    Summers are great! I spend every summer on Sebago Lake. I don't miss the winters at all. I moved to Mexico City in 2004 (after the ring) and have never considered moving back full time. Boston is a great town. (Yes, I think of it as a big town- not a city.)

    Take a deep breath. Relax. All is good.

    I live just southwest of Houston. I know my humidity. You guys are just playin'.

    Let's see how healthy wrists help Bogey with sliders. I'm not assuming greatness or weakness. I'm just saying give it time. By the way, when was it, exactly, that Bogey switched his approach from slap to power, or are you suggesting he's about to enter that phase?

    The average humidity in Boston by month stays in a tight range from 61 to 70, Seattle's ranges from 64 to 82. https://weather-and-climate.com/average-monthly-Humidity-perc,Boston,United-States-of-America https://weather-and-climate.com/average-monthly-Humidity-perc,Seattle,United-States-of-America

    Recognizing a slider is important, but using your wrists to adjust is a big part of the split second process. I wouldn't assume Bogey will continue having difficulty hitting the slider. He was doing fine in previous seasons.

    LOL! Addition by subtraction. Subtract 118 PAs of Rutledge at .558 188 of Marrero at .593. That's 470 PAs of sub .600 from from just 3 guys. Then, there's .... 108 Pablo .622 38 Davis .595 All together, we'r looking at over 600 PAs of a combined sub .600 OPS.

    Part of the reason our staff did so well was that Leon was catching them. I'm fine with Swihart as the numnber 2, but there will be a drop off in pitcher success when he catches (IMO).
  9. moonslav59
    It's a good deal for us...any of the 3.
  10. moonslav59
    Hopefully, Swihart has a nice spring with some time behind the plate. I think trading him makes some sense, but I'm still holding out hope on his promise from years ago.
  11. moonslav59
    If he had been making $1M, I'd have not complained.
  12. moonslav59
    Oh, okay. That makes more sense. I don't really recall too many upset Buch fans after finding out Philly took the whole contract.
  13. moonslav59
    Yes, some of these things will not happen as hoped, and some unexpected bad things will happen, but I think more can go right than wrong. We had so many declines last year that I'm thinking there's only one way to go for many players this year: up. Hope springs eternal!

    It's nice to have so many areas where we can vastly improve without it being all that surprising. Of course, the potential is there for several not happening, but for a team that finished in first place and still having so much room to get better, I'm liking our chances. (Not listed in any particular order) 1. Price from 11 starts to 31. 2. Smith from 7 IP to maybe 57. 3. Thornburg from 0 IP to 30+. 4. Devers from 240 PAs to maybe 540 or 640. 5. Workman from 40 IP to 70 or 80. 6. Maddox from 17 IP to maybe over 37. 7. Wright from 5 GS'd to maybe 25. 8. Improvements from our killer Bs (Bogey .746 to >800+?, JBJ from .726 to .780+? and Betts from .803 to .875+?) 9. A big year from Beni? (.776 to .850+?) 10. A healthy and productive season from HRam (.750 to .800+?)
  15. moonslav59
    To me, it actually screams "Poor defense!" With Moreland at 1B and a healthy Pedey at 2B, it's getting closer to average but still not quite there.
  16. moonslav59
    ...and then maybe Smith and Devers (full year)
  17. moonslav59
    Nobody can proclaim Thornburg "is just fine" or is "toast". He's had a serious injury that some never recover from. I'm hopeful, but I'm expecting to see little for at least the first 2 months or so. I wonder, if he ends up on the 60 day DL. I expect Pedey to as well, and maybe ERod.
  18. moonslav59
    Hitters can and often do adjust. Let's home Bogey can do just that. One could argue that the wrist injury affected how he could adjust to sliders last year. We'll see. (There's certainly a chance he never adjusts well enough to become what we hoped he'd be.)
  19. moonslav59
    The Phillies paid his entire salary after the trade. I'm glad you don't manage the truth squad.
  20. moonslav59
    Well said, and he's got nasty stuff that projects to better than his numbers show.
  21. moonslav59
    Even 2 years is a stretch.
  22. moonslav59
    Having a no to low ranged 2Bman is not something I even want to consider.If Chavis is the hitter many think he will become, he can DH after JD opts out or play 1B after HRam fails to vest.
  23. moonslav59
    Yes, you're right. The biggest mistake was even having Holt in the line-up. Batting him 1st or second 10 times just fanned my flames.
  24. moonslav59
    Especially when his salary was not all that high (for most teams).
  25. moonslav59
    Please just let this idea go. Chavis is such a bad 3Bman, they are moving him to 1B, and he may end up too bad for that position. He'll likely be a DH and little more. He is not going to play 2B.
