5 SEA -6.0 ATL -7.0 PHI & WAS -8.0 LAA & Cubs -8.5 COL & STL
  24. moonslav59
    "Babbles" was being kind.
  25. moonslav59
    Nobody should be judged on his first 213 PAs in MLb vs LHPs. He did well in the minors, so I'm hoping he picks it up vs lefties. I'm just saying I'm concerned and it needs to be watched.
