    Offense is more fun to watch and more easily understandable. To me, a great defensive play is vastly more entertaining and "fun" than any hitting or running feat, except maybe a game winning hit, but even then, a great game-saving catch is more thrilling.

    Wouldn't Velazquez get a shot first?
  3. moonslav59
    We paid some cash for him.
  4. moonslav59
    Not even in late inning blow outs. It tells us something.
  5. moonslav59
    Agreed but not by a whole lot. Plus, he looks hobbled.
  6. moonslav59
    Putting Nunez at 3B once Pedey returns is an option, but I'm not sure there would be much of a defensive upgrade with that shuffle.
  7. moonslav59
    After the 100 ABs are up, our other options might look different than they do now. Maybe Moreland or HRam are struggling or on the DL. Maybe JMart has shown he should not play in the OF at all, except in NL parks. (Note: he's already shown that to me.) Maybe Nunez hasn't earned the right to supplant JBJ in the OF once Pedey returns.

    It's not just the 7 errors. He's made many more mistakes than 7. Some still got the guy out- others did not. He'd probably make some errors at 1B, too, but I still think that's where he'll eventually end up. Yes, he has some quick reflexes, and that's a big plus at 3B, but I just don't think it's a good idea to put a young kid into a learning curve situation during a heated championship year or two. It's a lot of pressure. If he keeps contributing to losses due to his glove/arm, his great offensive abilities will be partially diminished.

    Leon's OPS is about what his OBP usually is (.261). Although I would not DFA Leon, I do think there's an outside chance they keep Swihart over Leon or create a phantom DL for onr of them once Pedey returns.

    Preaching to the one-man choir. I thought last winter was the ideal time to do it. We needed a 1Bman. Moose was on the market this year. He's not great at 3B, but he's adequate.
  11. moonslav59
    How about Swihart and steroid boy Chavis?
  12. moonslav59
    I'm so glad we don't have to worry about the Astros this year. The have no closer of any worth, as evidenced by today's meltdown with the Yanks.
  13. moonslav59
    Great. He's in for that bum Beni, who can't hit and can't field. You forgot his base running.
  14. moonslav59
    I hated the deal at the time, and not because of any dislike for Kimbrel. At the time, Kimbrel was making near FA money, so I felt we shouldn't have had to pay FA money AND prospects. Since the deal, closer costs have sky-rocketed and only Margot has shown ML readiness. At the time, I suggested Kimbrel should stay a top 3-5 closer for the remainder of his control time, and he has.
  15. moonslav59
    Margot> Chris Young & Swihart/Holt/Nunez/Lin in the OF

    from soxprospects.com... A big acquisition before the 2017 season, Tyler Thornburg looks like he is almost ready to contribute in Boston. He started his rehab appearance on Monday and struck out the side while allowing one hit for the PawSox. Kevin Dillon of MassLive.com wrote about Thornburg's difficult recovery from thoracic outlet syndrome surgery.

    The face of the franchise.

    Our last 24 games (all 3 game series): ATL 1st place HOU 1st place TOR 3rd place in toughest division NYM 2nd place NYY 2nd place CLE 1st place BAL last place NYY 2nd place That's 21 of our last 24 vs currently very good to excellent teams. We better have a nice record before the last 24. The Yanks' last 22 games (all 3 games, except TBR's 4): @SEA 3rd in tough division @MN 3rd in easy division TOR 3rd in toughest division BOS 1st BAL last pleace @TBR 4th place @BOS 1st place (13 of 22 on the road) Only 12 of their last 22 games are against .500+ teams.

    8 out of the remaining 14 AL teams (not counting ourselves) have losing or tied records. That's 57%. Our schedules should look "easier" at times. The NL has only 5 of 16 teams with a losing record.
  22. moonslav59
    10 blown saves in 3 years before 2018.
  23. moonslav59
    Team HR Leaders 44 NYY (30 games) 42 TOR (30) 42 LAA (30) 40 CLE (29) 38 BOS (30) 38 SEA 38 TEX 37 COL 37 WSH 37 STL 36 MIL 36 AZ Big difference from last year.
  24. moonslav59
    It will. These guys are not this bad.
  25. moonslav59
    We accept that players slump at times- JBJ more than most.
